What in the utter fuck is this dog shit take???? lol. Dude, Boomers INVENTED fucking computers. GenX, grow up along side them. We pretty all had a vic 20, Commadore 64, or Spectrum 48k/128k, or Amstrad CPC464. And later on an amiga, or an ST. The list is fucking endless, and thats before you get to to the Apple II, the trs80 and Commadore PET and later 386 PCs.
We grew up with ham radios, VCRs, TVs that only played games on one channel. We had Nintendo and Sega battling it out in the 80s, then Sony, nintendo, panasonic, Sega, NEC, SNK, Philips, Atari, Casio(who created a console exclusively for girls for some reason), Bandi, apple, and fuck knows how many others battling in the 90s. The idea that all these things were invented by/or used by boomer and genx, and you can sit there thinking we dont know how to use shit... We're the fucking figure it out generation, son. If something broke, we had to learn to fix it ourselves. And without youtube videos and FAQs to hold our hands.
Millennials, absolute kings of the terrible takes and pulling information out of their arse.
You're clearly an enthusiast and are one of the exceptions I spoke of. Calm down and think critically, please... Most people did not have Spectrums, Commodores, ham radios, etc. Enthusiasts like you absolutely did, and yes, you knew your shit if you did.
These days everyone has advanced electronic devices. Eveeeeryone.
You really came out swinging for no reason there, eh?
Not an enthusiast. Im the average. And you calm down, or send you to bed without any supper!!!
And as for "coming out swinging", youre god damn right. Cos you people are either ignoring us, or just making up dog shit about us. And now youre giving the shocked Pikachu face, cos someone got sick of the bullshit lies? Dude... I guess that another thing your generation love to do. Make it look like the bullied person standing up for themself is the asshole. Fuck, how you lot love to do that.
When you always assume bad intent, don’t be surprised people treat you as shit
By generalizing a generation, you’re doing the exact same thing you’re accusing people of doing, I hope you realize this
No shit, sherlock. Did you figure that out all by yourself, or did you have break out a special magical box of crayons to help?
I mean, I couldnt have made any more obvious if Id written it in pink glittery neon shit.
Solid comeback...
Thanks
If that can make you feel better, I agree that millenials suck at computers. I mean sure they can do some basic stuff, but most people I know don't know shit really
