Haven't grown up yet and you're 24?

wouldn't it be a 1000 year plan? I bet everything is going according to keikaku.

I know you're just being funny but I mean at some point being the last person in your circle of friends to accomplish something has to weigh on a person, right?

It's pretty simple. Don't rely on others to entertain or support you.

But how does that relate to my and others accomplishments : (

It's all that matters. Be a man, not a child. Again, pretty simple.

Old enough to be a 70's baby.

He's Gen-X. Not Millennial. And it's funny he's shitting on Millennial's when he's just as fucked (but slightly less fucked) as the rest of us. Only he is in the "top 1%" so fuck you, got mine.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I also think it's a perception issue. I remember in the thread where I got Permed Besada was taking people to town because they were chastizing "college kids" and they should cut them some slack because they were "just kids". back in my day, if you went to college you were expected to act like an adult. But it's something that's rather prevalent. College has become the new high school and I don't get it.

I got kids breh, plural. I ain't top 1% in my own house. That's the wife.

I actually felt like my high school classmates were generally more mature than my college ones. Especially when you look at STEM students. Most are just there because their parents want them to be and are paying for it so they really feel interested at all.

One time a biology professor went on a rant about how nowadays a bachelors degree is just proof that you won't burn down the office but doesn't prove that you can really do anything independently which was completely correct. Of course he was telling everybody that they should go for additional higher education.

Yeah because our parents left us well. Don't be ignorant.

[seagrams hotsauce]

yeah cuz millennial parents sure left them a world full of bountiful opportunities

and lmfao @ u of all people playing the "buh buh buh my parents!" card with all ur up by the bootstraps nonsense

[Mandark]

What are we yelling at young people for this time, anyways?  Not working enough?

Cause I'm pretty sure unemployment rates for 20-somethings shot up as the recession hit, and have been (rather slowly) getting back to normal since then.  Same as for everyone else.

[tiesto]

But why do I have to buy a house : (

To store your 700+ games, of course!

Say what you will but even 10 years ago someone in college saying they felt threatened by some chalk graffiti that said "Trump" would have been told to "put on your big boy panties and deal". Now?  The college offers free counselling for those that were triggered by the event of violence.

We had "niccas go home" carved on our fraternity house. Which ironically was mostly white. Cops sure did give a fuck back then too, can confirm.

99.8% of college students don't give a shit about Trump graffiti or whatever other nonsense has old people convinced that millennials are the end of civilization

We should turn this into the BBW thread to go with the GAF thread.

I once had a meeting with a boomer I cut out of a (formerly) multiparty business arrangement by working harder for less money where they offered me a job with them, then asked what I wanted to be paid and was incredulous at the supposed lowball rate I was willing to sell my labor power for. Do you even surplus value extract, bro?

Also measuring grit sounds like a parody someone who religiously read Fire Joe Morgan would dream up.

[Madrun Badrun]

College has become the new high school and I don't get it.

Its also just that more people actually need to go to college.  Back 30 years ago these people would have been bolting chassis together in the day and getting teenage girls pregnant by night instead of doing extended highschool.  Basically the same stupid but in another location. 

[Huff]

Went to a presentation that evaluated medicine residents based on "grit" and survey results

was loling the whole time

Know who has grit?  Anyone that takes it up the ass.  They're some tough folks.  Gotta be in that position.

Millennials, they complain, sigh loudly when work needs to be taken home over the weekend, spend less time at the office than older colleagues with children at home

And?  Fuck working off the clock.  Most people aren't being paid enough for their actual hours anyway.  I'm a millennial though so what do I know?

Her book seems interesting though.  I'd love to read the whole thing eventually.

Millenials need to be more like Chone Figgins: willing to play every position at a mediocre level with grit and determination so that their employers can avoid making  necessary investments in their infrastructure and developing a 21st century workforce.

Tragically, the complaints about "millennials need more grit" were misheard by millennials as "millennials need more git" and now we are all paying the price (and HEAD is HEAD^^)
