Why did boomers absolutely melt down over Pokemon GO back in the day?

Why did boomers absolutely melt down over Pokemon GO back in the day?

Trespassing, kidnapping and kids getting hurt for the most part.

For a brief moment we were all living our childhood fantasies even with the wonky parts. It was awesome

It really was that bad? Impressive how never made the news. Nintendo is that powerful I suppose.

Any instances of kids wandering into restricted property were massively outnumbered by how many people genuinely did fun things for their community to celebrate the game, like entire companies being started where you could ride peddle bikes around the city and get a ton of exploration done, hitting dozens of stops along the way. It really was mostly boomer hysteria afraid of media THEY didn’t control having such a grip on people (remember “Pokemon Go to the polls?”), which is why The Pokemon Company has since been usurped by political activists trying to use it for cultural warfare.

That shadman comic where the mexiloli gets raped is the only reason I remember pokemon go

There were some news but it was very minor. Enough to get the boomer hate though since they'll take any excuse to distract from their terrible parenting.

they saw young people enjoying themselves outside

boomers

they hate fun, they hated kids having fun inside their rooms with videogames, now they are on the streets in their facing showing how much fun they are having.

it was all over the news back then. God, I'm just realising that the average Anon Babble user was probably about 8 at that time

didnt ask

This is the work of some polish cuck who has a thing for being against smartphones

He's right but wrong at the same time, zoomers are indeed more retarded thanks to being raised on tiktok but that's people's fault, not technology

Literally the only controversy in my country was that you could catch Wheezings in Auschwitz, specifically in the concentration camp area.

You asked when you made a shit thread albiet

Boomers are attention whores at heart, younger generations not paying attention to them triggers them. Phones and games like Pokémon go meant that Zoomers (and some GenXers) finally had a something to just take out to pay attention to instead of them when they start their incessant ranting and posturing. It is why they seethed about Walkman/portable cassette tapes and CD-Players back in the day too.

It is also why it is insanely easy to actually befriend Boomers if you want to, you literally just sit and listen to their bullshit with full attention once in a while and they will love you by default.

are you guys gonna pokemonGO to the polls next week?

and what do you propose as a solution other than complaining about "people" you dumb retard?

they hated kids having fun inside their rooms with videogames

It's because when videogames started to become common it wasn't a thing to see people stay inside their rooms all day long without socializing or experiencing human connection, it's a new thing from the 21st century and we're just now seeing the effects of that "permanently online" culture, look around you

Doesn't mean it didn't exist back then but it was far far less common, people didn't have a reason to stay inside all day long because they didn't have shit, just 3 TV channels and books, nobody can survive and stay mentally sane like that so they went out and had fun by interacting with other people and having sex.
So when your mommy said you shouldn't stay inside all day long playing videogames she meant "you need to go out, have sex, have friends, have a girlfriend, have fun with actual people"

I'm extremely glad I was living in the literal middle of nowhere/innawoods during the summer Pokemon Go released and missed the whole thing. It seems like a terrible excuse for a Pokemon game.

back in the day

That shit was like 2 years ago zoom zoom

Use technology responsibly, retard, instead of mindlessly consuming chinkslop or normieslop on tiktok for hours which causes severe brainrot

I think it was mediocre.
Ingame purchases, cosmetics, shitty battle system and all tge normies were talking about it as if they played a true Pokémon game. It also let even more shitty casuals flood the series that was already way too infested with casuals before and spawned Pokémon let's go.
But at least much, much better than most mobile slop out there.

I love pokemon creatures!

Pokemon GO

back in the day

AAAAAAAAAA

The one idiot literally walking off a cliff while playing Pokémon Go is the best thing that has come out of this shitty game.
Rest in piss, sucker! KEK!

It was over 8 years ago at this point.

"Pokemon Go to the polls" was 8 years ago. It wasn't even the last election cycle. The world was an entirely different place back in 2016.

bros...
half life 1 was 100 years ago

This is scary.
How do you make time move slow again?

