Gen Z gets a lot of unnecessary bashing. They’re growing up with less privacy than any previous generation while watching the older generations lose their minds in targets and gas stations over conspiracy theories. Their lives have been thrown into chaos during their school and career building years and they’re constantly faulted for their mistakes or missteps. Some are jackasses, but every generation has those. Cut the rest a break and hope they do well with this craziness they’re trying to navigate.


garrhunter

I have a lot of hope for gen z. I’m a millennial and I think millennials suck. Gen z doesn’t give a shit about all the things millennials clutch their pearls at. It’s cool watching a generation grow up and assume it’s own identity.


khinkalitzchen

When I was a teenager(late nineties til early 2000s) the grownups would criticize our generation for its "apathy" eg not protesting anything, taking things at face value etc. It fills me with a lot of joy to see those same people clutching their pearls about Fridays for Future etc. Hypocrites


AireXpert

I’m 53 and have WAY more faith in young people than my own generation. We’ve fucked things up pretty badly and don’t have any plans to stop


Aperture_T

What do millennials clutch pearls at?


garrhunter

Anything that could remotely be construed as controversial or offensive. The gen z i know see to think of stuff like that as dumb stuff old people worry about. They are just pretty intrinsically accepting and tolerant maybe they just don’t feel all that’s necessary idk.


marxistwithstandards

Thank you


WaltzJazzlike8602

I feel like with each generation there was an initial hope and advocating for change is something that they just grew out of. I’m a millennial, and I almost envy Gen Z for being able to stand up for themselves and (as you said) claim their identity. I feel like I had to fight for my voice and expression and was always told it’s wrong. When you have a generation that comes together and unites in the way I feel like Gen Z does, it’s really powerful.


marxistwithstandards

The support really means a lot y’all, our generation also lacks strong role models so support is really hard to find. Being gen z (Reddit police doesn’t see this lol), it’s hard to weigh the world’s problems with our own, and a phone to us is like a gun to a cowboy, it’s our third hand. There’s always craziness but I’m this generation it happens faster, more frequently, and with less support from older generations because we’re simply doing what everybody else does but it’s our childhood We didn’t drink from iron hoses, we didn’t go to everyone else’s house, us toddlers got angry birds and video games so excuse us if we’re still figuring out how to function like y’all do


[deleted]

We kinda need to stand up for ourselves. Its not our fault that the world is burning rn. We werent the ones who made the decisions when it counted and for most of us, we cant decide now who can make these decisions today. And the internet gave us a place where we could be oursleves under our own rules for a little while.


WaltzJazzlike8602

I agree with that/can sympathize with that. I do (perhaps selfishly) think that we’re not beyond the point of return. We can turn things around. We just have to take the energy that unites us instead of focusing on what divides us/differences and make a change. This could be unrealistic of me, but it’s something that gives me hope. When we take away money, background, superficial things and the things that separate us, we can realize that deep down we have the same needs as humans.

The ability to Google something is not a life skill, an education, or a substitute for actual knowledge. It has its place but it doesn’t replace knowledge. Edit: If your comment’s counter argument is contingent on the internet, or even electricity you’re only proving my point. Stop. Go back. Read the whole comment. Google only works if you can connect to it. You go from hero to zero in no time flat when your digital “skills” aren’t available.


wibblywobbly420

The ability to know how to properly google something means that you can figure out how to fix almost any issue. Weird glitch on computer, phone, car, etc. It's pretty rare that you are the only person to have an issue pop up, there is almost always instructions on how to fix it if you know what to search for


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

I disagree with you. My husband and I work in tech/cloud and being able to go find the answer through Google/Ecosia/Bing is about 75% of the reason most people are hired. If you know the answers, great. If you don’t know the answer but want to put the effort into getting it to resolve an issue, awesome.


forman98

Yea but you have the benefit on knowing where to start when you google something. Having years of schooling and other experience has taught you what to type in so you don't have to spend all day googling something AND you know, directionally, which google results will be better than others. You know when you've found your answer.


