They are holding their bags pretty tight, specially in tech.
Gen X is a mixed bag. They seem to be bailing out and retiring while they still can. I don't see them being the devastating cuntbags like Boomers were. The real crux of Gen X is how they raised their kids in the face of a rapidly changing world that they didn't keep up with. To be honest, it's hard for me to blame them for that. What I WILL blame them for is their refusal to understand that and blame their kids for their ineptitude. The Yuppies can also fuck themselves.
I know several people who are like this, people without a drive, like they were promised a good life without effort.
I understand this, however you have to understand this is relatively normal. Some people are just like this. It can take a few cracks to commit to something. The thing you need to do though, is make sure you're learning a bit from all of these and take what you figure out into your back pocket. It might not be useful today, but information and data is always useful. Someday, maybe they will open that bakery and if they've been practicing some recipes on and off over the years. The bottom line is, no venture is useless, so long as you can take SOMETHING from it.
When you get into larger businesses, that's the idea. It doesn't matter if your business goes bankrupt or fails, your business failed, not you. You still keep the assets and the experience. That's why CEOs who go bankrupt still get CEO jobs.
I honestly expected more of generation that doesn't have to go to library to get a book to read. All information at the touch of a finger, yet, not even the slightest interest to it
Why do you expect them to? People don't do ANYTHING unless they have to. The only time children are sponges are when they're young. After that, they won't want to learn. If you drown out their curiosity with goyslop like Ms.Rachel, you'll destroy their minds.
The only "mainstream" shit we even have nowadays is for self serving faggots and women and you can't even bond over it or enjoy it socially without being, you guessed it, a fag or a woman.
I said this same thing in the video games thread and got lambasted for it. It enraged every single screaming autistic faggot that maybe the death of AAA gaming and a centralized "gaming culture" wasn't a good thing. They all said indie is better, they have thousands of games now and they unironically don't see a problem with this because they're morons.
So let me elaborate on my point. Culture is a sign industries are healthy and growing and alive. When you get no central video game culture, AAA games fail. When indies flood the market by the thousands, it diversifies what people play. At first this seems great, but as AAA fails and crumbles and breaks apart, all those former employees have to go SOMEWHERE. So you'll see indie games rise. Except, there's no fucking money in them because there's thousands of them. Eventually you get to today, where there's so much bloat, and AI rising, you're facing a complete industry collapse against all spectrums. Zoomers fail to grasp this concept for some reason.
20 year old zoomie here. This part cut through.
Good. Don't fall for the grind set mindset. These people WILL fail. If people got rich off of cheap penny stocks, then penny stocks wouldn't be worth a penny. If you got rich from doing 3 jobs and working 24/7, everyone would do it. The "5 People Closest" to you thing is bullshit too. People only impact you as much you let them. The Zoomers are full fucking bullshit slop financial advice from sloptubers.
In some ways the gym is almost too easy. Women go and walk on a treadmill for 20 mins every other day and consider it all done. No need to reduce their doomscrolling or better their mental health; they work out! Yass!
In some ways it absolutely is. The reality is mental health is a load of bullshit too. I won't get into that here, but mental health is a scam to get to you buy into grifter bullshit.
What's left to strive for? All jobs are in decline and there's entire industries about to be shelfed by AI. I read somewhere that zoomers stay kids long into their 20s because none of the benefits of becoming an adult are there anymore. Can't afford a house, can't afford a kid, can't knock up the wife cause she's busy streaming on Chaturbate.
People were sold lies about motivation. Your motivation should begin and end at forming habits and fulfilling your basic needs. If the need doesn't exist for something, you probably won't have motivation to do it. That just how people operate. It doesn't just come out of nowhere. So if you don't have a kid, there's no motivation to try harder than your current comfort level. Some people just function better when they have to rise to the occasion. Unfortunately we're taught and raised the opposite way. "You shouldn't have kids to until you have a 6-figure income", but if you aren't in a rush, and you're comfortable where you are, you won't pursue that 6 figure income immediately.
If I want anything to get done, then I have to organize it, but that’s life for you I guess
Unfortunately, yeah. In every group of friends you'll find that it's pretty much one or two people who fill a role. There's the one who has the place, the one who calls everyone, the one who always shows up, etc. etc. It doesn't change no matter how old you get.