Most zoomers weren't even born when Pokemon Go came out.

Are you retarded

He is right
Everyone below 20 is a zoomer
Everyone above 30 is a boomer
Everyone in between is a milennial

It was the ultimate distillation of why smartphones were a mistake and why we need to get rid of them. Prior to this they had been gradually conditioned to accept increasing mobile telephony, but this time the pot cooked too quickly for the frog.
The smartphone is the ultimate liminal advertising tool and it heavily abstracts away a lot of the more complicated factors involved in using computers.
You can't really strip the issues with the smartphone away from the technology because it stems from trends that are inherent to the rest of the industry.
You probably forgot to redeem the government temporal reimbursement check for Corona. Obviously not everyone could be bothered to go to the government office in person with all the paperwork and an up-to-date passport-grade photo, but now you're just not going to get those 4 years of your life back.

Thanks anon for the advice on making friends with older people owo

what is this image implying? is he in the wrong for not joining in and shooting faggots in the head or something?

you missed by about a decade. millenials are 30-45, zoomers under 30, boomers 50+ though the boomer mindset is as early as 20

It's because when videogames started to become common it wasn't a thing to see people stay inside their rooms all day long without socializing or experiencing human connection, it's a new thing from the 21st century and we're just now seeing the effects of that "permanently online" culture, look around you

I can't look around I never leave my house

back in the day

Nigger

I can tell you're a zoomer because you don't know we had split screen multiplayer. Before that was LAN stuff.

Zoomers are 1996-2012, aka 12-28.
Current children are Gen Alpha, a pretty based name that I'm sure will be perverted as they get older and zoomers (formerly Gen Z) and millennials (formerly Gen Y) start getting angry with them for ruining society.

He's right, but I'm too emotionally retarded to feel anything but irreverence, which makes me too insecure to align with anything even slightly serious or dramatic, so uh, at the same time he's wrong. Also all social problems are ultimately traceable to people so I'll uselessly blame "people".

Why don't you just say you suck cock and save me the reading?

phone bad

Pokemon satanic

My mother told me I couldn't go anywhere where she couldn't see me unless it was to school, I wasn't allowed to have a girlfriend until I was 18 and sex was forbidden until marriage. She enforced this literally until I moved out the moment I graduated high school.
And she wonders why I became a socially awkward, nearly friendless shut in who still has never had a girlfriend at 30.

your mother sounds like a good mom and cute. it's too bad she birthed faggots like you into the world

No, she has a major anxiety disorder that she refused to treat until she was almost 60 and it caused her to be extremely overprotective of her children.

Because they're at the end of their lives and it upsets them to see the youth enjoying life.
Boomers seem to have a hard time accepting their own mortality.

I AM MAKING MY CHILD TRANS!

Wine addict, we know.

Did previous generations hate the elderly as much as people do now? Or is there something special about boomers that makes them particularly detestable?

I remember some guy in Japan driving a truck isekai'd a mother and child because he was looking at his phone playing Pokemon GO instead of focusing on the road. IIRC that was the biggest kind of problem I was hearing about... Distracted driving went up quite a bit when Pokemon GO came out.

Pokémon go is over 8 fucking years old

how
top fucking kek, I remember the memes

>phone bad

Yes, without a hint of irony

PHONE BAD

BOOK GOOD

AD INFINITUM

It's the same argument throughout the past century where TV was bad, before was newspapper bad, before that was novel bad.
youtube.com/watch?v=15nR7nhFRZE

IIRC there were stories where people bemoaned newspaper readers for throwing up walls of paper between each other. The only constant in this world is the older gen bitching about the younger gen.

boomer

Millenials.

why

Was the closest of making pokémon actually sorta vaguely real, which was enough to bring back every single pokémania millenial who had given up on GameFreak ever doing anything that re-heating the exact same old soup.

