I'm a millennial, ask me anything.
Self | July 29, 2019 | Ulmius

Posted on 07/29/2019 10:32:12 AM PDT by Ulmius

After some thought on the generation gap appearing in today's society, I have decided to reach out to some of you to get a wider dialogue. Here are some basics about me:

- 24 years old (been a Free Republic member since 2014)

- served in the regular Army for five years (Arabic linguist), I've been out for a year

- one more semester of a bachelors' degree in international relations, plan to attend grad school for linguistics in spring, have a few computer science online certificates

- working for now as a rent-a-cop for $12/hr part-time, I live with my father

- I'd like to do some linguistics-related work, interested in Middle Eastern and Caucasian languages specifically. I may want to get into a consultancy role related to data science

- I'd describe myself as a right-leaning nationalist, and not as much a libertarian anymore. Socially, I am more on the conservative side

Can't wait to see what y'all have to talk about, thanks.

I want to learn linguistics though...

A cunning strategy.

Good luck.

We don’t have our own forms of expression and always borrow from the old, probably.

I invented 'LOL'.

No, really.

” our struggle will be in the future, when social protections fail and demographic changes rear their ugly heads. Then we will help to answer whether a free society can exist in an age of dystopian technology and mass indoctrination”

Very similar to what my twenty and thirty something sons believe.

Yes I have, with limited results (take from that what you will). I got sick of the whole business anyway, and the person I had a date with was a bit revolting to me. It’s worked in what some people I know do though, so I’m not the foremost authority.

“I’ve absolutely resigned to it. Boomers grew up in a period of artificial prosperity made possible by victory in war and by their country becoming the top dog. Globalization makes things different now. I think we could do something about it once the housing bubble bursts again”

Once again I’ve heard the same thing from my sons.

Generation overlap occurs within the first few years of a defined change.

I first saw “Have a nice day” on a plastic covering from the dry cleaners in 1964.

This was also about the time “Blow your whole cool” arrived on the east coast from California.

We scratched our military heads over that one.

Accents and colloquial terms are a completely different animal.

speaking of millenial dating in general, tinder, etc., what do millenials {cisg males, cisg females} think about the allegation that nowadays at least 1 in 13 adult females is a sugar baby “looking” (with the stat probably significantly higher when consideration restricted the 18-22 age group)?

I was speaking of things like: burned up and burned down.

I wouldn’t be surprised at that. I almost assume that almost any girl my age I would be interested in has been with at least three or four other partners, but that may be from a pessimistic nature.

A migratory dingleberry?

Just a guess.
