Ape Fist posted:The chicks entire theory falls through the floor when confronted with the fact that Boomers are batshit terrified of technology and when a young person tries to explain how to use a computer to them they get offended at the idea that a young person knows more than them and either relegate them to a position so intolerable they quit or outright fire them. Boomers and their sticky gently caress-brained sense of management is a constant thorn in the side to younger workers who understand more about the products and services they offer than the boss actually does. Whinging about how 'A McJob is supposed to be temporary until you move into more serious work' would also be a fine worldview if more serious work was available and Boomers refuse to accept that Starbucks is the new All American 9-2-5 and when their generation disassembled all of the nations industry and shipped it overseas in pursuit of the golden margin. Articles like this are perfectly happy to consider every aspect of 'Millennial life' as an unconnected series of statements in vacuums that have no nuance or inter-sectional issues but when it comes to Life Over 50 you've plenty of shitholes like Huffpo50 celebrating how being old is _totally_ better than being young because being young is for retards. Boomers are the most entitled generation of humans that has ever loving lived and they're on a crusade to whinge as hard as they can for as long as they can that people younger than them aren't interested in their out-dated view of the loving world and their role in it as technologically incapable wrinkled toddlers covered in tacky loving gold and driving ugly retarded British sportscars which represent a world which no longer exists. Don't serious post in this thread. It's not worth your valuable time, friend!

I heard if you score a 100 percent on it Goldman Sachs calls you up and gives you a 1000k job!

Devian666 posted:I think that's a defining feature of Gen X. My younger friends are surprised that we took far more drugs than they could ever imagine yet still have jobs/businesses and make a lot of money. Maybe it's not grit they lack, instead they need high quality drugs. Millennials really are hosed because of their lack of drug consumption, that would at least give them a realistic perspective of the world and how hosed it is. Have you tried weed today? poo poo, stoners have been breeding it to be exponentially more powerful. From my experience growing up in a suburban town, millennials have plenty of weed.

Devian666 posted:That's the sort of weed you smoke when you're coming down off acid or ecstasy. It's great they've got some for that purpose. They clearly need something stronger. In my hometown if you didn't want weed the only other option was meth. There was a 40% chance your dealer would try to kill you via rottweiler. The struggle is real.

Devian666 posted:This is how Millennials are hosed it's the baby boomers selling them poo poo drugs like meth. It isn't just debt slavery through mortgages, student loans and $100k of credit card debt it's the drugs man. Baby boomers have to hook you on meth to pay for their retirement, those heartless animals. The Rott got better drugs than me.

Frosted Flake posted:This seems to be the same CNN crowd that is really excited about The World is Flat. High speed internet proliferation means that even individual jobs can be outsourced! Anyone in India can do nearly any job, for pennies on the dollar! Isn't this exciting and great!? A lot of people on my campus are obsessed with this, I don't think they have actually read it, of course It's basically trickle down economics for liberals who don't understand how capitalism has to work in order to function. Oh sure, the oligarchs of America are going to let African Nestle slaves start their own tech companies, this is a rational belief!

big black turnout posted:it's also only a matter of time before STEM degrees (hell, any X degree that everyone is saying is the "jobs degree") becomes oversaturated and people are saying "why are you people so stupid getting X degree, when everyone knows Y degree is where all the jobs are" until Y degree becomes oversaturated and... Eventually it will roll over and a degree in medieval history will be usefull!

genesplicer posted:The answer to this question is quite simple, and can be found in the classic film "The Dark Crystal". There is a pivotal scene when the emperor of the Skeksis lies dying, and the remaining skeksis circle around him, plotting and scheming, figuring out how to get the scepter and screw over the other skeksis. The scheming skeksis represent the millennials. The dying emperor represents the baby boomers, like me. This scene teaches us a simple fact: If I devour you, do I gain your mod powers?