Then people realized there was jackshit to actually do with what you caught, that the grind was insane, completing the pokédex beyond the 90% most common species was a pipe dream without cheating, etc.
Then Niantic started making finding pokémon *worse*, and most of the playerbase left because there was nothing to realistically do.
Pokémon GO was a fucking genius idea, and just like the Pokémon IP itself it got wasted on a dogshit-tier studio. Worse part being Nintendo thinking the success of Pokémon GO was in the dumbed-down capture system and not in the "omagad, pkmn in THE REAL WORLD!!§§§" part, which gave us GO Pikachu/Eevee instead of making a proper AR sequel with the same "capture stuff in your backyard / on the way to the wagecage" concept, but with actual pokémon combat and maybe some bullshit nintendog-tier things to do with them outside of combat.

Yes, I'm still mad.

It's the same way when lots of people here getting excited for a game, a small group of retards get mad about it

No, that image was made before any of that shit happened.

Millennials were the ones playing it the most, at least in my area.

Yeah, re-reading OP question I think I misread what he meant.

It's wasn't THAT different desu. If anything, it's gotten better as the tide turned and xoomers aged up.

For the same reason Anon Babble gets mad whenever it sees other people enjoying things

Ages 12-28 count as an entire generation

Why do we continually argue about this when the premise itself is retarded? A kid born in 2007 is MILES different that one born in 1997, but we still group them together. Internet age killed the generational metric but we are still slaves to its pull.

You sound like a faggot who never got attention as a child

Everything pre-covid might as well have been a different century. 2020 was as monumental a year as 2007, or 2001, or 1991, or 1971. It completely changed global society, yet again for the worse.

Time sure is funni

It was the very last time that people were connected by technology in a very healthy manner. It was the preamble to the covid gayfaggotry.

Konnichiwa, dude!

What don't they have a meltdown over?
It's the lead in their brains. They're fucked. And fucked everyone else over too.

Pokemon Go to the polls

Gen alpha is already omega fucked. Their brains were fried by tablets before they were even old enough to speak.
Everything people complain about with zoomers (tech illiterate, brain rot slang, corpo approved tastes) will be amplified 10 fold with gen alpha.

Time didn't skip anon. It's a direct continuation. Xoomers and Alphas were in the lockdown with you, they didn't spring from the ether afterwards. In fact, COVID made them much more conservative as they watched government mandates kill their social lives.

The only value to books is it isnt syphoned or funneled into one of five major websites that google pushes. Of course any schmuck can write a book, its the old fashioned version of reading anyone's twitter blogs, so mame sure yiu trust your authors
Im suprised we havent had much credibility checks demanded of nonfiction books in the decades I've been alive that are known. I suppose because anyone could release a book it'd be as niche as going to every 0 follower soundcloud and checking their music for something

boomers are legit evil and hate fun and joy. it happens to many as they get older, but modern media exacerbates the problem
if you got boomer parents there is a 90%+ chance they're reading some Rupert Murdoch propaganda

It's the lead in their brains.

Also being raised with the "baby are actually just bricks, you don't need to take of them beyond feeding and cleaning" (((doctors))) recommendations.
The pit of despair and other experiments like this were done mostly to prove that fucking no, babies need some fucking hugs and attention if you don't want them to turn into total psychopaths (like a lot of boomers did).

Time didn't skip anon

I never said that, I said it completely changed society for the worse to the point that society post-2020 is completely different from pre-2020. People are isolated, divided, and the entire world has become so dependent on technology you cannot even pay your taxes necessary for continued living in said society without a fucking smartphone anymore. I hate the future, and I also don't forget that everybody I live around hates me for not conforming. I'm cold and bitter in a way I wasn't pre-2020, and I feel it and see it everywhere in everybody else as well.

I'm asexual can I leave out the sex part

My parents were similar.

You're spending too much time cooped up in your room/watching TV/playing videogames

No, you will not go outside

No, you will not have friends over

They basically just wanted me to sit in the living room and read books all day. Now I'm stuck in this weird loop where I constantly want to go out and do all the things I didn't get to do as a kid, but I'm too retarded and nervous to be able to socialize with people.

