We spent 8 seasons watching how everybody south and north of the wall scorned Jon for being a bastard and how even the doubt of the future king being illegitimate (while having the very plausible excuse of looking like his mother) burst a giant war where almost everybody dies and now we are supposed to believe Rhaenyra putting bastards (that don’t even look like her) on the throne has no political repercussions whatsoever?

The Blame Game

It’s laughable to pretend that cultural fragility emerged spontaneously from any given generational cohort when the historical record shows the entire human race has been hypersensitive and dangerously reactionary since it first learned to bang rocks together. The current climate—replete with so-called “woke” social justice zealots, quack-MAGA conspiracy drones, and every other variant of cognitively stunted ideologue—exists not because humanity suddenly became frail, but because an expanding global population and relentless hyper-connectivity have transformed what were once pitifully small, laughable fringes into colossal, self-perpetuating mobs. You have only yourselves to blame for letting technological conveniences and endless content streams embolden the previously voiceless hordes, and for refusing to accept accountability for your own intellectual deficits.

The convenient excuse that some era—take your pick, the South Park-watching ’90s kids or the Family Guy-obsessed early millennials—must have toughened people up is a flaccid, nostalgia-driven delusion. The reality is that everyone has always been a delicate flower when poked in the right spot. The only difference now is the speed and scale at which these hysterical meltdowns are broadcast, archived, weaponized, and looped into infinite cultural feedback. The result: Both left-wing and right-wing “snowflakes” spend their days lobbing digital Molotov cocktails at each other, making sure the inferno of stupidity never burns out.

And if you’re determined to pin this on specific birth cohorts, then let’s not mince words: all generations share the blame. Generation Z and Generation A? A legion of perpetually offended infants who mistake hashtag activism for real achievement. Millennials? Overly sensitive edgelords and spoiled brats, produced by Gen Xers who were too busy sulking in their own post-boomer bitterness to teach resilience, and enabled by the indulgent older generations who pretended that showering them with worthless praise and passing them smartphones would somehow offset the Boomer-made crises scalding the planet. Boomers themselves, still clinging to life thanks to modern medicine and an utter refusal to exit the stage gracefully, persist in hoarding resources, vomit forth their antiquated value systems, and do their utmost to ensure that every ensuing generation is saddled with debt, polluted air, and an economic landscape as barren as their moral imagination.

None of these generational tribes is innocent. The global human population, expanded and interlinked like never before, continues to ignore science, deride empirical evidence, trash the environment, and generally behave like a lemming colony sprinting toward the nearest cliff. Meanwhile, reproductive habits remain locked in some medieval pattern of “breed first, think never,” further straining resources and exacerbating divisions. In short, everyone shoulders a portion of the blame—no generation or ideology gets to hide behind a tired historical reference or a cherished TV show. It’s time to own up to this grotesque collective failure instead of flinging blame and shrieking in self-righteous indignation.

VENT: Millennials and Gen Z Need to Stop Being So “Introverted”, Especially Americans

The one thing I dislike about Millennials and Gen Z is that they act like they’re so damn shy like everyone is gonna hurt them or whatever😑 Especially the adults. You’re an ADULT now. You can overcome.

You can deal with people and you should. I can’t even have a fun dinner or cocktail party because you Millennials “hate people” even though a party will have my friends who are truly good people who I painstakingly choose. You have to work with people and people can be fun if you would just stop being so into yourself and your mental problems and your “introvertedness”. We all have mental problems. How are an entire two generations TRUE “introverts”? The internet isn’t an excuse. We are hard wired to need other people to survive, being a hermit isn’t normal. “Oh but I’m an introvert. I need my safe space. I hate people.” That isn’t normal. Get help where you can

I just passed a Gen Z adult in a hallway and she wouldn’t even move until I was right up on her and said “excuse me” and she move *six inches* for me to SQUEEZE by and she didn’t even look at me besides a quick eye glance. Even in Japan someone would be more accommodating and they usually hardly interact with strangers! Jfc

I’m an ambivert with ADHD, PMDD, depression, anxiety, been betrayed by several friends, have been in several bad relationships, have had bad family experiences, have been harassed, bullied, have chronic fatigue syndrome, have been sexually assaulted and harassed, have been careerless for nearly a decade, had professors treat me poorly in university, etc. so I get it! I’ve been there, but life is fun when you share it with many others.

