    Wouldn't it be 'FCK' in Quebec?

    OK, this whole blaming a 'Karen' irks the hell out of me. It's played out and very discriminatory to actual Karens that are suddenly having their names dragged through the mud and laughed at. My spouse is named Karen and a successful professional that has to deal with stupid comments every week regarding her name

    Agreed. One of those things that's funny in very small doses, but it's been taken way too far for far too long. The world (the internet) is full of parrots.

    Being a "boomer" in the 2020 sense is about attitude, not age number. We have plenty of boomers and snowflakes here. Since we're very male-heavy there's few or no Karens around.

    I disagree. It's all about age number and if people can't figure out the difference between a boomer and a GenXer then they are clearly a Ken or a Karen or a snowflake. They seem to be the only ones who cant' differentiate.

    It's not quite about age number, as there are definitely those close in age who were raised by old parents that skew older. For about 15 years, my age was somewhere between +5 to +15 years estimated.

    Yeah, but old & grumpy is different than baby boomer. Old & grumpy predates baby boomer, and will survive long past the last member of that generation, assuming we continue to exist as a species.
