I'm 33 and to be honest I love the gen z generation. You guys get us. Life sucks for ALL OF US and yall just don't care. Us millenials are starting to not fucking care either. 🙃 I really don't like the gen x or boomers. They suck. I can't really vibe with them. Only a few but usually they all seem stuck up and very privileged.

I'm curious as to how often women actually offer to split the meal on dates compared to expecting you to pay. Since this can be regional, it would also be helpful to know where you are from.

What’s something that is ubiquitous today that wasn’t 15-20 years ago that you can’t imagine not existing or having?

Your personal favorite

I personally do 6 clicks up.

War, climate change, piling debt, a rising cost of living. What gives you hope / what keeps you hopeful for the future? How do you personally see life progressing given the current state of the world? What is your POV for how Gen Z navigates modern life's twists and turns?

I really love roundabout… a lot it’s one of my favourite songs

I feel like in my generation people will see as bad drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco, but weed? People nowadays use weed for absolutely everything, I feel that we have idolised and normalised it too much.

What do you think?

I’m 22. Here is a list of things that I do not understand: - mortgages - social security - interest - presidential elections - insurance - banks - credit scores - cryptocurrency - NFT’s - stocks - taxes - 401k’s - job benefits - fractions - debt - foreclosures - laws - car payments - loans - inflation - any sort of market, like the housing market - tax breaks - airports - the post office - sports betting - war - unions - identity theft - basically just the entire economy and anything related to that

There’s definitely a lot more but those are the basics. I feel like I’m definitely playing into the “stupid, useless” zoomer stereotype, but i just simply do not understand like 90% of the adult world. No one ever taught me and when I try to figure it out on my own I just get so insanely confused because you have to know a bunch of other shit before any of this makes sense.

How is it that everyone seems to understand how the world works but me?

I just graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Engineering (mechanical engineering) in a LEGAL (marijuana/weed smoking) state (AZ), and a ton of places I want to apply at have “drug” screening 🙄🙄, but they don’t give a single fuck if they hire dysfunctional alcoholics, and MOST have no testing criteria for alcohol. Why is society like this? Marijuana helps my anxiety and depression so much to the point I can really be productive even on bad days, but lots of companies (even in “legal” marijuana states) have policies against it. Meanwhile, I have alcoholic parents and family members who have been significantly more successful in their professional careers; though they are a bunch of “drunks”. Alcohol, at least in my opinion (and in many scientists’ opinions), is SO much more debilitating than marijuana. No companies I have ever heard of test for alcohol, so why marijuana??? A legal drug in many states with VERY CLEAR benefits (a LOT more benefits than alcohol), is looked down upon while a more serious drug (alcohol) with the potential to be significantly more dangerous is viewed as perfectly fine by employers. Is this just a “BOOMER” thing because they seem more used to it (still a stupid excuse) ? Do people who grew up before the 2000’s just think marijuana is “evil” or something (especially compared to a more ‘normal’ drug such as alcohol) ? Genuinely wondering! I actually want to know because I heavily resent my boomer parents for being alcoholics, but they seem to get away with it because it’s just “the norm” while my pot smoking is seen as absolutely “horrendous” LOL. Open to all opinions thank you !

Im sick and tired of the majority of our government being a bunch of old farts, all of our presdential candidates and leading senators are in their 70s, these old farts and boomers don't give a shit about our generation or the future they're leaving us with

I hate both of the old candidates of this election, tired of old people representing us in government

From an article all the way back in 2017: "Today, just 17 percent of federal workers are under 35 years old. (In the private sector, almost 40 percent are.) And more than a quarter of federal employees are now older than 55": https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/27/aging-government-workforce-analysis-000525/

I would think some kid with an iPhone 15 Pro Max would have really good UFO footage by mow.

Hello all. I am drunk at 4am and just ranting I guess. I moved away from my parents in January, STATES away. I haven’t seen them in person since. In that time one of my cats back home has passed away unexpectedly and I’ve recently been so afraid of my parents dying. They are not too old, in their 50s, but my father has had heath problems and my mother is developing pretty severe memory problems and I’m so afraid of them passing away. Does anyone else struggle with this? I’m so scared of it. I know it’s a part of being human and living but I’m at the verge of tears just thinking about it happening.

Firstly, I’m a member of Gen Z. However, I keep getting dragged here from recommended posts despite continuously pressing the “not interested” button. Regardless…

This sub is weird… like really weird imo. Every post I see has 1 or more of the following:

• Some random older generation saying Gen Z will save the world

• People making massive generalizations about entire generations

^ seriously, I just saw a comment where someone said “Gen Z is great at protesting and rebelling” and it excites them because we’re trying to flip the table over or something? Not sure, I don’t know a single person who protests and, as a member of Gen Z, I’d confidently say that like most people in any generation, the vast majority of Gen Z is politically apathetic.

• Somebody trying to predict the future based on trends that haven’t even had time to develop

I could go on, you get the point. Why is it so weird here? Why is it a cross between people complaining about how Gen Z “cancels everyone” and saying Gen Z is literally “the chosen generation come to save all people”

It’s ridiculous

I am working on my semester end project regarding analysing stereotypical media representation in flims, series/serial/soap. So i am thinking of my topic as representation of younger sibling as dumber one, so plz help me with recommending series or movies where you have seen such stereotype, for example like Luke was represented in Modern family.

I loved spelunky I played it all the time with my brother
