Or what, you'll act moody, disconnected, and do nothing? I'd add sit in the corner to the list but we all know your knees can't take sitting on the floor anymore.
"Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality"
Pretty sure Daria was a millennial ..
Not if she was a teenager in 1993 (her first on-screen appearance in Beavis and Butthead). There's a surprising amount of discussion about it online I won't recap here but there's passion on both sides lol
I’ve always thought the boomer/millennial whining was people of the exact same personality being insufferable to each other, just throwing down inane stereotypes while being emotionally immature and unable to be decent people.
Every age group has people like that, of course. I just get tired of having to watch it play out constantly online. So just shut the fuck up and do some good in the world. Instead of griping about people, show us something inspirational that you’ve done. Be the example of what you want other people to be.
You have a great sentiment that I whole heartedly agree with.
There is just one problem I see: the word "do."
Everyone wants to bitch, piss, and moan. But, very, very few are willing to "do" anything meaningful about the need for "do" in their community. It's always someone else's job or I don't have time or I could never do that.
I'm an old boomer now. I've spent my time "doing" things for my community because those things needed to be done and no other people wanted to do them. I just want Millennials, GenX, and GenY or Z step into these things and bring their skills and perspectives to our community. We need them. And I just want to finish the remaining 10 years or so of my life and fade quietly away. But that hasn't happened yet, I have a Township Board meeting this Thursday evening.......
So... don't be like you then?
... maybe
I feel personally attacked by this!
As a result I'll do nothing!
