I got that a while back talking about old video games. "Eww you played DOS games? What a boomer"

No, no that makes me mad. I was learning to navigate the DOS shell to set up Duke Nukem (skills I still use at my job today) while my boomer parents yelled at me to stop wasting my life on the computer and come in the living room to watch another six hours of Bonanza reruns.

That's the difference. Bah, burns me up

I like to think back to when I was a young lad, making fun of old people. The ones who got angry reinforced my naïve perspectives, and the ones who took it in stride with humility taught me to not be so judgemental.

It's hard, but we millennials have to exemplify humility for the younger generations, even though we didn't have many role models ourselves.
