raditts posted:Wait, "millenials" are supposed to cover people born in 1980? That's pretty far removed from the millenium. There isn't a consensus Gen X/Millennial stop/start year but 'early 80s' is generally regarded as the start of the millennials.

One of the better definitions of the Millennials, in my opinion, are the generation who developed technological prowess throughout their youth as the technology we have today developed. The AOL and dial-up generation, as it may be. The current generation is immersed in technology. It's a new paradigm.

Pardon me if I'm not sold on my generation doing anything other than loving everything up more than they already are, because the most influential ones are already well-connected. Look around entertainment- the Millenial generation is rife with nepotism there. Just look at Robin Thicke (son of Alan and someone whose babysitter was Wayne Gretzky), Miley Cyrus (son of Billy Ray), and the entire main cast of Girls. I won't be surprised if in 30 years, Congress ends up being made up of mostly of around 20 families with power and influence.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on Colbert! I don't usually stay up for the interview, but I'll make an exception for him.

How exactly did NdGT get super popular? I remember him as being some guy from a planetarium who was on the Daily Show, and I was like, huh, he's pretty cool. And then he kept coming back and being awesome - is that just it, and he went with it, or am I missing something?

Well, he's from the planetarium at the Museum of Natural History, which I think is at least more significant than just being from some random planetarium. He also hosted a Nova spinoff called Nova Science Now for a number of years.

This is the same sort of thing that would make me angry and disgusted enough to take a break from TDS/TCR but the "WE NEED ALL THE RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS WE CAN GET" bit was so over-the-top I honestly could not stop laughing. It's seriously something Colbert would do as a joke. edit: I really thought that Tyson interview lead-in was going to end with "and then I decided not to go to Cornell."

I am loving tired of hearing the media paint the entire Millennial generation with a single goddamn brush—and it's made worse by people within that demographic actually agreeing with that bullshit, but in a way like, "Yeah, my loving generation, right?" As though to say, "I'm one of the good ones!" Ironically, that response actually adds credence to the self-important stereotype of the generation. It's all so aggravating!

^^^^^This guy gets it. Is there anything more ludicrous and constant than older people spouting off about the younger generation? gently caress man, just ask people that age rather than having some older guy research millenials like they're a new species. I can't wait to bitch about the younger generation when I get old. I hope people will stop paying attention to this clickbait type of discussion. It always reminds me of a terrible standup set "Millenials live like this and Generation X lives like this, wakka wakka" Relentlessboredomm fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Mar 11, 2014 |

Yeah, from the moment that guy sat down on TDS, he was openly broadcasting a sunny, self-assured cluelessness that made it seem like he'd not actually talked to anyone in their 20s over the course of writing a book.

The thing with the Church and the treatment of scientists is that its ultimately rather convoluted, even after the points it wasn't hilariously corrupt (and that's even speaking as a Catholic). Some parts gave to the progression of science, others have tried to hold it back. Unfortunately, not everyone can be Georges Lemaître, and many of those who espouse themselves as Catholic (like old Papa Bear) don't seem to realise what the modern day Church's views on a lot of issues actually are. Not that one can't disagree with the Vatican, but if people are going to claim its part of their religion, they might want to be sure what that religion actually says. But yes, Neil is awesome, and I hope his work helps to inspire others to better map out the universe and such as we step into the future. I wonder if he's ever met Brian Cox, because it feels like such an obvious meeting but I'm not sure that its ever come to pass.

Someone who is not a millennial explaining millennials to Jon Stewart. He could have done more to express how we actually aren't that happy with living with parents and our inability to find entry-level full time work. Alright, I'll stop venting here; that D&D thread is still around, right?

Didn't he just have this loving rear end in a top hat on like a few weeks ago? Why does Jon think we want to watch him lob softballs at him again? My wife on that clip they just showed: "There were more facts in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter than we just saw there."
