  • And look at all the other dates others are giving me. They’re not the same as yours. THATS my point. No one actually agrees on the dates and at this point, it’s expanded to include other generations.

    Yet I have 10 different people spouting different dates and all telling me I’m wrong. None of you see that you’re the exact point I was making. Everyone tries to shove in some extra years before or after.

    Thank you, someone who gets it. The definition has expanded so much it’s essentially meaningless now.

    When I grew up and the term was first coined, it refered to the generation coming after mine. It was literally “what will we call this next generation? Well, they’re growing up during the turn of the millennium…”. Then suddenly years later it included my generation. Then suddenly it includes the generation before me? When really it’s just a lazy replacement for “kids these days”.

    Because every other “generation” is about 10 years and yet somehow “Millennials” are an almost 25 year gap. Notice how it’s “Older Millennial, younger millennial, etc”. You don’t use those qualifiers with the other generations because they are appropriately sized.

    Millennials should be 2-3 named generations. It currently refers to 90s kids, any kids alive when 2000 happened, and early Aughts kids(probably because the last name sucked and no one wanted to use it).





  • Except this doesn’t make me care about oil one damn bit. What I do care about it harsh penalties for the perpetrators(including community service and paying for the damage to be undone) and protecting heritage sites like this from other shitty humans. Its not activism, it’s vandalism. It has nothing to do with oil. It would be the same as setting the Mona Lisa on fire and screaming about oil. It’s just unhinged.











  • Cool, that wasn’t this.

    They used company computers to do another companies work. That’s theft. Just like you want to comment on wage theft and the like, this is employee theft. Now, if you want to argue that it’s justified, that’s one thing. But don’t reframe this as “well they were just doing nothing anyways”. No, they used computers and resources that explicitly weren’t theirs for their own benefit. Sounds A LOT like the wage theft you want to complain about when it’s an employer doing it, but suddenly it’s ok when the tables are turned. Nah, it’s still an immoral act.
