Pennywise the Frown posted:It's good to fight for a G.I. Bill so you aren't crippled with $60,000 of debt after going to school. same also you get shitloads of grant money on top of it for being a low-income veteran so you basically make what they call in the industry a "whole lot of money" profiting off going to school. If you fully embrace free housing and food while in and save smartly, there is no excuse to not be able to graduate with a free degree and enough money/good credit for 20% down on a respectable home. but some people don't want to fight for capitalism or kill innocent people (ON ACCIDENT!!!!) so it's basically not for faggots (MILLENNIALS!)

corpuscollossus posted:You also get to compound the world's problems by killing children with drones, enforcing american hegemony and creating the petri dish of misery and contempt that provides the political will for ISIS to exist. Its a coin flip but that theology degree isn't going to pay for itself. those are the fun parts though  I'm not understanding, you get to do all that fun stuff while getting free education, it's a big fat silly secret

My Q-Face posted:To an extent, which is why I sneer at the soldiers and veterans saying "I'm not like the rest of those lazy millennials, I went to War!" War is (and always has been) about 99% sitting around waiting for poo poo to happen. And also when the senior leadership stands around saying "you're great, you're wonderful, you're the elite, you're part of the point four five percent of Americans who have volunteered to fight since 9/11, you're special just because you put on the uniform", it's not at all surprising that so many come back thinking the rest of the country owes them something (beyond VA benefits and care and such). Not disagreeing, soldiers are incredibly lazy and mostly inept. But it's stupid easy to get way ahead in life by joining the military unless you already are a trust fund baby or something. Typically Joe spends all his money on cars and strip clubs and alcohol, but if you can plan ahead, it's probably one of the best means of upward mobility there is. You don't even need to do anything to offend liberal sensibilities, you can be a finance clerk/veterinarian services (food tester) or in the coast guard or something. That's the best thing about the military, infantrymen get paid the exact same amount (in general) as water purification dudes and everyone gets the same GI Bill.

If you are plain/don't have some faggoty complex 'do and live near a military base, go to the asian barbers that flock outside the gate. There you can find sub-$10 haircuts that are good as long as you get a fade

momerath posted:can anyone explain hipsters to me? like does anyone know any of them personally? i grew up in new york and i see them all the time but i just can't wrap my mind around the culture Narcissism and pretentiousness, for example the craze of growing a beard because it somehow makes you more masculine while ignoring the traits that make beards cool to begin with. Lumberjacks and spartans and mountain men and poo poo aren't tough and manly because they have beards, but because they don't live in lofts downtown and ride fixies to the slam poetry reading at the coffee house. It's all a big black hole of I loving Love Science mixed in with a dash of pretending to like bitter as gently caress microbrews because it all makes life a little more exclusive somehow.

you'll never really be happy if you become a burnt-out flunkie "living the dream" because you will always know in the heart of hearts that you are a loving failure. it's the classic instant reward vs delayed gratification hmm I wonder if I'd be happier smoking weed and drinking every day living on the dole, or if I'd be happier becoming an accomplished professional and maybe someday get a PhD in my field (but be working for the MAN/CORPORATIONS!!!!!!). hmmmmmm

Also might have to do with the fact field jackets aren't issued anymore but the concept of a wearable poncho liner is so genius people still buy them and don't know they're supposed to go with the old field jacket, so they got their own endearing name.

I met the first no-poo poo millenial.jpg tumblr-prime person recently. We hit it off because we both enjoyed Tim and Eric but they ended up being 100% loving insufferable and embarassing to take into public. They had a severe drinking problem yet lamented how they couldn't afford internet and lived in a shithole apartment and basically blamed society for everyone's problems and did that faux-intellectual thing where they talked poo poo on Bernie Sanders because THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS TRASH!! also they admitted to whoring themselves out to get hard drugs welp there's my millenial story gbs thanks for reading

Facebook is the best it's ever been honestly, as pessimistic as it sounds the fact that they've researched the poo poo out of psychology and datamining to tailor the site perfectly to tickle all the obsessive parts of the brain has worked well in terms of accessibility. I don't actually use FB all that much anymore, but I give the company credit for (unlike Twitter and other stupid bullshit tech bubble companies) trying to make the site into something that can adapt and last. Facebook, along with Amazon, is one of the only major tech bubble companies I can see weathering the impending pop. The Social Network did a good job at illustrating how big of a dweeby goon Zuckerberg is though lol

House payments are often cheaper than rent, like they call it "first-time homebuying" for a reason, nobody is expecting people to buy McMansions at 18 years old. Around here, you can get an otherwise serviceable but very dated/needing reno house for like $50k AND it's centrally-located. Don't really buy the whole argument that there are crippling extenuating circumstances keeping a majority of people at home beyond just being lazy and preferring an easy, comfortable life with more spending money. Unless it really is just a bunch of Buzzfeed writers making problems on the west coast seem nationwide.

And rent is $700/mo or so for 2-3 bedrooms which is cheap.  midwest strokes, those houses on that Flip or Flop show where they sell them for 300,400,500 thousand dollars in Cali would be scraping 100,000-150,000 here

naem posted:Ok so someone (with $70k in student loans) gets a job at the one employer in the area (factory) for $30k and buys a small terrible older house for $100k, trapping them in the area, now the employer moves to a right to work state to save money by paying less, the one employer is gone and the house is worth less than the mortgage in a jobless area now what That's certainly quite a scenario, where someone gets a degree from what would be one of the premier public universities in the country given that cost and goes on to get a job as minimum-wage handle puller. Or they go to a trade school to be an HVAC specialist or plumber or diesel/A&P mechanic or something and make significantly more paying significantly less- the dude in your scenario must be a primo dumbass or lives in Santa Monica.

Illavick posted:My actual no poo poo 100% real plan at this point is to get in shape and join the french foreign legion. I get food and shelter and hopefully can stash away what little pay I get until I'm discharged after 5 years and then use my nest egg to get a college degree in something not lovely. Or I can also work for some PMC or as a cop. Or I can live in the wilderness with all my survival skills and wait for the end of civilization. Or maybe in those 5 years the economy will have recovered somewhat. Or maybe I'll get horribly killed in a gun fight and then none of this will be a problem for me anymore. actually nevermind, good troll, you got me
