My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go. What’s yours?

    If you’re speaking whatever current-gen slang and abbreviating every other word and still use ‘u’ in place of ‘you’, I will automatically think you’re a lowly neanderthal.

    “Whuh up fam? how r u?” The fuck out of here with that shit.

      Yeah, text-speak made sense years ago when the length of text messages was limited and you had to do that to get around it. Nowadays it just makes you look lazy and unintelligent.

        It reminds me of that (fake, I know) experiment with the apes that got sprayed with water cannons if they did the wrong thing. They’re doing something without understanding why they’re doing it, and if they did know why they were doing it and they wouldn’t bother.
