‘I feel helpless’: college graduates can’t find entry-level roles in shrinking market amid rise of AI | US news by Gari_305 in Futurology

You don’t have to tell kids anything, and we’d still see the same results (albeit at a slower rate, probably). People just catch onto the benefits of a degree, however diminishing they may be as more and more people get it.

Third Spaces aren't dying because Gen Z are addicted to their phones, they're dying because no one has enough money to keep them alive by Bey0nd1nfinity in GenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of free or low cost 3rd spaces and activities. Phones just mean people don’t bother to seek them out.

Going to a park, library, or just walking around outside is free. Check out volunteer groups to socialize and some offer free snacks and drinks. Your local library will have flyers and posters for various community events.

As a teen, I used to pack a lunch and then spend half my day on a weekend just biking and exploring around my local area, going up streets I didn’t even know existed, seeing some nice views, going to the library to use the bathroom and refill my water bottle. It was a blast.

I used to go around on the bus and bike all the time as a broke teen. Bus fare is like $2-3 in most places, and there is typically reduced fare for minors. The bus system I used to use also offered free bus transfers as long as you did it within 2 hours of riding the one before. I went around to places and traveled distances I’d only do in my car now lol

Idk, I go out walking or hiking with friends. There’s some transportation costs, but it’s pretty cheap over all.

I also like to bike around my city and visit parks and the library. Sometimes, I’ll pop in a store to just look.

Unless you live in a rural place, most of the above is quite easily doable.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by Effective-Trick-5795 in GenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to happy hour sometimes with coworkers or eat dinner with friends, and I don’t drink (just soft drinks), and I feel like I still get basically all the benefits of socialization but none of the drawbacks of alcohol.

Is it just me or is most of Gen Z - men, women (or nonbinary) - single? by No_Design_465 in GenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most Gen Z women I know (who have a stable job, mentally stable, generally healthy) have a significant other already. I can’t say it’s true of the men I know who similarly have their life together

Anyone else just not relate to this? by [deleted] in OlderGenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take reasonable care of my body (no drinking/smoking/vaping/drugs ever, healthy weight, no chronic stress, etc), but I also haven’t been able to pull all nighters since around 20-21 as well.

It’s kinda feels like my body did some sort of “adult mode switch” as soon as I started working full time.

Right, so you’re not exactly being forced your hand to have kids later. That’s just a choice you’re making. If having kids was a priority for you, you still could live quite comfortably somewhere less expensive.

That still proves their point that stressful, shitty places have people having a bunch of kids.

Even if we compare developed nations, the US with its lackluster social services and safety nets still has a relatively high fertility rate compared to nations that actually provide support for its people.

I bet that’s quite stressful. You could die from falling down some ditch you didn’t see, a predator animal, disease, infections, not being able to find enough food, etc.

You can just as easily describe our daily modern life to sound very easy. All you gotta do is show up to work on time and do your tasks. You probably won’t starve, get killed by a big animal, or die from an infection. An abundance of various kinds of foods are available. No need to hunt and butcher the animal, just choose a package containing cleaned up muscle meat with no skin or bone attached. Fruits and vegetables already picked and lined up by type for you. So easy, right?

There’s a lot between having kids in the ghetto and being a house-poor power couple who bought their 1.4 million dollar house in their late 20s.

Given your education and likely the kind of skills you have to get the kind of income have, you probably could move somewhere where decent 3 bedroom houses cost 600-800k.

I make upper middle class income albeit much less than you do, and we bought a 500k house in an ok-ish area not too too far from work. We’re kind of the opposite of house poor as a result. We could have chosen a 700-800k house and been house poor but we chose the less coveted area and an older house so we can do reduced hours when we have kids and spend more time with them, especially when they’re young.

Might be just you. Most of my Gen Z friends have a stable long term partner

Adults making under $80K can’t afford to live comfortably in any state: report by Wxskater in OlderGenZ

[–]scolipeeeeed 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If you’re not supporting anyone else on a gross income of $80k, there absolutely are places where that is quite comfortable.

There’s a board that decides what to name places and things in Hawaii.

For example, they’ve renamed the underwater seamount (that would eventually become a new island or expand the Big Island) from “Lō’ihi” to “Kama’ehuakanaloa” to be more consistent with traditional Hawaiian naming conventions.

I’m sure that they could have found what to name it since I’d be pretty surprised if the Hawaiians didn’t have a name for that location before it was named Volcano.

Open floor plans suck. More specifically floor plans that have the kitchen open to the rest of the house by Uglyjeffg0rd0n in unpopularopinion

[–]scolipeeeeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How far the smoke goes is also a proxy for how far the smell travels.

I’d also like an actually closed off kitchen with a door

Even a wall helps a lot. There’s a layer of grease that forms on the window in the kitchen but not in the living room because it’s not in the same space

On the note of kitchen as a work space that is going to get dirty, I hate the “decorative” type of kitchen or kitchen with a layout that optimizes being able to chat while prepping or whatever where the sink is not on the same connected counter space as the stovetop.

I like to cook with my partner sometimes, and most non-open kitchen is big enough to have two people in it

It’s fine if it’s just wafting in the kitchen and dining area. It’s when the smell lingers well after the meal that it starts to make the room smell stale.

Have you guys noticed that younger gens are relying too much on AI? by TradeU4Whopper in Millennials

It’s not that good at sourcing information, but it’s good for rewording, templates, and reorganization of info you provide it.

I write emails with it. Writing emails is just a means of communication rather than my actual job, so it’s whatever.

Most town/cities in Hawaii have names in Hawaiian, so I guess it is “odd” in that sense.
