You are not a “boomer” if you aren’t in your twenties. You are not irrelevant if you aren’t in your twenties. You don’t go straight from being a kid to being “old”. Stages of life are fluid and vary for each person, and should be savored to the fullest of your means to do so.

Stop letting internet memes about age, height, and general state of being have an actual impact on your mental health. They mean nothing, and don’t benefit you in any material way.

edit 1 part 1: this is the worst comment section I’ve even seen in any Hexbear thread in all my years, except for @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net who is as always the best of us

edit 1 part 2: generationalism is also made up, don’t let people put you into boxes and further don’t put yourself into a box that someone else made up for you

    People hit “old” at different times. Tim Rogers had an anecdote in one of his video reviews where he was talking about his two co-workers at Sony Entertainment Japan that were around the same age - one was cool AF and doing gigs in a jazz fusion band and the other was a boomer.

    I gotta say that having a kid definitely speeds up the aging process a bit. All that extra responsibility tacked on at once is some “weeks where decades happen” shit lol.
