The Silent Generation [ie the one before the Boomers]:

(people crying about diversity even in 1943.  NINETEEN FOURTY-THREE!!!!)

 

And the Greatest Generation?  Bunch of Spoiled Rotten Brats:

 

 

(The Socrates quote about kids being spoiled rotten, BTW, is sadly fake but the idea has been around forever, sure)

Quote

ur young men have grown slothful. There is not a single honorable occupation for which they will toil night and day. They sing and dance and grow effeminate and curl their hair and learn womanish tricks of speech; they are as languid as women and deck themselves out with unbecoming ornaments. Without strength, without energy, they add nothing during life to the gifts with which they were born — then they complain of their lot.”
Senaca,Roman Philosopher,  1st  Century AD

Watching The Game Awards on Mute until the words “WORLD PREMIER” flashes on the screen is self care. It really might be worse than The Oscars.

 

EDIT: Al Pacino is here looking old a hell…

Are they allowing winners to ramble on forever? Love Judge and all, but he's been on for 5 minutes plus already.

 

Edit: Hades II, nice

We need to be honest with Disney about The Muppets. Enough already.

 

Also I don’t think XBOX has won a thing?

 

EDIT: some kid just stole the mic at the game awards to thank his “rabbi, bill clinton”?

I… don’t understand the reference.

As Dusk Falls won Games for Impact. That was the only game of theirs that was nominated (but why would they be nominated for much else when they’ve barely published anything this year?)

He had a yeezys shoes or whatever the Kanye West Adidas partnership was called and is a part of the Info Wars. What he said is a reference to Jews rulling the world from the shadows.
