If all the millennials were put on an island and left to their own devises how quickly would it fail? Would it turn into "lord of the flies", or would they simply cry until they dehydrate and wither away? I bet the little fuckers couldn't even build shelters without Rhino...

There are some truths to generational stereotypes that are based in sociological issues of the times. Millennials tend to be very thin-skinned, narcissistic, sheltered, and intolerant of others ideas...this is a real phenomenon.

I'm gonna use my life experience to criticize the immature views of people without the experience I have. That makes a lot of sense. I always appreciated it when adults did that to me when I was a kid, too.
Keep the cycle going, wouldn't want to take the higher road, especially since the election said we don't have to.

You wouldn't know nuance if it bit you on the ass. Make a few blanket bullshit statements and then hide behind "some truths". Get the fuck out of here. If you want to be a provocateur then fucking own it. Coward.

it's hard to cope when the skillset you learned 20 years ago is no longer valid, and you're too old/ tired/ stubborn/ proud/ whatever to learn new stuff. it's like you're still excited that you can program the clock on your parent's vcr. might as well take it out on the younger people who can do all the stuff you can't right?

Millennials have sharper eyes and can be real nitpicky about stuff - after learning the basics of Revit they are experts and act like they know more than I do with my 10 years experience. So I just do to them what was done to me - make them work late and do sheet list and cleanup - I had to pay my dues - these fresh out of college punks will have to pay their dues too - nobody rides for free - what I had to go through they will have to and so the draconian culture continues
