Gen X gave us the Karen. Not a fantastic contribution to society.

Just own it and go on to bigger better careers from here. Calming your triggered tits about others will get you there. Focus on you.

1) that's not what anchoring means
2) you're right though, it wasn't anchored

if you read the thread it's pretty clear what is going on

The only thing worse than a bad joke/shtick is having to explain it to gullible boomers and gen xers.

He has every opportunity to explain the "joke" via Reddit plagiarism. Up to Mr. Millennial now.

Don't let X win! Post the links! Shake fist at old 53 year old!

That's fine. But its pretty obvious that Millennials and Boomers get all the attention, for whatever reasons.

And it obviously drives Gen X up the wall. Because they constantly feel the need to tell everyone how unbothered and quiet they are.

You literally proved it.

The middle child that constantly seeks attention.

You know, like Gen X jumping into a Boomer vs Millennial thread to let everyone know how totally unbothered they are for millionth time.

They said just say no, so we did.

That doesn’t mean that in reality anyone consumed any more or less than others. I remember smoking weed openly in concerts, etc… throughout the 80’s and 90’s without issues. Campus head shops still flourished.

I think when drug testing became widespread and common in the late 80’s and beyond things changed, but even then those who were determined to usually found a way around it. If I recall correctly the push for employee drug testing was a big issue for the Reagan administration.

It always existed on the down low, but these days it’s mainstream due to medical, legalization. I think the passing and absence of the Dragnet generation who thought weed was as bad as heroin and would drive you insane has helped to also.

ETA- The op video is spot on !

We're better at everything.

We are much smarter and much more emotionally stable. Schools didn't have to change school testing because of our generation... And we never needed support animals in college.

I could list a thousand more things
