I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

40 year old is Gen X.

Gotta remember, the zoomers are calling anyone with an adult opinion "boomers".
Internet slang, ya know. There are even millenial boomers and even the few and far between mature zoomers are even called boomers.

22 to 38 or something.
I wonder if we will hear less whinging over time as more and more of them get jobs.

"boomer" and "wisdom" lmao. Boomers are some of the least informed people on the planet and share fake news at an alarming rate.
