Speaking of shitting up something:

I had some Thai food today and that was not fun at all

I never get thai food spicy, I was gonna get sum after work. Im going to ask for a lil more spice and see how it all comes out.

Get red curry with shrimp or tofu. that's my fav. but it has to be close to 5 star spice.

The idea that we millennials’ only hope for retirement is the end of capitalism or the end of the world is actually quite common sentiment among the millennial left.

Where's the lie, tho?

There was a point in my life where I would scour neogaf and whine too. Thinking back to my earlier posts on the bore, I was at a much more lonely and hermit point of my life. Where the majority of my socializing came from forum posting.

Its embarrassing to think about how much merit I put onto forums, how angry and petty I was.

I view forums as a social crutch. Doesn't need to be viewed as a bad crutch either, but I have equal parts pity and shame for some posters. Not posters on Ree either, for the most part.

Can't really expect much else in market economies. I always viewed it as a lazy game. Better to focus on making money or running for a position yourself instead of hoping for some asshole to tangentially help you, some day maybe.

I don't see it that way. I forgot exactly who said this but Trump was/is more like a 'murder weapon' for people that got sick and tired of the current political class. They didn't give a flying fuck what he was about as long as he tore everyone down.

And you know what he's doing exactly that.

Why oh why don't Millennials have proper respect for Capitalism? Maybe we could look back in time and see where they've failed the system.

Popular when Millenials were Teens: Watching Fight Club and The Matrix
Popular when Millenials were in their 20's: Greedy bankers stealing half the world's economy

The thing is though that the alternative that is being promoted (communism) is far worse and in plain sight for everyone to see in Korea and Venezuela.

I remember there was a brief time when resource based economies and such were discussed and self sustaining cities of the future.

We're both right imo. They despise the political and media system so much that they voted for Trump who was obviously hated by them but in their effort to then rationalize their decision many of them actually believed in him and hoped that he'll fix things.

With Clinton there was a certain group that voted for her. Who checked all the issues and passed the purity tests.

With Trump no so much, your racist uncle could vote for him but also 4chan trolls. The same trolls that would actually enjoy him fucking up everything he did. They knew he would be a shitty president and are probably dissapointed that it isn't a bigger mes.
There's also the people that thought he would pivot to more sane positions after the election which compared to his campaign ideas is somewhat true, but eh. And of course people who knew  Trump from the Apprentice as a business savy guy.
Rich assholes voted for him in droves also and even women who wanted some of that Trump family glamour.
   
Finally you even had some Bernies who thought that to bring down the system, they had to vote Trump or not vote at all, because it would be so horrible the next time around people would go communist.

There's also the problem of idiots who over 8 years of Obama thought big government is great and should have even more power, if not total control over every aspect of life. Trump should be a good way of showing how fucking stupid that mentality is but sadly most idiots just doubled down to "We need a dictator who does everything I want"

90% of the people that voted for Bush and McCain voted for Trump, and they would of voted for another Bush if Trump didn't win the nominee. Trump didn't even win the majority of his primary.

You all try and complicate, romanticize, and convolute shit far too much. 

Trump has his base of supporters that love him, but the vast majority have been Republicans most of their life, and the larger party that is going to vote Republican 95 times out of 100 and just fills in the gap to rationalize it as the faces change. Thats why you can see Republicans literally flip on norms once held sacred like their religious morality or hawkishness toward the once evil Ruskies. Why Trump supporters suddenly have no problem with potentially bringing on the John Bolton's of the world after Trump ran a campaign vilifying the foreign policy of the last Republican administration.

Trump is exactly what most people wanted.

Both sides believe that things like reading and reasoned debate are wrong (one because they are racist activities, the other because they are liberal elite activities). Trump doesn't do either. Both sides have completely bought in to clickbait fake news. Trump is fake news given human form. His penchant for conspiracy theory shows and spouting birtherism was well known already, and since the election he has continued to use the same tactics that make fake news so successful.

I don't think even those who hate him feel bad about his election, because it confirms their political philosophy. The wrong type of clickbait won this time, but clickbait is still the correct way to run politics, and the right kind will win next time.

And 99% of the time it would have been right, and it also would have been right if the election had been held 11 days before it actually was. The odds of two Black Swan level October surprises in consecutive elections are minuscule.

Barring the Dem nominee turning out to have murdered someone, Trump will lose.

Lets just play a quick hypothetical based on some not altogether unrealistic possibilities:

- Economy is still churning along without any major downturns.

- Russia investigation doesn't actually show enough clear cut improprieties to overcome Republican intransigence and tribal bitterness. Worse yet, Democrat's attempt to punish Trump on clear cut obstruction of justice accusations following Mueller's report leads to a bitter partisan stalemate that leads to Clinton style investigation fatigue on the moderate side of either party.

