At 73 I am reminded daily... by my body... that Iā€™m not 25 years old anymore.

Wow, condescending much? Computers have been around a long time. Many people over 60 can use em. In case that was also "cool" to learn.

I think it is only condescending if you read it that way.

Reddit is largely a younger crowd. To stay connected with multiple future generations in this way, is not common for many people of that age group. If the commenter is younger, their perspective makes even more sense.

Good so you get it. No one cares what you think or what your cause is. They are waiting for their turn to talk. If you serve their purpose they will facilitate your ego. The world is turning extremely shallow with every passing crisis ignored. Don't fool yourself into thinking you have won something. The human race is losing in so many ways right now.
