I am often stunned and disgusted by the ignorant, smug "kids have no attention span" and "they're doing it for attention and sex" and "I'd just cut off their money" bullshit that I often see around here. Even when I disagree with my young relatives, there is no place in the discussion for that kind of ridiculous disrespectful dismissal.
Hold onto your hats, fellow geezers, because we're in the twilight. These "kids" are the ones who will be running things now. So you might as well take them seriously.
I guess you do calcify as you get older. We see it here in that ill-informed closed-mindedness toward those younger generations.
And PS: Of all the problems we are facing right now, tiktok isn't at the top of the list.
Glad your voice is here!
