Questioning Authoritah: Beware of Internet Ice Cubes and Online Deception

Sometimes, I just can’t believe what my eyes are seeing and my ears are hearing. Growing up Gen X, we were notorious for questioning authority, which has followed me my entire life. A close friend once told me I had a problem with it, and he consistently articulated it as “authoritah,” the way Eric Cartman did in South Park episodes. <iframe frameborder="0" height="480" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FXbebjUYItKw%3Ffeature%3Doembed&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXbebjUYItKw&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FXbebjUYItKw%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" title="Cartman Respect My Authoritah South Park" width="640"></iframe> <h1>Cynicism as my rite of passage</h1> He wasn’t wrong. <blockquote> Add a layer of blue-collar to my Gen X threads, and you create the ultimate recipe for “don’t tell me what to do, how to do it, or what to feel.” </blockquote> It serves me well in many ways, but in others, it does put up some barriers. I view everything with a side of skepticism and an eye roll thrown in for dessert. I never learned to play politics at work, and the concept of managing my boss felt way out of my pay grade. It was one of those other job duties falling under the “as needed” category that I refused to take part in. Now, I excel at any job I put my mind to. But believing the boss was right because they had a title didn’t fly with me. People generally agree with the concept of earning respect. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/questioning-authoritah-beware-of-internet-ice-cubes-and-online-deception-17a5228f4e4d">Click Here</a>
