Well I didn’t want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn’t let me null it out, so I guess I’ll figure out something to put here later.

    I really appreciate this response, I have basically no interest in spending time watching other people play games when I don’t even have time to play them myself very often. As a result, I have no idea who the celebs are in this realm of culture, so thank you for getting me up to speed!

    Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I’m pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.











  • I agree, and I think categorizing generations is always going to be messy. But I think the Oregon Trail Generation/Xennials just seems to be more distinct than most other micro generations. I’m pretty much in the middle of the commonly accepted millennial age bracket and would still consider myself more of a Xennial based off the broad characteristics that have been described, despite falling outside that rough '86 cutoff by a couple years. I know part of it is probably due to how much Millennials get shat on, but it feels like the “Millennial Generation” is an especially weird generation where half the people that are supposedly in it don’t feel like they belong with the other half and many resent the label. To me, the Millennials born after '90 seem quite distinct from those born before '87 and I feel like I’m in the middle and identify more with the Xennials. I’m no sociologist, though, this is just my limited subjective experience.


  • Millennials are a strange generation because I feel like elder millennials and younger millennials are kind of divided by whether they remember a time before the Internet went mainstream or not.

    To your point, another dividing line for Millennials and Gen Z is that Gen Z kids’ first phone was probably a smart phone and they probably got theirs a couple years younger on average than millennials.
