"who still live with their parents" huh I wonder why that is after the older generations de-regulated and dismantled everything that gave them prosperity and crashed the poo poo out of the world economy over and over again

Clipperton posted:you would think that but in my experience it is not true. like when i started working my bosses were boomers who were very very easily impressed by things like pivot tables and powerpoint animations yeah I'd say if you were born in like the late 80s early 90s you are good with technology and you probably understand how it functions (or least how to admin into settings and mess with it) my niece is good at using the tablet but there's no way she is learning the code or the workings of what is going on behind the touchscreen saying millennials are the worst generation is retarded though we're only a function of what you have caused

I mean some of them are funny, like props to the dude taking a selfie when his teacher was going into labor bc the facial expression really makes the photo but most seem super vain to me.

Casimir Radon posted:I'm really sick of lovely writers trying to put a positive spin on this. Millennials as a whole have no redeeming qualities, time to stop pretending they do. Their kids are going to be even more hosed up because they were ignored by their self-obsessed parents, sat down in front of a tablet since birth, and their parenting was dictated by the whims of whatever stupid blog their parents happened to be reading that week. We're hosed. idk I think we're way smarter than you and we can look poo poo up in moments. while you putter around lost we've GPS'd that poo poo and have been waiting for 20 mins already. hurry up grandpa.

Darth123123 posted:gently caress knowin stuff tbh I think the ability to index a lot of data (ie use the internet to research well), critically think, and sift through bullshit is WAY more important than memorizing poo poo like an encyclopedia. obviously it's important to remember things but imo the model of rote memorization to learn is obsolete. why memorize a bunch of dates when instead you can just remember something happened and then look it up in moments for the details? like using pointers in programming for efficiency. I don't need to know the quadratic equation if I know it exists and I can just look it up if I need it, for example. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Aug 28, 2015 |

Sir_Charles posted:Yeah but a lot of millennials suck rear end at analyzing whether or not something is a good and reliable source. That's not unique to them but they rely on it more. well yeah but I think you'll find at least ~80% of any generation sucks rear end in general for every bronie weirdo we've got there's some long dead fool that was super obsessed with fox hunting or whatever. 50 years ago there were probably more shut in D&D nerds or pervs who exclusively hung out in sex shops or whatever. ability to sift through bullshit and properly index data means being able to examine the source. I agree there's a lot of brain dead idiots repeating the first thing they see posted online but that isn't something exclusive to millennials.

Casimir Radon posted:Judging from having to peer review other students work, the oft touted millennial ability to find information is mostly confined to doing a google search, and accepting whatever they get in the first pass be it Wikipedia or Blogspot. Too lazy to even check out the materials referenced by the Wikipedia articles, or look in a book for that matter. well again, usually at least ~80% of anything (generations, genre of fiction, anything) sucks rear end. I'm sure there are many idiots but there's also a lot of successful millennials, too. There's probably more young millionaires now than at any other time in history because of venture capitalists ready to toss millions at any start up that looks okay (but I ain't lookin that up right now).

blarzgh posted:The biggest and maybe only real difference is that Millennials think "respect" means "giving/getting what you want." Older generations taught and learned that 'respect' means earning the trust and appreciation of others through hard work and honesty. To older generations, 'acceptance' as a part of life, in part because there will always be things that can't be changed, and in part because the value of the struggle is most often greater than the value of avoidance. Suffering through some hardships makes you better in the end. To Millennials, its a concept that's been inverted. is this how you explain destroying the american dream rear end in a top hat?

radiatinglines posted:Lol at olds thinking they should be respected when they are bad at their jobs. This is especially true with salesmen. I had a sales guy try to give me some wise words on how to do my job because he didn't communicate that his order was urgent, so I worked other orders whose salesmen did communicate their urgency first. He thought he was laying down some real truth bombs, but it really just translated to "wah wah, always do mine first!" Entitled rear end boomers think they're goddam Confucius because they've spent a few decades watching TV.

Sir_Charles posted:lol at millennials who blame the baby boomers for taking out 50 grand in student loans for a sociology degree the problem is more that every other western country has effectively free or ridiculously cheap education costs and we're the only country where you have to take out a $50k loan for a degree everyone in your life as a child/teen has been telling you that you need to get. not like I was ever told in high school to stay the gently caress away from liberal arts degrees unless I wanted to be in massive debt; all you ever hear is how people with degrees make more money on average regardless of what the degree is. tuition in germany cost me $75 euro a semester and it cost me $4000k+ a quarter (3 academic quarters a year) in a UC here in california. and that's not even talking about UCLA or Berkley's tuition UCLA estimates costs of $28k+ a year after everything just to go to school; it's madness. In Germany I was paying a total of 5k/yr euros for tuition, housing (which was my own studio apartment), and food Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Fasdar posted:Watching first years come into a state college, I'd say if anything the current generation is likely to be more prone to extremes. Some of these kids must've had a wonderful high school experience, as they come in ready to do real work and well aware of what is expected. Others show up functionally illiterate, yet somehow shocked to be failing. because high schools get a lot of funding from local taxes and federal/state grants so if you get your funding cut because the GOP hates education and you live in a lovely area odds are you are going to a lovely high school. and most definitely about the second bit. idk why everyone pushes kids to college when it's obvious college isn't for everyone and not only that colleges today are rapidly becoming a way to get into tens of thousands of dollars in debt with nothing much to show for it. btw I got a 2100 on the SAT what did you goons get

If anything I could have got a better score. The new writing section was my weakest area. Dumb section anyway; writing is so subjective (though they're supposed to just judge mechanics vs content it's dumb to have anything on a standard test be graded by humans).
