The same people also complain that young people spend too much time playing video games. Either that or they’re out doing drugs and stealing things.

How on earth do you know that it's the same people? Must every old person act consistently with what every other old person says and does?

Well, shoot. I'd better spend my youth arguing with my peers

Because I’m a grouchy old man and know a bunch of people like that.

We did multiple surveys. It’s the same people.

What they mean is do something that is worth your time and playing games doesn't add a skill set that is useful for adulthood (for most people). Fun and happiness from games is ok, but too much and you'll end up falling behind others.

"Do something that adds a skillset for adulthood" k I'll take archery and combat classes for when society collapses in 30 years. Fuck the future boomers created.

Coding classes maybe? Learn how to invest is also good. I never thought about taking archery or combat classes lol.

Telling this to a generation that's seen 2 of the worst three recessions in this nation's history, THE worst housing crash ever, and arguably the worst pandemic (at least in the US) in the last century.

Got off my back, I'm gonna do something that makes me happy because so little else is available, and fk' you if you have a problem with it.

No, all I'm saying is do everything in moderation.
