Pretty much all those Karen compilations are Gen X-aged people, who should fucking know better but clearly don't. Millennials are on watch too, but we don't have enough wealth to be as shitty. Zoomers are going to save us all.

    Don't worry about it, they use their phones for everything. The computer is used because my stubborn grandpa refuses to retire at over age 80 and keeps taking odd jobs in the industry he used to work in. As much as I tell him it's time to retire, he refuses and keeps finding something else to do, almost out of spite. Appreciate the kindness though

        I wish I could but it's the way they keep in touch with distant family and friends. I did block the s*n news website after I saw that's all they would read. Now they literally watch CNN, BBC, and sky news for 8+ hours a day. So glad fox is not in my country, they'd probably believe covid was fake if it was available. They're still sane in that aspect, not into any of the online conspiracy theories.

          I'm pretty lucky that my family has shied away from that, but I have in laws who do

            Yeah the covid truthers are something else. I had one of my university friends try pull that shit and after some private shaming and telling them that believing stuff like this is killing people and delaying my own healthcare and causing me to suffer they cut it out. They now barely leave the house and wear masks everywhere, I think I really scared them.
