I don't think the guy who has enough time to frequently come onto this site to brag about how he is always right and whine about mods has any right to say this shit. 

 

Sure I do, and I'm 1000% right.

For reference, how old are some of you? 

 

Guess I thought I would contribute and add to the list of 20 somethings here. Just turned 24. Also still have a VCR in my apartment that I brought from my parents house. Have barely ever posted in here mainly just lurking since around TFA I believe is when I really started looking at the numbers. Also, just saw Thor and was whelmed I guess.

Lol, take a few hours off here and you miss a lot.  After seeing the ages of nearly everyone here, it is no wonder that this board and most of your opinions are the way they are.  

 

The vast majority of you have never been through a truly hard work day in your lives.  Most have grown up in a fantasy land of good economics, low interest rates, plentiful jobs and cushy working conditions. Mommy and daddy have taken care of most everything and student loans took care of the rest.  Maybe you had to man a register at the local Target at some point.  

 

All of you are in the "great resignation" generation, the generation that cries about being overworked and underpaid and very likely have never spent a day on a hot roof putting down shingles or detassiling corn in 100 degree heat or spent a summer pouring concrete to the point you pass out.  Shit that paid you $5.15 to start and maybe $8 per hour if you were lucky.  

 

VFX artists are paid market rate and their working conditions are more than adequate.  They work on tight timelines, but they also work in air conditioned offices and have benefits and perks as well.  

 

So many of you are in for a rude awakening when the next economic downturn truly hits, and that might be about 2-3 months away from happening.  So many that have written shitty think piece posts and made silly demands from their work while being artificially lifted up by stimulus money are going to be begging to take a job when reality kicks them in the teeth.  

 

Get ready, it's coming.  The people who will survive it will be the people willing to work.  

Wooooo lawdy. I agree, but let the young people enjoy their youth.

I remember when I was young, idealistic, and ready to solve all of society’s social ills. 
 

Then 9/11 happened.

Hey, I agree and will, but they sometimes need a reality check.  All these posters in their 20's, even the absolute oldest ones, were 15 years old when the 2008 shitstorm happened.  Many of them were barely 10 years old.  

 

None of them have experienced an economy where it is hard to get a job.  None of them have experienced an economy where it is hard to get a loan or operate without the government sending you a check when times are tough.  Nearly all of them work jobs that don't require any actual hard labor.  

 

I hope they enjoy the good times, because the bad times aren't fun and the good times never ever last.

Haha, yep.  Like the old saying, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Absolutely ideal situation is for Thor to beat JWD but lose adjusted 😏

What do you mean by adjusted?  Win in studio estimate and lose in actual's?   

[Spidey Freak]

Ya'll out here ranting about Gen Z "having a cushy life" when they are the first generation to have had active school shooter drills in classes and traumatized to the point of breakdown as kids with the possibility of getting shot in the middle of a Pop Quiz 🙄 And let's not even get into the additional trauma of being an LGBT or trans kid or a POC kid in MAGAland. But I guess they need to be tougher because they haven't put shingles on roofs

 

GTFO with that bs. If you haven't helped make life easier for the next generation, then you are part of the problem.
