      Closest I’ll ever get to being in WW2 was playing Battlefield 1942 as a kid… and… I still can’t make it through Saving Private Ryan without crying.

      I’ve since been through traumatic shit in my own life, become a cynical bastard… but goddamnit, I still have a heart, I still feel the pain of others.

      Of course I am generalizing, there are non shitty boomers… but most of them might as well be aliens in skin suits, I can describe and like academically attempt to understand them… but I am not like them, I cannot put myself into their headspace.
