Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway

  Oh, I see, you misunderstood here. I was doing this old school traditional thing called “social graces”, which evidently you’re unaware of. It’s so people can save face, among other things. I was using a tactical social maneuver called “giving you the benefit of the doubt” and “giving you an out”, so that you could make yourself look like less the fool.

  Since you’re clearly uneducated on social graces, you failed to “read the room” and what you posted could be interpreted as insulting most of the people commenting, but was vague enough to be about other people.

  So I gave you the opportunity to explain yourself in a polite way, and now you’ve thrown it back into my face with an insult.

  I had no idea I was talking to the societal equivalent of an angsty slug, but that’s what the benefit of the doubt is for.

  You sad, lonely thing you.
