Addamere posted:I can get on board with the idea of splitting the cohort, both because of american culture and internet usage. Some people currently grouped as millennials have memory of what America was like prior to 9/11, and can speak to the change that occurred as a result: airport security theatre, the rise in hate crimes and xenophobia, etc. The younger millennials, who grew up and became cognizant in a "post-9/11 world" have only ever known America as a hateful cesspool, and are keenly aware of it because they've been exposed to the opinions of our loudest bigots constantly through social media. You could probably pare this down even further, looking at the evolution of specific social media platforms and specific cultural movements throughout the years that are presently used to define the millennial cohort: there's a big different, say, between someone whose first cell phone was a Motorola Razor and who used Facebook or Myspace in 2005, versus someone whose first cell phone was an iPhone and was introduced to Facebook or Twitter in 2010. drat you pegged me on this one, my first phone was a "Razr" at 17 and myspace became a big thing when I was maybe a sophomore in high school, I was 12 on 9/11 (late 80s baby) and there is a huge divide in political / social perspective between me and someone just like 5 years younger

A medical collection bureau once made a little old lady client of mine cry by saying that if she couldn't afford her husband's medical treatment she should have let him die. gently caress bill collectors.

I didn't think they still existed. my boomer uncle is stil convinced that DSL is faster than cable internet becuase 'they came up with it first, im sure it's matured since then and cable internet came way after here' as a EE I had to just walk out to the garage and get another beer he's a huge bernie bro though so he gets a pass on not understanding bandwidth/QAM encoding...etc.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...a-idUSKCN1N52V6 Canada is now prioritizing the deportation of those it's rejected asylum claims from those who have crossed over the border with the US. As this dude puts it: quote:A CBSA inland enforcement officer said the tradeoff is that deportees who could pose a real public safety risk are not getting deported. Color me shocked at who the focus is on: quote:A CBSA spokesman said in an email that the agency prioritizes “irregular” failed refugee claimants along with criminals as a top priority, followed by other failed refugee claimants, but would not say why. 36,000 people have fled into Canada from the United States since Jan 2017 btw.

Plinkey posted:now that i've thought about it more...did you save up money from your poo poo job, or mowing yards to buy the D2 expansion on the day is came out in a thriving mall at gamestop? I distinctly recall video games, and especially computer games, being precious and few. I recall buying Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri in the bargain bin of Wal-Mart, alongside a copy of Myst, each for $5. I also recall buying both the Morrowind GOTY Edition and the Diablo 2 Battle Chest at that same Wal-Mart. I'd accumulated a few dozen SNES and N64 games over the years, but the computer games were precious things that each individually ate up hundreds or more likely thousands of hours of play over the years. Except Myst. I recall getting stuck on the music puzzle and giving up. e: Compare this to now, where I have nearly 200 titles on Steam with many I've never even touched.

shovelbum posted:I know some who got lucky in real estate post 08 and some who made bank in current tech boom Plinkey posted:I was born in 84 and got into industry just before it all went to poo poo in 2008 and had enough of a reputation and was willing to basically travel wherever they wanted to send me to stay on, and also know how to code...etc. I was '81 and grew up right next to RTP, I guess I know folks who are living comfortably and can raise families so I don't mean we're all broke. But when I was in college I hung out with a crew who were already pulling $50k+ as 18-21yo's, and when the first dotcom bubble burst in 2001, they were grandfathered into a gravy train compared to the folks who thought a degree or certification program was going to get them a gig. By 2003 RTP seemingly wanted 2-3yrs experience, not a degree, I eventually moved toward Philly and found a job putting computers together.

ShriekingMarxist posted:god this is stomach turning 9/11 which was caused by Saudi terrorists funded by the kingdom and radicalized by Wahhabists the aftermath of which led to the Iraqi invasion which led to a massive destabilization of the Middle East which, combined with technology, led to the Arab Spring, which largely failed and destabilized the regime even more, creating a wave of people who wanted to get the gently caress away from the endless misery and destruction and death which led to whole lines of people walking northwest into Europe which was taken advantage of by fascists, spreading propaganda of these MaSsIvE caravans of not-white people coming to "replace" Europeans, which, after a wave of Islamist-motivated terror attacks, got them stirred up and in combination with a general economic malaise and a growing sense of "There is something very wrong" and "We won't be okay", got repackaged and exported here to America, where the population revolted against do-nothing leaders by electing the only other alternative, a screaming retard clown Said screaming retard clown was fully indoctrinated by Fox News over the past few decades and began spewing back to us the same poo poo he consumed everyday for 8 hours a day and emboldened the fascists here along with a huge number of dull people who just generally go along with whatever as long as it's sold to them Then the Republicans, realizing they're in danger of being blown out, begin stoking the fires of "Look! Over there!" in a desperate attempt to save themselves by saying "I am against this thing you've been seeing happening (blown totally out of proportion) for the last few years and it's about to Happen! Here!", fully cognizant of and willing to walk down the path where that leads, because they have sacrificed all sense of morals in their quest for money and power
