Karmada's Stuff
I am underslept and stressed and worried and hate the world. Time for a long winded rant about things.
First off, I want to say that I cannot stand those lists of degrees deemed “worthless” by the media. I really, really cannot. Because often times they are deemed worthless simply because they do…

TIME’s new cover makes me so mad I could write essays about it, but instead I’m going to keep job hunting since in today’s world a university degree means nothing and therefore like much of my generation, I’m stuck choosing between minimum wage jobs and internships that I can’t afford to accept in an attempt to pay off my tens of thousands of dollars worth of student debt.
I’d be interested in reading this article to see exactly what makes us entitled and lazy. Are we lazy because more of us are completing high school and going to college than ever before? Are we entitled because our standard of living is declining? Do we live with our parents because we’re too slothful to leave or is because our education costs are getting steeper and steeper while we’re getting less and less aid?
Tell us, Time Magazine, about how we’re narcissistic little slugs when we’re faced with an economic crisis that resulted in a lowering of our standard of living, an increase in tuition costs and how when we get out of our very expensive schools, more and more of us are going to end up working minimum wage jobs.
I also want to note that it’s really frustrating that the face of “lazy, entitled narcissism” is a young woman.
Guys, I hate when this happens. Did any of you read the second heading? Or bothered to look for the actual article? (I don’t mean to bash anyone, but please do a bit of research before opening your mouth).
Here is an actual quote from the article:
examines the overwhelming negative data about Millennials and argues that rather than being inherently self-centered or overconfident, millennials are just adapting quickly to a world undergoing rapid technological change. They’re optimistic, they’re confident and they’re pragmatic at a time when it can be difficult just to get by. Those aren’t bad qualities to have, even if it means they spend too much time on their phones.
Apparently it deals with a shit ton of psicological evidence (the statistics are against the Millenials and there isn’t a thing we can do about that) about how our generation is crappy and then says why it isn’t.
I will have to read this article when I get the chance. I’m currently reblogging for the comments.
And I agree with the poster referenced above me, that it seems like the article is set up to tell us why Millennials aren’t as bad as everyone says.
What bothers me about the concept of the entire article is how they grab you with the “ME ME ME, Millennials are lazy entitled narcissists” because that’s all people will see, and that will reinforce the other generations misguided beliefs about Millennials (of which I think I’m on the very edge of, I’m 31 now).
They won’t see the under line that says “and why they’ll save us all”. They won’t read it, because they’ll think “Oh hey, that’s JUST what I was complaining about the other day! YEAH.”
I would go on about my thoughts on this, but that’d be an awful long post. :P
I never post on Tumblr, so I’m hoping my few followers can help me get this word out by reblogging…
I work for a hotel that hosts a major US con every year. I love anime and I go to cons myself, but I am going to be blunt about some of the problems we have and how we deal with them. I don’t…
If you go to cons and stay in hotels, read this and take it to heart! This list of things this person has seen congoers do in hotels is just appalling, and it’s not even a comprehensive list.
….what. Just WHAT? People! Have you never been taught courtesy? Alas and alack! Please! Take this information to heart, and BEHAVE yourselves at a convention!
#yes, this is an invite to get off my lawn :P
Depression Part 2 by Hyperbole and a Half is the most important thing you’ll read all day.
I’m not exaggerating when I consider this lady the voice of… well, perhaps not a generation but a mindset. There’s really no way to describe how genuine her writing is, how much it speaks to the experience of so many people while steering away from cliche and pretension. I’ve read so many people say OH, EXACTLY to what she writes, much more than any other author—internet or otherwise—active today. I guess it’s the combination of her unalloyed tone, unique treatment of content and the advantages of the medium, such as the rapid dissemination of the comic/blog format that combine to make her writing and art so resonant and accessible to those who identify most with it.

Yes. Yes to all the things!
And also, that face. That face is what I have felt many a time when being told similar.

A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People. It pissed me off beyond belief, that there was an inference that if you weren’t Happy, you simply weren’t doing the right things.
I’ve had depression for as long as I can…
This is amazing and should be read by many people.
Is Scott here?
Why is this not used for reactions more often around here? XD
I have been waiting for this GIFSET forever. We both laughed so hard at this, we had to rewind it and watch it a few more times.

#9 happens to me way more often than I’d like to say!
#1 is definitely the WORST you can say. I can’t tell you how many offers I’ve gotten like that.
and I’d also like to add:
#11.) Wow! Your artwork looks almost like a professional!