Boomers got their brains irreversibly fucked and castrated by lead in their cheap gasoline and paints

Zero capability of empathy, extremely prone for "fuck you got mine"

Usher in the Golden age of capitalism and prosperity

Alfies got their brains irreversibly damaged and scrambled by the parents use of babysitting with tablets and content algorithms

Zero capability of empathy, extremely prone to not care about anyone but themselves, will commit home invasions and derail trains for likes

Another Golden age incoming?
Will they be the saviours of market economy?
They are just in time for the cycle, boomers are finally starting to drop like flies.

I think boomers hate when the attention isn't on them and that's really all it is, they're like petty women who will ruin your fun because it doesn't involve her feelings or some shit

I tried all that, and was rejected hard over the years to the point I almost killed myself on multiple occasions. I was either ridiculed, or flat out antagonized for being myself, or trying to be someone else. Nothing worked.
Maybe it was me, maybe it was my choice (or lack of) of friends at the time, but I had to learn to accept that the majority of the world just won't let people like me in, so I have to do my own thing.

pokemon message is consumerism
and its too good at manipulating children

what does this thread even mean when it says boomers? if you mean actual old ass boomers they just hate everything and always have, if you mean millennials then every millennial was playing this garbage too

Boomers had their whole life handed to them on a plate and then ruined everything for everyone else.

That was a zoomer thing.

I also think it's retarded to generalize people and who they are by their "generation," but they are all 15-year spans as that is the point where the youngest zoomer/boomer/millennial can start having kids. This way you don't have zoomer parents with zoomer kids or something. But again, I do think it's retarded to talk about "zoomer opinions" in terms of technology when the range is so broad that some zoomers had VCRs at the age of 5 and others had full-on smartphones

It was visible to them so it intruded into their little boomer MSM 6 o'clock news bubble.

Boomers [real ones not 30 years olds] are so fucking cut off and out of touch it's wild.

Grug actually just angry that Grug no can be small grug forever. Grug no like new thing because new thing remind Grug that time passes.

oogaboogaaa.jpg - 800x450, 41.36K

phone is bad

NO! YOU CAN'T HOLD A SCREEN IN YOUR HANS, AND COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! YOU CAN'T BE PART OF A DISCUSSION! YOU HAVE TO WATCH SPORTS ON TV LIKE A REAL PERSON!

Boomers are literally bigger robots than any of us. They have spent so much of their lives just absorbed in programming, never reaching out to touch their fellow humans. Even ignoring the wives they resent and take for granted.
Their brains are basically shriveled peas at this point. they're just utterly confused, and mad about it. They hate new technology, not because it's inhuman, but because it isn't David Hasslehoff in Knight Rider.

Its only recently started being spammed so much on the internet

10 years ago we didn't rant about boomers and zoomers, you were judged by how retarded your opinions were

10 years ago we didn't rant about boomers and zoomers, you were judged by how retarded your opinions were

Yeah and now we've realized the most abhorrent takes are usually from completely brainrotted boomers or utterly retarded zoomers.

i made this

Well that's because everyone on the internet was a Millennial back then, and it was better for it.

Back then people hated boomers. Today. Boomers are still in charge. So millennials and zoomers continue to hate them.

Milennials are no better btw.

Because they didn't pokemon go the polls

Going outside -> better health -> less med and doc spending -> less debt for med bills -> less work -> more free time -> time to think
Same shit with covid and locking people away from fresh air and exercises

Become a child.

No almost never. Boomers are a special brand of evil. They're the foot soldiers for the Zionist project and as such were totally programmed basically from birth to be Jew loving, family hating, retards.

manchild

When is it going to be gen-x's turn?

