It's impressive that there's a whole subreddit devoted to people born between 1880 and 1900.

whatever makes each generation after it sound worse, more demeaning and dumber, the better imo.

GREATEST generation -> babby bombers -> gen x -> millenials -> tweenials -> autistic durrhurr weee-wee-pee-pants generation -> steaming pile of impotent beta babyfood feces generation -> ?????

They weren't called the greatest generation until they started dying in droves. Before that they were the great depression generation (but not called that) - because that actually had an effect on them.

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

I took it before the scores were inflated by 50% so that the millennials would feel special.

They added another section; that's not just inflating scores?

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).

The new section that only became necessary when schools realized that the millennials didn't even know what a five paragraph essay was, let alone be able to write one with correct spelling and grammar?

Not that you are any less able, in fact you're almost 600 SAT points smarter than your predecessors. GOLD STAR!

My favorite crazy old candy is candy corn.

Mix it with peanuts and you can't distinguish it from a Payday. While still a second-tier candybar, Payday is way better than candycorn alone.

67. Find a way to do what you love, even if it doesn't pay well. Don't do that thing all the time, though.
You're not going to change the world, but you can change the part of the world where you are.
There is no person, no movement, no religion, no organization that is your perfect match and will never disappoint you. That's OK. You can still believe and you can still work toward something wonderful, though imperfect.
Ditch the cynicism of your 20s for the wonder of your single digits as fast as you can. Seek beauty and wonder. When you find it, share it.
