Everyone in this thread is jumping to the conclusion that it's about politics, race, etc.

Meanwhile here's me wishing the office Zoomer would shut up about the way I drink my coffee.

Sounds like you haven't got the skills to disagree.

[–] mightyfoolish 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

According to the OP, zoomer will never talk to you again if you disagree "hard enough."

Just say "Has it ever occurred to you that everyone else drinks coffee wrong? I am the world's best coffee drinker. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have both told me so on Twitter. In fact, Vogue magazine has been trying to schedule me doing a drink out for the last three years. I have denied going on the Joe Rogan Experience twice already out of principles. As you may have surmised, the topic would have been about the proper way to drink coffee. In fact, I know I was drinking coffee, correctly may I add, the exact moment of your conception. I know because that's how great at drinking coffee I am. But thank you for your concern."

Yeah but then you're first on the list when the office needs a scapegoat.

Steve: someone shit in the pinball machine!

Gen Z: I bet that fucking Millenial Nazi did it

Kim, the actual pinball shitter: yep, definitely someone older than us Zoomers
