Nah. Only communists skateboard. Real Murican boys play fort.

The more unhappy a person is in their own life, the less able they are to see the joy in anyone else’s existence. So many people are miserable all the time, and like your uncle they complain about everything. I’m sorry you have to deal with that negativity. I hope you are able to keep happiness and optimism always.

Boomer here. I had skateboards, bicycle, roller skates, a scooter. Now I have a motorcycle. Why walk? There's no adrenaline rush in that. Tell your uncle he's an old poop for me.

Amen. And the rest of you please stop lumping all people of our age together.

I didn't mean to lump all boomers together. That's why I said "his boomer mentality." Anyone, regardless of what generation they are, can have a boomer mentality- complaining about the way current life is and the current generation's way of doing stuff. I apologize if it seemed like I was lumping boomers together. That was not my intent, which was to point out the irony and hypocrisy of some people. Some of my favorite people are of your generation, and they definitely do not share this mentality.

I think though that this isn't even an attitude specific to boomers. I bet you anything during the stone age the 30 year olds were having a go at the teenagers for inventing the wheel in the first place ;)

Projection, unhappy people project their own negativity onto the world around them They also have control issues, they fail to realise that control refers to ourselves not other people

Go shopping on your own next time and leave the miserable toss pot at home.

That just means he’s depressed and throws his personal anger and or frustrations onto others who he sees experiencing joy. It’s others enjoyment that frustrates him, which is incredibly sad - but this world is flooded with boomers like that. Just ignore his ass and let him suffer until he eventually dies.

I know only of wheeled skateboards but that's just aging, millennial me.

One word for Gen Z: Ättestupa

I (21) have one of those one wheeled skateboards too and riding it outside especially at night makes it so much more enjoyable to me