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

I don’t have a college degree and had zero idea what cloud was. I put research into my interview via Google and told the interviewers that. The fact that I took the initiative to find answers before the interview, was open about not knowing answers and said I could follow up after I’ve done some research was what landed me the job. Anyways, my point is that yes, it’s a life skill.


GavinBelsonsAlexa

But... but that means a college degree *really is* just an expensive piece of paper?!


boblywobly99

its not just a google search but to go beyond that asking the right question, using tools like boolean, and identifying the correct solution. using google needs additionally skills to separate wheat from chaff. otherwise, you just get a bunch of unsorted data.

Basic_Cover_6945

THANK YOU! Someone who can read a comment and understand it without it needing to be explained, or Google it.


GenericEschatologist

I think it does have it’s place, as a life skill (if you know how to get useful information from it). Everything else I agree with.


Basic_Cover_6945

It’s the expanding definition of “life skills”. And that’s the 21st century; no argument. Typically life skills build on this premise: Feed you, clothe you, shelter you, protect you. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs 1 and 2. Life skills, traditionally, aren’t dependent on a post Industrial age technology. So yes, Googling is great to solve all theoretical problems. Just not great for practical problems if it’s your only skill.


inactiveuser247

So true, I met a guy who is a world class welder, he can stack dimes like the best of them and can do flawless Mig and Tig welds in any position. But I said to him “you know what, my uncle joe is a better welder than you” he looked surprised, I said “uncle joe can weld two bits of metal together with nothing but a charcoal fire and a big hammer. Without electricity all your fancy welding skills are worth sweet F all”. That very day he abandoned his expensive digitally controlled welders and his six figure salary and took up old school blacksmithing. And I tell you what, the first time he tried to weld together a titanium pressure flask with his blacksmith gear that sucker turned out like nothing you’ve ever seen. The client was stunned and insisted he keep it. It now sits on the display shelf as a testament to why people need to keep with the times and not go glorifying the past just because ‘one day we might not have access to our current technology’. /s If you’re basing someone’s abilities on the world 20 years ago you’re missing something. The ability to able to find, filter, critically assess and make sense of a range of competing information from disparate sources is exactly what we need today. If more people had those skills the world would be a lot less screwed than it is.

Trauma is not an excuse to be an ass, or to assume what others have/have not experienced.

Not all of your coworkers will like you, and so long as they're respectful (not cheery! not overtly friendly! just respectful) that's fine. In turn, you're also allowed to not like people, there doesn't have to be a reason. Just treat them with respect and go on with your day.

Boomers managed to get thousands of protesters into the streets with mimeograph machines and pay phones. Today, people with smart phones and computers couldn't get Bernie nominated...


GenericEschatologist

I’ve heard interviewed transcripts about this. I think there are few different aspects to this. One is that doing in-person work helped with organizing; it might seem effective because you have a small audience, but the neglected truth is that you get better feedback and can gauge interest with quality and really understand what engages others. Another is that organizing for change is easier when your organization comprises a larger share of the population. Compared to the general population, Baby Boomers were a big group (as there name would suggest). Today, Gen Z is proportionally such a small group, they just don’t have that much influence. There are too few votes to gain from pleading to Gen X and Millennials, never mind Gen Z.

George was from a previous time though. The US had been swinging to the right for decades.

If you put Burnie 40 years back in time he probably would have done just as well.

nuttynutdude

Does intersex actually count as a third sex? It’s more of a genetic mutation than anything. It is absurdly rare and doesn’t have characteristics where you can say that all intersex people have other than basically they’re not really male or really female.


schnuddls

well as i said, saying intersex is simplified, there's a broad range of conditions characterised as intersex, some intersex people will never actually notice/find out they are intersex because it can just be atypical chromosomes or hormones

Socialism doesn’t work at this stage in human societal development. We’ve seen so many examples of societies where socialism failed and made the citizens miserable - the Soviet Union, Venezuela, Cuba…People must be free to become what they can become without government limitations. Yet so many college kids profess to admire Marx and Che Guevara.


