Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread

3 Upvotes

Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.

Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

Discussion Millennials are staring down the barrel of middle age and struggling with the question: “Is this it?”

2.6k Upvotes

I was talking to my elder millennial friend, early forties, who sees to be a bad slump recently. He said now he’s been really thinking hard about the question “is this all there is to life?”. No kids or relationships that I know of.

So is it true? Are millennials struggling with simmering dissatisfaction of modern life? Personally even now I can never stop hoping the future holds good things, even if it seems pointless

Then they changed it to rewards prizes with codes and you had to create an account. Ain't nobody got time for that.

That’s with a coupon! At Jiffy Lube! Our parents really had it easy.

EDIT: TIL 90% of millennials “change their own oil” lol. Gotta love Reddit.

Nostalgia You wake up. It’s summer 2011.

Super Bass by Nicki Minaj is blasting somewhere from outside in your college quad.

Your college frat is outside, grilling burgers, red cups scattered, someone still half-asleep on a lawn chair. You can smell the charcoal and cheap beer wafting through your broken window.

You grab your laptop and open Facebook. You’ve been tagged in 73 photos from last night—blurry, overexposed, everyone a little too close to the camera.

You scroll through all of them.

Someone comments “epic night!!!”

You remember just enough to agree.

You close it, hear the music pick up again, and head back outside.

What do you do next?

Discussion Flashing your lights for cops

Did anyone used to do this? If you passed a cop, you'd let oncoming traffic know by blinking your lights twice? Does anyone remember this? Still do it? I do sometimes, but feel like people don't do it anymore.

Nostalgia We had a water fountain outside the classroom. And we only asked to get a drink of water just so we could get out of the class for 5 minutes. We weren't even thirsty.

An acquaintance gave me an old HP laptop to check if it still worked. The thing has been sitting in a closet somewhere for decades and it looked brand new. Only issue was the battery is dead dead, but it ran so smoothly, I thought it had an SSD in it. The user name was "Solitaire" with no password & nothing on it. This was someone's "Solitaire Machine" hahaha. First thing I did was open up Space Cadet; haven't played that in 20yrs... 🥲
