2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

The worst part is, timeline-wise, still feeling like a teenager. Except physically stuff hurts more and memento mori is more of a thing now.
We've been set back so many times!
I feel like I'm forever working harder and thinking smarter and still trapped behind never really "being an adult".
And by the time we finally feel like we're actually starting our lives, they'll have already been mostly robbed from us.
Gen Z here, basically the same shit as millenials except I don't even remember there being anything else; not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. Kinda worried if this keeps going on more and more generations will have experienced nothing else and come to see it as normal.
Most millennial's don't remember anything else either. What we had were parents that still believed in the "American dream" but weren't living it themselves and a generation before us that saw the writing on the wall, but eventually checked out of the fight. Now Gen Z and A have a generation to look to that is still fighting, but has lost steam because we're too bogged down with surviving while raising kids or working ourselves to death. We're exhausted, and on our last leg, so we're all pretty much counting on the younger generations (who have less to risk/lose) to pickup that torch. Thankfully, younger generations are realizing that voting only gets us so far, and mass civil disobedience is a far more affective strategy for real systemic change.
I'm super impressed with our young people and I'm with y'all 100% of the way!
We need to focus on buying land instead of real estate.
