On the gripping hand, they were right - the Ringworld would fall into the sun, but after books 3/4 of that series, it would have been a blessing if nobody ever brought a single one of its attitude jets back home.

MODERATORS
Not meeting up with friends at a loud venue, I like to talk to them not try to shout over the music.
Boomer opinions:
- Stop being so loud.
- Get off my lawn and please leave me alone.
- I work in tech, but sometimes tech is added to things needlessly. I just want my washing machine to be a washing machine. I'm tired of being the product.
- Silicon valley's "disruptors" are usually full of shit. The vast majority of the time: it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- Don't tell me what to do with my land if you're not willing to pay my taxes (or if you don't have good ecological reasons). I'll paint my shudders whatever color I want to.
- Bring back the damn knobs, buttons, and switches in my car. I don't need more touchscreens.
On the other hand...
- I recognize that the way I feel and some of the opinions I have are based on a context I grew up with that may no longer exist - or at least it may not exist in the form it once did. I recognize how I see things may die with me and my peers, and that's ok. It's a sad truth, but truth, nonetheless.

Most weed sucks now
I don't care that it has 30% THC, it feels bad
Real weed has curves (in the distribution of cannabinoids)!
