I think every single generation does that when they’re young. They freak out the old folks. Eventually they become the old folks, and then younger generations are freaking them out.
It’s like we forget how the boomers were criticized for their rock-n-roll music (huge amounts of panic). We forget that Gen X’ers were supposed to be a bunch of disaffected slackers. Rinse. Repeat.
It’s a choice to participate in the moral panic du jour, you know. I think Gen Z will end up being just fine, just like everyone else.
I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but one thing that could be helpful is some sort of Where to Start guide for Star Trek books. I’ve been meaning start reading some but with the amount of Treklit that’s out there it could be nice to have some sort of page with some good places to start/suggestions.
Instead of paying for a bunch of channels we don’t need we’re paying for a bunch of shows we’ll never watch.
TV shows should be released via RSS and a subscription is per-show for like $2 month. Then everyone can just have a single app with just the shows they want.
1 in 5 employers have had a recent college graduate bring a parent to a job interview
Who the hell does that? Even by highschool kids should be sorting out their life affairs independent of their parents.
Though the reason behind recent graduates getting looked over is simple. There are a lot of people on the job market with experience, especially in industries like tech with the tech bubble bursting (probably the worst time to graduate in tech is now), so recent graduates have to compete with experienced workers. And the experienced worker will win almost every time. Similar happened after 2008 to recent millenial graduates, it’s when the whole “millenials are lazy/immature” thing kicked off. It’s seems to be a cycle. In a decades time/when the next major global economic event takes place, experienced Gen Z workers will be getting all the job offers, and the next generation to graduate will get the short end of the stick.
I’ve never been in a position to make hiring decisions, and probably never will. If I ever am, though, an interviewee being interviewed with a parent would be a HUGE red flag (unless there was an obvious medical reason).
If the parent was just there for moral support and stayed in the lobby, fine. Unusual, but fine.
The “1 in 5” probably makes it sound way more prevalent than it actually is.
Say you have 5 companies that interviewed 200 people each in the recent past
1 candidate had a parent come to their interview (which could mean “driving them to the interview and waiting in the lobby,” which is still weird but nowhere near the connotation of “sat in and listened to interview questions”)
1 in 5 companies will report they’ve had a parent come to an interview, even though 0.1% of candidates brought a parent
if its a chore you shouldnt be doing it. it should be fun!
for me its a bursting outlet for my nonsense.. not reeallly considering the audience when im creating stuff. i just need to get it out of my brain before it burns a hole.
ive also been surprised by some of the easiest stuff garnering the most attention.
alllllsoo.. ive noticed in the verse this kinda of delayed reaction. ive gotten posts that suddenly gain attention months later as the fediverse does its thing, and the content gets refreshed out there..somewhere.
