Liberated.

I just liberated my self from a rather bad situation, and i'm all the better for it.

No more moderating on that stupid subreddit with the creator- who has been in absentia- and left me to run things  BY MYSELF for almost a year now.

No more double standards from my so called peers.

No more trying to open conversations with others, to help me understand my generation more, and to find like minded people. 

Redditors are a very fickle bunch, what's worse is a Redditor who was born between 1965-1980 and parades around the term 'GenX' like it's some uppity badge that makes us any better (i was born in 1973) than those who came before or after us. 

I am so glad to dump this silly ideology because i was born at a certain part of a timeline. 

Blah blah, the boomers are taking everything. And boo hoo, the millennials (here's some irony- we raised them!) are a bunch of participation trophy winning entitled brats. 

The blinders are off and the fool's parade can continue without me.

I feel oddly liberated and learned the most from quitting moderation of this sub, in the past five minutes, than i had in the almost two years of research, editing, overseeing and generally dodging bullets from those who choose to remain mediocre and 'too cool for the new school.'

So, screw /r/GenX.

I did my time.  Now the shackles are off and i can go back to being me and not me as a GenXer. 

Oh, we're so great because the last cool stuff happened when we were young. 

Keep that mentality up and stay stuck in the past. 

Sayonara.
