poorlifedecision posted:lol at the idea that any more than 10% of this thread was born before 1980. Only a millennial would sit around posting about how terrible millennials are. We all know that Pre-1980 generations don't use "computers" or "social media" or browse "comedy forums." And when do you think the founders of SA were born? Yep, solidly Gen X.

Chomp8645 posted:Would have been nice if millenial's parents were that pragmatic. Instead it was 24/7 "you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. Just follow your dreams!" Mr.Pibbleton posted:I think millennials get jaded from following really bad advice their elders gave them. Right, even though I hate spoiled, lazy millennials, I don't blame them for their situation... I blame their stupid Boomer parents, who are unable to understand just how much easier things were for them.

Tequila Sunrise posted:This x1000. I swear it's a recent tumblr/SJW/TvTropes or whatever you want to call it thing. People really, really want to have some sort of validity about their perceived problems so instead of saying things like "In general the media disapproves of my lifestyle" or "My parents give me poo poo for wanting to be an artisanal yo-yo crafter instead of going to college" they have to make up some sort of implausible scenario where these people come up to them in real life and, to-wit nothing, insult them on their choices. An extension of social media. Online, people really do get all up in your poo poo like that, and people who spend too much time their just have it bleed into real life.

How did you guys miss this? Somerville held a 'pity party', so people could feel bad for themselves. That's just about the most millennial thing I've ever heard of. Where is Cliff Yablonski WHEN YOU REALLY NEED HIM? Pony! My hope is that he is leading them into the sea.

Rime posted:Pumpkin is a versatile gourd which has a surprising variety of culinary uses beyond pies and lattes. The relative wastage of it as a food source in North America, over the past century, is quite boggling to the many Europeans who cook with it regularly. Yeah, and Mexicans eat it, too. Seeing it in tacos is NOT weird.

I thought that we've been over this: 1981-1983 is No Man's Land, Gen X stops at 1980, and Millennials start at 1984. One of the definitions of Gen X is "the dip in the population curve", ie, The Baby Busters. In my high school, my class (1991) was the nadir; smallest class ever, and every class after got bigger. That puts the midpoint for birth year at around 1973.

I'm 5'10" and I consider myself short. Why? I'm a management consultant, and all of the high powered execs I work with are all at least 6 foot. Most of them are in the 6'2" - 6'4" range. Well, the MEN, anyway. Height seems to matter less for female execs, but they ALL wear the high heels. Height is apparently a big advantage in business, even if you are a woman.

NESguerilla posted:Plus Wikipedia/google is full of misinformation and if my Facebook feed is any indication, people believe whatever they read with roughly zero critical thought. I joined Facebook a few months ago, and I've been shocked at how bad my younger friends are about this... in some ways actually worse then the crusty old fart friends of my parents. Did you know that Obama is a failed president? It's true, look at this online poll... A few months ago I sat next to guy on a plane who has been a highschool English teacher for 30 years. He was complaining bitterly that these days his students can barely write in complete sentences, let alone write a well-structured paragraph. Poor guy was really frustrated with the quality of his school's graduates.

If I weren't active on social media, I wouldn't believe that millennials were actually this insanely self obsessed: quote:Engaged to be Geared! This reminds me of when Baby Boomers were saying that they were going to "re-invent grandparenting".

How was this not brought up in here? Men’s Locker Room Designers Take Pity on Naked Millennials quote:Each day, thousands upon thousands of men in locker rooms nationwide struggle to put on their underwear while still covered chastely in shower towels, like horrible breathless arthropods molting into something tender-skinned. They writhe, still moist, into fresh clothes. Jesus Christ, take your towel off, use it to dry off, and put your clothes on. It's not that loving hard, and no one cares what your dick looks like. I also love the title of this response: If You Are Not Comfortable Being Naked Around Other People, You Are Not an Adult

Holy poo poo, children these days: Oberlin Students Take Culture War to the Dining Hall This is literally a case of "don't know how good they have it": people bitched about the college food in my day, too, but that's because it was only slightly better then army food. I mean... bitching about the quality of the sushi you were served? Ultimate first world problem. quote:“I would like to see Bon Appétit fired and replaced by something other than an international corporation,” a student, Kendra Farrakhan, wrote to the paper. “I would like to see the chefs have the respect and autonomy to cook the food they love.” Who the gently caress is going to pay for that? Do they think accomplished chefs would work at a college dining hall for free?

LegoPirateNinja posted:all this poo poo says to me is we want you to spend ALL your time at work and gently caress you if you want to go home and spend time with your family One of the things that I really like about being a consultant is that I don't have to participate in any of that "live at the office" crap. I do my job and go home (or back to my hotel room). Sometimes I have to go eat and drink with the other consultants, but that's not too big a burden.

Booblord Zagats posted:It's the "S"! Furthermore, Sketchers have managed to get worse in quality over the years... I bought a pair last year that fell apart in just a few months. (I'm old enough to be a dad, so I'm allowed to wear Dad fashion) Also, BKs were a big deal in the mid 80's... I can remember one year at summer camp around 1986 where literally all of the counselors were wearing them. The Nickelodeon fame for them came after they fell out of fashion with high-school aged kids.

a starwar betamax posted:I'm also bothered by how you can tell the persons number one concern is to still appear "cute" while mugging for the camera especially noticeable in women. One of Facebook friends is a millennial who posts lots selfies. Close up selfies with lots of face. And she completely blurs out/erases/filters her skin in photoshop in every single picture. So much so that she looks like a creepy plastic doll. I know her in real life, her skin is decent, I don't get it.