GGSAR

Back in the day

It hasn't even been ten years. You have to be 18 to use this website.

people didn't have a reason to stay inside all day long because they didn't have shit, just 3 TV channels and books, nobody can survive and stay mentally sane like that

there are countless accounts of victorian bourgeois teens pissing away their lives reading books by themselves
same with royalty that was too far in the succession line to matter
underachieving shut-ins have always existed and have always been a majority wherever they were allowed to exist

RedLetterMedia used up their time.
Rest of the X have just kept their heads down after they stopped being youth culture.
Boomers really beat them into shape.

this has to be a fucking falseflag
no way anyone is nostalgic for 2014 internet
both millennials and zoomers should know gen x built peak internet and everything since has been a downward spiral

This

X have just been browbeaten into being Mini-Boomers.

Shut the fuck up retard.

very realistic scenario in one of the 2 americans metros

Phone is a tool, like any other. You decide how to use a tool, not the other way around.

I'm honestly tired of all these pretentious animations or drawings about "phone zombies" and how book readers are supposed to be above everyone.

Generational cultural divide is only for poor people.

please tell me upfront that you are nostalgic about 2014 internet so I can point and laugh at you

So deep...

posting phone bad comic

nostalgic for Anon Babble before it became complete dogshit and full of raiders and shitskins

nostalgic for 2014 Youtube

nostalgic for 2014 gaming culture

Yes. All of the above.

It is a falseflag, the internet had based boomers, gen x and millenials, then normies like came along and pushed a generation split

Slop game for goyim.

I'm nostalgic for pre-2019 internet even.

reading articles on phone makes you retarded zombie because phones are bad!

reading cheap harlequin novel with multiple orgies makes you intellectual because books are good!

Logic.

the internet had based boomers, gen x and millenials

Nope, it turns out virtually none of the boomers and Xers were based as demonstrated by how the power they wielded has ended up in the worst times experienced by the Western world since World War 2. Wokeism and the censorship regime is all boomers and X-ers who're abusing power.

The last time the elderly were this reviled was when the Greatest generation stepped down and it came time for boomers to take care of their elderly parents.
Boomers fucking hated it, it cost them money and cut into their party time, so they just dumped them all into cheapest possible homes for the elderly and forgot them there until it came time to pick up their inheritance.

And millennials and zoomers and now some alphas.

Because people playing it were fucking annoying and bothered normal people
Literally the same shit as Rick and Morty fans

>nostalgic for Anon Babble before it became complete dogshit and full of raiders and shitskins

hahahahahah what a fucking year to pick for this

>>>>>nostalgic for youtube

ahahahahahhaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

>nostalgic for 2014 gaming culture

HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The TV was absolutely horrible for humanity. Just look at the average boomer to verify my claims.

I am nostalgic for 2014 gaming culture.

he thinks GG was because of "raiders" or shitskins

Anon, internet access wasn't widespread in shitskin countries back then.

Literally novelty and mindfulness.

There is no way. As the amount of time you've experienced increases, chunks of time that used to be "half your life" become smaller and smaller.

Will this help with 48 hour work weeks that makes time pass like a blur?

GOOD internet was like late 90's, until 2010, man
"Gen X" also isn't a real generation. there's like ten of them.
All of the fun websites like Newgrounds, or Anon Babble were Millennial playgrounds.

Modern gens are defined by their childhood drama, e.g. what broke their innocence (usually when they were school age, but sometimes younger and sometimes in college). For Boomers, it was JFK's assassination (idealistic spoiled brats getting it in the nose for the first time), for Gen X it was Challenger exploding (while a bunch of them were watching it live in-class), for Millennials it was 9/11, for Zoomers it was COVID. If you remember it, and ESPECIALLY if you were in K-12 at the time, that's probably your defining event. E.g., I know a bunch of late 90s babies who don't remember 9/11, and culturally we are way different. Likewise, there's a huge gulf between me and my older cousins who are just a few years older. They remember shit like Poppa Bush and the Soviet Union and Disney sucking, my first memories are of a Democratic president and The Lion King.

Nah, Gen Alpha will be even more retarded than us zoomers, but that's not their fault. Society is just in a degenerative slide at this point thanks to boomers.

