      @@Pugetwitch When the whole GOAT term started it was mostly used to describe the best athlete in a given sport , e.g. Tom Brady, LeBron. Ironically, most people use it to describe the greatest of the current generation, not actually of All Time, which is why my examples aren't generally regarded as the actual greatest in history. So when Karen used it about the player in the baseball video game.....well you get what I'm sprayin.

      I really feel that "millennial" is way to large a term. I think the born between 1897-1993 group really saw the shift of technology change childhood *during* childhood. Like, in 6th grade I had to call my friend's house line, trying not to interupt their family for dinner but also trying not to call too late, etc, to try and make plans for the weekend, and the only people I ever talked to were people I knew face to face. By 9th grade, Online gaming, texting, and myspace had become widespread.
      It's like there's a pre-internet childhood, a post-internet childhood, and we're the ones who had our childhood during that transitional period.
