Ok, at this point you're just a complete asshole, who's assuming they know me and the people I know, assuming the worst, and STILL refuses to refute a SINGLE point I made while regurgitating the same shit over and over. You know NOTHING about me, and in fact, seem to actively ignore the only thing I've said about myself about how I'm an outlier here in that most of this DOES NOT apply to me.
You know NOTHING about how hard working I am, how hard working my friends or family are. Yet you sit on your golden throne passing judgement on me and everyone I know, as well as my entire generation while ignoring every empirically provable fact I've presented.
I'm happy things apparently have worked out for you and your kids, but a family of 6 does not make a sample size for a group 71 million strong.
I just accept you people are so out of touch with reality and so far up your own ass that there's no reasoning with you. You people offer no REAL solutions, just these stupid vague "solutions" about that don't solve anything. I haven't even brought up how EVERY MAJOR COMPANY ON THE PLANET has now switched to AI based resume review that automatically rejects 75% of ALL resumes before a human ever sees them based on some retarded DEI or ESG criteria (https://www.forbes.com/sites/karadennison/2026/03/11/why-ai-is-rejecting-your-resume-before-humans-see-it/)
On top of EVERYTHING ELSE I've brought up mind you. I could bring up dozens of more points in favor of my argument, DOZENS, all factually and empirically provable. But NOTHING will ever satisfy you dumbasses. The LITERAL ONLY possible explanation in your mind is that we're all lazy do nothings who don't want to work hard or some other stupid completely false generalization. There can be NO OTHER POSSIBLE explanation.
AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T ADDRESSED A SINGLE POINT, THIS:> "Try imagining a job description in your field that only you can do, because you do it better than anyone else can. You are the product and you need to learn how to sell yourself to your chosen industry. Advertised jobs are not where the real opportunities are. Try writing your own job description for a job that needs to be created for which your industry has an unmet need, and then go out and sell your skills set as the solution. That is what will open doors, get you past the HR drones, their phony job postings and those alleged career squashing "women" you think are holding you back. Man up.">
Is not a real solution. I mean for God's sake, you even said "alleged" about women getting 90% of the new jobs created annually when I gave you LITERAL PROVABLE EVIDENCE OF IT. This DOES NOT WORK IN MODERN DAY.
I just can't fathom being this far up my own ass, that I literally ignore factual evidence, and tell someone to just "will" a job into existence basically. Even if this DID freaking work, which it doesn't, you'd STILL have to compete with the immigrants that are willing to do the EXACT SAME JOB, for pennies compared to you.
It's like you people live in some fantasy world, where things work like they did in old sit coms where you could just walk into a hardware store or garage, show you're of good character and BAM, instant lifetime career. I'd love if that were true, but its not. No one freaking cares anymore. Its all about who will do the bare minimum for the least pay.
And NONE OF THIS EVEN ADDRESSES THE MAIN POINT, that even if you COULD get an entry level position somewhere, you STILL WILL NOT BE MAKING A LIVING WAGE, because to live a "normal life" like what someone in 1990 did, you'd have to be making over a $100K MINIMUM. So regardless of if you somehow manage to magically will this hypothetical job into existence using boomer magic, you STILL wouldn't be making enough to be anything other than a forever renter.
The ENTIRE POINT of ALL of this, is that the lifestyle people WANT, what USED TO BE FREAKING NORMAL, one working parent, one job, kids, and an owned home, is LITERALLY UNOBTAINABLE, for the vast majority of people born after 2000, under the current system and circumstances.
Not everyone can join the military, not everyone can be a lawyer, or a doctor, not everyone can get lucky and somehow magically make what you're saying work if it somehow DID work. It USED to be that ANYONE could work just about ANY basic job that wasn't fast food, and have that kind of lifestyle. Basic, but nice and satisfying. That's not true today.
