This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm a millenial who finds himself defending gen Z's attitudes all the time.
Oh they're not trying hard in school? No shit, the world is burning and getting worse.
Oh they aren't providing stellar customer service at their minimum wage job? No shit, they see how Gen X and millennials were lied to about working hard and moving up
Oh they're gambling like crazy? No shit, how else are they going to afford a home without betting big?
The Greatest Generation sold Boomers on the American Dream
Boomers used and abused it and sold Gen X a lie
Millennials were on board until they saw how Gen X was struggling
And Gen Z was born into the internet with access to information. NO SHIT they aren't buying it.
Gen Xer here and I absolutely empathize with young people who don't give a shit about providing decent customer service at their job paying less than half a living wage.
The world is a vampire sent to drain
Secret destroyers hold you up to the flames
And what do I get? For my pain?
Betrayed desires - and a piece of the game.
Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold, like old Job...
Despire all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despire all my rage I am STILL just a rat in a cage
(AKA To gen z and millenials - yeah man we fucking get it.)