I remember seeing some kids with all their phones open walking down my road after midnight looking for pokemon. Never seen anything like that since.

For Boomers, it was JFK's assassination

Except there are technically boomers who were born after that.

Social generations are an entirely useless metric and have been for over 100 years.

I always wonder about people who died before 2020 and think about if they got out at the right time

I mean, I was the prime age to be shaped by 9/11, but that was also the drama of a country that wasn't mine, and I didn't care.

>Usher in the Golden age of capitalism and prosperity

Their parents did. Boomers rode their parents' success and crashed everything.
Boomers weren't adults until the late 60s at the earliest, and weren't in any positions of real power until the 70s and 80s, which is precisely when everything started going downhill all because they wanted le funny movie actor from their childhoods to run the country.

You child of a single mother or smth? lol

1500562112206.gif - 230x270, 60.44K

I consider it the old world at this point. Covid changed everything in a way that made me feel like I'm on another world. 9/11 was probably the last event before it that changed shit up the most in my lifetime, but not like the lockdown.

Less "drama" and more whatever conflict the US was in at the time.
The 9/11 connection is less about 9/11 itself, and more about the obscene surveillance state that became entrenched in the following years.
Same with the Vietnam generation having extremely strong opinions about the US's role in Asia, or the Gulf War generation being extremely cynical about oil & gas and the military industrial complex.

you cannot even pay your taxes necessary for continued living in said society without a fucking smartphone anymore

Developed nations use pay-as-you-earn. No phone or even literacy required.

everybody I live around hates me for not conforming. I'm cold and bitter in a way I wasn't pre-2020, and I feel it and see it everywhere in everybody else as well.

Don't worry, you'll grow out of that eventually.

It was just another instance of boomers not understanding something so they viciously hate it.

The old world was officially before 2013. Remember the mayans predicted everything would change on 12/21/2012 and now we can see they were right. 1913-2012 was the last normal century.

If only. Constant yelling wasn't fun

1913-2012 was the last normal century

It's the only century to have had 2 global conflicts instead of 1 or 0.

Conform with the tribe or die. Those are your options.

Yes. New things put your brain on input overdrive and disrupts "flow" (which people keep pushing as a good thing, but it's actually horrible for learning and makes time seem to fly; it just feels good and sometimes improves performance). Paying attention to things and reflecting on them briefly grounds you in the moment and reduces that sensation of things having passed without you noticing. Journals help a lot with this, especially since you can go through them later and have a better sense of how life was at a given point other than, "Oh yeah I blinked and suddenly it was December."
Nothing ever returns you to the time when you weren't alive 20, 30, 40 years ago, etc. That longevity doesn't define the arc of your life, though. Wise people don't cling to their past; they let cycles end and then let themselves be born anew. In the new cycle, your brain's focus on adjusting to a new way of being can put your perception into overdrive and you will notice time passing slower.
The most extreme version of this is literally torture or some other traumatic even, where 5 minutes can seem like forever. But even something as simple as getting up earlier than you usually do, going to a bunch of places, maybe overnighting someplace unfamiliar before going home, can make a day or two feel like a week. Or, vice versa, stopping to smell the roses if you're on the go constantly in your normal life.
You can't stop death and aging, but what you do during your life absolutely has an affect on how you perceive its passing.

Raging at video game shit (and phone shit) in public
I don't think it was even any kind of "what is the world coming to" sadness at all, just pop culture shit they're not in on bothering them

You can't stop death and aging

Yes you can, you just have to screech at the universe until it bends to your will.

this says a lot about phones

But those two wars paved the way for the American golden age starting in the 50s. The wars themselves were bad of course though.

boomers fucking hate kids having fun outside.
Kid on his bike? Call the cops.
Kid at the park? Call the cops.
Kid walking alone? Call the cops.

