Speaking of cringe younguns, I got into some care thingy for disabled people, except everyone there is like double my age and then stacks on another 10-20.

Im the cringe youngun now. Using newfangled shit like phones and computers. I geniuely have no idea how to spend this much time with these people, its like talking to an alien, our lifes couldnt possibly be more different. I talked some about how hard it is to get a good job and even then, the good job just barely makes the rounds, and i get tips like, just enter the offices and ask around for one and that im just not working hard enough if im struggling. I told them its super common nowadays to work two or three jobs at once and they stared at me like i just told them the the sky is green.

Rather talk to some late zoomers, at least we got some shared cultural background.

I'm gonna say that I 100000000% understand you. My dad is 50 (!) years older than me and it has made our relationship extremely awkward. Of course for many other reasons, but the age-gap makes it very, very hard. It is pretty much like talking to someone from a different planet, understandably so - I can't imagine the day and age they grew up by and while they were there as we zoomers/millenials grew up, it's very different to already be an adult vs growing up in completely different conditions. The people who tell you to just 'go and hand out your CV' 'just work 2-3 jobs' don't understand how doing neither is possible nor will give you any sense of security. They know close to nothing about the modern ways of processing CVs aka letting programs delete your CV before it's even read, ghost job positions, having to socially whore yourself out on LinkedIn, the list goes on. It USED to be this straightforward, but since they've already secured their shit they can't really imagine what it is like right now because they didn't have to partake in it at any point. Also wtf is your TG/discord, I miss talking with you but I only have you on my steam account which I never log to
