why do lemmers post memes like its 2010. youre like an unholy mix of boomers and tech-savvies
You just described the average millennial. Who are in their thirties by the way.
And the late Gen-Xers, who, if they were nerds, often were the first to grow up with computers and internet in their lives.
I’m 45, I know plenty people my age who are grandparents.
Me personally, I was always on the bleeding edge of tech, worked in tech all my professional life too, so I’m less affected by this behavior.
But it makes it really hard to keep in touch with people my age online.
I was one of the first to join Facebook and one of the first to abandon it. But I had to make a new Facebook account about 5 years ago because these days my whole family keeps in touch through Facebook and sets up family gatherings through it and Whatsapp and lost the ability to text me that info …
I think that’s the main demographic of Lemmy from what I can gather. There is definitely a cohort of younger people, but most of us are due for colonoscopies
do you really have to be so blunt :D

“Have a nice day.”
“Don’t tell me what to do.”
Or my favorite:
“How’s life?”
“Taking forever!”
Its not a race, dude :D
Then why is it called the human race? We must be in a hurry to get somewhere!
My go to is “Do I have to?”
i legit avoid stores where the staff are notably friendly and talkative. i just want to get the thing i need, not feel obliged to talk and rude if i’m not in the mood [which is unfortunately often, but still a reality]
Yeah, the US especially is bad in that way.
And the fact the niceness is clearly forced and fake doesn’t help.
Yep. Servers in the US already have miserable work lives, and having to put on a smile and fake niceness because your take home pay depends on how much you get in tips is just terrible.
In my experience this mostly happens in the burbs. Once you get into the city no one gives a fuck about who you are and just wants you out of their line
Introverts and misanthropes are not the same thing, kinda sick of people acting like they are.
I’m introvert but I don’t understand
“No, I have not. I do not categorize days in good or not good days. All days are the same shit, but on some days I care a little less.”
