Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

Batsify

@thordis It's a misconception. To make people believe that they are all born with common traits, a bit like a way of putting them in little boxes, is an illusion.

I could understand it for major changes (the war in particular and what shortly followed). But today... Do we have to have a name worthy of the Apple brand on our backs?

@thordis Don't know, don't care.

First I have to survive. I have lost my job *again*, at the worst possible time *again*. I have no savings, because I used them all up last time I was laid off, and didn't get the chance to build them back up. I don't even know how I'm going to feed my kids tonight. And the job market is *destroyed* for people in my field. (Non-LLM machine learning) Add the tariffs and the oncoming economic downturn they're projecting, and we are screwed.

@hosford42 @FuturisticRobert @szczurtorebkowy @thordis there's always money in the banana stand chk-CHK

Edit - I should explain. I wasn't trying to be trite about your situation at all even though it looks like I clearly am in retrospect. That was more pointing out how generational wealth breeds the inability to notice others struggles. If you always have a banana stand in your family, you don't have to worry about the day-to-day of people without a banana stand

@thordis not all millennials but definitely all old >_>

@thordis This here is a 1976 model, GenX, living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Or something like that

@thordis Voted Other since I squarely fit into the dead middle of Xennial.

not obscene, just deeply concerning

@futurebird @thordis i think we're born in the same year or at least within 1 year of each other, which means most people i've seen born 2-3 years before us who talk about the x/y boundary tend to identify either as millennials or xennials...

Oh god I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s any corporate IT job out there that’s safe from LLM AI and it’s snake oil peddlers.

Do you have a paypal or anything like that? Also check around your area for mutual aid. I’m rooting for you.

@thordis A couple weeks younger than Trump. Like him, born a short while more than average human gestation length after VJ-Day.

@thordis I personaly find this names confusing. Why not jusy use year ranges and make it clear and precise?

@thordis i'm between millenial and gen Z
Always depends on which reference you look
Born in the 90s, grown up in the 2000s
I'd throw myself in with the millenials, but ever since generation talk and "where is the cap" got big, its weird for me, bcs i'm so weirdly in between and its basicly opinion based

@thordis
According to this chart? No, i'm not a millenial.

@thordis

Whatever that weird gap is between the tail-end of the Boomers and the beginning of Gen X.

@thordis lol this is actually hilarious. You also forgot zillenial in your poll.

Heather

@thordis I'm on the border between gen x and millennial

@Bumblefish @thordis no idea what a forkiverse is but a lot of the people I interact with (as well as myself) are gen z lol
