share stories about our favourite youtubers

Aside from the depression part, this explains why I have no problem relating to my nieces. No sharing stories about youtubers but we do know some the same ones. And I'm very open about anxiety. It's one my favorite topics.

Also, apparently Zoomers really like Harry Potter and are shifting realities to live in Hogwarts for months at a time

For women older than 30: compliment them
If they're men aged 45 or older and are married and complaining about their wives or kids, agree with them and tell them how hard they have it.
If they're women under 30 then just be funny
in fact if you're just funny life is easier

be funny

Millennials
  • Millennials like to feel like they are really destitute & desperate so anything you can do to make them feel degraded goes a long way. They also like brunch


Boomers
  • Their minds have been fried by decades of office work & cable tv, so they are basically only capable of talking about traffic and weather, so engage them on those two topics. Occasionally they will talk about their adult children so it is also important to fake an interest in that. Boomers also love make jokes by describing scenes from old TV shows and expect you to laugh at their 10 minute description, as if they just made a witty zinger


Gen X
  • Basically the same thing as a Boomer but they have probably smoked a joint when they were 17. Making comments about how it's Friday and you can't wait to have a beer after work goes a long way with these people


The Greatest Generation
  • They're pretty much dead but asking them about the shifting racial demographics of the town they live in will bring them back to life for one more racist tirade

Im hesitant with this type of stuff. Cause I know Im getting close to the age where their satire is gonna go over my head and Im gonna be making fun of them for things they're aware of and making fun of us for believing it

Harry Potter is more of a 90s millenial thing. 80s millenials were adults already when it started coming out.

So if youre not 80s then may be youre just a dick.

i'm a 90s kid, born in 87, harry potter was late middle school/early high school. They creeped into some kids, but it seemed more popular with people a few years younger.

Not that any of this invalidates my dickness. I just stand by that the people born in the 80s have little in common with millenials beyond the crippling debt of their 20s from student loans. If myspace was still the popular thing when you were in high school, you aint a millennial, damn the definition.
