2 rules of life:

1) people suck

2) people are stupid


Individuals can be exceptions but as a whole this is a good rule of thumb

Anyone who has worked a retail or restaurant job can confirm this.

You guys should immerse yourself into Instagram, Snapchat, and social media culture. You'll want to off yourself within 2 minutes. Kids these days...

True. But a number of the more sane parents I know think it's ridiculous. Bear in mind, single folks are ridiculous with their 'happy and exciting life' posts as well. Contributes to my theory that humans suck.

Your point being: Facebook and other self-serving social media (mostly) sucks.

so so so true. I said the same in another thread a little while ago related to the current recruiting environment and the need to "baby kids".

Today's kids are so full of themselves its unbelievable. Not figuratively unbelievable. Its actually not believable.

Social media to the, is one big, "look at me and tell me how wonderful I am". And they all partake in it and if you look at the comments, that's all they do is tell each other how wonderful/ hott/ funny etc.

Its sad.

It's like that at my school (teacher). Kids in that class (and any AP class) are currently miserable. Test is soon I believe.

AP US test was last week. There are lots of AP History courses (world history, euro history, etc), so schools use APUSH to specify.

Some of my best social media posts poked fun of my kids that way. This includes my daughter's misspelling of "horses" with "hores" in a math problem (if 3 hores run away, how many hores remain). My post was something about being embarrassed that my 6 year old spelled "whore" wrong. Unfortunately, I had a few people ask why I was so hard on my kids, so I toned it down.

Really? Screw them and their snowflake generation. That was pretty lighthearted.
