#millenial problems

[the-ugly-ly]

“tiny home culture”, “van culture” isn’t cute it’s fucking tragic. no i don’t want to live in a fucking shed. thanks but i already lived in a fucking vehicle. MAKE ACTUAL HOMES AFFORDABLE AGAIN. social media is trying to glorify *PAYING* for what is essentially homelessness. NO. STOP IT.

I saw a movie the other day, and one thing about it really bugged me. It had nothing to do with the plot, the setting, etc.

It was that the female protagonist wore all of her shirts tucked in, but only in the front. Like, you could see her belt buckle, and a few inches on either side, and the rest was obscured by her top.

When I was a kid, I remember people being corrected and embarrassed because this arrangement (on boys at least) meant that you'd used the restroom and let part of your shirt get caught in the pants, but left the rest untucked.

Is this a trend? All I can think is that people wanted to show off fancy belt buckles or something, and somehow it caught on to people wearing unimpressive belts.

Does anyone else remember this as an embarrassing thing, or is this unique to when/where I grew up?

To be clear, it was a very new, made-for-streaming movie, so it's not likely this was a trend years ago that got fossilized in one or two works.

I just got a new phone, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the font on AO3 larger!!

Yes, I know. My age is showing.

Thanks for the email Spotify. I know I'm old.

I remember when Slipknot's first album came out... Gonna go register for AARP now.

Planning my own Eras Tour but it’s just dramatic recreations of the 12 jobs I’ve had since college.

While making example images for a lab worksheet on Center of Mass concepts, I made an unfortunate realization: I'm hitting that uncomfortable point in my teaching career where I am officially out of touch with the phrases and culture of the new generation, yet too "millenial" to connect-via-meme with my coworkers.

I am thoroughly stuck in the internet wasteland of my childhood. Nothing I do or say will ever be relevant again.

My kid, my own child, the other day was like, "When you were a kid back in the 1900s..." I was like, "Dude..."

Although, funnily, our birth years are equidistant from the year 2000- mine before and his after. I never noticed that before. That's fun! Something new to add when I remind him I was born on a different day of a different month of a different year of a different decade of a different century of a different millenium than he was lol.

When I was yelling 'take me back to 2003' on Thursday night I meant it in the nostalgic way.

Not in the American bombing countries in the Gulf again kind of way. Not in that way universe. You hear me?!

Every time I go to buy a new shirt that is too damn expensive, I always hear Macklemore declare, in disgust, "yo... that's $50 for a t-shirt."

I have to reeeeeeally want that shirt for me to justify disappointing Macklemore.

Why is every job opportunity either backbreaking physical labor, minimum wage part-time work that doesn’t pay enough to live off of, or a multi-level marketing scheme?!

And now we're so traumatized that we only wear skinny jeans or leggings.

When insomnia hits I sometimes wanna paint all my apartment walls like a demented Goya, but I'll need my damage deposit back at some point...

I started watching Paris Hilton’s reality show bc I kept hearing about it in ctpsd spaces. I was prepared for “the simple life: Grownuo edition”. But no, it’s actually really good. Like, “I’m glad my mom is dead by McCurdy” good. I never thought I’d find Paris Hilton to be so relatable.

Its wild to me that I could see my mother in a wealthy woman who probably doesn’t know where her washing machine is. The adhd narcissistic gen xer who avoids even the thought of trauma is like a genre of mothers frfr.
