@danyspin97@lnxw48a1 please untag me from this discussion. I have made my point. The whole thing is based on anecdata and to me is an example of "these kids these days" kind of argument.
@danyspin97 I don't think any such generalization makes sense.
Saying "millennials are this and that" is just that - a broad, unfounded generalization. Treats a diverse group of people as if they were pretty much identical, brought up the same way, in the same environment, with same opportunities, education, etc.
I think it's way more useful to focus on concrete data. Like "how long does one have to work, on average, to pay for college". That's way more informative than "millenials are lazy".
@paulfree14 I am somehow reminded of a great Bosnian film, "No Mans Land", and a scene there where two Bosnian soldiers sitting in a trench in the middle of this completely absurd and fscked up Bosnian war discuss "the shit that's going down in Rwanda": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNJv7dKc3oc
'Observing the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz makes no sense if you're simultaneously ignoring the ethnic cleansing or genocide taking place today in:
- #Myanmar - East Turkistan - Syria - Palestine - South Sudan
The thing is people are generally comfortable talking about genocides of times past but not about those of time present.
Thus why "never again" lost out to again and again.'' via @cjwerleman on tw

@awilfox@officialcjunior here's another fun fact: I'd love a laptop without Ethernet port at all for certain use-cases. For example, for an airgapped machine. WiFi module is usually removable, Ethernet card not so much, and a glue gun is messy.
