"You're old, so you don't matter — that worked for us Boomers when we were young, but it doesn't work against us now that we're old. For one thing, it's too damned easy to look up any term or slang expression or song lyric. Is there any arcana of youth that's not searchable on the internet?"

That's me, carrying on in the comments to yesterday's post "And yet this isn't 'fake news' problem. (It's just a fake opinion that's a waste-of-time problem.)" The "arcana" in question is the term "NPC."

Also in that comments thread, Ken B wrote:

Wait. You knew the NPC term, but didn’t twig to the satire? You, who boasted of her acumen in just exactly that? You who implied your critics were stupid because their satire detectors were slower than yours?

My response:

I didn't know whether it was another overstated social justice warrior opinion or somebody making fun of such people. That was based on the headline ["It’s time to admit that Dave Chappelle is a white supremacist"]. I was annoyed to have to wasted my time going any further. Thinking about a three-letter name for the website wasn't something I chose to do first. It's a boring name and it doesn't try to say this is satire. It tries to looks like RCP or NBC or one of the many generic letter-sets that are names for websites. It's not efficient to contemplate the letters. In fact, it's not efficient to care about whether it's another social justice warrior or somebody making fun of such people. The fun-makers are not doing much other than repeating what they think an sjw would say, so there's really nothing to detect. I clicked through only because I'm interested in what's being said about and done to Dave Chappelle. I think maybe the sjws are cancelling him and I want to monitor that. I wasted my time clicking into something else.

That brought a quick "Methinks thou doth protest too much" (from tomaig). I said:

That's exactly how people try to push Trump back when he fights attacks. I have learned some things from Trump. #1 — Don't get suckered by your opponent's assertion that your fighting works against you. When they make that argument, it's because they are tired of fighting. Keep after them.

And when JackWayne said...

Althouse needs to get on the mailing list for NPC, IMAO and the Bee. Her sense of satire is atrophied. Too much lefty satire which is usually SNL-bad has created a void in her sense of humor.

I answered:

I see that stuff linked at Instapundit and have for years. My sense of humor is my sense of humor. I really don't want to get it to be more like those places. What is mine is exactly the right size for me. Finding MORE things funny might be considered — in your view — a less "atrophied" sense, but in my view, it's lower quality. I don't think having a great sense of humor means finding the most things funny! If it were, the person with the best sense of humor would be some sadistic freakish monster.

Thus articles "These kids today... they don't know how to wield the privileges of youth like we did back in the day."
