The Tweet That Inspired This Post:

[Doom.]

We are the most logically balanced. Convinced the machine hate us.

That tweet should also add, "while struggling myself" at the end.

 

[Josy Jo]

I think it’s reactionary behavior to not falling in line. Most people don’t like when you don’t just follow along.

 

[Based Jesus]

We're the empathy generation. No other generation before us could relate to each other with the ease we can due to technology. We're also on pace to be the only generation to end poorer than the one before it so that factors in too. When you know what it's like to struggle, you're more likely to be willing to help other struggling people.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

They probably do it to be able to post it online for their internet friends. I question the motives but the work is being done so I guess that is what matters.

 

[Doom.]

The pursuit for attention is the downfall.

 

[tr1ll]

In other words, more self absorbed and bigger suckers.

That tweet should also add, "while struggling myself" at the end.

Sometimes I'll scrape together enough money to get my favorite takeout, but I don't have enough to leave a decent tip so I settle for McDonald's/Taco Bell.

Millennials are libs, soy bois, broke dudes and ugly guys. I am a millennial but I am a conservative.

Wanna gunna say this + probably get/got shamed into giving too.

So you still broke and ugly?

 

[Mark Antony]

No he is a conservative. Same, but different.

 

[gentrification]

**** everybody

 

[htg designs]

You can't accurately measure giving.

 

[finessence]

Suckers born.......... nvm

 

[finessence]

If you ain’t got no disposable income it makes no sense to give.

 

[thunderchunk69]

Millennials are so far into debt they don't consider saving.

The average millennial is thousands in debt, has little in the bank, yet loves vacation

Millennials are struggling to stay financially afloat these days thanks to rising rent, and student loan debt.

Everyone is celebrating being poorer then their parents

Who’s to say that? If capable I’d rather help ppl.

 

[finessence]

Who’s to say that? If capable I’d rather help ppl.

bruh, You just answered your own question. CAPABLE would mean you have extra funds.

If I don’t have extra money (disposable income) and I’m barely scrapping by, I’m not overextending myself, only for my children.

 

[Josy Jo]

Eh, we different. If don’t really got the dough (and sometimes I don’t) and I’m about to go spend the little I have on some ice cream and then I look over and see some hobo asking for money I’ma just give it to him/her instead. I don’t need the ice cream, but they may need the money.

I’ve given $10+ on numerous occasions. I worked as hotel bellman for years so trust me, I know all about generosity. But for those 4,5, or 6 months out the year when I’m struggling sorry. Not doing it. Go walk up to the guy driving a Bentley, Ferrari, or up to date foreign car. Cause I ain’t got it.

you gone be just like that hobo, you keep giving away all your money like that, knowing you’re struggling to make ends meet.

But humanity.

Let me hold $5 then

 

[Josy Jo]

Hold or have? And are you going through a tough time financially?

 

[isyouserious]

I hate being labeled a millennial just because I was born in a certain time period. F all that noise.
