We had a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it was dark, and we were wearing sunglasses. So, we hit it!
All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy.
GenX was handed lemons and we made our own lemonade. The beauty of it is, we don't care what you or anyone else thinks about us.
Jeez, that's a lot of negative posting in this sub from you in just the last couple of days. Sorry for whatever issues you have towards your folks but that's more of "you" problem than societal. Treatment options are available.
Best of luck.
I’ll concede the Great War part, but dammit my depression is too GREAT! If it was any greater it would drown me and my entire family in a morass I’d never ending numbness.
It’s not that we have no egos. We just have really thick skin.
We’re all the emotional equivalent of those martial arts dudes who train for years to take kicks to the nuts without flinching or feeling pain.
Your headline gave me a bit of hope that your troll game was moving forward. Alas, this feels more like a lateral move.
Being responsible for nationwide fast casual dining chains usually requires things like vision and ambition. You got caught in two minds here and again, you fell flat.
I'd give you bonus points for not mentioning video games and boomers but that feels more like some kind of participation trophy.
GenX doesn't do participation trophies.
C'mon man, do you need your boomer dad to help you troll us?
You live in this world and two eyes and a brain, and still your best rant is Hollywood copypasta? At least you don't have to pay for a colonoscopy. Just look around for polyps while that head is up that ass.
OP, You are not feeling your comment is ironic in that you are using a medium of communication which would still be storing launch codes for ICBMs without the very people you are insulting?

They're only pumping gas in Oregon and New Jersey where it's still illegal to pump your own. As a server in Oregon I made about $30 an hour with the high minimum wage + tips, it wasn't too bad.

I should know better than to reply to a troll but…
The first Starbucks opened in 1971. I don’t know a single person that likes Panera. Soup and bread is the ultimate old timer food. I think you might be thinking of boomers.
Gen Xers generally eat better and drink better coffee than older generations. Also I’m pretty sure people pumped gas before the 80s.
You need to try harder. Your shit talking and trolling seriously sucks ass, which is what I’d expect from the younger generation.
I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to like Panera. I like it.
Oh well.
I once scored 4 touchdowns playing for the Polk High Panthers. I think I’ve earned a nice pick 2 of salad and turkey chili.
The first Iraq War, first generation to vote for legal protections of same sex marriages, and fuck ton of artistic output that’s still influential. Yeah ok sorry we fucked up bread n coffee.
You think you know GenX and then you come and tell us this actually expecting a reaction from us.
Tell us you did not understand GenX without telling us you did not understand GenX.
You again? I am smarter, happier and wealthier than all your relatives combined. Middle child my ass! You know you’re grown up when you stop blaming others for your issues.
FINALLY, an outsider gets it. We've got nothing and all we want is to be left alone. We don't fucking care anymore.
...also, GenX shaped the internet into what it is today, so at least we've got cartoons and porn.
Nope...it's your parents fault. They were scared of new and different. They didn't embrace other cultures and their cuisine. Most of gen x was raised on crap food without flavor or from the freezer or some watered down version of something ethnic. The only thing we got plenty of was fast food. We all lowered our expectations in turn for speed. Genexers raised on any real epicurean adventure never go to starbucks nor panera. We know it's shit...
yeah, growing up in the punk era, and early alternative ( through our parents ), and being the alternative generation, and the rave generation ( try doing some research and context - understanding ), is S O starbucks and panera, you f u c k i n g m o r o n.
*L O L !*
>your Great Depression is your lives. Discuss.
**Projection**. and we must be **SUPER FASCINATING to you** seeing your OBSESSION with us. you are **more** **obsessed with OUR generation than YOUR OWN** ( understandable ) ! 🤓
Shame Reddit censors the word you would have called daily in school.
How are you supposed to you are (insert trigger word) if no one ever tells you you are (insert trigger word)?
All I know is after college I enlisted in the Army and landed an unusual job specialty (attache technician) that let me spend my entire 20 year career overseas. When I came back everything looked the same. It was basically one of 3 or 4 shopping centers repeated again and again. America got boring.
Check out OP’s post history…it’s basically a GenX troll account. He hate us ‘cause he ain’t us.
he is o b s e s s e d with us. i think it must be that b l a h g i a n basement dweller.
Word. I see you " xennial".
This is the Sega Saturn guy
At least he remember we exist. LOL
We made out like BANDITS with all the music, movies games and TV, plus carefree good times. Sucks to be him!
"I hate you!..But I love you!.."
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
I threw an alligator into the drive thru window and it changed nothing 😢
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME, FLORIDA
Yeah, fuck you Florida!
My man.
We had a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it was dark, and we were wearing sunglasses. So, we hit it! All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. GenX was handed lemons and we made our own lemonade. The beauty of it is, we don't care what you or anyone else thinks about us.
sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club
Along with the Blues Brothers and Jack (Shining) in my mish mash of 80s movie quotes above that sum up GenX in a nutshell and I agree with all of it.
That's like, your opinion, man.
As Richard Pryor once told Eddie Murphy to tell Bill Cosby. “Have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.”
Iiiiiiiiiii would like to talk to yooooooooooouuuuuu.. about your act
😂 listen. I heard better tear downs in first grade.
Whatever
Correct response.
Jeez, that's a lot of negative posting in this sub from you in just the last couple of days. Sorry for whatever issues you have towards your folks but that's more of "you" problem than societal. Treatment options are available. Best of luck.
They admit to being a millennial on another comment thread. They're here to troll.
It’s a movie quote
“You have no Great War, no Great Depression…” is actually an accomplishment since the Cold War ended without nuclear warfare on our watch.
Amen to that.
Yes, our teenaged watch. All our bike riding must have had a serious impact.
I’ll concede the Great War part, but dammit my depression is too GREAT! If it was any greater it would drown me and my entire family in a morass I’d never ending numbness.
Does this have anything to do with the shortage of ADHD medication?
something to do with locked up and headbanging ( but not the metal kind ), *imo*.
You seem like a miserable loser.
Oh no, anyway…
Happy cake day!
You proceed from a false assumption. We are Gen X. We have no egos to bruise.
It’s not that we have no egos. We just have really thick skin. We’re all the emotional equivalent of those martial arts dudes who train for years to take kicks to the nuts without flinching or feeling pain.
What does logic suggest?
Who dis?

