Old age comes to us all, if we're lucky. For some this is a process that happens quicker than with others, and you see the signs in your attitude towards life as much as you do in your body. Staying in suddenly becomes the pinnacle of the Friday night experience. You finally start caring about concepts like your 401K. Also, perhaps most noticeably of all, you start disapproving of things you wouldn't have given two hoots about before.

It's true, you know you've truly made it into adulthood when you find yourself agreeing with some of the more sensible points that your parents and grandparents made. This is something that has been highlighted in a recent Twitter thread, in which younger people were asked to give their most boomer-adjacent opinions. Honestly, most of them are quite difficult to disagree with. I guess I really am leaving my youth behind me.

    Michelle Moore @curlichel. 6d Replying to @realgirl_fieri I'm so tired of needing a special app for every aspect of modern life. A new app for the kids' school each year, an app to park my car, an app for every store and restaurant, and on and on.

    goldnecklace @goldnecklace2.6d Replying to @realgirl_fieri Kids are on iPads too much. If you're at a restaurant, it makes me sad. If you can't get through a quick target run without a toddler watching a show, that's bad. Kids existed for a billion years without these devices and we have no idea what it will do to their brains.

    Jessica Goeken @Jessica Goeken 6d : Replying to @realgirl_fieri How people think it's weird to talk to strangers. I'll strike up a random conversation with anybody, and it drives my husband nuts. The lost connection is a sad thing. ●

    Dr. Amy Young @amy_prof 6d Replying to @realgirl_fieri 100% on the dog thing. I've had 3 dogs over 22 years. I do not need to grocery shop, eat out, go to a bar with my dog, nor do you need to do so with yours. And your obsession with this behavior is actually enabling your dog's worst impulses for separation anxiety.

    Wes Barton @wesbarton 6d Replying to @realgirl_fieri When a grocery store puts free standing displays in the aisles, why do people insist on stopping their carts opposite them? What's the strategy there, Leonidas? The Persian grocery is three blocks away. And has the narrowest aisles in town.

    Gus Hall & Oates @MattJStannard Follow Replying to @realgirl_fieri Gen-Xers hate boomers harder than any generation after us. But some things from the former epoch that I miss: robust AM radio, hanging out at the mall, more authentic country & western music (qua mainstream not "alt country" which I definitely listen to), & cheap good used cars.

    @Cointelpronoun on... Follow @Terra_Torment Replying to @realgirl_fieri Social media companies should have a customer complaint and support line where you could talk to a person and argue your case about bans.

    Allen Hunter @allen_hunter. 5d Replying to @realgirl_fieri A lot of the automated corporate infrastructure is held together by godawful intranet applications that are a pain to use, consume too much time, and replaced human employees that did the job so much better.

    Arya BUC HE CONSERVATIVE Rachel Cunliffe @RMCunliffe. 1d The internet has become unusable. All the great things about Google in the 00s discovering new things, comparing products, research - feel impossible now. Social media giants ate everything fun. It's sad, because there doesn't seem to be much awareness of what we've lost.

    David @FourNaanJeremy 5d The music in a lot of drinking establishments is TOO LOUD. If you are not a nightclub, or if you are a bar without a dance floor, there is absolutely no reason to have your music at a volume that makes conversation impossible.
