Emoji aren't emoticons, they're actually individual ASCII characters like the wingdings font. Forums smiles are tiny little images. Hope this clears the air.

People with powerpoint jobs not knowing how to use powerpoint. I've seen a lot of presentations with non-fullscreen slides recently.

Stupid slides which are read verbatim and contain too much detail are almost mandatory.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
Greetings and salutations, all. Not-your-typical-millennial, checking in here. basically i'd consider myself more of a Greatest Generation member spiritually; big World War 2 aficionado for one thing, huge fan about it. Got all the pictures of the men on the Omaha beach landing + the epic one where they put up the flag as my screen saver; NOT the mens right meme versions that spells out "male privilege on it", but the regular real pic where this is just implied.

well, i'm ashamed to say it but it seems to me that a lot of people of "my" generation likes the wrong kind of phones and does the wrong kind of things on the phones; BIG fail. personally, what i'd like to see is a return the to time where society looked like the pre-war Fallout style, like the tutorial areas and tool tips of the 3D Fallouts, basically, maybe we can have everything looking like that again? just a thought

quote:


The emoji set ignores the fact that women aren’t the only people who get periods. Some trans men do, as well — and yet, the three “femoji” which feature people depict only women. I realize that the intention behind the emoji design likely wasn’t meant to be exclusionary, but it’s just one more example of the trans erasure which is already rife throughout our culture. What’s more, it’s trans erasure that could have been avoided if a little more thought had been put into the issue. Even the name — a portmanteau of “female” and “emoji” — implies that the emoji set applies specifically to women, rather than to all people who get periods.

22 reasons why it's good to be a millennial

Insufferable highlights include:

quote:

11. Exciting parts of the past are new to us – and we can discover them at any time:
When the Beatles appeared on Spotify over Christmas, people in their 20s who experience all their music digitally had a way to connect with one of the biggest bands of all time. You might sneer at someone who has never listened to the Beatles, but there is nothing more exciting than old music that is new to you.

quote:

22. For us, experiences mean more than stuff:
We’re not used to owning things because we don’t have the spare cash to buy them or space to put them, so we pour our energy into supporting the “sharing economy”. We don’t even have anything to throw away – we’re good for the environment. Mug a millennial and you’d be lucky to get a bus pass and a coffee receipt. Please don’t take our phones though – we live on those.

quote:

18. We feel younger for longer
Millennials can enjoy youth culture for longer. Our parents might have been made to feel bad if they weren’t “settled” at 28 – but the 28-year-old of today might be an intern, or eat ice-cream for breakfast, or spend their disposable income on amassing an enviable collection of Lego.

They don't want to fight real fights, so they pick small easy ones.

They just want to feel good about themselves on facebook they don't want to actually do anything.

Do-nothing social media activism is a millenial hallmark if there ever was one.
