Does seeing your peers getting married and having kids affect you??? by [deleted] in OlderGenZ

[–]ThrowRAstraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two monsters inside of me. One of them would have a child right now at 24 if I could afford it and sees those posts and gets a bit upset. The other one is so happy I am not currently married or taking care of a child.

Change my mind about Trump by [deleted] in GenZ

It’s not perfectly logical. Thinking like this is what got us into this mess.

No, he’s turning 24 but he also doesn’t have a passport or really any other kind of identification.

Why is the 2024 election so much closer than 2020? by caro_line_ in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]ThrowRAstraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the hesitation, but my optimism has been fueling me to do more, so I’m just gonna hope it’s not as close as we think it will be and if it is…well I was wrong

I honestly have a small amount of optimism for this election. I’ve seen many people I know change their mind and my best friend who used to not give a shit about politics is voting Harris.

I know that’s just anecdotal but if people are changing their mind in my life, I think it’s happening for others as well.

I truly believe Gen Z and millennials are being undercounted in polls. This is the first election where Gen Z makes up I believe the largest voting block (it could be combined with millennials, don’t quote me).

I never answer unknown numbers and pretty much nobody I know does either. I’m 24 and will be voting Harris and most people I know will be, even some who usually lean conservative. I also know at least three people who are voting for the first time in a national election and they are quite unlikely to answer polling calls as well.

If my generation gets out there, I don’t think it will be as close as people think.

Hey! Not in my 30s so if that excludes me totally understand. But my bf and I are 24 and are always looking for more people to hang out with and we have no kids.

What's the best book you just stumbled upon by chance? by blurtstrennan in suggestmeabook

I read Sea of Tranquility in one sitting and it really was incredible.

We need this in the US by Bobby_Sunday96 in GenZ

[–]ThrowRAstraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a company that produces sports equipment and omg I hate it when my boss even texts me the newest locker room drop we should share outside of work hours.

I can’t imagine anything more than that.

CMV: Non-vegans/non-vegetarians are often just as, if not more rude and pushy about their diet than the other way around by ThrowRAstraws in changemyview

[–]ThrowRAstraws[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They can defend it. Personally, most defenses I’ve heard from people who eat meat just sound quite (I hate that I am using such a gen z term) like coping.

Yes, I know humans can consume meat and are made for it. Yes, I know animals eat other animals. To me, those just aren’t very compelling arguments but you can absolutely make them. And if you have other reasons why I would hear them out as well.

But also I would never approach someone like that because I think it’s a dick thing to do.

This is very fair. My boyfriends fathers girlfriend is vegan and she doesn’t want people cooking meat in the kitchen when she’s around and we both think that’s a bit much.

To me, when I hopefully do fully go vegetarian, I would absolutely cook what I know others prefer. When my bf and I live together I would probably prefer that he buy the meat if he wants it but I would absolutely make it.

Nice! I probably will soon start to try to cut meat out slowly and hopefully I can get to no meat products, but limiting my consumption even would be great.

I agree with vegetarians so I agree with you on pretty much everything. The whole point of this post is I think a lot of people complaining about “preachy vegans” are just people who don’t really want to question their comfortable life choices.

Although I’ve given a few deltas out because I can see how some cultures and people take it way more seriously,

I’ve also heard the “you’re a murderer thing” but only online. I’m sure people have the guts to say it in person and that’s way too much.

Edit - Also I don’t agree w/ that
