I was on the bus the other day when a guy rolled by on his hoverboard. This old Chinese lady sitting in front of me couldn't stop staring at him. I wonder what her crazy old Chinese lady mind was thinking.

Also for some reason I've only seen black people on hoverboards and only white people on segways. Coincidence?

Wait are chia seeds really a scam? I put those things in my cereal every morning.

Wiki: "Although preliminary research indicates potential health benefits from consuming chia seeds, this work remains sparse and inconclusive.[16]"

Given that seeds are designed not to be digested and most of the sites that I see that are hyping the benefits are also the ones selling them I am a bit skeptical

Seeds are a major food source, so I don't think that automatically discounts anything. Usually we prepare them somehow though by removing the seed coat or cooking them.

I've always been skeptical of the claim that they're some sort of a miracle cure (because nothing ever is), but they are a good source of fiber, and I'm assuming chewing might help with the digestion process. I've never heard of people drinking them in their water though. That sounds dumb.

In all of human history your ancestors were too dumb to eat this miraculous thing but you can eat it for just $9 act now.

South Americans ate chia seeds as a regular food until the Spanish stopped them because the Spanish were really dumb.

That isn't a burger, it's a meat sandwich

Seriously, who above the age of ten orders a burger with only meat, cheese, and bread

Nick Solares, meat expert.

I wonder what he would say to Michele Samarya-Timm, meat safety expert, about that rare burger. This lady goes around to restaurants ordering 55-degree burgers and then gets upset when the line cook doesn't know what she's talking about.

My grandfather actually did the stereotypical "walk in, tell them they need you, and they'll have to hire you" thing that you hear about all the time.

He got a job as a traveling salesman even though he didn't have a license, didn't own a car, and had never even driven a car. He went out and got a license and a car after the interview and started the job the next day. He managed to support a family of 6, own two houses, pay for a full-time nanny, and retire comfortably off of that single job.

Millennials are so lazy goddamn.

I feel very comfortable calling bullshit on that advice because I actually followed it when I first started looking for work. That was what everyone told me to do, and I really wanted a loving job.

I never got a job out of it obviously because the whole idea is retarded.

"Just be a plumber" isn't really great advice. The boom in unemployable liberal arts kids is partially the result of people trying to avoid a lifetime of nasty, physically demanding labor.

There are better career paths in trade schools anyway.

My dad was an HVAC technician. He made pretty good money, and he could fix things for family and friends, but he worked long hours and had to be on-call during the holidays in case the mills had heating problems. He also ended up with a few debilitating injuries and had to go through years of legal disputes for workers comp. A few of his coworkers died over the years because climbing buildings, working on a rooftop in the hot sun, and dealing with electrical systems are dangerous things to have to do every day at your job.

Someone has to do those things, and they deserve respect and a decent wage for it, but it's not the one simple solution to unemployed millennials.

How is it easier than a txt or any other non sex oriented app??

We communicate with pictures now. People take them constantly, and most of them are disposable. You could either A) take a picture, open texting app, tell it to add the picture, send the picture, and then go back and delete your copy of the picture (because it was just a silly picture of your dog or something)... or B) Take a picture in snapchat and tell it who you want to share it with.

People still use their regular camera app or instagram for pictures worth looking at more than once.

:confused: you really think being a plumber or a dude who works on A/C units is going to have really hosed up health vs some office monkey sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day who is probably doughy anyway? Do you worry about your eye/posture health for being on the computer most of the day?

My dad was an HVAC technician and came out of it with severe wrist damage that he had to sue his employer over for workers comp. A few of his coworkers died from electrical things and falling off of high ladders.

Probably about as bad as sitting at a desk, yeah.

That sounds way better than an unpaid internship for experience and limitless ps4 at my parents place while the economy struggles

My current millennial experience is working two jobs and going to grad school full time. My mom's great but I'm glad I don't have to live with her.

Also I don't have a ps4 so that sucks.

Apparently you can just click on any random indiegogo.

Like this one

"Magnetic liquid is this really strange thing that my previous understanding of science led me to believe wasn't possible. But then there it is right there in front of me, daring me to question those assumptions that previously led me to doubt its possibilities. And to me, that's powerful."