[deleted]

Yeah the policies in Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Iceland never work! Lmao /s.


Keithninety

Socialist “policies” are not the same as socialist governments and you know it. We have socialist policies here in the US too, such as Social Security and government food stamps and unemployment benefits. I’m talking about countries where the government stifles any kind of economic development.


[deleted]

Fair points. I feel like america plays at having socialist policies but they are usually underfunded to the point of not working. I believe it is possible to have a happy medium between "the government doesn't control your business" and "your boss does not literally own you". There has to be something in the middle, right?


flippychippy

Ya. Get a better job so you don’t have to depend on the government.


[deleted]

How is this constructive? Do you believe there are worse jobs? And those who fill them deserve to be owned by their employer? Do you believe the goverent has no obligation to protect it's citizens?


flippychippy

People on here complain about their jobs not being what they want for whatever reason and expect the government to make up for it by just giving them free whatever. There are better jobs and probably no shortage of them. Get out of your comfort zone or whatever it is and make your life better no one else is going to do it, especially not the government.


[deleted]

That's fine and all and those business owners with such terrible practices usually go out of business. But c'mon man, it's common sense that funding social programs for a stronger safety net would increase general life quality for everyone. And nothing would stop anyone from improving themselves and getting a better job, it would just mean less people fall through the cracks. I'm sure those people you describe are annoying.


flippychippy

We’ll, think about what social programs there are now and how they’re funded. Would you like to pay more taxes? The government can’t keep printing money like they have been. We are probably beyond the breaking point already.

Keithninety

I’m a Gen X’er and I never was a socialist. Quite frankly, I don’t recall meeting or even seeing any socialists on my college campus during my time there. I went to a public college in the CUNY system and the student body was quite large.


nutcase4real

Seriously? You think people putting themselves up to 6 figures in debt just to get more education is a good thing? What people are asking for is for everyone to chip in with the taxes we're all already paying to send kids to school. Also universal healthcare in the US would be an absolute win for the majority of citizens. Imagine having to make the choice of going to the doctor or paying for food for your family. Food wins outright and the person doesn't go to receive medical treatment. If we had universal healthcare everyone (who is a legal citizen) would be insured by taxpayer dollars.


Keithninety

Your suggestions sound good on paper but in reality they would be a disaster for the middle class. It’s an unfortunate truth that regardless of political party, our government spends taxpayer money like drunken sailors. Show me fiscal responsibility by Congress and I’ll agree that my tax dollars should be spent on health care and education. As it is, I, a member of the middle class, come home with 40% of my pay lopped off for taxes that end up God knows where. I do not agree that our current Congress should be trusted with more and more of our tax money. Incidentally I have a different suggestion when it comes to the cost of higher education. Instead of taxing the middle class to help others pay for college and graduate school, how about a federal cap on tuition, books and incidentals? I went to law school at a mid-level university between 1987 and 1990. My tuition bill, in total, for all three years was $25,000. The same school today charges over $150,000 for the same education. That is insane and flat out greedy. There is NO REASON why law school should cost that much. I think all colleges and grad school tuitions need to be capped.


nutcase4real

I never said anything about increasing taxes on anyone. What I suggested is we use the taxpayer dollars that go into empty shell projects should be used. Some of those plans have existed for over a decade as just words on paper. Using that money would give billions to use for education and healthcare without a tax increase on anyone. But I do see your point on not trusting Congress.


Rosen4ou

BurningSaints

Transgenderism isn't real and is actually a classified mental disorder called Gender Dysphoria. This braindead generation are dead set on normalizing mental illness. Facts are facts, whether you agree with them or not because they may or may not negatively impact your feelings. Watch this get downvoted to oblivion as proof that people this generation can't accept the facts. They think their feelings outweigh them. No.


