What are these damn kids doing not knowing about the popular things I like?
there is a level of ignorance which i find absolutely unforgivable
one that betrays an utter lack of curiosity
this qualifies
It's a big wide world out there and I'm cool with kids not knowing about 1960s pop icons right off the bat.
google is right there
Because kids on the internet always research and vet their comments before posting on twitter?
the fact that they don't is precisely what I take exception to
look a thing up ffs
maybe twitter isn't the right service for that level of discipline though.
Twitter, when not being used for political/social uprisings, is 20% modern RSS, 10% comedians being funny, 70% rampant narcissism. I would have clicked Hail Hydra or awesome if scheck posted those tweets in [chat].

How much does people asking easily googled answers in chat drive you up the wall?
Is it a lot or a ton?

I think one or two of those kids is honestly ignorant of Paul McCartney. Given that he's still a presence in pop culture I think that's kind of stupid but so it goes.
The majority of those tweets are probably just people being dicks. I tend to think this everytime I see a buzzfeedesque You Won't Believe How Dumb Kids These Days Are.
Like, I am old enough to have a topical reference for Paul McCartney, and my parents were old enough to have seen the Beatles in concert, and my mom and dad both played the albums while I was growing up.
I would not be surprised if a 15-16 year old had never heard of him at this point though. The parents of a 16 year old could easily be younger than me and were into a completely different genre of music, so they never had reason to expose their kids to it.
Not knowing the individual members of The Beatles isn't a war crime any more than not being able to hum a Bach song.
Freedom Wars' combat would be so good if the system had just one or two more buttons. I can tell. Because sometimes it is great right until the moment I realize that I have to press a button with three possible functions, time seems to slow down, and I wish I had another shoulderbutton. *loud sweating*

olds get mad when youths don't like or know the things they like or know. more at 11
I get mad when anyone of any age doesn't know things and doesn't seem inclined to learn about them
If you are not a big fan of music as a youth in 2015 why would you know/care about Paul McCartney?

So I just ordered the Netrunner starter pack thanks to you guys. It's not like Magic, right? Like, you don't buy boosters and shit, it's more like Dominon in that there's only expansion decks?

Between the two. Expansions have fixed cards in them but there are a metric fuck-ton of them and they last two years or so before going out of rotation.

But trufacts Beatles are maybe 30 years away from being an important historical footnote instead of something current or relevant.
Like, people will talk about The Beatles the way jazz folks talk about Jelly Roll Morton.
All it will take is for the last of the people who saw them perform live to pass away.

There's this creature in Magic I can't remember the name of, but the gist of it is that if you have it in play and empty your deck, you win the game.
So you can build a deck focused on drawing as many cards as fast as possible and play that creature to win.
Can't do shit like that in Hearthstone.
This was actually my favorite kind of Yugioh deck.
That and the Relinquished deck I made.
Yugioh has a lot of banned cards nowadays, because early on the game could swing back and forth like a fucking Ace Attorney-case, with cards that for example just put all cards back in their decks and started the whole thing over but left lifepoints as they were. That's no crazy setup, just flip one card, boom.
The old joke about only needing one strong monster to win was weird, because even owning a strong ATK-score at the bottom of your deck was like asking for it to suddenly explode and kill you for no reason.

I like the idea of graveyard fetch decks in Magic. Toss expensive creatures into your graveyard, then use cheaper spells to pull them back into play.

because everyone should want to know everything
people who don't seriously give me stepford wife vibes
But teenagers are dumb. By nature they are dumb people who are super self important.
I know I'm perpetuating a discussion what I'm also going to now call a silly thing to argue about, but I guess I think it is one thing to go "how crazy is it that kids don't know who paul mccartney is since he's so universally known in our age groups", but is kind of a silly thing to be like "a 17 year old not knowing who Paul McCartney is somehow indicates a decline in culture or civilization"

not if they are asking questions
I know who they are. That's pretty much it.
The white album is probably worth picking up.
incuriousness is the disease
they should be purged with the flame of knowledge
and the napalm of wisdom
Now it's all savings accounts and tax rebates
Didn't they make that song Enter Sandman?
The way you can tell you're not a "kid these days" is when your friend tells you she's pregnant you don't respond "Oh, fuck!" but "Congratulations!"

You're thinking of the Doors.
But it's understandable, since Pete Townshend was in both those bands.

Heard who I thought was Nicki Minaj doing a song featuring another female artist on the radio like 4-5 weeks ago, really liked it, can't find it now
Wasn't Anaconda, wasn't the one with Beyonce
Might not have been Nicki Minaj, but I'm p. sure; had the same kind of staccato rhythm she does
Anyone point me in the right direction?

I know they're historically significant.
I just can't say I've ever listened to them.
Right. But one that people look down upon others for not knowing.
I guess maybe I should say "Jeopardy question instead of something everyone is expected to know"

the fact that they don't is a personal failing
One we are all guilty of, but a failing nonetheless
