I look at FB once or twice a year, to check in with people I went to Kindergarten with in another state.

Lol so predictable It’s got to be tough to sit down every night at your imaginary dinner party with fox and friends, and constantly lament about the end of your world. You want a tissue snowflake? |

I’ll give my two cents to the conversation. Social media is toxic. It’s probably damaging our brains and it’ll take a generation to figure that out much like smoking and our physical health. It makes people unhappy, causes envy and depression, and creates a world of one upsmanship. Imo many first world problems with society can be attributed to social media. Would parkland have happened if the kid hadn’t grown up with social media? Maybe, but I’d bet it was a contributing factor.
Delete the Facebook, Instagram, etc and never look back. Share thoughts and photos of your life with your REAL friends and family via phone, email, or text. You’ll be happier and it’ll probably help you land a multimillion dollar career. |

You couldn't be more right, social media, the internet in general, is also radicalizing people who consume only media that fits their confirmation bias. This won't end well.

Millenials are not a protected class (although some of them probably think they should be :rolleyes: ).

That could be said of every generation at one point or another.

Yeah but millenials are the first generation to have more people between 25-35 living with their parents than married with a spouse.

Why does every thread here have to turn into a generational debate? A few silly points.
Generational classifications are very fluid. A 32 year old and a 15 year old are considered to be millennials, but they have very little in common. I am a millennial myself, yet I avoided texting until 2010, didn't have a smartphone until 2014, & have never tweeted. Yet, I get lumped into the same group as current high school students. And how many of you actually know someone in their late 20s living with their parents? I can't think of a single person I know who does and odds are I know more people in that age range. I know some did move back home after the financial collapse, but that was only for a couple of years when getting a job with no experience was difficult. I also know a few people who look like the stereotypical millennial that would raise your typical APC poster's blood pressure. They have beards or man buns, eat kale, & are feminists. But they also have a great work ethic, have successfully started profitable companies, & are fun to be around. You don't have a problem with "millennials" you have a problem with people in there late teens to early 20s because you grew up in a completely different culture. Since you are the product of your own culture, you are incapable of effectively judging a different generation since your own culture affects your perception. Since complaining about the younger generation is as old as society itself maybe you should just realize that just as you grew up to be the ideal member of society, so will millennials. And by the time that happens, you will be retired and they will be complaining about the next generation. |

That’s a parenting issue don’t you think? Why are the parents allowing adult kids to live at home?
