We need to add birth order to federally protected categories lest the thirdies try something on us deserving firstborn.

:\ why are you pretending that you don't know how casual *-isms work.

In case you don't: "the baby acts like a boomer" is not insulting agaist third children, but it is casually ageist.

It is casually insulting, as in bringing a generally insulting framework into a different topic.

Boomers. How can anyone not grasp that? It's as if the insult is like water to fish, so people don't even perceive it.
