Not if they saw the images that pop up with no safesearch filter on.

But we all got kinks so maybe a few.

Bob Iger confirms what most people were theorizing. Core story movies will be on a hiatus until TBA but Disney+ will fill the gaps with exclusive movies and various mini-series.

Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland still isn’t pulling in crowds…we’ll see if the holidays and the 2nd ride opening next year will prove this was a matter of timing.

The funniest thing about the “boomer” meme is that millennials don’t know what a boomer is. My mom’s generation were baby boomers. Milliennials cant even insult people properly. Calling people from Generation X a boomer is hilarious to me.

It was started by Gen Z actually and was used to shut down anyone. They aren’t concerned if you are actually a Boomer or not. Kinda like calling someone a *ag has less to do with calling them gay and more to do with poking at their fears and just getting under their skin.

No, Millennials know what a Boomer is. You confusing them for Gen Z shitheads who also eat tied pods.

Millennials (Gen Y) never go insult Gen X peeps as they know Gen X peeps are in the same boat and got equally screwed by the Baby Boomers. And the last Gen who can honestly tell the Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z “oh in my day we respect our Elders” is the Greatest Gen who all fought WWII and Korea, Boomers were the shit bag dirty hippies of the 60s and 70s.

I just take it as a meme joke phrase about people being old.

Yea exactly. It’s just saying you’re old, out of touch, and don’t know what you are talking about.

I know that but I find the irony in the fact that I’m not a boomer. So that makes me out of touch and not know what they are talking about :wink:

Haha yea I guess so.

Seems to mainly be a response to constantly being blown off as “a young dumb millenial.” Old people have spent years shitting on an entire generation of people for being young and upset they got lied to their entire childhood and delt a raw sewage deal as adults and I guess young people are finally tired of it so they are firing back with the same ammo. Just denouncing old people en mass. I don’t blame em. It’s what old people did to them, on top of doing everything they could to get theirs at the expense of almost everyone around them and even future generations to come.

Don’t really see why young people should have much respect for the older gens that fucked them over willfully.

Amen to that

This is especially true. Age doesn’t demand respect. Occupation doesn’t demand repeat. How you treat me and others earns you respect.

My issue is my (our?) generation grew up with our parents and/or grandparents saying if we don’t have anything nice to say than don’t say it, be kind to others, don’t let people talk down to you, be open minded when it comes to people of different origins, race, sexuality, religion, help people when you can and so on.

But when we actively do all the stuff they taught us they gasp at the idea and call us “snow flakes” and that we’re being “too sensitive” and need to “get over it”. We were told we can make a difference in the world. Now we’re being shamed and ridiculed for trying to do such.

Also being told we’re “entitled” for wanting the same things they had is ridiculous to me.

It’s incredibly frustrating.

I was raised in a very progressive city and my parents at the time were very progressive. Whenever I had questions about race, religion, sexuality, etc. they’d always give me the simplest answer they could and usually that was enough for me.

Idk when, how, why or what triggered it or if they were always the way they are now. But they’re not the parents I grew up with.

I dunno man. My grandfather changed when I became an older teen, and my grandmother died. As a kid it was what you said, be nice, don’t say mean things for no reason, except people as they are, and while most of those values didn’t change, others did. He got more open about racial slurs, would do anything he could to keep his taxes down instead of just paying what he owed, the thing he taught us. He would lie, go behind your back, hide shit. Tell you one thing then tell someone else the opposite. He would tell my mother he really wanted her help, then would tell my Aunt that my mother was smothering him and wouldn’t go away.

The other problem was that he was a professor at the U of A for 30 years so to him collage was the only option and most importantly, he was never ever never wrong…ever. We got in a huge fight about because I didn’t want to go into massive debt going to school. You could explain to this man that collage wasn’t worth the money anymore till you where blue in the face. He’d just say “No youre wrong, you need to go to collage.”

Thats when i stopped listening to him at all. He proved to be extremely out of touch and absolutly unwilling to entertain an idea that wasn’t what he had done.

My whole stance on the millenial thing is that, by in large, the people that bitch about them are the ones that raised them. You raise kids in bubble wrap, give participation trophies, and put them in timeout. Them turning out soft shouldn’t be a surprise. You raised them to be the way they are, the fault is with you.

This is kinda the way my dad was but not really? Outside of his few years in the army he was always in charge of something when it came to his military career. He was always the head of battalion. He trained our military posts MP’s, he was a requisitions officer for 90% of the Troops in Iraq, he was the head of the statistics department at a military school, etc.

He definitely had the “alpha male/my say is absolute” kind of vibe. Which always caused friction between him and my sister & I. More so me than her. But when it came to certain life choices he was surprisingly okay with them. Mainly when I dropped out of school. He knew my mental state was a fucking mess whenever I went to school. And it wasn’t a “oh high school is hard” teenage drama thing. I dealt with a lot of bullshit in Jr high and high school and I just couldn’t deal with it anymore.

My mom was kinda mad at me about dropping out but after we had a real heart-to-heart as of why I dropped out she was okay with it.

I agree 100%. I think its pretty hilarious for the older gens to shit on Millenials, they are your children. You raised them. Just like the economy…this is your fault. You are the ones who wanted to give everyone a trophy for just showing up.

I think what pisses me off the most about Boomers and the like is the absolute refusal to take responsibility for their work. The world we live in today is the result of the choices you made. Now you’re pissed off about the outcome and don’t want to own it? Just pass the buck to your children and make them deal with the fallout of your terrible decisions while mocking them for being upset at the dumpster fire you left them?

Bunch of douchebag man.

Bonkers is a good cop! He does his best!

But also yeah. This. Their lack of accountability and refusing to take any responsibility in what has happened to the world is astonishing

They somehow try to shift the blame that it’s our fault x industry is failing. Naw. It’s not our fault. It’s how your generation shaped the economies fault. We simply can’t afford to support x industry. So we don’t. Simple as that.

Same goes for life choices.
“Are you going to college?”
“No”
“Why?”
“Can’t afford it and I don’t want to be in debt my entire life”

“Are you ever going to buy a house?”
“No”
“Why?”
“Can’t afford it.”

“Are you ever going to buy a car?”
“No”
“Why?”
“Can’t afford it”

“When are you going to start a family”
“No idea. Maybe never”
“Why?”
“Can’t afford it”
