No. Gen X weren’t parents until the internet was more or less in every household already and they aren’t as prone to misinformation as boomers (though certainly not immune).

Ahh didn’t know that. How dumb. Well the first mistake is being part of lemmyworld lol
Because they were the generation teaching the first group of kids growing up with the internet and they were actually very right to tell us that. Their role is unique. The generation matters. There’s your insight.
When HBO dropped Westworld I lost my shit lmao like really? You can’t even keep your own show? Unsubscribed after that.
That’s the beauty of the fediverse - no they don’t!
The tragic irony of boomers is they told all their kids “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” and then failed to internalize the lesson for themselves.
They probably used voice to text
Meh close enough
including a nazi salute
Based TG. Calling it what it is.
Facebook is actually a bit of a mystery at this point. They stopped reporting DAU’s their numbers are so lackluster and they have burned a small nation’s budget on “The Metaverse” with nothing to show. Then they cut jobs, applaud, and stock goes up. A lot of folks are scratching their heads over but Wall Street loves it regardless.
Shit dude this aint my fault lmao I’m not going anywhere need Greenland
Fair US does have “backups.” And yeah there’s Black Sea but that’s why I said “basically”
Too many words, too much to ponder, too few spoons. I appreciate it but I’ll have to circle back on this lol
Appreciate it truly. Not a lot to admire there are a lot of other people doing a lot more than I am, but I am proud of what I do!
I have a lot of queer folks depending on me right now. It’s hard to truly step back. But no one said it’d be easy
Feels all pretty pointless now so thank you, truly. I’m “down but not out” sure, but man am I down right now.
Thank you. I’m not trying to make it about me truly, I’m just so fucking tired
Man I want to pump my fist and say “hell yeah” but it has been a fight for a fucking decade and I just do not see the path forward right now. Right now it feels fucking hopeless and I know that will change but vague notions of unity and fighting back do not carry any water for me right now.
Some of us have put years of work into things that just evaporated two days ago with the stroke of a pen. I’ve been stun grenade-d by the police, been physically grabbed by MAGAts while trying to film interviews as a member of the press, called a race traitor and threatened by neo nazis, been doxxed twice, had my kids threatened, and I’m fucking exhausted. So unless you have something very specific and actionable right this fucking second I can do with minimal effort I just can’t give you any of my mental bandwidth or energy or optimism. I know it will come back, but today? I’m out of spoons.
The oldest gen X were 30 by 1995. The vast majority were not even old enough to be parents. By 2000 the oldest were 35 the youngest 20.
