This is actually a pretty good point.


It's really funny to me how they discovered back in the 80s how computer use became more and more addictive the more responsive the computer became, so companies tried as hard as possible to make their devices more addictive and then more accessible for addicts, and no one bothered to say, "hey.. wait a minute. maybe we shouldn't let kids get addicted to stuff." Sort of like how they found out that refined sugar is more addictive than cocaine and every food company on the planet was like, "drat! how do I get more sugar in my food?"

I had some Millennial HVAC guys over to replace my old furnace today since I couldn't find a youtube for doing it myself. They were hardworking, courteous, and they didn't look at their phone once while I was talking to them. I think that I'm coming around on this issue.

I mean, you fags are still terrible, but these guys were okay.

uh, we're a country who has been at war for the past 14 years with a military populated almost entirely by millennials.

Q: When was the last time we declared war?

A: On December 8, 1941, President Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war with Japan; on December 11 he asked for a declaration against Germany and Italy. Congress approved these and thus was war declared.





Standing around schools, protecting kids from being murdered by their own families isn't war. War is the thing where you murder everyone and burn their cities to the ground.

I think last page that someone said the only generational demographic that is tracked is baby boomers, so I think millenneals are everyone born before 1944 and after 1965? Dunno. This thread has raised a lot more questions than it has anwsered.

I mean, violence never solved anything. But I live in Belfast, and there's no bailiffs in Belfast, and that's mostly because the IRA made a point of shooting them back in the seventies.

I suppose homeless people don't have guns though.

Put a rifle in a home bums hands, and they would sell it for hooch then ask you for another rifle next week.

If they had the sand or the sense to organize like that, they wouldn't be homeless.

But what do I know. Maybe Putin will enter next years SF Disrupt contest w/ an new geolocation concept aimed at putting Mosins into the hands of the poor and desperate. A sort of crowsourced flashmob for bayoneting executives? Private armies could really revolutionize the way people do business.
