To my fellow Gen X’ers…
Shhh!
Let someone else deal with the inept on the other end of the phone. Be happy we’re being ignored again.
I was going to complain, but you're damned right.
Silence is golden.
And duct tape is silver
Millenial here:
This is good advice, sage even.
...
EDIT:
I didn't forget the couple of extremely cool and also very knowledgable Gen X mentors/bosses I had, hahah!
I've spent the last decade training Millennials just for that task.
I'll be over here screwing with the K8S cluster if you need me.
You seniors and your K8s I tell you whut
The meh generation
so middle of the road that they are left out of every discussion about generations. Boomers may suck, but at least they’re memorable lol
I for one am happy to be left out of the 'generation war'. It's stupid. In my day blah blah blah- no one cares gramps. Live in the now.
Back in my day we had weed. We still do, but we did back then too.
In my day you would either get trash weed with seeds all in it, or pay out the ass for 'kind buds'. You can get whole Ounces in Michigan right now for what we had to pay for a quarter in the 90s..... damn it, you got me doing it! ;)
I used to get my weed in a big trash bag behind the high school from a guy on a yamaha scooter. It was mostly seeds and stems and you had to smoke a lot to even get high but it was great because it gave you something fun to do with friends. I can't handle the weed people smoke nowadays, one toke sends me straight to the nether realm.

That escalated quickly....
Edit: surprising really, when considering that stoners don't do anything quickly
Well, we do live in different times. Back then, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Gimme five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones
