Zoomer fren asked why millennials are like this. After all, cohabitation is dumb and we should know better, so why are we so millennial about everything?
My answer:
Imagine an entire generation gets taught to play chicken on the railroad tracks and eat moldy bread and drink curdled milk and to snort asbestos whenever they get a cold. Every time someone says "hey, don't do that," the teachers rise up to scream at that guy and shut him down, so now a bunch of this generation gets horrified because they're getting sick and getting hit by trains.
That's my generation. We are this way because we were taught to be this way. Zoomers have the benefit of watching us live up to it and get burned; they get to learn from the mistakes we were told to make.-

@SuperLutheran I usually put it like this-
"Imagine a generation that was raised on sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. And that generation had babies.
And since the previous generation was raised to be egotistical degenerates, what chance did their children have?"
I hope it doesn't get worse before it gets better, especially since everyone has access to a world of information in their pocket to see what kind of damage this has caused.Kenny Blankenship likes this. -

@SuperLutheran At least we are at a stage where some young folks are asking "Why is everything getting worse?"
A problem has to be noticed before it can be remedied.Kenny Blankenship likes this. -

@NecroHole I regret to inform you that despite the cautionary tales provided by previous generations, a whole lot of zoomies are going "wow that looks like fun!" There's still time for things to get marginally worse. Kenny Blankenship likes this.
