    So I guess it’s just only us Millennials that know how to convert a PDF properly, and we’re just sandwiched in between boomers and gen Z finding the most ridiculous ways to try to accomplish that task.

      Somehow, millennials ended up being the only generation that at least kind of knows how to use computers.

      This is why millenials, despite all else wrong with us, are the best generation. I asked a kid the other day if they knew what a directory was… Crickets.

        What’s fucking wrong * is * that we’re sandwiched between Boomers/GenX and Zoomers. Too young to be able to shove the Cold War brain rotters out of power, too old to convince the Zoomer incels to talk to a girl instead of listening to Andrew Tate.
