Are you loving serious? Millennials are Generation CAB, the loving "I got shot at" medal



We didn't need that poo poo in 2003, it was just kind of assumed that if you were in an actual warzone, you were going to get shot at. That's why you got Hostile Fire Pay. Then suddenly "I got shot at once" became some kind of achievement to set you apart from the losers who deployed but didn't get shot at.

You think it takes work ethic to go sit in a desert for 12 months, ride around in armored vehicles most of the time, and walk around occasionally? I'll admit, there were some who busted their rear end and worked because it needed to be done and I admire them, but the vast, vast majority were too lazy to check their own oil, too lazy to change a tire, and too lazy to pull the big bright red "stop" button back out before they tried to turn on the generator and decided it was broken when it didn't start. The vast majority were too goddamned lazy and self-absorbed to pitch in to get a job done right, because "it's not my job", because they had more pressing things to do like get back to their hooch to play CoD all night.

There was a big part of me that did not want this to be true. Looks like Achievement badges are not just earned in Steam.

not everyone lives in apartments.. Some people own single family homes.

also i like working with my hands and building poo poo and taking pride in myself for having the skills and ability to do things like rebuild engines, re-do kitchens, tile a bathroom, and build computers.

it's millennials that don't, hence the bitching in the millennial thread

Well its a good thing the people who proposed and established that medal are decidedly not millennials and that armies have been awarding medals, ribbons and other trinkets to their soldiers for thousands of years. So he is just being an angry old man.

However since you made a stupid comment involving video games this makes you millennial as gently caress. This is incurable and you have six months to live before you get a plaid shirt and start growing a beard.

Sorry

I figured out cassettes when I was loving 7 years old, I mean so what that they were still the predominant media at the time. Stick the holes over the pointy things, if there's a rail on the door to slide the cassette down into, then slide it down into it.

I wonder what this could reveal about millennial / not millennial. My first cd was embarrassingly The Sign by Ace of Base.

I know buying a cd isn't really a thing anymore, but do people still buy entire albums, just on iTunes?
