As a millennial making 130k I’m doing okay. But if your making less than 100k then yeah your fucked
betas
No mention of a spiritual dimension of humanity that needs to be nourished
We should have slaughtered all the boomers 20 years ago in a cultural revolution. But Americans are weak people. Born to be slaves.
Funny he mentioned electrical engineering. Yeah I'm not too worried about my student debt, mainly because I found a cheap alternative route to a degree. I do not expect to be a homeowner. You know who I'm jealous of? My buddy who is a master plumber. He makes a hell of a lot more than I do.
What about Gen-Z? Why always millennials?
Also, if you are born in 2000s, you are not a millennial, you are of Gen-Z.. Same actually goes for people born in very late 90s.
The actual millennials being spoken about always are like 42. Only the dinosaurs get to define what is important.
Opening line 💯FACTS!
The shit part is when you have an actual diagnosis that is defined by the SSI admin. You apply for disability and you have to jump thru hoops to get what is defined by them. You can have all the evidence in the world denied! Try again Denied it’s like WTF are we supposed to do? They wonder why the off urself rate is so high.
Really bad part is. I asked my therapist one day. (They have to ask if you feel like harming yourself or others) No don’t have those. I said so hypothetical question. If one says yes what happens? She said oh you would have to come in once a week instead of once a month. I looked at her and said seriously! I said no wonder nobody says yes! You’re punishing them by making them come in more. Now I’m bi-polar 1 and severe anxiety. I said with my condition good luck. Well they will put you in a 72hr hold. I said let them! I walked out and yelled this is why people don’t go to mental health!
Are Millennials the lost generation? Well you're still talking about yourselves so now you're found.
We are living the result of millennia of combined human nature & potential expressing itself. What/where’s the big surprise? Every generation experiences what they do because they were next in line. Including all the generations to come. Despite all this, not all individuals within a generation experience the same fate. That’s what evolution’s all about. Nothing personal. If it makes you feel any better, the bugs will outlast us all anyway.
If by 'lost' you mean sold to the great futuristic dream shilled by the tech companies, then yes, absolutely. I salute those who figured out how to think for themselves without the aid of google and tiktok.
It's too, much. All of it. The internet, social media etc….. it' just too much. Human beings are not built to be this over stimulated. It is information overload. We are not robots. We are not computers. We are human beings.
You have people saying " But, we have all of this information at our finger tips. Blah, blah, blah. "
If that's the case. How did the world get along before the internet?
Once again. This is all, too much for human beings to handle.
My quarter life crisis never ended…
they weren't theories
i guess starting your own business is out of the picture
………….this must be 10 years old ….
why do u need to work to survive? and why is everyone's goal is just to make money and die, sounds ridiculous, thats not why people are depressed
the world is definately more fucked than us 😀
I was born the last year of the Baby Boomers, and one thing I've learned over the years is that EVERY generation has to face some kind of crisis. Life is hard and unfair, and the only way you succeed is to work hard and fight every day. Never give up and never expect anything from anyone. Like Louis C.K. once said, all this amazing new technology and it's wasted on the shittiest generation.
I don't blame the younger generation for feeling the way they do. People thought technology could go either way and hoped for the best. It's sad technology has ultimately been designed and used in a way that negatively impacted society.
Essentially the middle class are disappearing and we will have a return to system of serfdom overseen by new aristocracy of techno overlords. Turning individualism into isolation is a tactic. We can feel the shift, however incremental, and it's depressing. Especially for Millennials and Gen Z.

🙏🙏🙏(this quote helped my mental health enormously). Distance yourself for a while, you'll realize a lot
Greed decadence hate evangelicals made it harder to make ends meet …..ruined community and divided it
The problem is, the fork tongued people called real life ‘primitive’. And the dizzy bewildered herd fell for it.
As usual.
Gen X has and is going through a very similar curve, save for being given awards for nothing, we weren't coddled, but we have been forgotten. We're not called the sandwich generation for nothing, we're managing difficulties and stress from our kids and our parents and now struggling to maintain gainful employment. It's rough out there, hang on folks. Hang on.
f*ck these boomers they get a traditional life, a house, a car, and then when millennials come of age that traditional way of living is oppression. Things that were affordable for them isnt anymore and these selfish f*cks yell lazy. Everything they grew up with is bad all of a sudden, all of a sudden we live in a grape culture and need me too. you old f*cks ruined family and community and theyre like people are hopeless??? surprised pikachu face
I wonder how many more generations i will see get called the lost generation before i die, so far is all of them. Also generational labels are overused, scientifically flawed, and largely non existent in any meaningful way.
Injured? Good. Call our millennial hotline, and we will laugh at you.. for free!!
A+
probably the first A you’ve ever gotten. SLACKER
NWO is appearing before our lives.
