1 Millennials Don't Have Jobs 2 Nobody Wants to Marry Millennials 3 Millennials Live in Their Parents' Basements 4 Millennials Are Financially Illiterate 5 Even Millennials Don't Want to Be Millennials All of these points seem kinda mean to say to your own nephew. "gently caress you, kid, you're unemployed, you'll never get married, you live in your parents basement, you're gonna be broke come retirement, and you don't even want to be yourself! Pass the stuffing?"

I felt it was very obvious that was a joke since literally every reason had a "Sure, poo poo sucks for millenials in this way..." attached to it. Which honestly is surprising since it came from the wsj.

And the waiter is talking about Thanksgiving in the past tense, but the Ungrateful Youngster makes it sound like it's on Thanksgiving and...  Seriously, though, I don't remember Horsey ever bitching about whiny college kids before.

TheBigAristotle posted:1 Millennials Don't Have Jobs At the end of the day my mom will just hit me with that zinger "Why don't you use your passion for something important like getting a job" Yeah like I haven't tried, but you know what getting a good job in geology isn't easy unless you want to get in oil and gas which I rather not since I don't want to be a sell out for assholes who want to continue ruining this planet. I do hope that Americorps Conservation stint looks good for National Park jobs though. Doesn't help that there are no jobs in Paleontology because A) I would have to go through grad school B) I'm fighting against the Jurassic Park generation and C) There are never jobs in Paleontology  Also #4 can be solved if our generation was forced to go to economics/financial classes in high school. achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Nov 26, 2015 |

TheBigAristotle posted:1 Millennials Don't Have Jobs 1-3 are literally "Why do you suck so much at magically overcoming the bad economy?" I'm reminded of how at one job the HR manager asked if anyone on my team had kids, and my team lead replied, "Oh, none of us get paid enough to afford kids."

I dunno how common it is, but I know a lot of families who are too busy/work too much to cook a big meal and don't necessarily want to visit relatives (or don't have relatives to visit) will go out to eat thanksgiving. A fair number of restaurants will have special thanksgiving meals. My family did this a couple times growing up.

achillesforever6 posted:No my parents do this all the time when I argue political points like "You know we shouldn't fire bomb the Middle East like we did in Japan in WWII" (I was shocked that my parents argued with me on this, seeing how we are pretty liberal on most things) The Jobs argument also doesn't work ebcause we've reached the point where they aren't enough jobs for everybody. It's literally impossible for everyone to get a job.

These read like parodies. "If you know so much, then why are you poor? CheckMATE young man, now shut up and eat your sweet potatoes." Inter-post edit: I suppose these are "jokes", but I'm sure some millennial's relative is taking a few notes before heading off to dinner right now. I have a nephew just out of college and I myself am back in school to finish my Bachelors of Science in Chemistry (almost enough for a mathematics minor, but I want to graduate in the summer). Maybe it's our hard-science bent (Nephew graduated as a computer science major, electrical engineering minor) but our college-related Thanksgiving talk is usually about programming, organic synthesis pathways and physics concepts. We almost never bring up politics, but in the rare event we do it hardly matters. We're all very left leaning to say the least.

Pththya-lyi posted:Your would-be evangelizer would probably point out that the Book of Revelation keeps referring to Hell as "the second death." Depending on their flavor of Christianity, they may even believe that the souls of non-believers will be destroyed after the Final Judgment instead of suffering eternally in Hell. Seems to ignore Matthew 7:21 but I guess cherry picking bible verses is par for the course

All these cartoons about how afraid parents are of their kids disagreeing with them at Thanksgiving make it seem like the 'PC' thing is mostly just a generational rift. Boomers are confused because their kids don't seem to value the same things they do, like cars or huge houses (even though most of the factors are economic), instead caring about obscure concepts like "not being a huge dick" or "not making GBS threads on everyone who isn't like them".

Yeah, that was pretty obvious. Still the only thing that really changed from it was me going from being angry at the writer (like the "here's what happens when you don't spank a generation" LA Times guy who did that "Millenial Pledge" thing) and instead just got me really about my life.I'm not one to talk about being born in the wrong century, but it would have been really nice to be a boomer. Also lol at Horsey if he thinks Universities don't adore Shakespeare. It's just that sometimes they do stuff from other cultures and they are also pretty great!
