I’ve been living the opposite. I work with some Gen Z and I’ll say things assuming they agree with me like “If your raise doesn’t beat inflation it’s a pay cut”, “If your job sucks, steal anything you can like an office chair” and “Why the hell would you ever want work email on your phone”. They tend to respond with some version of “But what about the company?”

What about the company? Burn that mother down. The you from 15 years from now would be disappointed.

I never dropped a literally.

I have no memory of seeing a gun in the last three years, but I make no claim to a perfect memory. Surely there were guns at the airport, but I didn’t particularly look at them or notice them.

But again, I am omitting people carrying for work, so I’m not sure why you are bringing it up a third time.

Do you not see the guns on people carrying for work?

I didn’t say I don’t see them, I said I would omit them. As in not count them. In direct response to your question.

I do in fact literally see guns every single day.

Literally every day? Literally every. Single. Day?

Even if there’s a cop on every street corner waving his gun in the air, you’ve never stayed home on a saturday? You’ve never gone camping? Never spent the day anywhere where there weren’t guns?

I have no reason to come into contact with cops, security guards, or soldiers on a regular basis. I can only assume your “literally” is facetious as well because literally every day is absurd.

And in the context of replying to someone making claims against the “average American” carrying guns, I think it’s appropriate to omit people carrying for work, yes.

I haven’t even seen a gun in years. You’re out of touch with reality.
