It’s a joke. We all take so much generational shit from boomers a light knock like this is absolutely fair game.
Idk maybe it was a light knock once but now it feels like a trench war based on flawed premise
However I cannot argue it can be fun to shit on iPad kids even it isn’t super fair
If you’re comfortable shitting on kids for wanting to be entertained and parents needing 5 minutes of sanity then yes you can handle this joke
I am super comfortable, chair with massage levels comfortable
No you were just a judgmental person with no kids and a lack of imagination. Not every kid with an iPad is spoiled and/or has parents that offloaded the parenting to a screen.
It is wild how comfortable people are judging parents based off a myriad of assumptions all informed by like 4 seconds of seeing a kid.
Eh I know I would have been quite happy with one if I'd had it as a kid, especially during road trips. Even the Walkman was a boon.
