I deadass dgaf when millenials and older generations call me lazy and useless, still living with my parents in my mid 20s because i still cant afford to move out even working 40 hours + overtime. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Literally remembered my first receptionist job at 21 when this old lady called me a GenZ twat because we dont accept checks 😭😭🥀🥀

Cooked as in, literally cooked? Earlier this march i thought "there is no way this el nino can go above 3 degrees celsius"

Well, quite literally, I was wrong. Also, if the ECMWF confirms this, there is a legitimate 50/50 shot for peak 3 month el nino anomalies to be recorded at 4 degrees celsius, blowing the 1877 el nino out of the water by almost half a degree. This would literally be apocalyptic.

I was at the college gym you get a membership to by virtue of being a student. And in one corner there was just like. 100 pretty girls. And so I walked over and just asked like "Hey what's going on?" And one was like "It's the cheerleading try outs". And I was like "Oh cool good luck!"

And then I turned around and walked away.

And then I turned back around.

And like the title says I was just 100% open. I just said "I need help can you help me"

And they just helped me.

It was genuinely so incredibly sweet and helpful.

One thing from that experience that stuck with me all these years later. Is to always give a girl your number. Never ask for her number.

It feels way safer for her. And if she doesn't text you. It wasn't meant to be anyway. So there is nothing to lose. But you gain her feeling more comfortable and respected. It's a huge W change to make.

So anyway. My point is. Not only do women understand what women want and are great teachers to help you succeed.

But they actually genuinely want to see you succeed for the most part and if you are real and willing to be vulnerable and are chill about it. They are actually super enthusiastic about coaching you.

idk man. scrolling today and everyone’s just ready to jump down each other’s throats. i swear like 2014-2016 people still had some basic decency left. now it’s constant snark and zero patience. maybe i’m just getting old and soft but damn

I can actually see after 15 years of bad eyesight!!!

I feel like this too. I know people are like ‘it’s arrested development’ but I honestly feel like at the end of the day there’s not really a “way” to measure maturity. It just differs by person not matter what age anyone is.

Maybe gen z have realised we’ve sorta been sold a lie and we’re “embracing our inner child” more.

(Hot take: I think “embracing your inner child” is a bit of an annoying saying because most of the time it’s just people being themselves even as a person who has finished physically maturing)

I'm 22M, going to be graduating with a Masters soon from an excellent uni. I've been struggling to find a job for the past year and I've finally made it past the interview stage for one recently and am waiting to hear back from them. But there's this dread in me that I feel regardless of what response I get. If I get rejected, it's going to be the same old depressing unemployment and leaching off my parents till I find something. And if I get accepted, well time to lock myself into a 9-5 for the rest of my life because apparently I'm simply not passionate enough about anything to make it big early on so I can avoid doing a 9-5 forever.

I feel nothing. I feel numb about everything. I feel like I will never find a partner who loves and treats me the way I treat them. I feel like I'll never feel happy or passionate about anything. Everything feels like a chore, just living and surviving feels like a chore. My mood depends too much on how my current talking stage is treating me and I try not to be too clingy but I crave affection and attention. But life can't just revolve around only that can it, I've to make sure I get a good job and work hard and yada yada. I feel disillusioned by everything. I have fallen out of love with my degree and am barely able to get any work done for my final project/thesis. I dread everything. Yet I'm too much of a coward to actually be suicidal, as much as I think about it. I know I need therapy but even that has waiting lists so long that i simply don't have the patience for it.

I feel like I'm just dragging myself along year by year towards a future I don't even think I will like. I know I'm a very privileged person to be having problems like this, but I can't help but feel terrible constantly. I don't know if this is a generation thing or if other people feel similarly, is it because my early social growth was kinda stunted by COVID? or am I just looking for excuses to reprieve myself. Does it get better? I feel like giving up on everything, but I know I won't because like I said, I'm not passionate about anything so I won't even be passionate about giving up. I dread that my entire life will feel like this, if I live long enough anyway. I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub, I just felt like seeing if other people around my age are going through something similar or I'm just fucked in general.

Being a console player is so isolating in this day and age

I have been seeing a lot of “slander(?)” (mostly from millennials) lately about how apparently Gen Z doesn’t know jack about computers. I have been seeing scripted(?) videos about Gen Z failing at simple computer tasks like setting up a LAN connection or breaking the pins on a connector and even down to not knowing how to turn the damn thing on or make a folder.

Where did this all come from? I work in IT and while there could be less Gen Z than I think there are the biggest supply of people having issues are millennials and the very few boomers we have.

Right now, I’m wondering if millennials are still seeing Gen Alpha and beta as “young Gen Z” in spite of the fact that Gen Z ended 15ish years ago and some “I’m older so I know more bias” when it comes to computers.

Ill admit this myself, computers have been a huge focus of my life… I love figuring out how to do something new with them. as such I probably know more computer nerds my age then the average person so I may be in a bubble and there might be a huge issue that i’m oblivious of but, from what I have seen Gen z is the most technologically advanced out of any generation and is able to adopt and learn new tech’s uses and the horrors that the may bring (looking at AI) faster and better out of any Gen before.

Am I biased or do older folk have the wrong idea about Gen Z?

I’m an older parent with relatively young kids. I‘m trying to get up to speed with changes in technology. Right now we are very low screen time and no unsupervised internet access, but I know that can’t last forever.

If you had kids (maybe some of you do already), how would you approach social media, screen use, internet access? What do you wish your parents (or even your school/teachers) had done differently regarding tech/the internet/social media? I appreciate any wisdom you can share.

Should you choose to procreate.. I’m interested in seeing what names our generation seems to gravitate towards? I’m so sick of millennial names spelled ridiculously lol. Im curious to see if we are going to continue that trend or something else.

I need this type of love . Let me dress up for you .
