   @zachleat oh no. I guess like your average soap opera, no one ever gets to be just happy

      @sarajw now I’m realizing the millennial pause is basically that awkward pause before the soap opera fades out, but in reverse

         @zachleat wait what wtf I just had to go look up the millennial pause and the Wikipedia article just totally called out my total cringey millennialness.

         I know I'm pushing 40 but I'm still finding it hard to imagine that there's now a whole generation under me taking the mickey out of us 🫠

               @zachleat ahahah it's all good. I know very well that I have been cringe for a long time. Probably a good thing I'm not perusing tiktok

                  @sarajw @zachleat I found out today that gen z have a word specifically for calling out millennials who try too hard. “Cheugy”

                        @sarajw @zachleat This is the start of a top notch podcast where we all moan about new words.

               @exchgr @zachleat What bothers me is that I like that bit of space before people start talking - but then I'm an elder Millennial who avoids tiktok on purpose ahaha

                  @sarajw @zachleat strangely enough, it’s not something i even noticed until now. but yeah, i cannot stand most tiktok video. it’s too overstimulating. i deleted the app within 5 minutes of installing

                  1. Sara Joy 18 hr later

                     @exchgr I don't dare even install it as it'll just hold my attention for way too long, I just know it..

                     1. elle mundy 18 hr later

                        @sarajw i only installed it because someone convinced me to. it didn’t hold my attention for very long. i found it grating and repulsive lol. it’s built for brains different from mine
