Also, millennials are the fucking children of boomers. How do they miss the fact that talking shit about their kids is literally a reflection of the failed parenting of an entire generation?!

"Participation Trophies" being my favorite example of this. Remind me again who decided to give those trophies out in the first place? Because as far as I know me and my friends weren't asking for them. In fact, I'm pretty sure all of my trophies are in a landfill somewhere.
Also something I've pointed out before is that participation trophies aren't any different from achievements or experience points in video games. I doubt it makes the kid genuinely cocky or something, but it's a nice reward system to get them a dopamine hit and keep them at doing the task. The idea of team sports is you want to build life skills, and awards like participation trophies at a young age help encourage that. Whereas introducing a harsh competitive environment at a young age might discourage it for most kids. I'm sure if you do a study on behavioural problems, you probably won't find a large gap between generations, and within a generation the participation trophy kids might have fewer issues (in no small part due to the fact that team sports are sometimes a class indicator).
This is a good point. The trophy was ostensibly never the end goal anyway, and the hyper-focus on the "reward" rather than the game itself says something.
My boss got mad at a 45yo coworker of mine and called her a "fucking millennial" It just confirmed he repeats shit he sees on Facebook lol
Horrific physical and sexual abuse were routine parts of childhood throughout human history until a couple generations ago, at best. The Boomers making their hatred of children mostly psychological is a sign of progress
If they were self critical and reflective we wouldnt be here to begin with.
This ain't my first rodeo. It's gotta be wild to feel that up in your schnozz though. You'd probably sneeze, right?
you're not gonna feel anything because basically all of the current is gonna flow through the metal
eh, not quite. The "official" start date of the millennial generation is 1981, making the oldest 39, almost 40. Typical retirement age, at the earliest, is usually considered 65 in the US. So not nearly there yet.
facts and accurate info go along way though. the only millenials retiring are the ones part of the bourgeoisie (old money, techboi's, trustfundbb's), the rest are out here dealing with the same bullshit the rest of us are. unions andf theory dont have age limits.
Would this even hurt? Would you even feel it? Wouldn't the current just pass through the ring and avoid the tissue, which is much more resistant?