I just seriously cannot wrap my head around being this far up my own ass about any given topic, but I give up, you win. You're more stubborn than me. Congratulations. I'm out, I can't be bothered to keep arguing with someone who refuses see ANY kind of reason, ignores EVERY bit of empirical evidence, and just keeps regurgitating the same shit over and over that's just so blatantly WRONG with such unjustified confidence. Namely because the world has changed GREATLY in the past several decades. The world post 2008 is so different from pre 2008, and post 2020 with pre 2020, that you can't even compare recent history with the circumstances previous generations lived through. EVEN the freaking silent generation that lived through the great depression EVENTUALLY got a legitimate economic break with WW II, which jumpstarted EVERYTHING to the point it created the greatest economic conditions in modern history for any given generation. Trump is helping yeah, but until this system collapses, its not enough to completely reverse all of this damage. I just give up on arguing this, there's no winning against you people who are so WRONG, yet have this bizarre unshakable confidence in being right DESPITE being provably wrong. Its literally like arguing with a liberal on twitter. No matter how much you prove them wrong, they just ignore anything they don't like, pretend like it doesn't exist and continue spouting the same bullshit like no one just literally disproved what they said. This is the exact same thing. And its ONLY on this topic. In ANY OTHER TOPIC OR CONDITION, EVERYONE would agree there's a systemic problem because of the cabal, banks, giant investment funds, etc. colluding to create a class of forever renter serfs/slaves, but when it comes to this specific demographic of younger people ALL OF THAT goes out the window and you people REFUSE to accept the same is true for younger generations.
You can't have it both ways. Either the cabal is colluding to make everyone a forever renter slave making JUST ENOUGH to not starve to death, or everyone is a lazy ass and there's 10s of millions of high paying six figure jobs out there that nobody wants for some absolutely insane reason because they're too lazy to work.
Both CANNOT be true at the same time.
But whatever, I said I'm done and I mean it this time. I have better things to do than argue with some dumbass who's convinced he's the only correct person on the planet, and everyone else living their lives is wrong about what's going on in their lives. Enjoy your golden throne, oh arbiter of work ethics and judge of the youth.
I'm done arguing with someone who wants to live in fantasy world and refuses to accept reality while openly denying factual evidence and refusing to actually refute a single argument I've presented. You've literally not debunked a single point I made and do nothing but default to calling me, everyone I know, and everyone in my entire generation lazy while knowing NOTHING about any of us.
This is like arguing with a leftist, you're incapable of making an actual argument. All you say is "prove your worth, market yourself, you're lazy". Well smart one, as I pointed out its PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to prove yourself OR your worth, when there are NO ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS. As I ALREADY pointed out, nearly a third of all jobs are fake, and of what IS real 90%+ of NEW jobs go to women, while older generations aren't retiring because they can't afford to, meaning there's no CHANCE to prove yourself.
I just, really cannot fathom being this stupid and so far up your own ass with self righteousness, that you absolutely refuse to accept factual evidence and reality just so you can shit on an entire generation from your golden throne.
I PERSONALLY don't even blame boomers, since they just lived how was normal in their time. You can't blame people for just doing what was normal 60 years ago. But what DOES make me hate older people is this absolute refusal to admit that times have changed and INSIST in the most condescending, arrogant manner that everyone else on the planet is WRONG and only THEY are right, and the job market hasn't changed in decades when you PHYSICALLY SEE that's a lie. I'm just speechless as the retardation at work with this entire world view.
You're nothing more than an arrogant ass who's incapable of seeing any other point of view than your own, and people like you are the reason "young people" hate everyone older than 55 at this point. I wish no ill will, but this is literally why young people hate every older generation at this point.
This isn't even a "I'm right vs you're wrong" type of situation, since the OBVIOUS SOLUTION is lower taxes, lower or no immigration, and reshoring manufacturing and supply chains. Something EVERYONE agrees upon, but for reasons I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT FATHOM, you older people have this absurd cognitive dissonance where you'll say that in one breath and in the next breath INSIST TO THE DEATH, that young people are lazy and every problem in their life is self inflicted.
I'm not saying worthless stoner dumbasses that actually ARE self inflicted losers aren't a thing, they obviously are, but I just can't understand why you people REFUSE with your entire being to acknowledge that most of the problems are systemic and made to work against you BECAUSE the cabal want's a class of permanently renting slaves/serfs with zero upwards mobility.
