Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Oh... But I don't think we are, based on what I've seen.

While we do see people falling into being influencers and stuff, things I'm personally disinterested in, I don't really care so long as they're trying to do the right thing by people as well. We got blamed for playing video games instead of buying houses and cars, remember?

Everyone makes mistakes as they live, life is dynamic, it's fine ๐Ÿคท

Right. And I think that we shouldn't do the same to the next generation. And I see an uncomfortable amount of exactly that kind of behavior on social media.

I'm a bit confused by your responses. I'm saying "we should be nicer to gen-z" and then you seem to be saying "NO, we should be nice to gen-z"... So I'm not really sure what you're disagreeing with. Are you saying that we are already being nice enough to them and you disagree that we should be nicer? I don't really understand.

Haha, trying to make both a PSA and a reply to you results in muddied waters.

When properly split, I'm simply saying that I think most people are cool with each other, gen Z is cool to me as a millennial, and let's keep grooving.
