Remember kids: the higher the productivity graph climbs, the more proof there is that no one wants to work!

Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs

To be fair this does hit them first as they age

But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this

Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag

Just two years ago I thought they wouldn't see the effect of global warming and would die comfidently ignorant. I was wrong, but somehow it doesn't make things better.

And blame us for not having kids.

They need that new generation to exploit.

Mine just accused me of being gay via hearty use of homophobic slurs, because only women and gays cry, and i wasnt no woman.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 22 points 1 year ago

That's lame. Real men aren't afraid to cry, whether straight or otherwise.

Everyone said I was disadvantaged by having a single parent, but I didn't have to live through any of that shit except for 1 year my mother married (and then left the guy because he was an ass)

[–] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One good parents better than 30 shitty ones, mate, and sounds lik you had a good one.

[–] abraxas@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Ehhhhhhhh.... I wouldn't go that far. I had a not-terrible one, who only showed bad sides when I was in my 20s. lol

Haha ok this meme was good.

I'm one of the parents. Sorry for my generation. :)

We know it's not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.

We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they'll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we're able to dampen their greed and intolerance.

I'm pretty sure boomers didn't invent running.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Minor correction, boomers weren't the ones fighting for civil rights. Boomers would have been in kindergarten during the civil rights movement.

And that's why you always leave a note!

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Oh my god, that guy's arm just came off!

[–] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So....they did give us something to cry about.

[–] devious@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

They played the long game.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It can be four things.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Too real for me irl

[–] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

Well they weren’t lying

[–] shalva97@lemmy.sdfeu.org 5 points 1 year ago

That's a plot twist
