    Yeah, this would probably be something Ema Skye reblogged on her Tumblr (dedicated to Gavinners hate posts).

    (Please, there has to be SOME Ace Attorney fans on Lemmy, right? 🥲)

      *puts hand up*

      But only the OT.

      But enough of a fan that I spent 11 years studying Japanese to translate the Dreamaga fanbook. And nowadays, you could just put it through google translate 😭😭😭

    And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.

    We all feel like we understand the passage of time until we hit middle age.

      Probably why they’re so depressed.

      But yeah, that age gap is way too big, I couldn’t do it.

        Being fair, all they’re missing in comparison of the era between “post 9/11 and pre smartphone” (from my experience) was a lot of snotty teachers saying YOU WON’T ALWAYS HAVE A CALCULATOR WITH YOOOOUUUU

        Eat shit Mrs. Miller, I do and have for the last decade and a half. It doesn’t make me much happier but at least I don’t need to remember how to do long division on paper anymore, and that does make me happy.

        A coworker asked if I could help her cousin and their partner with something as they were moving in just a few blocks from my house. Afterwards we went out for dinner. I was showing them my new fancy foldy phone and the cousin was like "yeah, I really like Android phones over iPhones, I’ve always had iPhones because that’s what my dad always had " and then I realised the three of them had all grown up in the age of smartphones. I had to break it to them that I was fully an adult when the first iPhone came out, and that while it was cool I never saw the need to have a phone that was also an MP3/video player. I had a minidisc player and books.

      This is just autistic munchausen’s. Everyone wants to be special without the effort and we’ve romanticized mental illness.

        There are also other conditions whose symptoms score really high on autism screeners. Certain types of PTSD, for example.

        Kind of like how some people who give up wheat and feel better think they’re gluten intolerant, but it was actually the FODMAPs.

      How do you know anyone’s ages in this post?

      Also, isn’t the joke here that the young person (millennials aren’t young people), finds the older person idiotic?

        Didn’t you see me say that I’m a gen-xer? I’m only thinking of myself. Or, rather, criticizing the world I see, cynically, on the context of “the self” as is my mode. I’m so abstracted that I really don’t care about anyone else.

        BUT I do now realize that this post was actually a Gen Z joke about Millennials, but, you know, whatever.

        I’m too busy being pretentious and self-involved
