I think every generation has myths it tells about itself. This is why older people are often upset that "Boomer" is now so frequently used a pejorative; it was the generation that famously said never to trust anyone over 30, and now they're the people folks under 30 definitively do not trust.

"Leave if you don't like it" is super funny because I know how racists act when they run out of minorities to oppress -- they turn on each other, or even invent whole new minorities, or engage in never-good-enough purity testing on each other. Their whites-only paradise is pure fantasy.

I see it as a win/win. If they stay and pay, then we get free school lunches, public transit, and infrastructure.
If they leave, then that's one less money-poisoned abhuman weirdo meddling in local politics and spreading gentrification and generally being a magnet for corruption and idiocy.

i just want zoomers to know that computers were actually useful once. before the iphone/ipad/android/chromebook, computers ran software that was just like a program that did what it was supposed to do. also the internet used to have a lot of cool stuff on it that didn't give you an anxiety disorder

Quality of AI generative content aside, I am just SO thoroughly uninterested in things that are not made by people. All my favorite media is the stuff where you can tell that a person made specific decisions while making it. I want to feel a different person's personality present in it
