As an early 90’s millennial, I’ve never noticed a “gen z stare” as described in news articles like a “blank face that shows lack of social skill or ability to think”. The only times I’ve witnessed it happen and seen the older person accuse them of “gen z stare” is when the older person says something off hand or dumb but isn’t self aware enough to realize they’re being weird. Hell, I’ve given people a blank face countless times because I was taught it was better to say nothing at all sometimes. Especially when it came to talking to older people at work.
I remember when I was 16, some middle aged guy at work accused me of having no personality. In reality, I kept all conversations short as possible with him (like almost everyone in the store) because they were casually racist and misogynistic.
Hey man if you’re going around yelling at service employees I think it’s clear who’s in the wrong.
It’s like you didn’t read the message and understand the context.
It’s like there’s never a good reason to yell at anyone, let alone a minimum wage service employee who’s barely scraping by.
There are absolutely good reasons to yell at people.
Seriously, what kind of performative crap is saying things like “it’s never right to yell at anyone”?
I can’t seriously think you either believe or have thought this through.
Okay, tell me about one situation where yelling at someone achieves anything. I can’t remember the last time I yelled at anyone.
“Help, we are being attacked”
“Stop fighting!”
“Watch out, there’s a bus coming!”
“Leave me alone, leave me alone!”
“Are you proud of working for ICE? Do you go to bed proud of what you do?”
1 is crying out for help instead of yelling at someone
2 doesn’t do anything
3 is a good example. Warning someone of imminent danger is a place where yelling at someone actually helps
4 again doesn’t do anything except serve the same purpose as 1
5 again doesn’t do anything. Nobody’s joining ICE with their conscience intact