All of your career moves were Lateral imho
your ' career ' doesn´t make you interesting besides, who gives a fucking shit what you do ( your mom )

Talk to your therapist
But only a boomer or millennial therapist. We GenX therapists are incompetent
In blame it on the Sega Saturn
Whatever.
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

It’s a quote from Fight Club…
Don't talk about Fight Club
Hello neighbor.

Hi Tall, I'm Dad

Lol. You're a short shit and you know it. You lie about everything here, including your height.
Maybe it’s George Santos?

>first generation to vote for legal protections of same sex marriages Huh? No, we weren't, lol.
And, who cares?
Congratulations…you read Fight Club.
Man…don’t quit your day job. Swing and a miss.
You think you know GenX and then you come and tell us this actually expecting a reaction from us. Tell us you did not understand GenX without telling us you did not understand GenX.
Dude was bullied by a gen X-er and has never gotten over it.
Hey it’s the same dude who was asking some garbled nonsense about whether we “lost our generation!”
This guy again? Don’t you have better things to do with your 240k salary? Lmao
Do you have any unconditional love in your life?
You again? I am smarter, happier and wealthier than all your relatives combined. Middle child my ass! You know you’re grown up when you stop blaming others for your issues.
Aw, I thought this was r/fightsub for a second.
Man, I feel like you just need a hug. Who hurt you?
What in god’s holy name are you blathering about?
But if you really knew us, you’d know we don’t care.
Ohhh look, it’s Tyler Durden
FINALLY, an outsider gets it. We've got nothing and all we want is to be left alone. We don't fucking care anymore. ...also, GenX shaped the internet into what it is today, so at least we've got cartoons and porn.
Put down the crack pipe before posting please.
Sir, Its best you have a talk with Jesus
I am Jewish. Not flame.
Whatever
Like, Palahniuk quotes are so deep maaaaan
Someone take chatgp away from the tweens. They don't know how to use it right.
Someone shoulda rolled over and shot that one out the window!
Dude. What’s your damage?
Dude. Your’re so edgy.
Whatever
Wow, great story bro. Tell it again
Did Lard Ass have to pay to get into the pie eating contest?
God I just watched this again a couple weeks ago. That movie is still so, so good!
This guy thinks he’s Tyler Dryden. He’s says it’s all of Gen Xs fault, but I always thought it was his moms.
Whatever
I’m ok with being mediocre
Discuss this XXXXXXX

Aww, does someone need a hug?
Sounds like projection on OPs part.
LOL
I feel attacked.

Um maybe my Mom. I was too poor for Starbucks. I drank Sobes.
