| Post subject: | Generation X |
If I hear one more gen x'er say "sorry, my computer's messed up," I'm going to club them with the signed George Brett bat hanging in their office. Your computer didn't fuck up... you just can't use a computer! And it's 2016... computers are essential to most jobs. The head chef at Gibson's doesn't burn a steak and declare "SORRY, THE GRILL FUCKED UP!" And it's not even the fact that they can't use a computer that is infuriating... it's that they indignantly state (after you show them where they went wrong) that "that wasn't there before!" or "it didn't let me do that before." Yes, it did. You just didn't see it because you were squinting at a 2008 laptop with Windows 10 as if it were an alien spacecraft sent back through time to torment you and put your unread email in folders you don't know how to access. From entry-level mailroom workers to fucking CFO's, gen X can't use a goddamn computer, and they refuse to admit it! Plus you gave us Geraldo Rivera! |

First of all, desktop computers are superior. Second of all, we're already logged on making fun of you and your IDIOT FRIENDS in IRC old-school. Third of all, it's not an age thing regarding chain emails, it's purely an IQ thing ... and that deficiency is rampant across all age ranges. Fourthly, one ticket to the tar pit, please and thank you. |

This made me think what is the dominant generation on the board? Is it Gen Y or Gen X? I'm sure baby boomers are 3rd, and millennials 4th, but who is the majority? |

Allah akbar, if Jbi11s is Gen X, can we trade him to Gen Y/the Millennials for IMU's latest attempt to grow facial hair and Ariel Winter. |
