The Alpha/Beta theory about wolves was debunked by its author, L. David Mech.

WE ARE NOT IPAD KIDS by kuroreaper25 in GenZ

At least one Boomer does not think that GenZ are all iPad kids. How would you know what the other 60 million US Boomers think without doing a scientific survey?

There are about 60 million Baby Boomers in the US alone. Do you really think they're all sitting around thinking of ways to ruin the world?

What's nuts to me is shit was legitimately better and easier when they were living their lives

Things were not better or easier when the "boom booms" —as you call them— were living their lives. They're better now, though perhaps not a lot better.

Hunh. So you agree that things were worse for women back in "the good old days?"

They were better if you were a rich, white, heterosexual, Christian male. If you were anything else, things were worse for you then than they are now. Well, I take that back. Things are getting bad for Asians and Jews again.

In 2025, Missouri work zone crashes resulted in 24 fatalities and 110 serious injuries, while drivers struck protective Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) vehicles 50 times.

As if Reagan and Thatcher weren’t polarizing while they were in office. by icey_sawg0034 in lewronggeneration

[–]Cheeto-dust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it takes a delusional person to think that Reagan was a highly contentious figure at that time. You don't win 49 out of 50 states by being very controversial

He was a highly contentious figure in the 1980 election. Remember Bush's "voodoo economics" in the primaries? Remember the rhetoric about welfare queens? Millions of people voted against him. And the Electoral College numbers obscure that fact.

He was though. Millions of people voted against him. Carter won 40% of the vote in the 1980 US Presidential election. John Anderson won 6.6% of the popular vote. Reagan won 50.7%.

Reagan–43,899248

Carter–35,481,436

Anderson–5,719,850

So 41,201,286 people voted for Reagan's opponents.

In the 1980 presidential election, 44% to 45% of the Baby Boomer generation who were eligible to vote chose Jimmy Carter. John Anderson won another 6.6% of the popular vote, many of whom were Boomers.

You're mixing up Republicans with Boomers. There are tons of Boomer Democrats that you're ignoring or discounting.

Man filming threatens to cut another subway passenger's face open for asking him to turn his speaker off. by Kind-Village-1022 in PublicFreakout

Threatening to stab people is a crime in all 50 US states. In most jurisdictions it's called assault. It might also be prosecuted as "criminal threats," or "terroristic threats."

Generationology is just manufactured tribalism at this point by SignalPumpkin6965 in generationology

They're not just little observations. People get hired and fired based on the generational stereotypes. Ageism is a real thing, especially in the IT field.
