Millennials experiencing quarter-life crisis

Post by awesome guy »

This is the realization of who they are vs. who they were lead to believe they are. Adulting doesn't pull punches on these snowflakes.

Yep, life is a beatch, toughen up snowflakes

I guess it is harder to do though when you still live in mom's house and have no life goals. At 18 I was off to college, at 22 I was in my own apartment starting my career. Never thought about moving back home. And hell my first job lasted a couple of months before the guy that hired me out of VT could not keep me busy and really did not need me and told me I needed to find a new job...so I did.

I've seen several leave work to take up a life of sailing, like the couple that spent their life savings on a junker that sunk on the second day as they hit a shoal. Or another with a kid that thinks he's going to be the next Bill Dance when he's caught 0 trophy fish in his life. They're delusional, following their passion which will lead to a life on public assistance as their perpetual life of play doesn't produce income. The one with a kid really pisses me off as he's effectively abandoning his kid by being a loser because he's "passionate" about sucking at kayaking and fishing. He's also got a dishonorable discharge for stealing and so the "passion" argument is a facade over not being able to find work. They're lost, yet put on a facade of success and choice when they're struggling to do basic things in life. They're turning their life into a movie on youtube and just like Hollywood, they're shallow and fake. A life made for Instagram, not building a life.

I have a friend from VT who wants me to help their daughters friend find a job out here. She is 23 and graduated from a prestigious school on the east coast. She has moved out here and so she sends me a resume. After graduating from the prestigious school she spends a year as a nanny in Europe. I mean, who does this but a rich kid? He resume was basically now receptionist level, instead of an entry level corporate training deal. She is smoking hot so she will get something. Still, it shows complete lack of seriousness about life and work to do that imho.

1. Yes she is rich. Poor girls from middle america work as medical code taggers after college- or for Enterprise Rent A Car or BOA "management" programs. They don't nanny in europe. 2. Having a shitty resume at 23 is not a crime. What is a crime is thinking you are entitled to 90K per year with said shitty resume- that is the issue with kids today. They get an MBA with zero "B" experience or talent, and expect to be CFO or controller making 6 figures.

Snowflakes want Apple to fix their device dependency. They can't control their lives but want to control yours.

https://www.theblaze.com/news/2018/03/1 ... -addiction

Some Stanford University students say Apple’s iPhone is too addictive, so they’re demanding that the company intervene to help combat electronics addiction.

What are the details?
The group, identified as Stanford Students Against Addictive Devices, told The College Fix that the group aims to “take our concerns to Apple by engaging with consumers and employees in a series of demonstrations.”

The school newspaper, The Stanford Daily, reported that the group’s most recent protest occurred March 3 at a California Apple Store.

During their demonstration, the students handed out flyers to help raise awareness of electronics addiction.

“iPhones are our gateway to addictive services (read: Facebook and company), so Apple is uniquely capable of helping us curb our dependence,” a portion of the flyer read. “Even though Apple’s business model does not rely on device addiction, they fail to take common sense steps to address the issue.”

Some of the consequences of iPhone addiction, according to the group, include stress, relationship damage, and hindered productivity.

We blame cigarette companies for making people dependent on cigs, why not blame apple for making them dependent on phones. Apps and social media are massive psychological addiction generators.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

Social media should be regulated. ;)
