There is this weird tension in Kingston and Ottawa where 30 year old PhD candidates, policy analysts, intelligence officers, protective service officers, foreign service officers and so on have no idea how to dress for work, or behave in meetings. It's not that they don't know what Nautica and Banana Republic are, or that they can just buy the khakis and dress shirts from Lululemon that are a bit more stylish that everyone's rocking. It's that they really are dressing inappropriately "young" and "unprofessionally" and running their mouths about their jobs on LinkedIn, instagram, TikTok or worse, the dating apps and at bars. It's not a "kids these days" things, because some of them are my age and around the age of posters ITT. I mean, the young kids are worse, but you set the bar lower as you expect them go through the student experience program or internships to learn how to work in government, the academy, the military, other agencies. I'm exhausted by the older ones, and I don't know what the suspended adolescence thing is about. There are incoming Zoomers that are more mature and squared away than these straggling Millennials.

I think as people lose meaning elsewhere in life, in their daily interactions with society I mean, they fall into wanting a social media version of it, particularly if you are an aspiring PMC striver. That's why they categorize their own experiences as like #girldinner when they're tired from work and eat on the coach. I dated someone who despite a top flight job and education who nevertheless could only enjoy things by instagramming every overpriced meal we ate together in a trendy bare with bare walls and Edison bulb.

The problem is that the right wing are the only people saying what Social Historians are able to observe about past societies and nobody except weirdos is saying about our own: People "grow up" when they have kids, and are living, and working for someone beyond themselves. It's difficult, maybe impossible, to have the surety in doing things for yourself, loving yourself, feeling belonging with yourself, as you do with a family. I realize this is loaded with all sorts of culture war stuff, but I'm not saying this should be forced on anyone, or applies to everyone, I am just saying when historians research past societies, they look for rites of passage and the transition to the stability of adulthood and family life as the foundations of social life. It's like, conservatives want to force people to accept that their place in the world is xyz, but support the socioeconomic system that strips all meaning from it. What no materialism does to a motherfucker. They want people to behave as if there is still a society, so conform to it and everything, but without the incentives of material conditions that actually drive that behaviour. People get married and have kids, feel comfortable with their place in society, both in their home and community, when they can afford to. The RETVRN people are the same ones who most embrace capitalism, so "they symptoms are bad, but the causes? The causes are very, very good!"

I can confirm that I absolutely do feel much more like an adult since having kids, but as we all know, people aren't fully capable of having kids and just choosing not to because they want to kill the toys-r-us industry or whatever boomer bullshit conservatives earnestly believe, they're not having kids because they can't get a house or apartment with enough bedrooms to keep a kid there

You learn things when you need to, as you need to. I learned how to maintain and keep a budget once I was buried in debt and needed a way out, after years of not having worried about it before. I learned how to file paperwork - insurance claims, taxes, car registration, at the moment they came up, and not a second before. 2020 forced me to move all my bills-paying to online banking after a decade of walking to the corner store because you couldn't do that anymore, and it's stuck with me since. I suppose the question is whether you're in the right space and condition to learn, when that time does come, but even then, it's not like you only get once chance at it.

My concert going days are mostly behind me, and I'm perfectly content to stay at home and play videogames. Plus, even if I still were the Going Out Regularly type, I live an hour away from Pittsburgh, so feeling like driving in to do anything was something of an investment anyways. I could get it if you were someone who lived in a larger city with a thriving nightlife that you actually participated in, but for people like me, it was more of a minor inconvenience most of the time.

Nichael posted:The idea of very rigid starting and ending dates for "phases of life" feels like capitalist bullshit to me. It comes from a time when American society used to function. However, since American society hasn’t really functioned for decades now, it’s not really worth getting worked up about any more. The fact that the original tweeter is still lamenting that sort of thing like it still exists betrays the fact that she’s pretty well off.
