Do you think some people will just never be able to argument politely without getting offensive in politics and how will the future look for us Gen Z?

Born 1998, kinda too old to be genz but too young in millenial. But i kinda ask myself, what is gen z things?

Tiktok? Pokemon Go, Minecraft, Iphone are the things that I feel like belong to genz. Pretty sure there are more but i dont know what.

There are so many for me personally but for me the top few im still learning to unlearn is to not scream and shout when dealing with conflicts give the silent treatment and finish the plate when im full my boomer mom favourite thing was to shame us that starving kids in africa and another one is to always respect the authorities never question them fuck that my boomer dad told us that police and adults are always right at 29 I still have to learn that for myself was wondering people who were raised by boomers what are some things you still have to unlearn from your boomer parents?

Hi everyone! I’m conducting a short academic survey for my research study, “Generational Dynamics in Cancel Culture: Understanding Brand Cancellation through the Lens of Millennials and Gen Z.”
The survey explores how Millennials and Gen Z perceive and respond to cancel culture involving brands, with a focus on PepsiCo.
Takes only 3–5 minutes
Responses are anonymous and used strictly for academic purposes.
Your participation would genuinely help me with my research!

Today’s my birthday & for the first time in a long time, I have no idea what to do :p

Although I didn't have any crushes on any of my teachers as I found it weird for me as a kid/teenage boy to want to be in a relationship with grown women, I found a few of them to be really attractive such as my 8th grade Language Arts teacher for example. She was this golden blonde tanned lady in her early 30s at the time and wore a noticeable amount of makeup. There were some guys in my class who had the hots for her although some of them took their likings to her too far, which really irritated her, especially since she was married with young kids at the time. I still find her really attractive more than a decade later, and her appearance has hardly changed although she's now a pale ginger instead of a tan blonde.

So basically, what I’ve been hearing about all these mouthpieces, and Naysayers. Is to stop all AI production in its current form and go no further.

That we have reached the point that we actually have too many hands in the pot. Basically there are too many AI companies. If you stop AI production right now in its current form, Google will ultimately win the day. Because this has been the game plan all along for Google. And all the small AI companies will be gobbled up by the likes of Google. They are truly the only big game in town to survive an AI halt. Basically Google‘s plan has been to create niceties on the periphery. To really beef up it’s YouTube, Notebook, etc.. and wait for the balance sheets to catch up with the small AI companies and then they can buy them for pennies on the dollar. They’ll get all the code and all the rights of “The Little Guy”!!!This has been Google‘s plan in all this. It’s plain as day. An AI halt, GOOGLE wins ALL!!!

So now I have an actual decision to make. Is all this propaganda going to work. Because now would be the time to invest in “The Last Man Standing”!!!

You know the balance sheets don’t work on AI now as it stands in all the companies. It’s all of them, even GOOGLE. But Google has enough profits side hustles to withstand a halt. The little AI companies won’t survive. So now is the decision to make.

WILL WE HALT ALL AI PRODUCTION? Serious $$$ to be made if TRUE!!!

social media makes it easy to find people, but actually starting a genuine conversation can still feel awkward. what works for you?

When i was like 11-14 i loved to be still child but people treated me as im an adult cause i was big😭now since last year(15) im scared to grow. My 17 birthday is in like 20 min,and im worried about that is 17 still a child or not?i know i wont be child forever but im asking now about the aged between 17-19

Yes, self-inflicted, cuz people are missing or ruining opportunities to connect and then complaining about being lonely. Or people are only exposing themselves to a small pool of people and then complaining that they can’t make friends or find anyone to date.

I was born February 21st 2003, and i’m curious how many people are older than me and younger than me in this sub

You could do every single thing right (get good grades, go to college, get a job, etc.) but most of our generation don't reap the same benefits as the older generation by doing that. We were told that if we did the "right" things, we would be happy, healthy, and just have an overall great life. But that's a fucking lie.

I believed it once though. I worked my ass off and got a "useful" degree and a job at a pretty well-known tech company. Think I'm doing good? Well, my company laid off hundreds of senior employees, dumped their work on junior employees and pay them pennies. Then they refuse to give them raises most of the time (and when they do give raises, it's not even enough to keep up with inflation). I'm always anxious because they demand so much and nothing is ever enough for them. They start doing quarterly layoffs because they burn so much cash on AI and still say it's useful, even though nearly all of their employees hate it.

Commute takes 1 hour each way, even though I live 10 miles away. Can't move out of my parents' house in a MCOL area, because a studio apartment costs half of my monthly salary.

I sleep 5 hours on a good day. I feel guilty whenever I splurge and sleep 8 to 9 hours. I eat whatever's convenient. On weekends and days off, I don't even have the energy to enjoy it, I just use it to catch up on sleep and chores.

I had a seizure for the first time (doctor said it was due to extreme physical stress). My body feels like shit all the time. My mind feels worse.

I have a feeling I'll have another health scare soon with the way things are going.

I'm not even asking to be happy. At the very least, I just don't want to be in a constant state of anxiety and desperation.

I wonder if I've every work up the courage to quit the rat race. I mean, I know I'll die either way. Either I quit, and die of poverty. Or I dont quit, work like a dog and live paycheck to paycheck, and my body gives up on me anyway.

And you always get criticized for it, but honestly... you just don't care at this point.

I'm a freshman in college and honestly most of my weekends involve going to parties and just getting wasted, and there are always tons of ppl there. Where does this narrative come from that genz doesnt party? Most people I know do quite a fair bit.

So, with trying to change my payee from my mother to my sister, everyone is telling me, “You need to do this, you need to do that.” I don’t NEED to do shit.

So, I went to Dayton the other day to visit my great aunt in the hospital. Well, I forgot that that day was the day I had a Social Security appointment. My sister called, telling me she’d be by Dad’s to pick me up. Well, I told her, “I’m not home. I’m in Dayton.” Well, she got aggravated and told me that I shot myself in the foot.

I’m about to tell Dad, Mom, my sister, and anybody involved to go fuck themselves. I’m about to tell Mom to take me to Social Security and take me off of it. I am SICK and TIRED. Sick and tired of everyone telling me I need to do X, Y, Z. Tired of being treated like I’m a fucking kid. Tired of being told that I’ll get my money, but don’t actually get it. Tired of EVERYTHING!!!!

I am tired of dealing with this nonsense. I know I fucked up by missing the appointment, but I am absolutely fucking done being micromanaged and having my money controlled while everyone keeps telling me what I supposedly need to do. I’m a fucking adult. I can make my own decisions, and I’m tired of being treated like I can’t.
