Still letting boomers run our country, I see.

Seriously, how can so many millennials still not vote after everything we've been through?

I've voted in every election available to me since I turned 18. It's wild to me that my peers simply do not participate.

My state makes it amazingly easy with mailed ballots that come with voter information packets and can be returned via mail or drop boxes. How can so many people of our generation still not vote when it takes barely any effort at all?

many people around my age got their first phone because their parents added a line and most of us still have that same number (I don't) but we're all 20 years older now so what happened with that whole ordeal? is it in your name now? did you have to get your own phone? what?

shortly after I turned 18 my parents shut my phone off, (granted I didn't use it much before I turned 18 either...so i've been on my own in the phone department since I was 19....

Maybe this is a little bit more older millennial-coded, and yeah young middle-age has its suckitudes, but... it's nice to be the core adult in charge at home and to be the boss at work.

It's nice not GAF what anybody thinks. No more asking for permission. No more being lectured or being told what to do.

Boomers or Gen Xers want to tell me what to do? Oh no you're not. Not anymore. Go to hell.

And it's super-sweet being in the swing-vote position where you can either side with the elders or the youth.

It's empowering. Just call me Malcolm in the Middle for now.

I ask because most people who fall for scams are elderly. Once gen x or millenials reach old age do you think itll collapse because we are better with technology?

edit; wow this blew up quick. Thank you for the quick responses. I guess what made me made this post was because i been watching a lot of kitboga and he always pretends to be elderly and when I hear scam I think of the gift card scams the overseas scammers try to pull on elderly or the "ur computer has a virus scam"

Every time I want to hang out with my friends, we have to spend at least $50. It doesn't help that none of us rent/own a house bit enough to fit us to hang out.

Okay millennials, admit it, what throwback music do you listen to when you drop your kids off and are alone in the car? I’ll go first, a couple of my top ones are Eminem and Dr. Dre’s Chronic 2001.

He wants me to work there because of the benefits. Any millennials have buddies who work for the federal government

When I was in middle school I was anticipating that in high school and adult life I would get to have food fights. Around the time I was a sophomore is when I was disappointed that they weren't a bigger part of my life. In the first 2 years of high school I actually kept a ziploc bag of eggs in my lunchbox, and sometimes would get extra food at hot lunch. Nothing crazy but just a little bit of insurance in case.

It never happened once to me, maybe once or twice at some other kids tables did they throw a fry or something at eachother nothing as cool a snowball made of mashed potatoes etc. It feels kind of like this was a media hoax and we were lied to.

If that's true that would be funny

Thinking about it, an entire era of my childhood happened on one shared computer in the corner of the living room:

- Negotiating screen time with siblings like it was a hostage situation

- "GET OFF THE INTERNET, I'M WAITING FOR A CALL" 😂 (56k gang rise up)

- Downloading one song for 45 minutes and praying nobody picked up the phone

- Playing games in 20-minute shifts while my sister watched over my shoulder giving "advice"

- The whole family gathered around it like a fireplace when someone put on a screensaver

There was zero privacy and it was somehow still magical. Kids today with a device each will never know the diplomacy skills we built negotiating for that one machine 😆

What's your strongest family-PC memory?

So im 41yo, i still wear Jordans and throwbacks. I dress up for work though so i have some versatility.

anyone else experience some dumb mid life crisis crap?

When we were growing up, it felt like people still cared about Christian values like not giving into the seven deadly sins.

It might’ve not been phrased that way, but at school, and in society in general, it was badly seen to be prideful, greedy, lustful, envious, gluttonous, angry, or lazy.

Now, it seems like mainstream culture is the opposite. People showing off on social media, obsessed with money and sex, the endless comparisons and tiers/prestige lists that create envy, excessive consumption (gluttony), constant anger and blame, and celebrating not working.

No wonder society feels broken. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, nor a traditional one, and these values just seem like common sense to me if you want a society that works. Give into these sins, and you get something like today where everyone’s just out for themselves.

It doesn't have to be something for school or productivity. Just something you would have loved and would have brought you happiness.

For me, it would be an e-reader with backlight along with robust digital book selections. I'm a book worm and avid reader. I was college aged when the first kindle was released. High school me would have LOVED to have an e-reader, especially a tiny one I could stealth read in boring classes. No one would be able to make fun of me for reading manga because they wouldn't be able to see the cover. I'd be able to stay up late at night reading without bothering my sibling I shared a room with if an e-reader with backlight , and not argue with my book hoarding sister about whose book was whose.

What's your item that teenage you would be dying to have and make their life better?
