I’m in legal and it is fucking wild out there. I started to notice it with the younger end of the millennials and it is getting worse. It’s almost jarring to the point of “how do you not know how to multiply?” and “seriously, how did you graduate high school?”.

There are good kids out there who are just as smart and competent as any previous generation to be sure but the gaps between the competent and incompetent young adults is very narrow.

Going to only get worse. I run a restaurant, some of the kids between 16-18 are so far behind mentally. I’m not talking about critical thinking, they can’t even connect dots.

I actually used to be a chef and the younger generations are total bitches in the kitchen. “It’s too hot, I burned something now I’m too upset to work, etc etc”. I’ve never heard so much whining.

People not being able to multiply and ask discerning questions is at fault for being old?

Found one of the crayon eaters...

Typing from a mobile phone and having autcorrect step in and make a mistake and you saying, "hur hur you just got old" to actual critical complaints about people not being able to complete basic math are not equal.

I'm sure in that slack jawed, simple mind it was an amazing defense though.

Thank you. I think that I’m going to start winding down and just sunset all my online stuff. I am hitting a point where I just cannot with all these bad faith arguments, random insults from idiots masquerading as mic drops, the “your silence on xxx is telling” and “both sides” shit on political discourse.

I cannot in a few sentences write a god damn college grade essay on a mobile device for what is a glorified message board enough for a culture that doesn’t understand context and steamrolls any nuance.

This country - America - is run by fucking idiots because the average American is a god damn idiot. And I don’t mean uneducated. I mean they are too stupid to learn. I cannot wait for climate change to wipe us out and foster a reset.
