9/11 affected like 1 country. Y2K was nothing. Plague? You mean covid? That was overly hyped and these lemmings probably cheered the restrictions and lockdowns, which is why we have the 2nd recession and they're probably got ukraine flags in their bio too
Whom the millennials enthusiastically vote for and support, while guzzling down their propaganda and paradoxically calling themselves anti establishment.
I think it's the hypocrisy and lack of perspective that I hate the most.
Fuck off boomer don't blame us for having to deal with the messes you left behind. All this shit is a consequence of decades of your flippant voting habits and you know it.
Hurr durr millennials caused 911 and the ensuing surveillance state that made covid possible, which they also caused like ww3 eat the fattest of dicks
The funniest part to me about watching millennials bicker about boomers is that from the point of view of everyone else, both generations are equally worthless.
I can still remember when I kinda enjoyed reddit, in a guilty pleasure way, maybe 10 years ago. Now it's nothing but ragescrolling retarded posts like this
From what I understand it was actually a reasonably hefty undertaking to re-architect many of those systems because they were built back when optimization was actually important due to an extreme lack of resources. You know, back when shaving off two whole digits from a date was something you'd do because you actually needed the freed up bytes in order to get just that little bit of wiggle room to make the rest of the system logic fit into place. It's difficult for us to imagine now, given how plentiful computing power is. Also keep in mind that a lot of those systems that would have caused trouble weren't your home PC but embedded systems in industrial hardware or the like, where resources were even more at a premium.
Your perception of it being a non-issue is because the autists in the background were good at their job.
It's also nothing compared to the 2038 problem. Unlike Y2k, where the things that needed to change were mostly display-side, and the few things to get missed weren't critical, it is virtually guaranteed that central infrastructure in multiple countries will be missed. Then, in the early morning of January 19, 2038, UTC, these central systems will suddenly believe its December 12, 1912.
I really hope civilization holds together long enough for the 2038 issue to actually be a genuine concern. At this point I'm not terribly optimistic that the infrastructure failures it inflicts will even be a noticeable change from all the infrastructure failures we'll be having from diversity.
“A possible World War 3” lolololol. And yet that’s only the second-dumbest thing on the list. Y2K was a joke we all laughed at. At least the other things did in fact occur, I’ll give this fool that much. The trouble they caused you was largely up to you though.
What? I don't remember this being anything at all but some people talking on TV.
9/11
Not to downplay a big terrorist attack, but I just watched this on TV.
Plague
Covid? While maybe the worst period of the last decade of my life, it wasn't from the plague it was from the government
2 Economic Recessions
The work harder thing comes into play here. I had good jobs because of it. I even got fired by a literal crackhead boss during one of these recessions. Becuase I did good work one of the companies we worked with called me within a week and hired me for better money. Then the money side; I've never been paycheck-to-paycheck ever since I lived alone because I chose to not live outside my means and chose to put money aside. Even when I was younger it wasn't much but it was proportional to what I was earning.
WW3
Won't make it before I'm 40. Certainly won't be over Ukraine. No one that matters outside Ukraine really gives a shit about that war, unless it's to milk it for money.
Working harder won't matter the vast majority of the time and I'm already working my hands bloody for minimum wage.
Then the money side; I've never been paycheck-to-paycheck ever since I lived alone because I chose to not live outside my means and chose to put money aside.
Just living can be outside of ones means for a lot of people, most have to rely on the generosity of family.
True that is the hard part. I think I got my break way back from helping a coworker help their parents small business with their computers for like $50 under the table. Turns out they knew someone and I got an in running network cabling. Snowballed from there and within a few years I'm doing on site tech support for a company that was paying my junior college too with enough customers which ended up being more connections when that job went bust.
I guess my point would be the connections can come where you don't expect. I won't disagree that's still a brutal part of it.
If You think living through these things are hardships, I will happily smack the teeth out of your retarded head. Ive been experiencing nothing but positive growth and increased assets since the 2000s with no sliding back. The only hardship has been having to put up with neo fascist cults like the lettered people, blm, the climate lies and covidiots. But it's just a matter of ignoring their retardation.
My grandparents lived through two actual World Wars, including rationing (my grandmother told me about what it was like as both a child, and as a mother with two kids), and the Cold War, the Great Depression and the Dustbowl.
When the covid shit hit, the first thing I stocked up on wasn't TP, it was butter and cooking oil. Fat's always the first thing they ration.
The 2008 recession sucked . Millennials were the first generation to discover that everything they had been promised was a lie. You have 50% koolaid ostriches with their heads in the sand, and fifty percent hyper based chads.
A ''plague'' that was less deadly to people under 35 than the common cold, and about as deadly from 35 to 60.
A ''plague'' so deadly the reaction caused several times more deaths than the virus itself, as Sweden ended-up with the lowest overall excess mortality over the course of the shitshow because they didn't do lockdowns or masks.
Horrible government decisions are destroying the West. Mass population replacement, Intersectional social justice + ''disparate impact restorative BS'', climate hysteria, lockdowns. Those are government policies.
Letting the migrants who did 9/11 inside the country was also a government policy. So are the wars.
Recessions are still part of a natural cycle, but they are not supposed to last this long, be this violent, or be extended past multiple industries and several countries. That's done by the inference.
I used to be like that, but I have a credit card nowadays. Not because I'm invested in the debt. The problem is that the return on my debt is bigger than the return on my savings account, which is done on purpose. You can't fight inflation, you can only outrun it. You have to get your debt-cash and turn it into an asset-money as quickly as you can to maintain your purchasing power.
I'm happy to use my credit cards to buy gold and bitcoin.

Couldn’t have said it better myself
these are the same people that constantly talk about the earth being overpopulated and us needing to get rid of all the crusty old people.
then when a virus comes knocking they're all in on "IF IT SAVES EVEN ONE LIFE!"
Half of which they caused, the other half of which was absolutely nothing of substance. Millennials in a nutshell.
We didn't cause the economic crises. Those are entirely on the bank owners who run the government, and their minions.

Voting doesn't matter. Who you vote for, whether it matters or not, can count you among the enemy.

Gen X, but nice try.
So if we're going with generational guilt, you let the boomers keep running things long past the point where they proved themselves incapable.
The funniest part to me about watching millennials bicker about boomers is that from the point of view of everyone else, both generations are equally worthless.
Every generation is worthless. Trying to place collective blame on entire generations is equally worthless.
That asshole Dan Rather did everyone an evil by tagging people born in the 1920s as "the greatest generation" simply because they had to fight WW II.

All of these were caused directly by government malice and incompetence, except for Y2K, which was caused by media malice and incompetence.
These retards: Boy, we've had it rough, let's give the government more power and have them fix it!

Fifteen years out? I'd say the odds are pretty even.
Fair enough.

My grandparents were alive during the depression and from everything I’ve heard those were rough times.

What are you doing to improve yourself so you can make more than minimum wage?
Connections seem to be the most important thing of all and I have none.

Those aren't fascist, they are communist. The fact that boomers like you cannot correctly identify them is why they exist in the first place.
Actually you need to save your money and act responsibly.

I'm happy to use my credit cards to buy gold and bitcoin.
Just treat your credit card like a debit card, and you'll be fine.
And most of the time you're better off paying with a check or bitcoin order for gold purchases, because there's a 3-5% surcharge on credit cards.
Biggest reason you need credit cards is for shit like hotel stays or rental cars where they put a massive hold on your card, and won't accept debit.
Well, I think the weeks of no rain probably had a pretty big impact on that.
