One is unaffordable, brightly colored hair, unable to look you in the eye, always wearing headphones, has a bigger dick than you. The other is a kangaroo. There you go millennialized for you.
like, this is typical boomer humor and i could just ignore it
but i feel the urge to give serious criticism to these kind of things.
your first mistake was to say “they seem harmless”. don’t let appearances fool you. Sun Tsu already said “know the other one, and know yourself, then you need not fear the events in a thousand years” (rough translation)
your second mistake was to assume that you’d have to keep them, i.e. pay for their expenses and stuff. you know, you can ask them to pay for their own expenses.
and the third mistake was to assume they’re “not trainable”. i assume you mean by this that their behavior can never change or improve in any way. that is very far from the truth. everybody can learn if the teacher is wise enough and has enough empathy to actually reach the other one. if the student is stubborn, it’s because the teacher is abusive. if the student is dumb, it’s because the teacher’s words lack clarity. if the student does not make progress, that simply means that the teacher has nothing of value to teach.
Now that’s a grade A boomer meme.

Huh. Why would someone who’d post this be on lemmy, out of all the other social media?
