loving millennials

they do, at least for Boy Scouts. i went every summer until i realized when i was 16 that it was a massive waste of my time. also it conflicted with my summer job, and i wanted cash, so i stopped going. it was an okay experience. i have fond memories and i have bad memories.

This article is corny. Cereal feels like a total novelty to me anymore. It's not a real breakfast so why put even a tiny bit of effort into eating it? Just eat a bar/smoothie or cook an actual breakfast if you have time. Cereal is all pretty much just a bowl of flour and sugar.

what if you want to go to a nice restaurant, maybe see a concert or go to an art gallery or take a girl on a decent and interesting date that doesn't involve driving for 40 minutes to find something that is actually something, small rural towns have nothing in them and no worth to a regular person

Fonzarelli posted:

here's the thing though, its just a regular city, its not even special

don't get so angry because the only thing you have to do is drink beer while leaning against car and staring into the mid distance

Why wouldI possibly want to go to a town that has less than 100,000 people? What could it have that my city doesn't have? I'm from a small town as a kid and it was boring and lovely, everybody intelligent leaves when they're 18 and moves to the local capital. 100k people? gently caress i bet they have two chinese restaurants that just sell general tso

Fonzarelli posted:

haha okay fatty mcboring, what is so great about your sub 100k city? how many cool bands come through there? i bet you only have one movie theatre.

Met a millennial today who is threatening to move to Canada if Trump is elected because Trump is going to remove all the mexicans and whatever and maker america whiter than it was before.

And I said then why bother moving, canada is already that.

Way too much Social Science explanation (Gen X hates that, not Productive), the more simple answer is the Baby Boomer parents worked all the drat time so they dropped Gen X kids off at the grandparents when the latchkey method was not appropriate, and it was simply being near the grandparents that you noticed their behavior and somehow identified with it and became misers.

What are the most overrated things in life?

1. Sex, 2. Pretty Girls, 3. Sex with pretty girls.

Now that we got this out of the way, I'd like to mention Happiness.

I think that concept is the biggest hoax of our era. It is only a holy grail or holy carrot that you try to follow with short term gratifications, parties, hookups, fast food, buying iphones and plasma TVs in order to get that little rush of dopamine.

When the dopamine is gone, you think you're doing something wrong (or if you're really stupid : not enough of it!) and you try it again.

Happiness is the promise of Heaven on Earth : that thing, that person, that item or feeling that you will one day get and solve everything, make you happy as if you had a permanent morphine shot going on.

I think that concept of happiness strictly equals consumerism.

So happiness is overrated because it doesn't exist and it's a coward exit : you want to be happy all the time, and never suffer.

Whereas TRUE fulfillment (not using happiness on purpose here!) probably must go through suffering and victory. But the suffering is never over, and that's a part of life. Otherwise, it's not worth it. There's no pleasure without pain, despite what the western Oprah culture tries to teach you.

I have friends around the world and that’s my favorite thing because it lets me know that there’s love everywhere. I realize that I’m really lucky because I don’t have to write a letter and wait ten months to hear back from them. I have people texting me now from around the world, and that’s amazing. I think being a millennial is about being with it, with technology and with the world, and trying to be as in it as possible and I think I find that in myself by surrounding myself with people who inspire me from everywhere.

I like making videos. I think they’re a lot of fun. I’m trying to make a documentary right now about teenagers and growing up and the college process. I think growing up is very interesting…you get hardened when you grow up and a lot of times it’s a bad thing and innocence is bliss, and I identify with that…I think I’m trying not to grow up because that scares me.

What advice would you give to millennials who are struggling?
Welcome to the real world. Welcome to real America.
So no sympathy?
gently caress no. gently caress no. No. Welcome to real America.
So what part of the term “millennial” do you buy into or don’t you buy into?
I mean I know it’s bad out here, but it’s been bad out here. But you can get it so many different ways now. And there’s money specifically for who you are, like you can justify someone funding you for support for who you are and that’s beautiful. Ask your grandmother about a grant. Ask your grandmother about a small business loan or about an incubator program or an investor. Come on man, for real.

Well I guess I can tell you: I initially started doing drag and there was a part of me that ventured into potentially trans territory. I still day to day just go out presenting as male but there’s a concerned side of me that wonders if there’s something more than that and there is an intense gender fluidity that I have and that causes a lot of distress internally, especially with work. For anyone who is trans, the statistical likelihood of having difficulties with employment grows. Taking on that risk for me is horrifying.

For a few years in early school I was really worried that I wasn't being taught enough technology stuff to make it in the new modern world of the upcoming Internet

I was honestly scared that everybody would know how to program because it was going to a basic skill like the alphabet and I'd be left behind

I wasn't worried my younger colleagues wouldn't know how to read a loving analog clock, but here we are

Good stuff, millies(that's my endearing term for Millenials)

I teach millenials and something really bothers me about the fact that they have phones but so many of them have no idea how to actually use them minus games, phone, texting, YouTube and looking for porn in their browser. They think I'm weird because I stream most of my music now even though I have 100gb of stuff. They, on the other hand, use their phones like an iPod twelve years ago and listen to the same 23 lovely 128kbps songs over and over.

My favorite example was one kid who was talking to me about music and was talking about finding music similar to one band he likes. I suggested watching the band he likes on YouTube, watching suggested songs based on that and using videograbby.com. Also told him to set up a Pandora/Spotify/Milk station based on that artist and maybe it would play some similar stuff he would like . He looked at me like I said I was going to gently caress his dog and asked me about torrent sites.

there was a steady drizzle outside that made the air seem fresh and crisp. took a pleasant little walk around the campus, bought a jug of iced tea since i'm fresh out, and came back. very nice.


if you earnestly believe that i posted my experience just so i would garner attention and possibly somehow even pity, then be my guest. i only posted that because BDBF brought up my fear of driving and i figured it was an apt time to explain where that stems from.

i'm just completely baffled, though. i said that i expected the backlash that would come with my post. i didn't want any pity, for what happened was my fault and i accept my mistake completely. i realized the cowardice of my nervousness and have pledged to get over it as soon as i am able to. yet i'm still being argued with for reasons indiscernible.

please, enlighten me on what i'm arguing against, because i seem to be on the same side as you all