- After a 2018 wave election, congressional dysfunction and poorly received compromise legislation once again saps enthusiasm of Democratic party voters on the left and momentum is no longer going strongly in one direction.


- Maybe Trump even signs a bi-partisan ACA fix that takes the Dems most powerful issue off the table for them in 2020.

- After a bitter primary of 10-15 nominees the Democrats push out the other side a Sanders style candidate because he captures enough of a niche that gives him a Trump like slight advantage amongst a field that is mostly vying for the same marketshare of the party. Or they end up with another boring ho hum candidate that struggles again to find a cohesive message to excite Democratic turnout against Trumps all-out nationalist "Keep America Great" messaging, and "I'm not such a bad guy, look at the economy" messaging.


I'm just saying, I think there are plenty of realistic scenarios where Trump can end up getting another term.

I'd love to have a fucking retirement fund, too goddamn bad that I live nearly paycheck to paycheck despite saving up shit due to insurance/health/etc. bills and being paid way less than I should be for nearly a decade of service in this fucking company.

[Kurt Russell]

There’s way more to it than that and you know it. Millineals are the most frugal generation ever.

1. I think there are more demands on cashflow and time than there has been historically.
2. Convenience options = £££
3. People seem less likely to "settle" for a steady job. Everybody wants to be a fucking social media consultant

Taking a lunch to work with you rather than eating out is a pain in the ass but 75% cheaper.
Taking coffee from home saves around $5+ a day
Not buying an iPhone X saves a decent chunk of cash

I'd wager that most Millenials could trim the fat and put by 5 - 10k a year. Then all they need to do is figure out that there are other means to investment than bitcoin and they may actually be on the road to home ownership.

So whilst I do believe that the problems Millenials face are inherently due to the lack of money management skills that would ideally be taught in high school, there are also unprecedented demands on their wallets - so many "must have" gadgets that didn't exist a generation ago (Walkman, Raybans and that was about it), lives are a lot busier leading to all but the most organised paying for convenience services to save time and everybody posting up shiny lives that actually don't really exist in reality on Facebook lead people to always believe that they are falling behind others.

My brother for instance has 40 pairs of shoes and always eats takeaway.

Ok, congrats on Australia having it's shit together. Meanwhile: Millennials in America are fucked. That's why they have the whole "I'm probably going to eat a bullet instead of having a comfortable retirement pension/fund" mentality.  You can save as much as you want in America, but it does not matter when pay-rates for labor has not risen with the times. Minimum Wage in America at this very moment should be at least $14 an hour to match the intended purpose of "minimum wage" when it was introduced. Instead: $7.50 (depending on the state may be higher, may be lower). You can't even get a fucking apartment by yourself for that payrate. You're fucking lucky if you even get $12 an hour even with a college degree right now due to numerous issues with the labor system.

Our minimum wage is $17.7 Aud  ($13.6 USD).

My last job was at a call center. It was the most boring, low-skill, no-techical-experience job imaginable. $24.50 an hour.

[Kurt Russell]

Minimum Wage in America at this very moment should be at least $14 an hour to match the intended purpose of "minimum wage" when it was introduced. Instead: $7.50 (depending on the state may be higher, may be lower).

Serious question: Can you explain this? From what I can see, when minimum wage was introduced in 1938, it was 25 cents. When inflation is taken into account (which would include house, gas, food price rises), then you come out at around $8 - $9? I don't see where the $14 comes from.

#1 is happening now.

It's absolutely not. Most analysts predict a recessionary cycle to start in late 2019. In the year up to recession -12 months, there is always a huge uptick - unemployment becomes extraordinarily low, markets do well. So #1 is not happening now and probably won't even become noticeable until January 2019.

I, for one, welcome our U.B.I. and social healthcare/social programs overlords.

And lets also be clear here, over-consumption and poor long-term planning is not some new found thing that just cropped up with Millennials. America has had a low savings rate for some time, and that wasn't the product of Millennials. Hell, as an anecdote, the most recent Nobel prize winner in economics won in part because of his work getting what are mostly boomers to improve their incredibly lacking retirement savings and 401k contributions. Which, while still lacking, were on pace to reach major crisis level.

Plus it can't be lost we have a number of these social programs specifically because America faced crisis points where older people were unable to adequately meet the needs they had as they aged due to the financial situation they were getting into in their twilights. But like with the criticism of Millennials, the bootstraps individual finger-pointing doesn't tell the whole story. And frankly, I am not sure I can think of a single generation that would not be guilty of many similar things being lobbed at Millennials, broadly speaking, as long as you ignore underlying social and economic context.
