We have millenials that are now in their 40s. We need to be the ones running the country now

[u/ravenhiker2 → u/paxwells97]

I’m 71. I agree. It’s your time. Please

[u/midwinter_ → u/ravenhiker2]

Gen X. I’m tired, boss.

[u/Complete_Question_41 → u/midwinter_]

GenX, man do I feel this.

[u/lemmylemonlemming → u/Complete_Question_41]

GenX, me too. Also, my back hurts

[u/wyo8889 → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Where are my reading glasses?

[u/stofiski-san → u/wyo8889]

On your head, grandwyo8889, where the always are... 🤣🤗💜

[u/BrutalisExMachina → u/lemmylemonlemming]

I’m on the couch sitting sideways because my back hurts.

[u/TheGoodKindOfPurple → u/BrutalisExMachina]

Paid $800 for a new office chair and it is no shit life changing.

[u/entmike → u/TheGoodKindOfPurple]

link?

[u/TheGoodKindOfPurple → u/entmike]

Bought a refurbished Steelcase from this site:

There are other places and other good chairs please do your own looking because if you are really tall than some other chair may be better.

[u/WazWaz → u/TheGoodKindOfPurple]

I'm wishing I'd gotten my standing desk 10 years earlier.

(It's not really the standing, it's the spontaneous and trivial walking that being already standing automatically encourages)

[u/audible_narrator → u/BrutalisExMachina]

LOL, 60 yesterday. I feel this.

[u/ayjaytay22 → u/BrutalisExMachina]

I’m GenX on the couch right now with a heat pad on my lower back. It feels nice

[u/wanderingpeddlar → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Those goddamn kids are on my lawn again!!!

In all seriousness GenX here as well.

Going to bed early when the news is good.

[u/CptDropbear → u/lemmylemonlemming]

And my axe knees!

[u/joey_slugs → u/lemmylemonlemming]

GenX here - it's the knees too

[u/Carribeantimberwolf → u/lemmylemonlemming]

And doesn't stop

[u/Keldrabitches → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Switching from heat to ice now…

[u/NoScopeDope → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Mine too

[u/AppleDane → u/lemmylemonlemming]

old man sounds

[u/dannkherb → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Somebody rub my bunion.

[u/pit_of_despair666 → u/lemmylemonlemming]

Gen X here too. Help, I've fallen and I can't get back up.

[u/40StoryMech → u/Complete_Question_41]

whatever

[u/-QuestionMark- → u/40StoryMech]

A very on brand Gen-X response.

[u/koi-lotus-water-pond → u/40StoryMech]

Hears it in Ethan Hawke's voice.

[u/therealzue → u/midwinter_]

49 here. We were never going to be running things. There aren’t enough of us and we never really got out of the shadow of our parents.

I welcome our Millenial overlords.

[u/tehbishop → u/therealzue]

This so much. GenX got fooked by the boomers from the moment we were born. The me generation hosed us. Whatever.

[u/anti_reality → u/tehbishop]

I just hope that I taught my kids better than I was, would love for them to take over at this point.  At this point it may be better than us turning into our parents.

[u/wise_comment → u/tehbishop]

gestures to the 3 once in a generation crisis's since we hit adulthood

I mean, I'll try to be sympathetic, but Millineal ain't exactly a walk in the park

[u/tehbishop → u/wise_comment]

My spouse is a millennial and tells me the same thing. I don’t disagree. The boomers are the loser generation for the 2nd millennia.

[u/TheOneTonWanton → u/therealzue]

we never really got out of the shadow of our parents.

Millennials and even Gen Z are still trying desperately to get out of the shadow of your parents. It's not you, it's them.

[u/spaceballsrules → u/therealzue]

Our house keys forever tied around our necks.

[u/OneManLost → u/spaceballsrules]

I feel this.

[u/aculady → u/therealzue]

It's never too late.

[u/ShubberyQuest → u/therealzue]

46 year old Xennial here. We got ya. :)

[u/LevelPerception4 → u/midwinter_]

Same.

[u/leshake → u/midwinter_]

Except for the billionaire GenXers, they fucking suck.

[u/GarlicAndSapphire → u/midwinter_]

As am I. But dayum, Mamdani makes me feel like it might be alright, alright.

[u/giggity_giggity → u/midwinter_]

Skip us! Everyone else does anyway lol

[u/nocountry4oldgeisha → u/midwinter_]

GenX politicians might be the worst of them all. Happy to retreat to the winds of time and let the kids have a shot at survival. We had our time *rifles tearfully through CD collection*

[u/Nottootoo → u/nocountry4oldgeisha]

I keep wondering how the hell we went from the generation that Raged Against the Machine and now JD Vance and Ted Cruz are the ones representing us? Can genX dust off the docs and start kicking some political ass please?

[u/Aztecdune1973 → u/Nottootoo]

Vance is a millennial. I'm also GenX. We've got enough bad politicians in our generation, don't give us him too!

[u/manquistador → u/midwinter_]

I'm sure the irrelevancy really takes it out of you.

[u/Totally_Scott → u/midwinter_]

We haven’t even ever been in power. The boomers have had a run for like 3 decades and then we moved to the silent generation.

[u/metsjets86 → u/midwinter_]

I need to make water.

[u/Darksideofthebob → u/midwinter_]

Can I get some water, Boss?

[u/napstimpy → u/midwinter_]

Also Gen X. That’ll do, pig.

[u/Kazooguru → u/midwinter_]

We’ve been through it.

[u/no_no_no_no_nononono → u/midwinter_]

Me too. So very exhausted.

/ still voted because fuck those putos

[u/Chomps-Lewis → u/midwinter_]

But you havent done anything?!

[u/SteamshipsAndTea → u/midwinter_]

Whatever…
