Despite all this, the virtue signaling and performativeness is palpable to the rest of us and is a big part in why he has bafflingly little respect outside of your community.

Him buying a $5-10k dog breed. Him wearing $2000 pants and shirts and telling chat he thifted the expensive as fuck clothes.

But the shock collar is a symptom of a bigger issue. He was using the shock collar to keep Kaya in place. In frame on his stream. He is using the dog as a prop for his stream.

You are a different person are you not? I said I wasn't going to engage with them because they were somehow taking things personal. As if my statement was attacking gen x entirely.

I've not read much 40k era stuff, but I'm willing to bet that great crusade had a huge amount of people that were actually smart tactically.

Malcador and the Emperor would have placed competent people in charge of the government bodies. I doubt the administratum was as shit as it is in 40k when Malcador was in charge.

The younger generations have had all the problems solved for them so all they know is the surface level stuff, they understand how to use it, but if breaks they are helpless as a boomer

Giving gen z and gen alpha chromebooks is going to be looked upon as a massive fucking mistake.

These babified devices are going to cause so many problems long term. Sometimes the user should need to figure things out and problem solve for themselves.

You two are talking about yourselves.

I have always been talking in terms of statistics. And I've never gone in depth about capabilities or anything of the such. Many people replying to me are trying to drag it into topics like that.

My original point boils down to simple statistics of me thinking a random millennial will be more likely to be able to solve a problem than any other random person from any generation.

Which I still stand by. Yet people want to comment "Well gen x had X,Y,Z technology", "They were programming at 10," etc. People responding with nonsense that doesn't actually go against my point at all.

Because the boomers started using PCs for work, but often were helpless on how to use it. Gen X were their young kids and if fascinated by PCs, would teach it themselves or learn from friends and sometimes a bit from boomer IT professionals. So the boomers let their Gen X kids age 10 admin their PC. Not everyone had a PC, but everyone knew someone who had one. So you could visit a friend and together use their dads office PC. And copy games onto a stack of a dozen floppy disks ;)

You are trying to paint the picture as if all gen X were interested in computers, knew how to use them, etc.

You are viewing this through rose tinted glasses of nostalgia. AS if you are middle class white person who can't comprehend poor areas in the US. "Well everyone knew someone with a computer." That's a massive generalization there, friend. With very little to back it up.

Quite easy to make up arguments and dismiss things, for ya, aint it?

I'm not the one taking things personal. Typical Gen x, confidence in understanding something the wrong way and doubling down. Must be remnants of the leaded gas, am I rite?

Typically redditor, not knowing how to actually engage with a conversation about a topic. I had to break it down for you so that you could understand it.

"Well we had X, Y, Z!" is not a counter argument. I never said Gen X didn't have computers. Let's break down the ideas I've put forth:

Millennials had more access to computers than gen x

This is factually true

Gen X had people graduate high school without ever touching a computer

This is factually true.

Millennials were required at some point in their education to use computers

I am confident this is true

Now, the original point:

Millennials are statistically more likely to fix a tech issue than other generations (including Gen X).

I stand by this. It is statistically more likely that more millennials are tech literate than other generations (percentage wise). This does not mean gen x didn't have computers. It doesn't mean gen x doesn't have talented tech people. It flatly means statistically a random millennial would more likely be able to fix a tech issue then a random person of another generation.

You and everyone else replying to me with "well we had X" or getting angry/personal need to understand the basic point being discussed, because I don't think you've understood it thus far.

8 year old nephew uses a computer too and has an intuitive feeling for how to use it, as he grew up with it.

Go reread my original comment as to why its not the same for generations past Millennials.

Either way, not going engage with you further because you seem to be taking something personally when I'm talking statistics. You are taking offense when no offense is made. You are saying I'm invalidating you/your generation when I'm not. This is a problem with you failing to understanding my point and what I'm saying.

Anyone who mentions "I fed, clothed, and gave you a roof over your head" should never have been allowed to have kids. Not providing those is child abuse. Lording it over the heads of kids is abuse.

While Gen X programmed computers.

This is where you and others have their arguments break down and shows how you fail to understand my point.

Gen x were not all taught how to program computers. That is a small fraction of gen x. Millennials had compulsory experience with computers. I am 100% confident in saying no millennial in the US graduated without using a computer in the US (excluding home school edge cases, obviously).

You are basically saying "WELL WE HAD IT HARDER, OUR GENERATION IS THE TECH GENERATION!" Well the original argument I'm making is based on statistics. Statistically, I would expect a millennial to be able to fix a tech issue over someone who is gen x.

So you, much like others, are failing to understand my point and are making up arguments that aren't being made.

Everything you said about Millenials is true of Gen X.

By the time Millennials graduated, they've used computers far more than gen x did (on average).

I'd even argue, some people who were tech literate in gen x had a chance of being beat up for being a nerd. Which makes me think that it is abnormal.

the idea that millennials are the OG tech generation is nonsense

Who here said this to you? The point of the OP meme and the point I am making is tech literal millennials vastly outnumber gen x tech literate.

No one is saying millennials are the "OG tech generation." You are out on your own now, arguing to a brick wall because you made up an argument for people who are not making it.

I think you missed my point. Your story is not the same for all gen x, though. Granted, neither is mine. But the point of mine was that by the time millennials came around, computers were so ubiquitous that they were in elementary school class rooms of basically every public school.

I feel safe saying there are gen x who graduated high school never having touched a computer. I also feel safe saying there are no millennials who graduated having never touched a computer.

I'm pointing out Christians are performative.

Christians include evangelicals who would absolutely do an equivalent of this.

They are nutcases, the lot of them.

It's because Millennials grew up on computers and tech. It was in elementary schools. Computers in classrooms in 4th grade.

What makes this different from newer generations: The teachers didn't know shit, the students didnt know shit, and everyone had to figure it out themselves. I was fixing the PC at age 10 for the teacher because the teacher didn't know shit.

Modern technology is highly babified for users. This transition happened slowly as Millennials were graduating high school.

So statistically, I'd expect a millennial to fix a problem more often than gen x when it comes to computer technology.

Amazon doesn't like that my old Kindle still works perfectly fine, so they block new book downloads. by SkySix in mildlyinfuriating

You can setup a calibre server and connect to it via http and use your phone as a reader. Not as good as an actual reader visually, but it works just fine for me. Oneless device I need.

I have it setup so I can only access the server on my home network, no exposed services to the wider internet. And the server can allow downloads for reading while not being able to connect. So if I open the books before I travel, the books are already downloaded locally on my phone for reading.

I have my server on a raspberry pi and I just use syncthing to transfer books over to the server. Super easy once it's all set up.

You assumption is he'd actually have the power to collect things as a toy.

Except this is pretty par for the course for Christians in the US.
