r/millenials

As a millennial dad of young kids, what is up with Gen Alpha? The oldest of them are mid-teens right now, and I’m running into these, particularly, teenage boys that are utterly unhinged. And a lot of them are the children of millennials. Did we do this?

For the first time today, I had the thought that these kids are almost adults, and how utterly screwed our society is when they reached adulthood.

It’s not that they have no social skills, it’s more like all social norms have been deleted, and replaced with sociopathy. They seem to have no concept of how to operate within decent society, and are utterly shocked when they experience the natural, negative effects of their atrocious behavior.

Is this the lingering effects of Covid? The first generation entirely born and raised in the social media age? Bad parenting? What can I do to avoid my kids turning out like this. Or maybe I’m just clutching my pearls…

Wizzys are finally coming out next week. I know so many of us have had this procedure.

I need some interesting foods to eat over the first few days that will be kind to the sockets. Helps that it’s thanksgiving in Canada this weekend. There will be turkey broth 🤤

Suggestions and recipes please fellow millennials.

I’m a shift supervisor for almost 2 years now, and the opportunity to demote myself is available. I wouldn’t be taking much of a pay cut. My shifts might change some here and there and that’s the only thing stopping me from accepting the offer.

Election day is quickly approaching, and the deadline to register is upon us.  Even if you already KNOW you are registered, I suggest taking a 30 seconds to double check.  Most (if not all) state make it trivial.  In this post I am only giving instructions for a few states, but if you look up 'check voter registration status for <my state>' you will find your way no problem.  

Arizona: https://my.arizona.vote/PortalList.aspx - Registration Deadline is Monday oct 5.  The earlier you register the less issues you will face.

Pennsylvania: https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationstatus.aspx - deadline oct 19 and there's no same day registration here, so don't wait

Georgia: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

North Carolina: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/ - deadline to register online is oct 9, but if you miss that you can still register in person during early voting.  (but you're going to have less trouble if you register early!)

Michigan: https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter - Luckily you can register at your clerk's office literally on election day if you bring proof you live there

Checking is especially important if you moved, changed your name, got married, whatever, just assume you need to check.

God hates me and should have never given me life..

If I was just born a girl, my life would have been better. But no, i have to suffer because I haven’t had surgery so I decided taking my life would be best since I can’t be how I want.. and there’s no excuse because other transwomen got surgery so if god is just gonna play with my life by letting humans withhold feminizing surgeries, then dying is better!!

Is current job you or past job in what College Degree you have? I have never used my College Degree in Criminal Justice. Since I graduated College I have only ever have had 2 jobs. My first job was working for a Private Intelligence Firm. I started to work for myself in 2018 where I test companies or government security.
