What things do people of an older generation say against your generation that will even make a pastor say Jesus Christ?

Oh boy, the "back in my day" speeches are truly endless. Honestly, the one that always gets me is when they claim we're obsessed with screens and have zero attention span, as if they didn't spend their entire evenings glued to the television set. It’s hilarious because they’ll literally say this while ignoring my texts for three days, only to complain that my generation is "too disconnected" from reality. Like, pick a struggle, you know?

Then there's that classic gem about how we supposedly don't want to work hard anymore. Every time I hear that, I just have to roll my eyes. They talk about buying a house with a part-time job back in the day, yet they act like we're lazy for struggling to afford basic rent now. It’s wild how they completely ignore the cost of living differences. It's like they think we're choosing to be broke for the fun of it, which is just absurd.

The whole "you're too sensitive" card is another one that makes me want to scream. They act like basic empathy or wanting a healthy work-life balance is some kind of moral failing. It’s like, sorry for not wanting to be burnt out by thirty, but maybe that's actually a good thing? It’s honestly exhausting trying to have a conversation with someone who thinks everything is a sign of societal collapse just because the world isn't exactly how it was forty years ago.
