"Be a boomer and pick up your phone, cowards "
https://www.businessinsider.com/pick-up-your-phone-like-boomers-good-for-health-loneliness
This amused me. I'm a boomer, and I don't pick up my phone to many people. My husband, my dad, my niece, maybe. Heck, I don't even have voice mail set up - on purpose. I loathe talking by phone.

99% of the people dissing boomers are the born-yesterdays who don't know what they're talking about in the first place.
@ClaraListensprechen4 That could definitely be! We were the same back when we were that age...

Looks like the 19th century can affirm your observation. Quoth Mark Twain: “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

That rips it. You win the Internet today. 😆
@ClaraListensprechen4 Love me some Aristophanes, who I discovered when I was in my late teens....
@ClaraListensprechen4 I'll go one further: Aristophanes' play The Wasps. LOL.