They got to experience an unfettered childhood growing up with places to go and suddenly wanted to lock that shit down once they grew up. Why? I honestly have no idea.

those two wars paved the way for the American golden age starting in the 50s

And what a wonderful golden age Pax Americana hath wrought upon this world in the past eight decades.
Thank you, President Truman!
Thank you, NATO!

zoomers are more retarded because they're younger and less experienced.

boomers didn't usher in jack shit
their parents profited off of world war 2 and they inherited a golden age paid for with the blood of Europe

The youngest Boomers were born the year it happened. So, technically, yes, but their first memories would have been in the immediate aftermath. If we want to get nitpicky, say it's "people who remember/were traumatized by the JFK/MLK assassinations jointly"
Yes, this is mostly for Americans.
9/11 = the trauma of that day, specifically + all of the social changes that happened in the immediate aftermath + the capacity to understand that that was not the way things had always been - the capacity to understand that the 90s weren't really normal in and of themselves.

Boomers are faithful servants of Lord Moloch, carrying out His will by destroying everything good in this world.

the relative experience of 5 years is always going to be lessened when you're 50 from when you were 5, there's just no possible way to pretend otherwise no matter how much mystic wonder you feel from looking at a leaf. The perception of time will accelerate until death. If you're 30 you've already lived most of your perceived life even if you're gonna live to 90.

The youngest boomers were born in 1964. Boomers are the only generation that actually exists because it's a statistical measurement of birth rates. There were literally boomers who weren't even born when JFK was assassinated.

PokemonGo to the polls is maybe the funniest thing a political candidate has ever said.

walking on fat stacks of money would actually be difficult as fuck unless they are glued together
bills are so thin, flimsy, and slick that they'd slip from underneath you instantly if you tried to take a step

Depending on who you ask, it ends in 1963 or 1964.

There were literally boomers who weren't even born when JFK was assassinated.

I just said MLK too chill your contrarian zoomer tits dingus.

You're probably too young to remember, but they've been melting down over anything Pokemon-related, anyways. This franchise is a criticism magnet.

I didn't give a shit though.
Covid is harmless. I probably had it 5 times but never noticed.

Doomer all you want, but if we're talking extremes, someone who has retrograde amnesia and can only remember the previous year will always have a longer relative experience of 5 years and even a 5 year old. So, as stated, it's subjective and fluid. I'll give that you have to work a lot harder as an older adult for a year to feel "long".

Didn't give a shit

Very adamantly subscribed to a counter-cultural narrative about it

It vexed you one way or the other, that's the important part.

Not an argument

I didn't take the stupid vaccacine that likely does more damage than the virus itself.
I only vaccacine against lethal diseases that are common where I live.

yoink your post just reminded me of the topic so I wanted to discuss it

You're welcome

Don't worry, you'll grow out of that eventually.

This is why things are shit the indifference of boomer scum

Boomers basically killed civilization for everyone else. They had is better than their kids and grandkids will ever experience and all the old ass corrupt politicians are largely boomers. They pulled up the ladder with Gen X barely hanging on. At no other point in history has a single generation ruined so many things for the next and after.

This picture always make me remember a really old newspaper from the 1900 saying how books makes teens degenerates and keep them in house instead of doing hard work

pokemonGO to the polls next week?

It's walk tuah the polls now old man

Japanese literally watch television while driving. I have seen this firsthand. Frankly with how law abiding and public safety concerned they are as a society, it blew me away. It also explains how absolutely bipolar they are on the road: 10 below the limit or kamikaze pilot, no in between
I'm still mad too anon. I almost came back to pokemon until I realized how truly awful battling and gyms were. No strats, no learning curve

Daily reminder that Ford v. Dodge Brothers and Citizens United are the two sole reasons that America is going to crater within the next few decades.
We've gone from a global icon to a cancerous wasteland of unsustainable greed. (((shareholders))) and their consequences will doom this country, and maybe even the world at large.

Things are shit because faggots like you insist they're shit and that everyone/everything is terrible and things will never get better.
And then you get pissy when someone points out that that's not a normal way of thinking.

just ignore problem

Again boomer/faggot mindset it all makes sense

why didn't the CIA make my spyware more fun?