It's freaking baffling how everyone can acknowledge all of this, but MAGICALLY when its everyone under 35 its EVERYTHING is OUR fault, and not the cabal, the government, the corrupt greedy CEOs and investment funds, etc. Everyone else, its the cabal and company, but magically if you're under 35 its your own fault and no one else's.
You people make no sense, have no argument, and your LITERAL ONLY comeback is "market yourself, you're lazy" while REFUSING to acknowledge a single factual, and sourced argument I and everyone else on my side have made. Its literally like arguing with a liberal on twitter. You have no argument, but you're SO FREAKING CONFIDENT in your own world view, that you ignore any and all proof to the contrary and insist its not you that's wrong, its everyone else on the planet that's wrong. It's just freaking mind boggling to me
Typical boomer response. Say a whole lot of nothing, while ignoring the problem. You kind of prove my point too, since apparently you're in a lawyer adjacent field from your OWN admission of owning a scientific and legal advisory firm for more than thirty years and I SPECIFICALLY said lawyers and doctors are some of the only exceptions to what I'm saying, but even then that's not ALWAYS true.
Also you do a WHOLE LOT of assuming. None of yours or anyone else's business what I personally do, but I'm an outlier since I'm more or less self employed because I went through college and then graduated during covid where NOBODY WOULD HIRE ANYONE for years afterward FOR ANYTHING. And God ended up providing me with a path that led me that way.
But again, I'm an outlier, of my graduating class, I can count on one hand the number of people that actually found decent jobs. I know people that went through veterinary and engineering school, that TO THIS DAY, cannot find a relevant job for their degrees and have no choice but to work at Amazon warehouses. One of them moved across the country for a job, was lead on for a month with "multi round interviews" and then was passed up for an Indian and had to move back where we all grew up. So you can't even say its just the area we all live in, because even when people try and move to where the jobs supposedly are, they STILL can't get their foot in the door.
Which again, disproves all of your dumbass assumptions about people being just "lazy" since you can't get through vet school or engineering school while being lazy
So please, do shut the hell up with all of your assumptions. You didn't address a SINGLE problem I pointed out about the reality of today. THIS is why people hate older generations with a burning passion. LITERALLY its like a parody. I take time out of my day to point out all of the real problems, give statistical evidence and proof of my claims, links to said proof, and then YOU come along and just write a giant response claiming me and everyone my age are just lazy while ignoring EVERY SINGLE POINT I MADE.
It's so pathetic how you people are capable of looking at the depths of things and coming up with these autistic spiderweb charts for things like Q proofs that end up ACTUALLY being true and making sense, that require deep critical thinking, but when it comes to this ONE specific topic, anything involving people under the age of 35, its like all logic and reason go out the window for most people on this site.
I just don't understand it and can't fathom it. The cognitive dissonance required is almost to the same level of the mental gymnastics liberals have to justify their viewpoints. Like is it THIS hard to believe that economic conditions have changed in such a way that things are harder and worse in 30+ years? Like, seriously, people on this board and elsewhere will bitch about blackrock being evil for creating a class of slaves/serfs that literally can't afford to buy a house with DEI and ESG policies while buying up all the single family homes, and in the SAME EXACT BREATH, call everyone under the age of 35 lazy, stupid, unmotivated, etc. and blame them for their own circumstances. And then when confronted on it, they just do EXACTLY what you just did to me, and ignore EVERY SINGLE POINT anyone makes in favor of the lazy card, while PROVING MY POINTS, about how you describe circumstances and a reality that no longer exists and insist everyone just somehow make it work anyway?
I can't fathom this level of cognitive dissonance, like it ACTUALLY dumbfounds me we have people like this on our side. For whatever reason, this specific topic lowers people on our side to the same level as the typical liberal so they can self justify their position while ignoring any facts on the matter at hand.
I'm fully prepared to be shat upon and dog piled for this, but with few exceptions everyone in this thread is a dumbass that needs to stop sniffing their own farts.
I swear sometimes everyone on this site MUST be a dumbass boomer or something. They describe situations and circumstances that simply don't exist in modern day and insist that younger generations replicate them to "help themselves". How're you supposed to do ANYTHING any of the people in this thread insist upon when literally EVERYTHING is against you.
