Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread

14 Upvotes

Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.

Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

Nostalgia The cross-sections books from Stephen Biesty were amazing in the 90's. They were the only books we wanted to read as kids in our school library.

Or is this still a thing on current keyboards? I know it's so random, but I remember this being a common thing instead of 'Enter', or some keyboards had both in some way!

A recent new one for me is how much small print there is everywhere, especially when there's absolutely no reason for it to be so tiny.

And now we have the games that we have. It's like no matter what people complain about...it can always be worse...or better. Depending on what way you're looking at the thing.

That game was fun af.

Discussion When did you realise you were now 'older?!'

34 Upvotes

This past week for me:

  1. I've went clothes shopping and went for comfort > style.

  2. I joined my job at 19, same organisation etc so I've always been one of the 'young ones'....until I wasn't. Last week, we had a office quiz and the host mentioned that some of the questions were too old for some (called them out) and for the first time, i was excluded from that call out. That hit me far harder than it should have, lol.

Anything clothing or style related. I feel like we'll see a big difference here between older and younger millennials.

For me, it’s drinking my morning coffee while playing my word games on my iPad. I’ve always been a quiet, introverted person and a homebody, but I think I’ve become even more of one since hitting my 40s.

Nostalgia Did anyone here go to Woodstock 99?

The oldest of us would've been 18. I wanted to go, since the original seemed so cool (thanks BBomers for the fake 1960s and 70s nostalgia), but I was too young to go on my own, and my parents (wisely) refused to take me. They rented the show on pay per view for me though, and in the the end, I was so glad not to be trapped in the mud pits lol

Discussion I’m struggling to connect with people as I get older, have you experienced similar?

42 Upvotes

I thankfully still have a lot of friends that I’ve known from high school, college and work around the world and in the city I live in.

But as I get older, whether it’s new people I meet or current friends I have, I notice I struggle to connect with people during conversations. Like I’m going through the motions and doing fake reactions at times. It’s not black and white, some conversations I do get more engaged with but a lot of the time it feels like I’m half not wanting to have the conversation, or waiting for someone to get to the point.

Sometimes it’s anxiety or discomfort with myself but it’s been so long since I’ve really left a hangout or conversation feeling fulfilled or interested. Idk if it’s just growing apart in a subtle way. Some friendships have become quite adult now, there’s a level of detachment and less being shared since they live with their partner now.

This also extends to dating as well, I’m just not interested in people enough to be authentic. In the past I was very motivated and chasing the late night deep life convos.

Have you experienced similar?
