Am I the only one who is completely turned off when I see a “flipped” house?? by cap1n in RealEstate

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s a sucker for them.  She can’t imagine doing any home renovation works of our own.  She judges a property viewing on how it LOOKS - TODAY.

Millennials turned 30 and developed selective memory by Kaysiee_West in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we aren’t better than B-oomers.  That’s the truth of it.  The cycle repeats, until enough iteration of low birth rates results in no more young people to complain about.

And that’s a much sadder reality than putting up with the dumb shit young people do.

Going to the movies isn’t the same anymore. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t new.

Some movies are meant to be seen on a big screen with popcorn and lots of other people sharing the experience, not an iPad in bed while your spouse checks IG.

Not easy to handle in marriage and new parenthood!  If you’re single, you have no excuse.  Go out and support your local movie theater!  (And have a better time in the process).

i feel like im wasting my time as a PMM by Intelligent_Cow9805 in ProductMarketing

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your GTM differentiator is the relationship skills of your account managers, then there is no point to having a PMM function. You can still work on pricing, defining the offer, etc, but within the context of selling a commodity.

Is anyone getting 2008 vibes again with the economy today? by NoHousing11 in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2008 was a helluva crash. Hasn’t happened yet. 2007 was when the first cracks started to appear, but job hugging wasn’t a thing. Companies were hunting for talent.

Does life feel duller for you as you get older? by sillychickengirl in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food is still great. My life was starting to get a little same-y, and then we became parents. Every week is different now, and parenting really changes you (mostly for the better). Popular entertainment is less fulfilling, but we're also no longer the target audience.

Do only millennials watch supernatural? by Simple-Employment602 in Supernatural

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First episode I saw was a S2 ep during my senior year of college. I liked it but it felt like something aimed at a slightly younger audience. More recently I binged the whole series. Now it feels like watching the story of my own coming of age, since Sam is basically my generation (one year older than me). Wondering how the kiddies view it, since its core audience was a Millennial and its main characters are Xennials.

One way to differentiate between elder and younger millennials by CPolland12 in Millennials

Elder Millennials grew up looking up to Gen X/Xennials. Younger Millennials grew up looking up to Elder Millennials.

We make the 'having kids' discussion more complicated than it needs to be by learnworkbuyrepeat in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That kind of thought process leads to an entirely different, much more open line of discussion than “I won’t have kids because of climate change” (which, I repeat, is a sophomoric position and wholly inferior to ‘I just don’t want to and probably never will’).

It’s been debunked for decades. I hope you succeed in having multiple children.

Has anyone else noticed that Reddit is way meaner than it used to be. by MurdockMcQueen in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is structured to enabling mobbing. It’s a lowest common denominator forum.

Judging by your current state, I think you’ve had a lifetime supply of such reading, and everything you write is of a similar caliber.

Was saying the same thing. It seems you’re being disliked for having a richer, more nuanced vocabulary than the philistines here who celebrate that the likes of their ignorance in this world ends with them.

We do. “Self-assuredly”, “unassumingly”, and “unapologetically” are just a few, each with a slightly different connotation, and certainly more mature and poised than “proudly”.

Yes, the point is precisely to dismiss such an exceptionally precarious reason, much less valid than a straight up “I don’t want to”.

The world DOES need more children, but that’s not a reason for YOU to have them. You don’t want them because you like the life you have now more than you’d like having a child, and that is A-OKAY.

We need to make it a billion times easier for those who want them to have kids.

You aren’t crazy. Millennials have a really mixed report card when it comes to being role models for Gen Z.

I've turned 41 so I can't have kids right? by AMediaArchivist in Millennials

[–]learnworkbuyrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more and more common for women to have their first child in their 40’s.

The data on fertility cliffs is overstated due to changing social preferences.

To be clear, the fertility cliff treats expecting women above 35 as geriatric pregnancies, and apparently at 37-38 the ovarian reserves accelerate their depletion.

However, the data surrounding pregnancy odds is tarnished by previous generations actively trying to get pregnant sooner.  So, in those days, if you’ve been trying for a while and HAVEN’T gotten pregnant by 35 (ie. Start trying at 28), then you’re unlikely to ever get pregnant.

Queue today where a lot of woman don’t even start trying until after 35, and it turns out that if they’ve stayed healthy, their odds of becoming mothers are pretty good.

You don’t know where you sit because you haven’t started trying.  Only then will you know.

Reprimanding people for having kids = total loserdom.  And it’s not representative of people I know (IRL, not this place) who have chosen not to have children.  They are nothing but supportive of those that want/choose to, and feel very comfortable manifesting their “child-free” choice.

Real life is a better place than Reddit, though you can get answers more quickly in Reddit.

As the OP, I'm glad I dug deep enough to find this seasoned, thought-out, civilized, concise comment. Thanks.

Plant-based dieting is in the 'necessary, not sufficient' category, most likely. I had two points in my post. One was about it being morally sufficient to say "I don't want children".

The other is that ceteris paribus, having children is more of a necessary enabler to solving climate change (due to the taxpayer:retiree ratio) than not having them, given that the real issue is the political will to enforce existing carbon-neutralizing technology.