For example, everything described by the top comment in this thread (by u/killerspacerobot) was ONLY possible because of the GI bill, early life starts from the military (which was MUCH better comparatively back in that era compared to modern day and its not like literally everyone can join the military anyway), AND the greatest economy in the modern era in the post WW II boom era.
Compare that to today. Lets look at the job market alone as an isolated factor since pretty much every other problem STEMS from the horrid job market.
So lets start shall we? Literally a fifth to a third of all jobs postings you see online DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST: https://vidcruiter.com/resources/fake-and-ghost-jobs/
That's right, 20-30% of all job postings are scams meant to get your information and don't actually exist. Didn't have to deal with that did you?
Second point, in terms of new jobs ACTUALLY produced in recent years, they OVERWHELMING go to women: https://www.npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-s1-5773327/women-men-jobs-health-care-manufacturing
That's right, women, in any given year as of late, make up 80-95%+ of ALL new jobs created.
Thirdly, many older generations are strangling the economy by refusing to retire: https://fortune.com/2026/05/25/boomers-generational-inequality-housing-market-no-starter-homes/
On that last point I WILL say I don't entirely blame OLDER workers, a lot of them can't help it since they CAN'T AFFORD to retire. But its still a fact that there're consequences for younger generations from that. They don't retire, gen X and other "medium age" generations don't get to move up to replace them, and therefore, there's no space or entry level jobs for Gen Z to "step up and fill". Companies don't just hire for the sake of hiring. They hire because there's a position to be filled.
I could go on and on and make an entire novel about how today's environment is NOTHING like you people keep describing, so its comparing apples to oranges, but I think I've made my point. And keep in mind I haven't even brought in the H1B visa and illegal immigrant problem.
Everyone says "be a truck driver" or "Go learn a trade". Alright, fine. How does anyone compete against the illegals willing to work under the table for pennies on the dollar or some punjabi who chain migrated and was handed a license and likewise will ALSO work for scraps?
You can't.
This has admittedly gotten BETTER since Trump got back in office, but its nowhere near good enough to fix things to make that an entirely viable route yet.
So please, do tell everyone under the age of 35 what the hell they're supposed to do exactly? The entire deck is stacked against you, its near impossible to get your foot in through the door anywhere that isn't some dead end minimum wage job at an amazon warehouse or fast food joint, neither of which will pay you enough for ANYTHING needed to start a "normal life", no one can begin to afford a house, start a family, etc. etc.
And when anyone brings UP these points, all you older people do is bitch and gripe about how "X generation did it" while giving anecdotes about circumstances that LITERALLY DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE.
Don't get me wrong, I'm confident this WILL change eventually, it HAS to or this is all for naught. But being an arrogant ass every time someone brings up how shit things are today to the point of being nearly insurmountable doesn't do anything by make younger generations HATE older generations more. I know people in their 20s that literally hate boomers to the point of wishing death to the entire generation because of much they've screwed up the economy for everyone else. I don't CONDONE that obviously, but its easy to see why the sentiment is there.
And this isn't even getting into some of the other dumbass comments in this thread talking about stupid shit like "get off the video games" or just calling young people whiny for pointing out reality, or compare today to the depression like its somehow comparable. Newsflash, during the depression you could STILL make money from illegal, but socially acceptable, methods like moonshining, and the cost of living was INFINITELY lower than today. Even in the worst economic crash in human history, there was STILL SOME opportunity. We don't even have THAT today since the modern equivalent would be becoming a drug dealer and I doubt many people are gonna advocate for that. You ALSO didn't have to compete with millions of indians, arabs, illegals, and sihks for EVERY REAL JOB. Back then, it was ACTUALLY merit based. If you proved yourself a good worker there was a legitimate chance someone WOULD hire you for SOMETHING. Nowadays its all about chain migration, visa hopping, and working under the table.
AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON TAXES. The tax burden in earlier generations was INFINITELY LOWER than todays taxes and not a single person here will deny or argue that since every one of you bitch about that just as much as everyone else, but VERY CONVENIENTLY forget about how much lower it used to be when comparing circumstances today for Gen Z and younger with the circumstances of older generations.
