It’s for real and it’s the future, no matter what clown-ass MAGAt living-in-1978 disphits think.
The most significant reason that 18 year olds don't know what they want and can't function as adults is that, up to that point, they have not been given or allowed any responsibility.
The rationalization for this is that they "aren't mature", as if maturity magically happens atโฆ https://t.co/kTw15glDB0

Exactly. I was already a full-on adult at 10 years old.
Because of how Gen Z is not allowed to mature, many of them are functionally small children at even 30-35 years old. Which is absurd. This should’ve never been allowed to happen. But it did.
Why is that when men talk to women we always are presumed to have some sort of evil thing we want, while when women talk to men no such base desire is presumed?
First of all, part of the problem is that men’s sexuality in general is assumed to be deviant and undesirable by its very nature. Second, ladies, most of y’all just aren’t that special. Get over yourselves, fuck.
When I ask you to move out of the way so I can get to the damn butter in the Albertson’s, I just want the damn butter. Trust.
Over the past few years, my family and I spent a month in Helsinki and a month in Singapore. Helsinki obviously has low crime, but there was a qualitative difference between the two. Singaporeโs near zero crime unlocks **so much.** I did not anticipate how wonderful it is. https://t.co/0wQ6l9NMtP

Japan also has very low crime. Used to have even lower.
I remember being utterly shocked when an American woman who had visited there told me that if she got tired in Japan while she was backpacking through the country, even in an urban area she’d lean up against a building and get some sleep. Not a single soul bothered her even a little bit.
No one would or could do that in the US. You’d be robbed, attacked, or far worse.
Why the liberals think we should just accept a whole lot of street crime for “equity” or whatever bullshit I will never understand nor agree with.
I just received the finalized version of a deliverable for the really huge project I did almost completely by myself at work. This beast of an effort will directly lead to millions more in revenue possibility (and actuality) over the next few years.
And no one even said “Thank You” or “Congratulations” or anything. This is the project I mentioned that would normally be done by 8-10 people and I did it all on my own. I don’t normally need kudos other than a fat paycheck but man, I sacrificed nearly a year of my life to this damn thing. And no one seems to really care.
First year IT Support and I’m treated like a dog
This is common in IT. It’s probably even worse if you’re a woman (as this poster is).
Most people see anyone in IT — no matter their title or role — as the computer janitor/servant who should be completely subservient and willing to do whatever bullshit no matter how unrelated to the job or what the business needs. I’ve seen it over and over again. And I’ve lived it.
There’s some good advice in that thread (as well as some bad). Her boss should be doing a much better job of having her back. If someone treated one of my people like that, I’d be raising hell and blowing up the CEO’s inbox and Slack. That’s what’s a quality boss does.
And it never ends! I make well more than $100 an hour and I still spend time helping people unmute their headset. Or plug in a USB thumbdrive correctly.
Makes no damn sense.
The left’s tendency when you achieve something to say, “Well, that was easy for you but so-and-so couldn’t have done that for [purportedly good and noble reasons].”
First of all, no, it wasn’t in fact easy. It was not easy to grow up poor in rural North Florida and then go on to be an active paratrooper for five years. In no way could anything about that be described as “easy.” Why react that way? Do they really believe that everything anyone achieves or fails to achieve is due to social structures only? Because I do not and I’m 100% for more social support and programs where they make sense.
Second, this isn’t “give a crap about some loser shit” facility. Go down the road for that. They can help you. We don’t do that here.
The Right sees it as bullying if you tell them they should care about other people and want those people to do well as it inevitably helps them too.
The Left sees it as bullying if you tell them that they can choose not to be a large loathsome loser and it is in fact possible to make their life better through their own effort.
What a world.
I love cherry Coke Zero, but when I tried raspberry Coke Zero in the UK I almost hurled. That was some of the most disgusting crap imaginable.
I thought it’d be similar to the cherry variant, but instead it tasted like a My Little Pony exploded in a vat of sweetened cat barf. Do not drink. Do not buy. Avoid.
My friend tried it and she could not even stand a sip of it, so it was not just me.
๐ Hi! 40-year-old sex worker here. It's actually very creepy and misogynist to find women younger than me attractive. Let's DO BETTER and stop fetishizing youth (women who are exactly my age minus one day) https://t.co/DZyJYyTYvm

I have no idea who the fuck Lil Tay is and have never gone to any OnlyFans site, but this absolutely fucking nails the nature of female intrasexual competition and why the “age gap” crap is full-on nonsense.
I know it’s popular to cast aspersions on Gen Z (I do it myself), but that’s very normal amount of time in which to expect a promotion from entry level. If I were in an entry-level role and I had not been promoted after two years, I’d be looking elsewhere. After two years you’re no longer entry level. Even if it’s just a bump from, say, tier 1 helpdesk to tier 2, two years is well more than enough time to learn a job and all its ins and outs. An exceptional person can do it in 9-12 months and also should be promoted.
This has always been true, by the way; this is not some weird Gen Z expectation.

Goddamn. Pure evil.
The left and right are both full of clownishly absurd degrowthers. They just express it differently, as I’ve already observed. But that is next-level desire for the void.
