I don’t really care about this nonsense boomer vs millennial talk. There are some terrible zillenials and awesome boomers, it’s very rigid thinking to say they are all bad.
Unproductive way of looking at things

It’s a joke. We all take so much generational shit from boomers a light knock like this is absolutely fair game.
Idk maybe it was a light knock once but now it feels like a trench war based on flawed premise
However I cannot argue it can be fun to shit on iPad kids even it isn’t super fair

If you’re comfortable shitting on kids for wanting to be entertained and parents needing 5 minutes of sanity then yes you can handle this joke
I am super comfortable, chair with massage levels comfortable
No you were just a judgmental person with no kids and a lack of imagination. Not every kid with an iPad is spoiled and/or has parents that offloaded the parenting to a screen.
It is wild how comfortable people are judging parents based off a myriad of assumptions all informed by like 4 seconds of seeing a kid.
Eh I know I would have been quite happy with one if I'd had it as a kid, especially during road trips. Even the Walkman was a boon.