NOT TO MENTION INFLATION, where the purchasing power of the dollar has falling more than 95% since 1900. So while wages haven't really grown since the late 80s-early 90s, inflation just kept chugging along.
Here's a hand little tool for everyone: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
Take a 40K income in 1990, wanna know how much that adjusts to in 2026? $102,562.51, a 156.4% increase. What's the median individual (not household) income in the US? $45,140 as of the last tracking from the central bank of st louis (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N)
Meaning since 1990, the median income has went up about 5K, while the cost of living has more than doubled. But oh everyone is supposed to just "magically" make things work by working at McDonalds or an Amazon warehouse or something right? We're supposed to just ignore that People working a $40K job in the 90s were basically the equivalent of someone making six figures today right? And last I checked, there's no such thing as an entry level six figure job for any non doctor/lawyer profession.
I swear I love you guys on here like a second family most of the time, I've prayed for people and BEEN prayed for by people on here more than IRL church people I know and I appreciate that more than most will ever know, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual for most, but whenever ANYTHING involving anyone under the age of 35 comes up, its like the retard switch flips in most people's head and they become the most illogical dumbasses I've ever seen
I highly doubt it, NC has been trending redder and redder every year, even WITH cheating. I mean for pete's sake, they have a republican supermajority in their state legislature. The dem governor is an outlier that they cheated in. Keep in mind they ALSO said massie had like a 74% chance of winning his primary up until literally yesterday.
Polls aren't meant to reflect reality, they're meant to try and FORM public opinion.
Its all a lie anyway. An overwhelming majority of that "growth" comes from bisexuals, pansexuals, etc. Basically anything that allows a woke moron to claim they're NOT straight while being straight. Its usually dumb college age women saying stupid crap like that to try and get a "protected status", but then proceed to literally NEVER date anything but guys.
You can find an equal number of polls showing that acceptance of the queer crap among younger generations is falling off a cliff. You ALSO have to account for life expectancy. Most non straights have DRASTICALLY lower life expectancy. Its a statistical fact that a majority of queers will at least ATTEMPT suicide at least once before they're 30. And a large percentage of them end up dying early from some STD (or cocktail of STDs in a lot of cases) because they're so promiscuous by nature.
So a lot of these people being polled years ago, are likely dead now. Which is one of the problems with these types of polls. Its not like we put whether someone was gay or not on their death certificates, so they can poll them, and then they either kill themself or die of some venereal disease within a year or so. This isn't that big a problem when talking about statistics that make up LARGE portions of the population, but when its sub 10% that can make large swings in ACTUAL population numbers in reality.
Overall, these numbers are a lie through and through. I don't know, nor do I pretend to know what the ACTUAL numbers are. But they're nowhere near what they try to say they are. They only say its so high to try and force an agenda and convince everyone its "normal", when its not
Hence why I don't like him, but considering immigration is a federal level I'm not that worried about considering he has no authority over the subject if he becomes a governor
I don't particularly like him, but as far as his like economic principles, he's not that bad. As long as he doesn't start trying to import a bunch of third worlders it should be fine, which that's a federal thing anyway, so not like he can do much there.
I'm not saying it would be MY choice, but there's MUCH worse choices out there. Granted I don't live in Ohio, so I don't get a vote in the matter anyway.
Like most things, I'm just sitting on the side to see what actually happens, but on the whole things have been going our way for the most part, so I'll withhold judgement till I see what actually happens
Is that a quote from someone important I'm unaware of? Showing my ignorance here a bit
I'll try this, thanks
Thanks, like I keep saying I appreciate everyone here.
Thank you, I appreciate it more than I can express in words
Thanks i'll try that
Decently well, probably not like I should, but better than most. This has been an on and off thing since new years but here in the past couple of weeks its really turned up for me to the point of being near unbearable some days.
I don't disagree, but at the same time it's a verifiable fact that certain things WERE left out of the Bible when the first Church was established. Even if you DON'T think that the Bible has been manipulated throughout history to some extent or another (which a lot of people do, see the scholfield Bible controversy for example), a large number of Biblical texts were left out of the Bible by the council of Nicea simply for practical reasons. They needed a book that could easily be travel size to send out into the world with evangelists. Its hardly practical to carry an entire library with you back in the early AD days to preach EVERY single Biblical text. That's how things like the dead sea scrolls, the book of giants, etc. etc. came about that most people consider to be accurate and ALSO true.
