2- how about in other parts of the world? not a perfect fit in Canada, are these generational terms relevant at all in other countries/regions?
My problem with the video is that none of this ever had much to do with my life, while I thought it was very weird I'd be considered in the same generation as people old enough to be my parents (though my actual partnes were a bit older)! I never 'jonesed' for any other generation's opportunities etc.

1 Any Canadian Generation Jones folks here? Curious about your thoughts on common desciptions (between gens, not quite fitting etc) Watching (probably won't finish) a video about the psychology of the generation between boomers and gen x- those born 1954-65. I was born near the end of that- definitely agree that I never felt part of the boom-- I was born in the Summer of Love, not participating in it. Overall probably more in common with gen x.. -cont-

Vandaag help ik mijn 80-jarige vader met het uitzoeken van een Linux computer. Ik zal hem een beetje helpen met overstappen van Windows. Ja, een Linux computer, want je geeft Linux een eerlijke kans op hardware die goed werkt met het OS. Dat zou je ook doen met Windows of MacOS. Ondertussen zie ik “digital natives” dwepen met hun Macbooks, ouderen grappend uitmakend voor #boomers, terwijl ze vaak niet weten waar hun harde schijf ophoudt en de cloud begint😀.
Als mijn vader het kan… #doeidag

On a roll this morning.

@EricAlper Millennials are unhappy for the reasons you just explained.

Boomers are unhappy because there are four boys in the entire US playing girls sports.

As for GenX, nobody can say that we are unhappy because nobody has ever seen us or paid attention to us.

just got off the phone with dad where he tried to bait me into trashing my oldest brother in his job search. no thanks, dad.

i don't really get along with my oldest brother, but i'm not about to join my dad on trash-talking him.

dad hasn't worked in 15 years and was butthurt that my brother didn't ask him to review his resume.

"but when i worked, people always came to me and asked me to review their resumes!" cool story, dad.

i told him not to take it personally and he said "i never take things personally!"

shortly afterwards he said "well, i've gotta go. goodbye." 🙄

note: when i was job-hunting recently, i didn't send my resume to my dad because he loves to give extremely nitpicky comments as if it's advice from on-high. BUT, my *mom* asked to see my resume, which i thought was weird, and later it turned out that she SECRETLY sent my resume to my dad and then made me read his comments.

my parents: what a jolly pair! and people wonder why i have trouble trusting people!

Thank you for this for being honest that Boomers had it easy post war.

Now all of Canada can endure the #genx life experience, which is basically being ruled by self centred narcissistic #boomers who sellout, propagandize, lie and constantly exaggerate to get everything they ever wanted.

Carney is a dinosaur, soon to be extinct. Sadly, his #neoliberal austerity ideologies and #dirtyoil #pipelines will plague #Canada as well as these pitifully loyal yet ethically shortsighted #Liberals for generations to come.

Liberals will bear this albatross long after Mark Carney has retreated to his comfy billionaire bunker. We will remember the #SouthernOrcas they willfully sacrificed.

Here's another interesting article in the #SFChronicle today.

**A historic transfer of wealth will be centered in the Bay Area. It may not look like you expect**

https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2026/california-bay-area-great-wealth-transfer/?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2ZjaHJvbmljbGUuY29tL3Byb2plY3RzLzIwMjYvY2FsaWZvcm5pYS1iYXktYXJlYS1ncmVhdC13ZWFsdGgtdHJhbnNmZXIv&time=MTc4NjI5NTQ3NDQ1Mg==&rid=ZWU3ODAyMDYtMmZlYS00ODFiLTliMmMtMzUyMGNjZjQ4ZjA1&sharecount=NA==

This article is about the anticipated wealth transfer from Boomers (like me, who currently range in age from 62 to 80) to their family members (&/or to charities) after they die.

I'm generation skipping because my son turned out to be an ungrateful SOB. So, I currently plan to transfer all of my $/assets to my 2 grandchildren but, if they turn out to be ungrateful SOBs too, I'll give it all to charity.

I don't feel like I owe any of them anything & I don't want them to know how much $ they're likely to receive because I don't want that knowleege to affect how they relate & treat me before I die.

All I'd like to get some unsolicited attention & respect from them as their grandfather &, if I get that, they'll get the $. Otherwise not!

We'll see . . .

Gen X teens in 1986 predicted what life would be like today. Here’s what they got right.

@vosje62 Ik weet niet of het echt zo ellendig is dat die twee #boomers (putin en trump) ervoor zorgen dat in hoog tempo alle fossiele infrastructuur opgeblazen cq ontmanteld wordt. Waar ik mij wel zorgen over maak is de hegonomie die rond China ontstaat en straks de wereld in haar greep heeft omdat ze al decennia lang voorsorteert op #eindeFossiel (waarmee ik niet wil zeggen dat zo’n snelle omslag waarbij je ook nog even de hele strategische voorraad er doorheen jaagt, heel makkelijk wordt)

Spoke to my 81 yr old mother today who cursed both the federal and provincial governments on their lack of climate action. She can’t believe we’re building pipelines instead of wind and solar. Folks, even the boomers are coming around! #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #Fires #Carney #DougFord #Boomers #Wind #Solar

Did you ever have one of these in your home?
Today's kids simply don't understand The Struggle.

I remember memorizing all my friends' phone numbers, and when I tried to call a girl, I had to speak to their Dad first because he always answered the phone.

We may soon have 70 million boomers too old to drive, too car-dependent to stop!
As the baby boomer bubble pushes into its eighties, we are driving into a demographic wall.

If you remember using your computer to print something on a dot-matrix printer, and then having to peel off the ratchet-holed edges on EVERY SINGLE PAGE, then you have my utmost respect.
Kids these days have no idea.

@mattblaze 🥥 Now envisioning a scene like the one in the #KirkDouglas movie, "Spartacus," in which -- one after another -- a large group of bare-chested men declare, "I am #MattBlaze"!
Bonus for #Boomers: Cue #GarryMoore saying, "Will the real Matt Blaze please stand up"! 🥥
