Yes, true, Boomers do complain about being called out for their failures.

Parenting is a responsibility that they largely failed at, and they do not like being held accountable for their failures.

Breakfast soup?

What the heck is Chinese seasoning?

The turnips or the billionaires?

I both love and hate that I understand these references.

Star anise, cinnamon, clove, ginger, msg

Ah I thought it was a wired controller.

Boomers didn't want to cook. Look at the lives they pushed and romanticized: someone else doing all the work, or automated systems doing it in the future. They're the reason why TV dinners were even a lasting thing. Recipes from the 60s through the 90s were abominations of canned foods mixed together and either baked or set in Jell-o. Once they were in charge, processed foods in disposable packaging were everything. Then they get all pissed off about excessive sodium in all the precessed foods killing them.

Their societal flex was being rich enough and having a rich enough society that they didn't cook anything.

Animal Crossing trained me for this contingency.

one day, I'll buy me a nice turnip

Saute them in garlic and butter, and chicken hearts make a great little snack.

I prefer blastin' nips.

In the countryside?

Shoes are edible, you just need to boil them long enough. Rusty nails are a good source of iron. Pet foods are taste-tested by humans. Dumpsters behind restaurants and supermarkets often contain edible foods, be sure to check for raccoons before entering, though. Follow me for more frugal dining ideas.

All of those are much cheaper than turnips top.

And you think their parents were any better? Where does shifting the blame end? How about: We simply do it better.

The point I am making is diagnosing the problem so that it can avoided in the future.

When a giant part of the problem is the inability to be held accountable for causing a problem, identifying that lack of accountability itself as a problem, is vital.

I agree that we should strive to be better, and I think that one of the ways we should all strive to be better is to accept and reflect upon criticism, and to also make ammends for past mistakes; to commit not only to rearing new generations in a better way, but also to improving ourselves within our own lifetimes.

Ah, it's WW2 all over again.

How about "If you're worried about tariffs insist we mandate critical thinking classes throughout highschool and college so people aren't so easily duped by an idiot like Donald Trump".

If you’re already using a slow cooker, just switch to dry beans. They’re so much cheaper than canned beans and the only hassle is solved with a crock pot