I just am sick and tired of my own damn generation being so boring and defensive and being bad friends all the time! I look at my parents having fun mature parties with friends all these decades only wishing I could do that, but I can’t. I see them going on group outings and trips with friends and I can’t do that either. I also want to make better friends but no one wants that because they’re all too defensive about their “private lives”. Millennials are so damn flaky and boring and self-centered (as in they think a lot about themselves and what’s going on with themselves) and I’m getting so so tired of it.

Young Gen X still has kids, so they’re not easy to hang out with and anyone older than that is like my parents’ age which, rn is still weird to me tbh…

Millennials are also so flaky too. If you don’t keep them on the line, they just go away or they tell you they’re just too tired or busy or whatever. They make poor friends because they’re not there when you need actual help with something because it’s “too much” for their fragile being with their “mental problems” or they can’t trust people because they’re “jaded”.

Like jfc it’s a CYCLE. If you are an introverted selfish person, that’s the kind of people you’ll be around too because they learned it from those around them. If you learn to be better, then people end up becoming better.

Just. Please. Grow. Up. Get. Help. Be. A. Real. Friend. Be. Better.

Do you realize you’re BLOCKING out people who can UNDERSTAND YOU?

Inb4 all the excuses of mental health or being betrayed all the time or being jaded or being really and truly introverted.

Growing up as a millennial being told not to believe everything on TV... then getting older (I'm 26 now) and telling my Gen X loved ones not to believe everything they see online and telling my Boomer relatives not to believe everything they read in the establishment newspapers 🙏

I am HOLDING this family together fml

Fiuh.

Entahlah apa yang bisa menenangkanku.

Entahlah apa yang bisa melegakanku.

Tangis. Kecewa. Marah. Semua sudah aku rasakan. Bahkan berulang kali aku melangkahkan kaki dengan keyakinan, masih saja hal itu yang kurasa.

Tuhan, aku tahu perjalanan ini tak akan mudah, banyak badai, banyak tantangan yang harus kulewati. Banyak air mata dan akan ada harga yang harus dibayar untuk ini semua.

Mudahkan segala jalanku, Tuhan. Lancarkanlah segalanya.

Semoga semua baik-baik saja. Berikan aku ketenangan ya, Tuhan.

Amin.

(for horikawa) how do you feel about kanesan's poetry?

@nxmelessfighter

"How do you feel about ______?"

"I think they're pretty interesting! Unconventional sometimes, but I feel it's a bit refreshing to do something just a little different."

"He did try to attempt something close to what Kasen-san often shows him, but Kanesan keeps saying it doesn't feel...right to him. Half the time I just put it down as them being from different generations hence the difference in poetry style..."

The Ultimate Generation Showdown: Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z – Who’s Really Got It Figured Out?

📢 Attention all music lovers! 🎸🎤 If you’ve ever argued about what the real best generation of music is, or if you’ve secretly belted out a Nickelback song with zero regrets, this one’s for you! 😎🔥

Alright, sit back and crack open a Tab (if you’re still lucky enough to find one), because we’re about to dive into the most heated, most ridiculous debate of all time: Which generation has it the worst? Spoiler alert: it’s definitely not Gen X. But don’t worry, I’ll give the others their due. Let’s take a hilarious, slightly bitter, but ultimately loving look at the quirks, failings, and…

Looking back, as an elder millennial- we really don’t have a clue how grown we aren’t until time has passed and we are, in fact, grown.

I can easily distinguish when the person that I am talking to is in their late teens, early 20s, late 20s, or early 30s and so on because I recognize what they are working with. I can now also determine whether you’re a “mature-for-their age” aka “seen some shit” (i fell into this category) or a relatively sheltered individual within those ranges.

All of this is to say that you should never feel pressured to seem older or wiser than you are. The older folks who are paying attention know your general vintage already, regardless of any attempts to manipulate this perception, and if they aren’t assholes, they will still treat you with the respect that you deserve for simply being there.
