Cringy millennials mad at cringy millennial meme

Millennials are currently in “fellow kids” territory and most of them haven't realized it yet

mildly racist neoliberal TERF

Neoliberal TERF yes, but racist? What did said that was remotely racist?

I'm kind of surprised by the hate toward millennials from the younger kids. Like what the frick did we do so bad for you to hate us this much?

I really thought my generation would be considered legendary and eternally cool for being on the right side about everything.

Every time I see an adult acting infantile, saying shit like "angy" instead of angry, I want to beat their head into an unrecognizable pulp with my bare hands.

I can't stand the "uwu I'm just smol and cute hehe" shit. You're not "smol" or "heckin wholesome," you're a fully grown adult behaving like a toddler and your very existence disgusts me.

Average redditor starter pack

I think Reddit skews more towards the "smug nerd" demographic. These are the people you see all over social media, Twitter, Facebook, etc., with their overuse of emojis and dramatic overacting, trying to be all "quirky and random".

God I thought that stupid “random potato XD” shit died out back in 2012.

That shit died super fast except in the most degenerately unfunny places like reddit or 9gag where the users can't seem to move onto less shitty forms of humor. Even 4chan, which literally has a place called "Random," hated it and would tell people to get the frick back to reddit.

4Chan contains a different type of unfunny smug shit, specifically degeneratly horny ones and edgy to the point of extreme ones

Total Millennial Death

(honestly a lot of my beef with them probably has to do with them being the last gen to finish high school before total internet and social media ubiquity, and still somehow turning out as dysfunctional as they have)

ADHD, autism and depression are 99% fake, especially if from a millennial diagnosis

I'm so tired

a rapidly changing world that we were poorly prepared for.

The only thing we werent prepared for is buying a house in 2008.

But we had skillsets for everything else available to us.

But a bunch of millennials decided to keep playing pokemon, yugioh, etc, well into their 20s and 30s from 2012-2020.

Watch gay butt shows like Adventure time, then see Fin turn into Fiona and have stupid ideas like UH MAYBE I CAN DO THAT TOO!?

So now they're overgrown babies with toys and now a lifetime pharma subscription to HRT because undersexed losers think they can look like an anime girl.

Well first you can look at the reporting in those mainstream media articles. As the art of war dictates, "know thy enemy", once your finding actual studies, then trace back the studies that they reference. Look at the bios of the authors, see if the scientific community has upheld their research with peer reviewed studies from people that stand to gain nothing from the outcome of the peer reviews.

Now that you're looking at actual scientific studies, do your best to understand what is the question and answer each study is trying to solve. Confirm that by reviewing the other peer reviewed studies to see if everything matches up.

During these long and tedious tasks, you will probably want to stop, cause your brain with hurt and you'll be bogged down by information overload. This is natural, take a break and consolidate your thoughts, are what these authors claiming accurate? Are they making assumptions without supporting evidence? And supporting evidence needs to be confirming on its own. As in you can't make assumptions every confirming step.

Once you feel like you have the mental acuity to continue, press on. It's gonna be more of a slog, because let's face it, science papers are written for scientists and not us lay-men. But press on. You are not a sheep and thus you need to be able to confirm your own thoughts about the topic to not be lead astray. You'll probably feel extremely bored because none of this information generates emotion.

Once you've done all that, do the same thing for the other side. Find all the personal held beliefs you have about any topic. Watch the YouTube videos, read the other studies done. This part will be far easier, you'll probably notice that you are more engaged, your emotions will be higher, and you'll be nodding along to all of this stuff.

As a fun side test, try and film yourself watching these videos. For review later. If you're an avg person you'll see that you have all the signs of someone being sold something, obviously you'll need to step away before you watch the video of yourself, coming at it with a clear mind right?

Anywho, that's the beginning. And frankly I doubt you'll take this step because it is difficult. The hardest thing we can ever do is examine our deeply held beliefs. And to do it without the influence of others.

To be clear, I'm not doubting your ability to grow or examine yourself as a free and critical thinker, rather I doubt you will put in the effort. I refused to do it for about 15 years. Only when I unplugged from the influences that I thought were legitimate that I started to realize that both sides are feeding you trash. It is our responsibility to sort through it and make sense of this world.

Woman in the thread using millenial baby-talk to explain why she can't clean her house (or cook btw) because of her "ADHD"

Why is it that I hear of this so much less often with men? Are women more affected by these "executive dysfunction" mental illnesses or what? I feel like on population average, women have higher "executive function" (are better at organizing, cleaning, etc). Is it just a matter of point of comparison?

"Adulting" was funny until I realized a lot of people weren't joking.
