detective: [kneels down looking over a dead body] hm. gross
I wonder if one of the causes of animosity towards âentitled millennialsâ is that many millennials are poor people who look rich. Thereâs this growing class of people who wear nice clothes, have fancy new electronic gadgets, go out to eat nice food⌠and will never own a home or have a retirement fund or put a child through college.
Itâs so easy to say âif you cut down on the avocado toast maybe you could save upâ, and so hard to accept that a house these days is fifty thousand avocado toasts, and thatâs why so many of us have just given up. We donât treat ourselves because we think the world will take care of us when we get older; we treat ourselves because we know it wonât. Might as well feel and look good on the way down.
Good post. Good logic. Like, if I can save 10k a year by scrimping and being as miserly as possible, and therefore be able to buy a house in 30 yearsâŚyeah, Iâm just gonna spend my 30 years being happy instead. Like, Iâm definitely putting some money into my savings, but whatâs the point when everything is so unattainably expensive?
Furthermore, the technological tools that millennials use daily, such as cell phones, are seen as luxury items by older geneations because those were luxury items back then. But technology changes. Cell phones used to require their own backpack, but now they fit in your back pocket. Over time, technology becomes more accessible and more affordable. Cell phones and the Internet are not so much luxuries anymore as they are necessities.
We need the Internet to apply to those retail amd fast food jobs everyone seems to think should barely pay minimum wage. We need cell phones so that we can be contacted about those minimum wage jobs. Land lines still exist, but they are becoming a thing of the past. Cheap smart phones and data plans exist and more expensive phones can be financed for around $20/month.
âWhen I was young, we didnât haveâŚâ You can finish that sentence with cars, CD players, Bluray, color TV, the Internet, cell phones, FacebookâŚthe list goes on and on. Having items that werenât available in the past does not necessarily mean they are still luxury items today. And just because something was afforable in the past, doesnât mean it is afforable or even available now as some technology dies out. Buying a house is not a necessity but a luxuryâand it always has beenâbut it is not a luxury I desire. Houses are expensive and biying and selling property is a hassle I actually want to avoid. And there is nothing wrong with that.
TL;DR Society changes. Prices, accessibility, and necessities change. Thatâs okay. So letâs stop harrassing millennials and put that energy towards important things like providing access to good education and stable jobs that pay a living wage. Maybe then millennials might desire owning a house to eat their avocado toast in.
Reblogging with especial emphasis on the âdaily parts of 2010âs life are seen as extravagance because they used to be luxury itemsâ (like cel phones.) I think itâs taking a long time for the semiotics of that to catch up with reality.
Also, speaking of avocado toast, I will never get over the idea that anyone thought a healthy meal that costs $4 to make is the height of extravagance. It doesnât even have any animal products.
We still see people complain about the impoverished having REFRIGERATORS. I think weâre going to be putting up with this nonsense for a long time.
i made a new blog @cheetahbabyy imma delete this one sometime lol
âthis post may contain sensitive mediaâ well why are you showing me a box that says that why do i need to know that you just denied me access to this post i would have been fine if you didnt tell me but you did tell me and now im annoyed

This is the scariest part tbh and also the reason why I couldnât care less what racist anons have to say
Facts.
The potato has been genetically modified ever since scientists realized they could fight back blight that caused the Irish potato famine
ALL citrus fruits are GMO hybrids of the pomelo, mandarin, and citron- the only 3 original citrus.Â
Most people have no idea what theyâre talking about when they say theyâre against GMOâs. No idea.Â
We need to get around to realizing that genetic modification isnt contamination, or carcinogenic chemicals, or sludge, or evil godless mutations. They arenât horrifying and theyâre grown natural just like everything else.Â
âi donât buy anything with gmos,â said the woman walking her purebred pug
look donât be against GMOs be against PATENTING GENES and PURPOSELY DESIGNING CROPS TO BE STERILE SO FARMERS HAVE TO KEEP BUYING SEEDS.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The reason most millennials donât make a scene when an establishment doesnât treat them right is because we function more on positive reinforcement than negative reinforcement. For Boomers, they can make a scene because they know negative reinforcement gets them what they want; they want to PUNISH these establishments or workers, but Millennial purchasing patterns are very different.
Growing up in the computer age, weâve become masterful at filtering junk information, and that includes advertising. It doesnât matter how much a politician or restaurant or whatever memes, weâll find them funny, but weâre still not going to shop there or give them our money of we dislike them. The way brands become successful with Millennials is actually just word of mouth.
So when an establishment treats us poorly, we donât make a scene. We simply never go back and donât tell our friends about it. Conversely, places that treat us well we immediately go tell others about.
The simplest ways to get Millennials to support your business is to give them good economic value for what you sell (Boomers can think weâre irresponsible, but weâre actually quite thrifty), you have to treat us with dignity, but ALSO, you have to treat your WORKERS with dignity. Unlike Boomers who get off on laughing at someone working at McDonaldâs, weâve all had to work shitty, underpaying jobs and we donât like when we go to an establishment and see workers mistreated and poorly paid, because WEâVE BEEN THERE, and we donât want to contribute to that gross abuse of the working class.
These rich CEOs can complain that Millennials have âno brand loyaltyâ or that weâre âkilling XYZ industry,â but the truth is that selling to us consistently requires ethical business practices that most of these companies are unwilling to partake in.
Wow I have a degree in economics and studied this stuff for years and years and read up on it all the time and this still impressed me. This was such an enjoyable read and all TRUE. Fuck
You know, I never really realized this until I read this. But yeah, itâs true, at least in my house. We donât usually go to places that treat their employees like crap. In fact, we do all of our grocery shopping at farmers markets (where I personally have known everyone selling things there for 5 or more years and half my family went to high school with someone who runs that farm) and Aldis (which gives their employees chairs, pays their people well, and gives them a full hour paid for lunch every shift). We eat out (When we eat out) at locally run businesses and family operated restaurants.
This update is fucked. Iâm posting this primarily for sex workers who are going to be majorly at risk because of this bullshit, but honestly, I would suggest everyone turn on ghost mode or just delete the app.
It is default disabled and when you first go on you can check the box saying you want to either share with all friends or select friends or then ghost mode. The feature itself is quite cool without seeing where your friends are as you can go to another country and watch a story from a concert/event there which I personally like. Just stay safe and if you ever decide to enable it do whatever is best for you!
If you go out a lot it might be nice to share your location with a couple people that you trust (like a sibling or roommate) just in case anything happens/you get lost.Â
listenâŚâŚ. âmy loveâ is literally the strongest and greatest pet name in existence. there is literally nothin better than somone callin you thatâŚ.. especially when things are soft and quiet and they look at you with utter adoration and whisper âwhatâs the matter, my love??â or âi hope everything is okay with you, my loveâ like oh my god?? let me marry you already
haha sick one! anyway, am I going to lose my health insurance in a few months
Guys. I get it, this isnât ensuring you a living wage or banning AHCA.
But the courts have used Trumpâs tweets to strike down the travel ban. This is important, even if it has a dumb name meant to needle him. His tweets are official correspondence, meaning they can illuminate his legislative intent, meaning they need to be on record. This can save lives. Using his tweets in court has saved lives. You can care about this AND your health insurance.
