The problem is going to work itself out. When the millennials destroy the world in a few years, we surviving Gen-Xers will eat the millennial males because they are slow and pudgy and helpless and taste like butterfat, and we will take the millennial females and mate with them to get the world back on a paying basis.

Harime Nui posted:I don't know why a lot of people think it goes Gen X -- > Y ---> Millennials. It's because the "generation" is a net cast too wide. I'm 34 and technically I'm a Millennial. The 20 year old kid who works our front desk is also a Millennial. A freshman in High School is a Millennial. Baby Boomers had Millennials, Gen Xers had Millennials. A Millennial could have had a Millennial. It's stupid.

Harime Nui posted:I don't know why a lot of people think it goes Gen X -- > Y ---> Millennials. Probably because like I said I have more in common with someone born ten years before me than someone born five years later, so people feel like there should be another generation there. The difference is if you were born in 1992 or later then you probably had a computer connection by the time you were in 2nd grade v I didn't realize I was a millennial neither, but I don't fit the mold. I'm so rich and strong I ate rigatoni AND macaroni for dinner last night and didn't even think twice about it

I like the generation Y - Millenial idea better even if they kind of blend into each other. Y kids being early or middle 80s-early mid 90s, and Millenials being 95 onwards. If it was separated that way, it would make sense because the stereotype Millenial kid is hardwired to technology and that didn't really take off until the late 90s. Then generation Y-ers could be content with just being generation X's retarded little brothers with nothing cool to their name but no Millenial stigma attached to them either

I feel like I don't really want a house I could have to move at like any time in the near future and what if there's never a point in time when I stay in a place long enough to be like "I want a big apartment that is really hard to leave without a big pain-in-the-rear end" I consciously limit my physical possessions Will I ever buy a house? Do I need to?

The 5th Foid posted:boomers are more progressive than millenials on literally every single solitary issue except trannys, gay people, taxes, weed, urban planning, universal healthcare, economic regulation, immigration reform, bombing brown people, willingly living in neighborhoods that have brown people in them, .... except for those issues, boomers are the most progressive generation by far.

Also every generation could technically have a kid in their own generation due to generations in the US being ~20 year periods it highlights how dumb the entire concept is, not how one generation makes no sense while the others do Hungry Joe posted:Um Gen Y gets the coolest title since the last generation that was hosed by a tanking economy - The Lost Generation gonna move to France and claim my birthright

HAHAHAHAHAHA FREEEEEEE, I'M FREEEEEEEE!!!! gently caress YOU LOSERS, I'M AUDI 5000 *hits the eject button* You're technically right and you're technically wrong. Some groups place the cutoff at the late 70s, others go all the way to 84. Because this entire thing is loving retarded.

we woke up and laughed at picket fence dreams and moved out of our lovely starter home and live in a motorhome. i have no idea why anybody under the age of 30 wants to purchase a house ever lmfao just wait till all the boomers die and their triple-reverse-mortgaged mcmansions get put on the auction block by the banks, who will own all houses in 2040. scratch your itch when they're on sale at least ffs

You should see the growth out there, just rows and rows of big houses going up in the prairie! And it's only 10 hours from Minneapolis so you can come visit" (she sells synthetic granite countertops she's like peak whitelady koolaid dispenser)

I mean I guess I could live in some little house close to me and pay a bit less or the same in mortgage each month as rent (don't know how it would work out with property taxes) but it seems like a pain in the rear end to move which is probably happening in like 2 years or so but I'm not throwing money away on rent? I dunno ugh

Schools harp on "college college must go to college at ANY cost or you will never get anywhere" from grade 1. That's because back when their parents were young going to college was still something that not everyone did and a degree still meant something so you could graduate, bounce around Europe or wherever for a year or two and easily get a career-type job when you came back just because you had a degree.

They lost a class action lawsuit because of underpayments during that storm and let me tell you, that $42 check in the mail four years later totally made up the difference if this sounds like your idea of a good time, sign right the gently caress up Basically if you're rich enough to buy a house you're rich enough to do whatever the gently caress you want so who cares
