    I’m just shocked they went with Alpha. Like, one, that naming convention eventually leads to “Generation Omega” which everyone will assume is the last one. But also they think our civilization is going to survive for the entire Greek alphabet (however many that is, like 20?) number of generations before the end? That’s optimistic.

          My favorite is the old complaints about young people and news papers/novels and how nobody interacts anymore and is only focused on fictional worlds and how it will be the end of civilization
