PSA for everyone with their own talk show

[rubygloomrox]

The difference with kids nowadays and young people and millenials and generation Z and blah blah blah is way too big a topic nowadays. It seems every talk show has to have kids on to make fun of what the younger generation doesn't know. It's pandering to a certain age group, and it's getting a little pathetic.
I don't give a shit if someone who is a

I am so with you on this. So much of what I see on social media is sowing division and I'm not having it. One of my pet peeves is the "I bet I won't get even one share" bullshit. (I will spare you the rant...) I've seen more articles about how GenX has it so hard recently too, and I just don't care. Sure, I get the overall trend, but it does not define me. I'm also on the very front edge of this generation so a lot of what gets discussed doesn't apply to me so much. (Born in 1966.)

I heard from a friend who woke up today to four articles about how women her age (47) are the most depressed & unhappy. There must have been a study released. Any opportunity to keep us fearful and worried, I guess. But fuck that. I'm going to ignore how I'm "supposed to" be unhappy and focus on what makes me happy.

What is the deal with paper napkins? Who cares? Cloth is better anyway, environmentally.

Social media is the worst. I don't think it's just the rednecks in my family or people I went to school with, either. I see a lot of people who I think actually mean well by it. But that's how being subversive works. We're relating and laughing at the division. I don't understand why as a species we only seem to want to unite against "others" or something negative instead of coming together over what we love. We need to start evolving faster.
Four articles? It does sound like one of these half scientific studies from someone who is still struggling with the final throes of toxic old white guy cultlure and doesn't bad news travel fast? I've pretty much always ignored what I'm supposed to be. And media, for the most part. I just am not a fan. Could relationships be better? Sure. I'm not happy with my weight, maybe. But since figuring it out and getting more energy and healthier again, I can honestly say I'm doing better than I ever did. I don't care what the media thinks.
