Can we stop with the cutesy and coddling boomers

Only the ones with money had those luxuries. TVs and radios being found in most homes didn't really happen until the 80s.


Correct. Granted, Gen X is like this phantom generation between the boomers and millennials. Boomers constantly refer to gen X as millennials, and millennials often refer to them as boomers. Meanwhile gen X is more mentally sound than both of them considering that they raised themselves.

I'd say not so much mentally sound but more aware of things due to growing up during a time of very rapid and new advancements in technology. It's essentially resulted in Gen X on average having more developed observational and analytical skills due to frequently having to figure out and interact with newly developed things without a user's guide or manual being provided by someone else.

Wow, I'm going to assume that you haven't worked on with with a support desk recently, because really, Gen X is just as developed as the previous generations in this respect.

This is exactly why they are more mentally sound. Gen X has very strong problem solving skills, making them far more resilient and acclimated when it comes to dealing with stress and difficult times without turning into a sobbing mess. If we cried and were told to cry to mommy and daddy, all we could say is, "I can't. They're not home."

So, you mean like this type of resiliency? https://www.unilad.com/community/vir...%20she%20said. ?

and before you say I'm not being sympathetic- to anyone who's been laid off, you have my sincere sympathy- however please do not make any statements about how SpeCial Gen X is with respect to your problem solving or resiliency, when prior generations lived through horrendous wars, depressions, and other events. All generations have their trials.

The tiktoker in your link is Gen Z. She's in her early 20's and just graduated from uni.

Here is an actual Gen Xer

I also never said Gen X is special. I said they have developed problem solving skills due to having to essentially raise themselves because their parents were never home. No need to get hurt if you were born to a younger generation and you think I'm saying you're weak. I am fully aware that older generations had it rougher than us. That is what we were constantly told anytime we sulked or had a bad day. I am also aware that millennials and zoomers most certainly have their own problems. Find where I said they didn't.

While I agree with your posts, I just want to go on the record that Gen X is, in fact, awesome. Now if we could get around to electing one of us President...

Sorry, our only options are geriatric white dudes.

I want to make further jokes, but I also don't want to go into US politics on a video game forum, so I'm gonna stop there.

Pretty soon Gen Xers will be geriatric white dudes, so you will get your wish in the near future.

Mao disagrees. Differences is highly situationals and can nots be applied in blankets-fashion across generations. For examples, Mao, a Boomer, worked in laboratory for many years. Mao understood principles behind techniques Mao used in Mao experiments and could quickly correct if something wents wrong. Many young peoples whats came to work where Mao worked, was only ables to use pre-made kits and often lacked ability to analyze problems when experiments failed. On other hand, Mao seen lots young peoples ables to build and test computers with much ease. Something Mao would has trouble with. Mao thinkings is not as much difference between generations as whats some peoples believe and if difference does show ups is very situationals and probably very specific to certain individuals. Moral of Mao story: STOP GENERALIZINGS!
