Buddy, I’ve been working 60+ hours a week and prices keep going up and my pay is not and I actually cannot afford to change jobs, change my living situation, buy a more fuel efficient car, or go to college. There actually is no out. There is no work harder and I’ll make it. I’m literally in the poverty trap. I’m slowly making my way out of it but it’s going to be a long a*s time unless some other opportunity magically appears. College isn’t the price of a McDouble anymore old man.

People need to keep up with how the economy shifts in the US and to some extent in Canada. For example, prices have gone up far faster than minimum wage, wage disparity has gotten more extreme, job security barely exists, etc. All one has to do is check the news, listen to people, etc. It makes no sense to stay frozen in time and offer platitudes.

30 Examples Of What Young People Have Had Enough Of Hearing From Older People, Shared In This Online Community - I don't work hard enough (I've been employed as long as I've legally been able to work, balancing up to 3 jobs at a time...but sure)

- I'm old, i.e., too old to be loved (tons of problems with that, but also, I'm 31?! That's not old)

- I expect too much (yea, decent pay, decent and affordable housing. Totally a spoiled brat).

- I'm immature because I don't want bio children (I'd argue it's a sign of my maturity that I know myself well enough to not have kids)

- My standards in relationships are too high (not to be abused by partners/friends/employers...if that's high bar, I'm speechless).

My bro-in-law coaches kids' soccer. He wouldn't be keen on participation trophies. He blew off an email from a couple who worried about their kid's self-esteem if they didn't play in every game. My BIL explained to the kid why they weren't playing in one of the games and the kid was fine. He's very good with children, but he doesn't treat them like delicate hothouse plants. He definitely has more patience with the kids than their parents!

The only excuse that you have is laziness.

Edit: it's more than just computers. Things like the fact that Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia don't exist anymore, nor do east and west Germany, basic geography beyond the US, Canada and Mexico etc., . Many things they should know by know.

- a commenter made the point, it's the same with racist and sexist language. A lot of them have not been ok for literal decades but people haven't bothered to learn that and/or not use them.

Edit 2: those of you exclusively focusing on computer use it's definitely an important thing I'm not saying you have to necessarily know how to create a spreadsheet I am saying that you need to to use the technology that exists in public that the public runs on without slowing down or negatively impacting anybody else.

I live in a building for people with disabilities (like myself) and mostly elderly people. They never open their windows, or the windows in the common areas, they crank up the central heating in the common areas even though there is a heatwave, or it's the middle of summer; the corridors of stuffy and stink of boiled cabbage and old urine... The washing machines and dryers are always set on the highest heat setting, because everybody does the laundry on a boil wash; and then there is this creepy old man who lurks around the corridors, listening at people's doors and sticking his nose into everybody's business. Unfortunately I need to live in a place like this but I'm about 20 to 30 years younger almost everybody else - the only other younger person in this building is my partner who is 4 years older than me.

Most of these complaints apply to the last few thousand years of humanity. “[Young people] are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled by life, nor have they experienced the force of circumstances. … They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it.” Aristotle 4th Century BC

I know not all people do it, but I'm tired of the "you're just making up excuses!" line... okay, so you get to do whatever you want almost all day, while I have to balance household chores with work, being a second-degree black belt, having MRIs every 3 months(for childhood brain cancer), and taking two medicines for epilepsy(levetiracetam and lamotrigine)?

Lol. I'm 14. I wear a pair of shorts and my whole family is like 'sheesh, all the boys are gonna be looking at you'. Not true. It's shorts. No one gives a s**t

It's like our grandmother doesn't like us doing things our way, seriously. We try to just put the dishes in the dishwasher in the most space-wise way as possible, and she comes over and completely takes almost all of the rack out and puts them back in and says "theres no room in there, hand wash these!". Grandmother, I love you dearly, but please, your not even paying me to do these. Let me do them the way i would like to. -Jim

If at all possible, see if you can live out of the country. Sometimes it's cheaper if you have steady income.

Well, it is true that people are more likely to remember someone who was a total jerk than otherwise.
