Social Do we need to snowflake shame millennials?

What’s wrong with anyone questioning safety?

Some apprentices can be a pain in the arse but they’re not all cunts.

I find some of the older engineers I’m responsible for harder to manage as they want to do it the way they’ve always done it.

Times change.

Questioning safety isn't the issue of something is actually unsafe. But saying I feel unsafe to just get out of doing something is the issue. My safety record is pristine because i am obsessive about constantly auditing our jobsite. I was once the victim of a negligent foreman and had a nasty accident. I refuse to do that to any of the guys in my crew.

Yeah, we know who we are talking about. It's not like if you were born in 81, instead of 80, something magically changed.

If you were in your teens during the 90's, that is a very different person than someone that was a teen in the 2000's.

Hell even the cusp people who were 10, in 99, are way different than someone who was 10 in 2005.

The cutoff seems to actually be born before 1990, vs after.

i agree with this completely.

Is that your TDS kicking in? Must come with your advanced age. Stop bitching you old cunt.

I'm technically a millennial, had the whole overprotective parents thing. They prevented me from doing anything in order to assuage their own insecurities that "something" would go wrong. It's really fucked up when you think about, you destroy your children's liberty and independence to make yourself feel better. Like... get a prescription for that anxiety you fucking retard.
Despite this, I didn't turn out to have any of the typical "millennial" beliefs. Those beliefs are nonsense, not intellectually rigorous. Every time you try to generalize en entire generation, you're going to fail pretty hard.
Seems to me the under 24 or so people are really the issue. You can't have a debate on them on many issues. They've accepted a certain narrative as true and they're not willing to go back and examine why they have those assumptions and whether those assumptions are valid. Older generations tend to be at least open to have the debate, even if they're uncomfortable about it.

First of all, Renard, let me congratulate on what you did there. Liked from beginning to end.

If being able to understand that the whole world doesn't revolve around you and your views already poses a challenge to most people, you also got bombarded with all that helicopter parenting & stuff and was still able to see that, takes a lot of pulse buddy.

Now, on what you said, you don't have to take it literally, there's that term the exception that proves the rule, which while we could certainly put you there for a group as large as an entire human generation it's not hard to guess these exceptions are certainly more than a single one.

Afaicr it was hungarian philosopher Karl Popper who coined the term "there are no absolute truths in science", yet we can't accept there are no absolute truths in science without considering it... an absolute truth in science.
See? Never say never, Justin Bieber was a skeptical scientist all along and we though he was an annoying brat lol

Either ways, cheers mate, I'm glad you're a fighter.

To be fair there's plenty of boomers and gen-xers who could use a good snowflake shaming themselves. Let's not give in to this generational identity business. It's weird.

Didn't read much, but in general, yes...yes we do.

This lame 90's conservative-like cancel culture from the left, must be stamped out and rendered impotent. Just like the Christian Conservatives of the 90's were relegated to joke status over time.

There are currently probably 50 Christian Conservatives for every one "cancel culture" person today.

You act like this is new and that your generation was not already soft. Running the streets until 10:00? My grandfather was from the coal mining region of PA. He worked bootleg coal mines after he finished grammar school and then legit mines later with a brief break to fight WW2 and then Korea. A typical day when he was 15 was to work 12 hours blasting and hauling coal, stop by a bar for a beer with his brothers where fights were common and then head home. I suspect by the time you were hanging on the streets to 10:00 very few folks your age were “manning up” like his generation. I don’t mean this as a criticism, but simply want to point out that you are more near the end than the beginning of a multigenerational slide toward less risk, less violence, and a more secure lifestyle.

Makes for whiney people I would rather spit on then shake their hand, that's all I'm saying.

I'm sure some coal miner from the 40's felt the same about me.

In fact I remember my grandpa "boxing my ears" for really minor stuff, and me crying about it, and my mom holding him back from giving me something to really cry about.

I never answered the 2nd part of your post, my apologies:

Most of the older guys respect me because they're the ones who trained me. I have a policy on the site, "do it my way 1st, so if it doesn't work, it's my fault"

Yeah, and who's wielding more power with censorship these days? You'd be hard pressed to to find Christian Conservatives have any influence at all, in that regard.

Meanwhile, saying that giving your prepubescent child hormone therapy to "transition" is potentially dangerous(plus a million other totally sane positions), causes one to make a choice in Hollywoke. Apologize, or have your career destroyed.

lol at you weirdos pretending you interact with enough people to have an opinion on this.

I love how globalists have doubled down and amped up their antics and it falls on ‘millennials’

Yeah, a bunch of powerless young people are the reason things are the way they are.

"Useful idiots" is the correct term.

It's not even a generational thing. There are a ton of bitter ass childless women who spearhead this outrage culture. Look at the pussy march for instance. Most of those women were between the ages of 40-60 and they were fucking nuts.

First, I'm glad we can atleast agree women are the problem here.

I blame terrorist women with kids, who have cowered their men, when it comes to raising children.

You blame bitter dried up women.

But atleast we have bi-partisan agreement that cunts are the problem.

It's not even their fault. They are emotional beings. I blame the men who gave them power. In the words of the AVGN:

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?

I just watched Dark Phoenix, and at the end of the movie I learned that emotions are strength.

Either you're a teenager (thus past-millenial, which is good, post-millenials are far more sane/reasonable than the previous) and both are right you you're millenial, and he's still right.
