The Coffee House

[tirediron]

I had avocado toast with a drizzle of olive oil and an over easy egg on top for breakfast this morning. I'm such a millennial.

How the **** do you get an avocado in a toaster?

All old people must complain that the next generation are a bunch of spoiled useless fools. It’s a rite of passage into senility .

Our legacy will be just fine.

As long as they stop eating Tide Pods. LOL Don't think my generation and quite a few after needed warning labels to "Don't eat the soap". Though I will admit there were a few times in my childhood when I "unwillingly" chomped on the bar of the day when my Grandma heard me spewing not so nice words. I can tell you Ivory was nasty, Zest was a little better.

Oh, we definitely get a bad rap. It's a huge range of years though, and I feel like a lot of the things affecting us were actually caused by other generations, haha. I graduated college (the price of which, when adjusted for inflation, was the highest ever) right as the bottom fell out of the stock market. I was incredibly lucky to find work. There were just no opportunities for many of my classmates. My friends who didn't go to college didn't have a nice unionized blue-collar job to walk into after high school either.

But hey...whatever. I have friends working at Space-X. I have friends doing research in toxicology. I have friends leading social movements. I have plenty of friends who are working for our children. Our legacy will be just fine.

Yeah, we did, too. And now apparently, we're supposed to be saviors?
Why Generation X Might Be Our Last, Best Hope
There are some good points in this and some eye-roll-worthy points. But that might just be my deep-seated cynicism and whateverism talking

This one is a bit more interesting:
Whatever happened to Generation X?

To be fair, I'm not entirely sure those kids count as Millenials. Dumb, yes, but not sure you can indict the entire generation.

And I'm willing to bet the farm that every.single.generation has done stupid stuff when they were teenagers.

Yeahbut... it's perfectly acceptable to do stupid stuff if said stupid stuff is preceded by the phrase, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Yup, one of my college roommates stayed high from the time we met till the day we graduated. He enjoyed a wide variety of the drug of choice in the 60's. Still managed to graduate with a descent GPA. He went on to become a respected educator at a high school in the state of Washington, where he retired a couple years back. Not sure if or when he ever stopped the drugs.

Well, of course!

I've known people who are more coherent when high. Some brains can get real spinny real fast without something to slow them down. I have, um, no idea what that's like, nope, not me, nosiree Bob!

ETA: (I just have different ways of dealing with it.)

And that was usually followed with "you're not gonna believe this"

There’s a reason I have a borderline obsession with coffee. It works a lot better than some of the stuff the doctor wanted me to try.

My Sister speaks of tasting soap bars.
I remember no such thing.
Because of the deep freeze checks are supposed to be here about noon.
I'm clocked out with about 4.5 hours.
Enjoying a leisurely breakfast and sort of planning to still be in town at noon.
Will report later.

We used to drink Aqua Velva out in the field, in the Marines. Talk about a problem. You could get drunk and smell good at the same time.
