#GenZ
This is the worst time to run out money ๐ฐ
(BTW, I don't make money ๐. Still reliant on parents.)
Apparently gen Z โhas trouble working with people they disagree withโ and โthink some people deserve to be cancelledโ
Executives see this as a failing of gen Z. My question is: what if gen Z is right?
Some people *do* deserve to be cancelled. And some of those people they have trouble working with? Is it because of an actual shortcoming in gen Z, or is gen Z just not taking the bullshit anymore and managers canโt handle their authority being questioned?

Reality check: GenZ hardly votes.
This article tries to put a positive spin on it, saying that they vote more than other generations at their age, but the graph shows that voting rate is directly correlated with age, so all theyโve done is increase a small number slightly.

#Meta is about to have its embarrassing "skateboard moment." Will its latest AI #chatbot move backfire and cost it what few #GenZ eyeballs it has left?

Very interesting seeing more and more articles about #tech literacy dropping significantly in #GenZ compared to Millennials.
I've had a lot of conversations about this, and almost everyone links it to smartphones and game consoles, with their minimal barrier to entry for users. Back in my day (which was not long ago) you had to tinker at least a bit to get things to even work, which is gone now, mostly because โจ apps โจ
Need actual research on this, but it will prob be too little too late.
The youngest generation in Gallupโs data were Gen Z Adults, who were born between 1997 and 2004, and were ages 18 to 25 in 2022.
A total of 19.7% of Gen Z adults, almost 1 in 5, identify as LGBT.
Thatโs almost three times the proportion of total US adults who identify as LGBT, which was 7.2%.

Gallup collected data on the prevalence of LGBT identification by generation.
Each subsequent generation has more people who identify as LGBT.

#GenX is not well understood, but the best way I can explain it to #GenZ is that we absolutely understood how bad things were going to get, we really wanted things to be different, but we didn't really believe we had the ability to make significant change. We were latchkey kids, raised by our Boomer parents and our self-expression expressed our hopelessness.
Thus when I graduated high school, one of the biggest hits on the radio was by a band called "The Butthole Surfers".
@DrPsyBuffy Struggling with feeling lonely? Try dealing with being completely ignored all your life. Maybe #GenX and #GenZ can help each other out. We can be the friends you never knew existed.

A kid in his twenties with torn-out jeans and an air of defiance that seems to say: "You've never seen this, old man. Look how rebellious I am."
Me internally: "Kiddo, the feeling you elicit in me is nostalgia, except that back in my days we tore out the jeans and aged the holes ourselves, we didn't buy them this way."

Hey fedizens,
I wanted to share some thoughts with you all. On the Fediverse, we engage in discussions, offer critiques, and sometimes, misunderstand each other. But have you ever stopped to think about the bigger picture?
None of us knows what tomorrow will bring. It's a universal uncertainty we all share.
When we pass away, everything we've done in life becomes insignificant. Perhaps I've said hurtful things about some of you, but in the grand scheme of things, it won't matter when I'm no longer part of this existence.
Life is incredibly short, and maybe we should cherish what we have left.
If I've ever hurt any of you in any way, I ask for your forgiveness before you lay down to sleep tonight.
You might not be there tomorrow to seek forgiveness from.
I pledge to do the same.
The way I interact with all of you often mirrors the circumstances I find myself in. Sometimes, life throws us curveballs, and we might act out of character.
Life can be unpredictable, but I want to express my gratitude for your presence here.

@tagesschau Die geburtenstarken Jahrgรคnge gehen in Rente und treffen auf geburtenschwache Jahrgรคnge. Demografischer Wandel, ist schon seit รผber 10 Jahren bekannt unternommen wurde aber nix. Fรผr mich immer noch nicht begreiflich ist das gerade bei der vorigen Generaion den #Millennials nichts unternommen wurde diese Auszubilden. Stattdessen lies man Generation Praktikum und hohe Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in den 2000er Jahren zu.

I feel like every personal essay ever about the climate crisis inevitably turns to talk about the author's children and how their fears about climate change became real / top priority now that they have kids.
Good for them, I guess? Meanwhile I seem to have grown empathy for GenZ and Alpha without a child forcing me to reckon with the reality of the crisis.
Idk it just annoys me. Not sure I can articulate why in this space.
Wow, ich glaube wirklich, die #GenZ hat gewissen Alltagsfertigkeiten nicht mehr erlernt. Mein neuer Junior, obwohl er schon ein halbes Jahr in der Firma tรคtig war, scheint die Logik von Terminen und Outlook nicht zu begreifen [1].
Ich dachte immer nur, das wรคre ein gehรคssiges Mem.
[1] Oder er ist ein kleines Arschgeigerl und stellt sich doof, um Arbeit zu vermeiden. Das wรคre das andere Z Klischee.
I'm slowly understanding why the #GenZ are such crybabies. This is what the children's program looked like when I was young. I don't know if we #GenX were hardened by that or understood the reality of life before the wimps who've been wrapped in cotton wool their whole lives. When at some point reality hit hard, we were prepared.
In today's "Shaking my head at #GenZ" it's the turn of the #Vinyl #CD

Of note: "As well as looking like vinyls" -- Apparently we have a new name for records - Which to be fair isn't too bad.
Also some of the #comments are nuts.
"The point here is not to berate or celebrate anyone. I'm simply and sincerely interested in learning what's changed [in American #teenagers' behavior and attitudes since the 1990s].
