In all seriousness, I agree with the message

Reminds me of what a friend would tell me, "We gotta get rid of the "old wise person" stereotype, because some people accumulate stupidity with age, instead of wisdom"

"I'm a really fast learner. Unfortunately, everything I learn is wrong."

Everyone deserves a standard ammount of respect.

Depending on their actions they will either earn more or loose what they have.

I will not respect a person more just because they have managed to stay alive for longer.

I learned that respecting your elders just gets you disrespected without consequence when I was young. Now I just give an acceptable amount unless given reason to stop.

Ooo! I was gonna mention that the general idea of that phrase came from the Boomer's parent's generation then realized it was a link, and there it is, at the bottom! I love looking into where phrases and sayings come from.

Especially those dinosaurs in political office

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago

Wait... dinosaurs like a mating pair of T-rex that somehow survived Chicxulub only to evolve into smaller versions of themselves, retaining the absurdly small hands and killin' fever.

That might explain something...

Also gen-X. And very suspicious.
