This isn't an issue reasonable people can ignore.  Reasonable people can disagree on how best to solve the problem.  But I am developing a great dislike for those who enable the deniers.

Never could understand the appeal of this sort of meme - unless the meme-makers believe they are immortal, the implication is that the world is basically doomed.

At least the meat isn't crying. That would be disturbing.

Boomers have to feel superior about something. it started during their judgmental hippie face and continued into their smug yuppie stage and is perfected in their grouchy old tool stage.

Yeah, but those memes aren't comparing/contrasting millennials or Gen X or Gen Z to boomers, they're about the Greatest Generation.  And I bet almost none of them are ever posted by someone who is actually part of the Greatest Generation.

Can't really imagine Guarnere making those comments

Greatest Generation people are too classy for that.

Speaking of which my greatest generation Aunt just passed in her 90s. I have three 90+ relatives left. None of them ever had that kind of bombastic sneering arrogance.

Interesting that the folk who are sharing this probably see these things listed without comment as failures where in fact they're victories.

(also odd to blame the generation that can't vote yet)

Maybe the work week thing, but there's nothing wrong with eating meat or having a firm gender identity.

Nor is there anything wrong with crying a little as you eat meat.

This chicken was poorly cooked :weep:
