Millennials be like: Let’s feed into generational hate we learned from the boomers.
Wasnt the millennial hate the first post?
Some zoomers are also guilty of generational hate.
Yeah when zoomers first showed up to adulthood I remember being surprised when they started ripping on Millennials first (making fun of our love of gifs, single panel memes, Harry Potter, etc.). It was a “what he say fuck me for?” moment and it’s been going on ever since.
My local Viking bar no longer has axe throwing, but they still serve Icelandic White Ale so it’s still OK, I guess.
I absolutely have been drunk and thrown an axe . Who hasn’t?
I hate them both. I wish the silent generation was still alive
They are, they’re Biden’s peers
Have fun dying your Easter potatoes
Do you think pointing out that Biden is literally part of the Silent Generation makes someone a conservative?
Yes. When there was no mention of politics at all in the conversation and then you go, “Biden also old af.”
I hate them both. I wish the silent generation was still alive
Not my fault you all had shitty grandparents
Definitely no politics there
🤡
wtf are you talking about? Are you illiterate? Do you think by “both” I meant US political parties? How far down the rabbit hole are you fuckknuckle?
i don’t think this is a generational thing tbh
I knew it, I’m just a zoomer born early.
As much as the whole generation thing is made up, sometimes being a zillenial (late millennial/early gen z) really makes one feel left out of everything
Being old millennial is weird too, most millennials think I grew up in the 50s compared to their life experience. The generation gap between me and my dad is what kind of manual car with a carburetor and hand crank windows we consider ‘‘new’’ looking. But I entered the job market at EXACTLY housing bubble burst. And I was worried I’d get drafted for Iraq, but, alas it thankfully didn’t happen.
As you get older you will eventually be considered both. For example people who grew up believing they were gen X might technically be labeled millennial nows. Like there are millennials who are in their 40s
I’ll be your friend. We’ll do stuff together. let’s go smoke a doobie outside of the gas station and play with our tekdeks.
Other millennials go out??
Dang, am I a Gen Z now?
I don’t want a fucken culture war between the generations like what happened with baby boomers. Gen X forward are all fine by me, live your life, be conscientious of other people and where they’re at in life, and for shits sakes lets be open to changing our societies based on different generational challenges. The generational wars were always stoked by cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda, fuck em, stop paying them attention.
Make friends across generational and income lines. Yes, it gets awkward sometimes.
So you’re saying I should make a point of banging wom n in their mid 20s?
Not how I would have put it. I was thinking of platonic friendships
You’re right, I should have some purely physical, no strings attached flings with multiple women in their mid 20s.
No law against it, but not sure you’ve grokked the spirit of my original statement. It’s about building solidarity. I would add including across gender lines in your case.
If I were to prescribe a resolution for you this year it would be to become really good friends with 1 woman, and to fuck 1 man.
I’m serious. If you haven’t tried it already, then I think it might really shake some baggage loose for you.
I’m with you on the value of platonic female friendships. Miss me with banging s dude though. And you make a wonderful point about having intense, passionate, no strings attached sexually charged, animalistic flings with women in their mid 20s.
The shitheads writing the culture war articles and voting for Trump and his kind in greater numbers than the boomers are Gen X.
And this is why my millennial D&D group invites zoomers to join us, no better way to bridge that gap!
In my experience Millenials are super inviting to Zoomers, but not the other way around. But that could just be because they are literally slightly more mature than Gen Z.
That’s how it always is. It has nothing to do with the “generation,” but more the stage of life someone is at.
I didn’t get invited to things with people a generation or two older than me when I was younger, because I was an immature little jerk. Now I do, because my stage of life is a lot more similar to theirs now that my kids are more independent and I’ve learned to behave.
I very met some very mature Gen Z! They just happen to be the ones that don’t spend a lot of time on social media haha
I dunno if it’s maturity or just…
Look I interact with a lotta kids, and they are not alright. If you told me a large number of zoomers literally did not know how to invite their friends to real life activities, I would believe you. I’ve spoken with a lot of Zoomers who are so socially awkward they don’t seem to understand a spoken conversation. I feel like we have an obligation to invite them to stuff, just to show them that there is a world off the net that’s worth living in.
cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda
It’s not “conservatives,” it’s mainstream media in general. Mainstream media lives and dies by viewership/readership, and the thing that sells clicks/views the most is drama. Age related drama is timeless and relatively easy pickings, because it doesn’t really matter what you say about a given generation, a number of people will identify with it, a number will disagree, and everyone seems to have an opinion.
It’s incredibly stupid and a big reason why I generally avoid mainstream media, except for coverage of important regional, national, and international news.

Skip the alcohol and go to a modern laser tag arena with friends. Insanely fun. They somehow got the Halo 2/3 announcer over a massive intercom system, and they have similar games. Feels like a match from when we were kids!
Skip the alcohol
No.
Depends on the arena. The one in my area, absolutely zero chance of them ever being that cool.
Also, I wouldn’t skip the alcohol. How else would I have had a couple full bottles of sake on my 21st if I had skipped it?
We have inexpensive arcades as well, which are a ton of fun. $5 gets you about an hour of entertainment, and I wouldn’t go over 10 because you’ll probably get bored of the games before you use up your credits if you put too much on it.
Some other options:
- go karts - a little expensive for the fancy ones, so shop around
- shooting range
- trading card game nights at the game shop
These all cost money, but probably not much more than drinking, and they’re generally more enjoyable without alcohol. You can show up alone and have a great time, and there’s just enough social interaction that you won’t feel so alone.
But maybe this is my millenial side showing.
I feel called out, somehow by both.
Me too, and I’m Gen X.
I’m so sick of IPAs, my god. Can you not make anything else?
Most of CTs breweries also have a nice a stout. My favorite is the romanov bourbon barrel stout at Woodbury brewing company.
The brewery near me has more non IPAs then IPA. They usually have at least one stout or porter, an American Ale, a couple Honey ales that are very popular and a Hefeweizen, at least one fruit flavored beer and maybe two or three IPAs on tap.
IPAs are just still very popular. My pet theory is that it’s partially the alcohol content as there are a lot of double IPAs that are high in alcohol content.
I love IPA for the taste, and I wish there was more lower-alcohol ones.
Little anomaly IPA by Long Trail is one of my favorites, it’s 3.8% and 110 calories, if those are of any concern.
Oh it’s absolutely alcohol content, and a little bit of holdover from hipsterism. They also have a strong taste so it’s a good base to try out various different wacky flavor combinations.
I wish more places around here had American ales. Whenever I find a brewery that does it ends up being my favorite beer on the menu. I especially like the ones from thimble island and city steam.
I guess buying hops is a lot easier than gitting gud at brewing.
Would you like me to add some fruit juice to your beer?

You are allowed not to buy them, so far.

it’s also possible to stay home and not curl up into a ball. There are a lot of options!
IPA?

I’m a millennial who loves IPAs and this made me chuckle
International Phonetic Alphabet
I legit had this in my mind because I know nothing about beer and plenty about linguistics. “Millennials are bilabial trilling?”
Made me laugh, first time today! Thank you 😊
Isopropyl alcohol
Yes. Always keep one in my closet.
My computer gets to chug some whenever I remove the heatsink
Non-joke answer: Indian Pale Ale, a style of beer popular with a lot of homebrewers and beer enthusiasts.
thanks ^^
The cilantro of beer.
As an elder millenial I’d like to proudly declare I have never gone to and escape room or axe throwing because those would require some sort of social interaction.
I drink a lot of IPAs though, you don’t need to speak to people to do that.
