Gen-X here. The reason they’re giving you that advice is because that used to actually work. If you wanted a job, for instance, you needed to comb through newspapers or physically go around and look for places that were hiring. It wasn’t uncommon for ads to to say “apply in person.” Without the Internet making applying for a job almost trivially easy compared to how it used to be, going through the extra effort of showing up dressed professionally was a way to show that you were serious and willing to put in real effort.

The Boomers and Gen-Xers telling you to do the same aren’t living in the same decade as the rest of us, mostly because the Internet wasn’t pervasive in the time they were looking for jobs.

It wasn’t, IMO, until smart phones came along that being online REALLY took off, though arguably iMac computers really pushed the “tech is trendy” idea out there.

But what if, now hear me out, we make fun of him in whatever way will make him miserable.

I agree but the only thing I plan on doing about it is not having kids myself. I don’t think it’s ethical but it’s also not worth starting shit over. I mean I won’t be leaving behind anyone who have to deal with it, and you can’t change people so why bother.

Experience and anti-depressants.

It’s okay to be personally uncomfortable with whatever; the important part is to not make it anyone else’s problem. Be honest with yourself and just don’t be a dick.

It’s probably better than getting blown up by a drone.

So what, 5 year olds driving them need to go to the slammer?

Oh definitely rad. I grew up in the 80s, I know rad when I see it.

Good to know that scientific debate will thrive in the future.

Well on the plus side it’s not like they’ll ever be able to afford to travel internationally.

Sounds like Florida is pulling ahead of Texas in their race to the bottom.