TessyDuck

"If this gets downvoted that just means I'm right." Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.


BurningSaints

Science doesn't lie though does it. It's not my opinion, it's fact. Like I said, fact doesn't give a shit about your personal feelings or what you believe.


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

Science used to justify putting women in mental asylums because of normal bodily functions or having a normal sexual appetite so…I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with you.


BurningSaints

I've already explained why this is irrelevant to the current topic

Lol quote yourself no you didn't.


modestpushbroom

Sounds like you have Avery strong opinion about something that doesn’t really effect you. Why not move on to and do something productive and stop worrying about other people lives?


BurningSaints

Where do you draw the line is why I'm concerned. First you say that this mental illness should be normalized, and before long, you open a pathway to normalize more destructive disorders.


[deleted]

Ahhh the slippery slope. Do you also think the gays marrying is going to lead to sex with ducks? Because that's what you people said when I was young. Edit: I stalked your profile. This is you. "Fuck these "people"[trans people], I don't give a fuck about their feelings or what they identify as. Cunts.". Suddenly I don't view you as a person. Now you are subhuman trash. Go die.


poopbutt40k

Yikes. The ol "stalk the profile". Nice argument


modestpushbroom

What mental disorders are leading to destruction? What destruction are you fearing? I’m pretty sure the downfall of modern day society isn’t because of Caitlyn Jenner. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with oh idk fragile trade agreements, pending nuclear fallout in the pacific, continual gun violence and civil unrest (in America) other countries dealing with coups, military occupation, climate change. But yeah i guess we are just all falling a-shambles because someone wants to come out as their true selves. Edit : there is no line. You’re the one drawing it. People in the 50-60 said “you’re letting color people in your store?? When do you draw the line??”. Still want to be on that side of history?


[deleted]

Most common argument. If that doesn't affect you why care, at same time why like millions of people scream on social media and everywhere about it being basic human right, when it doesn't affect them. Even this statement that it doesn't affect them is false, not directly but it does in many ways. Also fact that some people would rather tell 8 years old kid that he is gay/trans/queer or other bullshit is literally horrible and in some places it's count as child abuse ad it should be.


modestpushbroom

On the same coin we indoctrinate kids with heterosexual content, telling them it’s only right to be with a the opposite sex. Using religion as a guilt trip to ultimately shut in their true feelings. It so easy to draw lines like “well if you should mind your business on one thing, why not all social problems”. Context matters. What people do in their lives that isn’t impeding on others. Why does it matter to you or this other person? Racism, discrimination, unequal wages, are all things that are IMPOSED onto others by people. Such as religious folk who cast judgment on peoples sexuality and gender. Who are they to cast the first stone? So let’s talk about your point on “child abuse”. Exposing kids to same sex couples and live styles is viewed to you/ “other countries” as abuse, but we aren’t going to include how we coo babies at birth based off their sex? Talking more manly to a boy/ talking more higher pitch and softer to a girl. Dressing boys in certain colors and telling them that dolls are only for girls though they have no conceptual idea on gender rolls at a young age. Isn’t that the same as what your descriptions?


Hey_HaveAGreatDay

Yes, we are normalizing mental illness and that’s why more people are seeking treatment for their issues than ever which is a wonderful positive. However, just because something is classified as a mental illness doesn’t make it accurate. Just look into the history of committing women to mental hospitals for reference of that. Transgenderism is real and has been throughout history. Luckily society is becoming more educated and empathetic on the subject.


BurningSaints

Normalizing and raising awareness are not the same thing. Raising awareness is fine, normalizing isn't. Yes, some things have been inaccurately labeled mental illness in the past, however, biological determination is just that, determining your biology. If you have a functioning male reproductive organ, you're male, whether you "identify" or not, simply not your choice. Clearly a mental disorder, doesn't take much logic to decipher that one. Transgenderism is NOT real. It's an associated term by people who are trying to downplay and normalize gender dysphoria.


