Wow, I guess I must've hallucinated all those other consoles that came during the decades before Xbox, etc. Calling Xbox "6th Generation" is really misleading, come to think of it.

Toadstrieb posted:I'm genuinely not sure if you're trolling me or not, but what we are asking is, "do millennials suck, and why?", and I'm answering that question in a way that's relevant to what's been in the thread recently, ie, this dude and his art project. Sorry for this late reply. I have really strong values I hold dearly, and a distaste for the commercialization of the world is one of them. I agree with your points about how corporations use a veneer of affability to hide an alienating production process. However I think that you thinking that millenials are somehow unaware that corporations manipulate them is extremely funny. There isn't a person in america over the age of 14 who isn't aware of the truthbombs you are dropping

Also having the run section in the middle column is really stupid. You'd want walk in the middle as they are least likely to fall, and txt and the run on either side, so if they do fall they can catch themselves. Although possibly it is real and what ever institution it is, is just a bit crap.

The biggest and maybe only real difference is that Millennials think "respect" means "giving/getting what you want." Older generations taught and learned that 'respect' means earning the trust and appreciation of others through hard work and honesty. To older generations, 'acceptance' as a part of life, in part because there will always be things that can't be changed, and in part because the value of the struggle is most often greater than the value of avoidance. Suffering through some hardships makes you better in the end. To Millennials, its a concept that's been inverted. Millennials reject that notion, that anyone should ever have to face discomfort, failure, or disappointment of any kind. The leaders of their zeitgeist grew up never being told, "no" and the rest latch on to the notion, in response to whatever particular discomfort they'd like to avoid. The natural immutability of some things, like simple biology, or the inability to control other people's minds, causes the majority of the mental gymnastics in their philosophies. I think older generations learned that occasional disappointment makes people stronger and better, and sometimes someone is going to tell you, "no." Millennials didn't.

What do you mean we should not be using telnet32? Have you all lost your cotton picking minds? How else are we going to access the cobol mainframe? Yeah, uh..nobody accesses that thing anymore but you, so we're shutting you down. Union says it stays up until I retire.

Darth123123 posted:ye of little faith in the levels self absorbtion of millienials See this is what's wrong with society today. Instead of teaching students proper behaviour, in this case not to walk and text at the same time, they cater to this unnecessary and at times (especially on stairs) dangerous behaviour by expressively allocating a lane for it. Seriously can anyone explain the benefit of this compared to teaching people the correct stairway rule "don't walk and text on a busy stairwell". This kind of "tolerance" teaches an already very self absorbed young generation that whatever you do is OK as long as you do it long enough so that other people simply give up and let you do it. I know in this case it is mostly "harmless" but it set a wrong example if you ask me. Please tell me I am not the only 34 year old one who thinks this way.