Want to give a brief cliff notes for the class? I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say I've TRIED to look into such things before, but it quickly becomes overwhelming and starts running together when trying to understand and conceptualize it
Not sure what you mean at certain parts was worded kind of oddly.
Aliens are the NASA lie for the season to change back to a time of God. But they will; what is the Hebrew word for deceive? They will deceive man kind and put fear in place of a sky event. Biblical vs Aliens based on them Telling the Masses a vision of the future that is not real.
Like, hard to make out what you totally meant here
If anyone would care to actually look into this, instead of just reading a headline, they're not ACTUALLY shutting down the forest service. They're restructuring it because, like literally everything else the federal government touches, its turned into a bloated beast that does nothing while sucking off tax dollars.
Basically, they're shutting down most of the regional offices and consolidating operations in a Utah office while moving to a "state led" model where 15 regional state officials (some obviously in charge of multiple states), are meant to cooperate and organize with the state level forest services to manage their individual forests. For example, instead of having to sign off for DOZENS, hundreds of people to do a controlled burning in say, Montana now, and get approval from EVERYONE in ALL the surrounding states (of which colorado would hold things up being a retarded blue state who WANTS everything to be complicated and as hard to do as possible), if they get the sign off from the one guy at the fed level, the Montana state level officials can do ANY controlled burn without approval or sign off or any say so from ANY of the surrounding states (again including colorado who would be the asshat in this specific scenario).
So like pretty much everything else Trump has done, he's basically fired most of the worthless federal workers who do nothing to justify their job and leech taxpayer money to make things worse and just let things take their natural course towards a better solution.
No? Joe Rogan has been number one for a LONG time, candace owns is ranked in the 20s from what I found from a quick google search. Even if you narrow it down to political podcasts specifically, she's like fifth or sixth.
Which I will admit is bigger than I initially assumed, so I'll concede I was wrong there. But she's nowhere near number one no matter how you look at it
Do people seriously still listen to her? I stopped when she basically became a celebrity tabloid covering that stupid Justin Baldoni thing religiously and insisted on reminding us that she was pregnant every 30 seconds.
Even before that I was suspect because her husband is a member of the british aristocracy, so pretty much anything she said needed to be examined under a magnifying glass.
Nowadays she's just having straight up mental breakdowns because her base is turning against her
Polymarket isn't exactly the best metric of prediction. These people are all degenerate gamblers trying to make some money off the next election. There's a bunch of betting contracts saying the exact opposite as well. Basically, people are betting a lot on long shots hoping to "hit it big" because they're gambling addicts. And don't fool yourself, the type of people using polymarket are OVERWHELMINGLY gambling addicts. Not exactly the type of population subset that accurately represents the overall US population considering the majority of people don't gamble at all, and have no desire to bet money on things like elections.
They're not polling, polymarket is a gambling website where you can bet on literally anything. These are people betting on seats flipping, they typically take the form of contracts, there's a DIFFERENT set of contracts saying the exact opposite. Polymarket is a kind of crap metric for trying to predict anything since you get degenerate gamblers putting all their money on long shots trying to "hit it big".
Everyone in the comments both on here and on that site, is retarded. Most of these special elections have low turnout by nature because a majority of people don't even freaking know they're going on. People associate elections with november by default so ANY election that doesn't happen in november has absurdly low turnout compared to a november election with very few exceptions, so its entirely possible (very likely in fact) that this seat will flip back red in the fall (assuming the sky doesn't start falling by then and the crap hits the fan).
Same with that seat in Texas. Context matters in these types of things so assuming doom and gloom worst case scenarios IMMEDIATELY is retarded
I don't believe it, didn't they just lie about DDSL5? Why would we believe them about this?
I pretty much do the same, I pretty much never leave a comment, but I'll upvote and pray for anyone making a prayer request on principle. Jesus said where two or three gather he'd be right there with them. So it's the least any of can do to take two or three minutes out of our day and pray for a brother or sister in need when we SEE they need some help.