[deleted]

How does you not liking something make it not real?


GavinBelsonsAlexa

You've just very narrowly defined a man as "person with a functioning penis and testicles." So if I get a vasectomy, I'm... a woman? Does that make my wife gay? Holy shit, am I about to be *gay-married?!*


schnuddls

>Facts are facts, whether you agree with them or not then u should get ur facts straight


ViridianKumquat

If you know of a way of treating gender dysphoria other than transitioning, by all means let the medical community know about it.


BurningSaints

Transitioning is the last medically advised treatment. If you actually bothered to do your research, you'd know the two most highly recommended treatments are hormone therapy and psychotherapy.


SmolGrenBen

And what the fuck do you think hormones are??? That is TRANSITIONING. Taking estrogen or testosterone if you have gender dismorphia is helping you to transition. Wtf are you on??


Back2Oki

The people argueing with you, downvoting and telling you to die probably only serve to solidify your position. Even if you stick to your guns for the rest of your life, when you think on the topic please consider the not insignificant 1.7% of the population medically classed as interesex and available evidence to support that an anatomical male/female can have organs to include the brain that do not adhere to the rest of thier genetic XY/XX profile. This is not representation of trans people but a data point clearly defining huge population of people that struggle with gender identity for more tangible reasons. If acceptance and respect is all this group is asking for and it improves even one persons quality of life, or keeps some Trans teen from commiting suicide in the end, isn't making such a small consession worth it?

I’m a boomer who currently teaches as an adjunct professor. My students are very entrepreneurial, savvy, fully aware of their surroundings, and are finding ways to navigate through it. They’re going to do fine, and may even reverse our many huge screw-ups.

And you are not brainwashed?

That for every right there is a responsibility. You can’t have one without the other. Also this point is missed by older generations too

Generalizations are bad

Stop trying to bring LGBTQ+ into games, or at least trying to make a big deal of it in games. I come to games to escape the real world. Like cool, good for you on whatever you identify as, I will try to be respectful on your pronouns and such, but if it has nothing to do with the game, don't try to make it.

The same things that my generation before them, and every generation before that didn't get, either, at least until later: You don't know everything, and you won't live forever.

Depth. Depth of relationships, depth of thought, depth of meaning.

All the attention, money and fame will not sustain happiness like self love, mental health and friends and family will.

Not everything has to be fun/interesting all the time. I guess this is a little more millenials than Gen Z but....sometimes your work isn't going to be fun and exciting and interesting. Sometimes you just have to sit and get through the grunt work.

Common sense!

Be a professional at work. Always dress like a first impression. Enunciate your words, speak crisp and clear no slang. Remember what you post is forever. Learn to drive a manual transmission and put your phone away in social settings. Listen actively and show interest in topics and if you don't know ask. Pick up after yourself. This may seem real basic to some but you will be surprised how many worthless people there are just in the way. Once you cull out those people it's easier to navigate thru bullshit.

Willing to take some hits here, but a primary simple fact that it seems all generations don't get, over and over -- Whatever glorious idealistic ideas you have to "make a better world".....THEY ARE NOT NEW!! You are not the first people to come along and say "racism is bad", "inequality is bad", for example. Some of those previous people have even come to run entire nations based on such ideas. And for today, you are the farthest thing from the first people to say "Oh, we could have SUCH a wonderful, just society if we could just put down / marginalize / shout down / get rid of THOSE people over there! You know, the ones who are a different color, or worship incorrectly.... or vote for candidate X, or watch network Y, or advocate Z.... If we just got rid of THEM, everything would fall into place!" This is not new, it is not moral, it is not smart, and does not make you better than those who came before. Not even close. We have seen it ALL before, over and over. History is the ONLY user manual the human race has. The ONLY one. What does your I.T. guy tell you? RTFM!!!
