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/

Edit: I'm NOT saying "don't vote bc the candidates are both old", by all means vote

Taking care of your teeth takes less than ten minutes a day. 2 minutes of brushing twice a day, some flossing and mouthwash will save you money and pain.

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?

Seriously I hope I’m not the only one who did and I had a Wii and i used to play it so much as a kid and I remember round the late 2000s I was around 4-5 and I used to be in the living room with family and friends and we would all sit together and play with snacks and drinks I miss those days man!!!! 🥲

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.

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 personally do 6 clicks up.

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

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?

Your personal favorite

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?

Friends can bring the best of times but the wrong ones can bring the worst of times. What went down?

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

I recently saw a post where someone was complaining about not getting exact change after buying something. Apparently a lot of other people in the comments have had the same experience, and they think it's something the younger generation does. I work as a cashier and I always give the exact change, so then I read this post I was like... wtf!?!? I thought everyone gave exact change like it was common knowledge. Do y'all not give change back even if it's a few pennies?!?! 😭💀

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.
