[monkeynutts]

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It is sometimes right.

[rockrewls]

How to be on your cell phone and walk into a sign post at the same time...

Older women should learn that leggings are not pants.
Going anonymous so I don’t get too much hate replies.

[FadedGrenade]

ahahaha

[UnaKaizen]

i dont see older women wearing leggings, i see younger women.

[Iron_Man]

The only thing I can say about this younger generation is they can teach older people how to maneuver around cell phones and computers if they haven't learned already which most have

[jacquesvol]

When I was 18 I've punched cards to be fed by batches to a mainframe.
I was among the first ones in the company to get internet on my work computer.

[Iron_Man]

Very good you are a person that doesn't need to be teached to run cell phones and get on the internet

[jacquesvol]

When I bought a smartphone, it came without manual. I mastered it easily.

[Iron_Man]

That's outstanding

[LegateLanius]

Learning is a two way street and all generations have things they can learn from one another.

[HansHoth]

our generation is the worst in the history of the world

Good Take

I still believe that the older generation were far more happy.

[FadedGrenade]

I don't know about that but i didn't really mention happiness ( :

[Opinion Owner]

I think most old people would say their generation was far better than today's.

Good Take tho.

[just_tired]

No shit people think their generation is better than other's, doesn't really mean it is.. And older generations being happier.. I don't know, won't believe that without some statistics.

[Opinion Owner]

@just_tired you don't need stats. Just ask and listen to older people.

[just_tired]

How scientific.. I have talked to them and I just don't see it. Just as happy and/or miserable as my generation.

[Opinion Owner]

@just_tired there's science and common sense. Just read the comments from the older user here.

[just_tired]

Older generations have only experienced growing up in their own time. They haven't experienced growing up in our time. They can't make an objective comparison. Like I said, "No shit people think their generation is better than other's, doesn't really mean it is..". They can't judge our happiness, they can only judge their own.

[Opinion Owner]

@just_tired so some/most of them aren't living now?
In fact the older generation are the best judge, because they live through their generation and ours so they have both perspectives.

by the way. I'm not trying to prove anything. It was just my opinion on the Take. Take care and enjoy your day.

[just_tired]

Sure they might have been happier in older times (though I'd still say it's debatable without actual stats/studies), but their perspective is different from ours. How do you know we are unhappier today than older generations were in our age? They can't make that judgement, since they're not us, they're not mind readers. Perhaps (and most likely) in 20 years we think our generation was happier in our time than the 20 years from now generation..

Anyway, have a good day!

[Opinion Owner]

@just_tired k...

[scooogy]

Yeah, I'm fed up with the old values, they're outdated.

[Anonymous]

We are less racist and have more interracial dating

[xXiTacoXx]

Acceptance and awareness is a big one.

[WalterRadio]

You are what they call clueless.

[FadedGrenade]

why? i do notice that you are an older generation. You're clearly the clueless one. This was an extremely short mytake yet you didn't bother to read any of it. congrats

[WalterRadio]

I did read it.

I was 17 for longer than you have been. Furthermore, you have never spent a day over 30.

You don't know what you don't know.

[FadedGrenade]

that answers nothing..

[WalterRadio]

Thanks for illustrating my point.

[FadedGrenade]

ditto

[just_tired]

Clueless about what? You've failed to make a single argument.

[WalterRadio]

@just_tired
Yes, I did. "You don't know what you don't know."

[just_tired]

Neither do you

[WalterRadio]

@just_tired
Actually, I do.

I saw a curve one time that has truth to it. As a person as little experience, he thinks he knows far more than he does, but as he gains experience, he more accurately measures his own knowledge and better judges unknown knowledge.

When you are 40, you'll realize how little you knew now.

[just_tired]

You can't judge an individual person on a curve or an average. You can make predictions, but individual cases are unique. You don't know me, you don't know her and you are not a mind reader. Hence, you don't know what you don't know.

[WalterRadio]

@just_tired
I have been analyzing data for 30 years. How about you?

[just_tired]

What does that have to do with this conversation? You're obviously the one here thinking way too much of yourself :D

[WalterRadio]

@just_tired
You brought up data curves.

[just_tired]

You can see the conversation history... you mentioned it first 😂

[FadedGrenade]

@just_tired lol ignore him

[just_tired]

Yeah.. I guess I should :D

[Personontheinternet]

Interesting take, now I want to see this reversed!

[Jenima]

I find nothing interesting in your take.

I think we can learn from each other equally...

[FadedGrenade]

true

[Anonymous]

Being more open-minded is basically the resolution

[Anonymous]

There is always something to learn.

Stop envying us, make space!
