Why don't they teach critical thinking in grade school?
Even if they did I don't think it would matter, because as soon as they get to college it's indoctrination time!!! (At least for the social "sciences," that is).
Do you have a pointer to the data you're using on what percentage of millennial degrees are in which fields?
No, and I don't need one either. All you have to do is look at the amount of liberal arts colleges today vs. 25 years ago, or the types of majors offered at colleges today vs. 25 years ago and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
"Mental sports?" So based on your argument, any desk job that requires strenuous use of one's brain is a sport as well. You can keep trying but you're not going to convince me.
multiple studies have already shown that Millenials are no different than any other generation in how hard they work or what they want. The only major difference is they came of age in the 2008 market crash and that they're saddled with over $1 trillion in student loan debt.
There's a big difference in what that student loan debt was USED for though. Previous generations were smart enough to realize that if you wanted a good job than you had to get a degree is something with REAL LIFE VALUE.
Student loan debt isn't that big of a deal when you have a Computer Science degree, etc. and actually learned something that gave you value in the job candidate market. However, student loan debt becomes a BIG problem when you have a degree in SJW gender studies and have no value whatsoever to the real world.
Millenials have a huge amount to do with the predicament they're in, but they choose to blame everyone else.
Nah, there was definitely public outcry, the government just didn't care. Equifax must've provided our congress-critters with some REALLY high quality recreational drugs.
Ooh, a scathing report!!! On the punishment severity scale that must be somewhere between a slap on the wrist and taking away some of their Schrute bucks.
100% this. YouTube know-it-alls are the absolute worst. A member of my immediate family is one of these people. He's unemployed and lives in a friend's basement, so he watches a LOT of YouTube and therefore thinks he knows everything about everything...and isn't afraid to bring up his incredible intellect all the f'ing time. It would be funny if he weren't so arrogant about it.
I'm not sure I'd call golf a sport either, but being able to hit a golf ball 300+ yards does require a whole heck of a lot of physical prowess, especially at the Olympic level.
Have you ever shot a rifle/pistol/shotgun at a competition level? It's incredibly difficult, physically demanding (in some aspects) and nothing like playing a video game.
So because YOU don't like it, Netflix and Youtube is for dummies? Not all of us are in school and/or like to read. Some of us have stressful jobs and kids, and very much enjoy those few precious moments when we get to turn off our brains for a bit and relax in front of the TV. But I guess raising children and being successful makes me a dummy, eh?
was found in the people looking to buy this amazing new synergistic disruptive technology to use in their business. (Yeah, I know there's probably some good use for the tech out there somewhere, but I have yet to find one where other tech can't do the same thing just as good, if not better.)

Every day it seems I see more and more real news articles that look like they belong on The Onion.
I didn't buy into anything. I was looking for a silver lining and found none.

Zuckerberg stores the building neatly back in his poop shoot. Nice and tidy.
True. But if the QA was conducted by Facebook employees I'm sure it was poorly done anyways.
Wouldn't it be great if giant sh1t eating pieces of garbage AC's couldn't comment on posts from actual Slashdot users? Yeah, it would.
Big d1cks in Zuckerberg's mouth.

Olympic events require physical activity. Moving your thumbs doesn't count.

What idiot modded the first post redundant? Are they giving mod points to AC's now?
Twitter is one of the worst ways to communicate, period. It should be destroyed in fire.
They're planning on growing the same plant they were smoking when they came up with this idea.
Umm no, Dems voted for that too. The congress critters on both sides of the aisle love this as much as liberals love spending other people's money.

100mbps? Divide that by 12 in my area and those are the speeds, and I don't even live out in the boonies.
