i dont get wearing rings. i have a hard enough time wearing a wedding band let alone multiple rings.

Jewelry on men is strange as fuck. A man should wear a wedding ring and a watch, that's it. Never understood how some dudes have ear rings, wrist bands, chains and other crap.

What about cock rings? Asking for the homies.

You can tell them homies that cock rings are ok. Do they work, and what size should I go for? Asking for the homies, of course.

Tell the homies to start at 2 In circ and size up or down in 1/8th increments. If it gets stuck my homie has a fresca in the fridge. Thats what the homies who used to work at the gay adult shop on 13th and Pike told me. Good luck to your homies...

I respect stupid ass rap jewelry like this, but only on rappers. Other than that, I agree with kobrakai. Jewelry is kinda stupid.

Do any Canadians know what Sternum Truck Co. is? I don't get it. Doesn't seem like a truck company since there are no trucks for sale on their site, just a sold-out shirt.

Going "out" on Friday, Saturday, or any night for that matter.

I back this one big time. I'm not sure when going to a bar or any other social gathering that usually involves booze became "going out," but I'm not a fan of that description and how widely spread it seems to be either.

[j....soy.....]

Nothing wrong with booze and drugs but I don't party......

Alcohol is one of the worst drugs in terms of how easy it is to abuse, as well as how easy it is to obtain. I despise whoever came up with: “Drugs AND alcohol.”

drugs : alcohol ::
concrete : cement

Just out of curiosity, what is, “Going out,” supposed to mean? The only other way I’ve ever heard it being used is for date nights.

[iKobrakai]

No idea what it means but judging by my white middle class co-workers it is drinking mid range wine at some boring place while talking shit about white middle class co-workers that are not present.

Then again, according to my super hot 24 years old friend Rebecca, it consists of going to the latest hot club, taking selfies and only talking to your girl friends and looking like a stuck up bitch.

Back when I was not as washed up as I am now, it meant cocaine, white girls, button up shirts, getting dissed by bitches like Rebecca, and alcohol.

Now a days I stay at home and avoid social interaction.

a lot of people spend their whole lives “going out.” bars, restaurants, concerts, shows, sightseeing, beaches, museums, hiking, clubs, sports, day trips, pointless vacations, weddings, seminars, events, gatherings, conferences, disneyland, camping, barbecuing, etc. it’s like their purpose in life. “go out and do something” basically means do something but nothing in particular to pass the time and distract yourself.

What about skating?  You sound like you should get into surfing.  Because I feel life might be 'about the dance'.  "Guitar string strung too loose won't play and too tight it'll break."

I don’t get how so many millennials have gone into decent jobs without breaking a sweat. All the boomers retiring now maybe? More focused education? I probably knew 2 classmates who went from school to jobs that were NOT total fucking trash when we graduated.



Also, I don’t get how so many millennials have so much money in general. I know this is related to the jobs thing but the number of young people in $450k+  houses around me is still hard to understand.

its probably all about who they know. what type of jobs are you talking about? i know in my industry (tech) there is so much job hopping by millenials that there are always jobs open it seems. a few years ago i was interviewing at facebook and the interviewers basically looked down at me because i had been at my company for so many years instead of constantly moving on.

everyone i know who graduated with a business degree is wiping their ass with cash. everyone else hardly has any cash at all (myself included).

thats a pretty big generalization, but close enough to the truth of what I've seen with my peers.

[ChuckRamone]

Millennials also tend to be more fiscally conservative and into investing and shit, which is different from previous generations. Part of it probably has to do with all the shit they got for being supposedly helpless and dependent.

wow what a terribly sad existence that must be.

Transhumanism and Ray Kurzweil. Virtual Reality.

I like watching Black Mirror and Electric Dreams though...

i hate the fact that im a millennial and being told by someone older than me that they hate millenials

[slippy]

I totally know what you mean, I'm not saying there aren't some REAL piece of shit people in my age range but it's like these older groups forget there was a similar if not identical stigma when they were young.  It's hardly ever referred to (in my experience) that baby boomers were commonly called the "Me Generation" by their elders, being seen as too narcissistic.

If you're raised with the internet, spend three years at a job you dislike, and are flooded with jobs all over the country that pay more or are more interesting it's hard to want to stay put.  Combined with the fact that you may be renting, relocating for some fresh air shouldn't be a negative quality of an entire generation.  It should be a challenge to companies that have been doing the same things for their employees to adapt and work to keep talent in.

But hey, what do I know, I'm a millennial Slapping from work!

If it comes out of the mouth of a baby boomer be sure to tell them to hurry up and die.....