Because you were always going to download it no matter what.

yeah but the line went up that's all that matters

In addition to being a retarded faggot, you also have poor reading comprehension.
Pick a struggle. Or seek professional help.

that bomberman one

kek wtf, looks like a Anon Babble edit.

Boomer subhuman seething

Why? I honestly have no idea.

Because they are the "fuck you got mine" generation. Everything they do is the equivalent of closing the door behind them. It's literally engrained into their souls, assuming they ever had one.

Watching my friends in their early 20s all meet up to drive around downtown to catch Pokémon after work was the most cringe I’ve ever experienced
I knew at that point it was time to cut some faggots out of my life

Man no wonder you ended up a bitter loser posting here

Boomers are faithful servants of Lord Murdoch, carrying out His will by destroying everything good in this world.

FTFY

Careful anon, Fox News/WSJ/NY Post being a Nazi propaganda mill is a pill this site isn't ready to swallow yet.

Enough video-games for today.

Ok, I gonna go out then.

Out of my line of sight you're not.

What I'm supposed to do then?

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with being bored. Now I gonna go stay on the sofa and watch TV all day.

The lead poisoning really did a number on the boomers.

Dude, get a grip.
If you own a phone, you're in the glowie zone.
Everything already spies on you, ordering stuff off amazon spies on you, using a debit card spies on you, literally just walking in public spies on you.
One more stupid app makes zero difference. You fucking imbecile. Paranoia used to mean something.

You must learn how shitty the world is, stop playing your pokemans

He will walk headfirst into a bullet that wasn't even directed at him. It's funny.

The Niantic founder is literally a spook.
Yes, anyone in the Western world can be spied on. But under normal circumstances they'd have to actually put in some effort to track your movement history or get your phone's data, getting people to willingly give it directly in exchange to look at pictures of Pokemon is easier.

They did not? They swarmed it like they did to Facebook.

I was a hikki back then so i just went to different corners of my house hoping the gps area would be different enough so i can find new pokemons

Zoomers and millennials are no different. They had a metldown over fucking skibidi toilet.

leftists can't make good art

They can, but very few are actually useful. Boomers just don't actually read, so they never knew there are books claiming you'll gain 5 inches if you eat dog shit.

Ok boomer.

make a fart huffing lone voice of reason short

while clearly trying to farm social media brownie points with it

JFK

Challenger

9/11

Only if you were american. COVID was worldwide.

that guy who got knocked out and robbed on live stream by a nigger while looking for Pokemon at night in NYC

That one's a classic. I still see it from time to time in ylyl threads.

Other anon is right, niantic is an offshoot of keyhole, who developed the satellites for military drone targeting systems that were first used to bomb the middle East. No, i don't want to give spooks data and understanding of how to guide people around geography. The "oooh you're already being spied on!" is a dumb take. Imagine having zero thought about the media you consume and the implications of what that consumption means. You're a fucking retard.

It was worth it for work from home. I hope we get another pandemic soon.

I didn't know my parents made up one fifth of all of gen X. That's pretty crazy dog

Lord Moloch is the only god and this world belongs to Him.

The sooner you accept that, the better.

Konichiwa dude!

He's happier than everyone else.

We have discussions of Ancient Greeks complaining that *writing itself* becoming more common was ruining the newer generations as they relied too much on books instead of taking pride in memorizing every single thing.
Pretty sure that shit is as old as getting down the tree.

but believing that newer or next generations of humans will be always or mostly smarter or better than the previews one is not correct.
And in fact despite the advancement in science many academics results of zoomers world wide show poorer results compared to its predecessors. For how that a tendency will remain that way, is something for the future.

Blaming the tool and not the parent is moronic. A smartphone is not inherently an evil object.

Zoomers' main problem is getting absolutely dogshit education in schools, mostly because everything has been utterly dumbed down trying to make sure even the non-humans can reach the finish line.
