Infuriating-Millennial-Stereotypes
"Oh you millennial kids just want trophies for everything" Bruh i was 6, you were the parents who organized the league, made it so no one kept score, and ordered, bought, and handed out the trophies. We had literally no part in you living out the fantasy that your kid was good at something. You lived vicariously through us then blamed us for the results of your shifty desicions.Infuriating-Millennial-Stereotypes

"Millennials don't know how to..." Please, I rewired a rotary phone and washed cat pee out of my grandmother's 28.8kbps modem. Older millennials had analog childhoods and digital adolescence. We can do nearly anything and expect the world to radically change every ten years max. Sorry we killed the diamond ring/luxury hat/blacksmithing/plastic straw industry, maybe you should have paid us reasonable wages and not crashed the housing market right as we graduated college.Infuriating-Millennial-Stereotypes
"yOu CaN't UsE a RoTaRy PhOnE!?!?" And you can't use a telegraph. Technology changes ya quack.

I kinda laugh when boomers call us snowflakes when they seem like the bigger bunch of wimps in history. Anytime they get a taste of their own medicine they act like it’s a assault on their freedom.

“You must go to college and get a degree. You don’t want to be flipping burgers or changing the oil in some rich guy’s car.” does that, incurs a lot of debt “These irresponsible millennials and their elitist liberal educations! If they’d been smart, they’d go to community college and transfer/go to trade school. They won’t just take a job, any job to pay the bills. They could flip burgers. Why should we pay for their mistakes?”

“Millenials” has just become a term for “young person with ideals I don’t agree with.”

Make your own stock. Save the parts of veggies you didn't use like ends of onions, inners of peppers, and chicken bones in a ziplock in the freezer. Just make sure you don't put anything bitter like cabbage or brocolli in. Also never put lemon rind in, it will make it super bitter and inedible. Sweet things like carrots or squash are a must, even pieces of apples are delicious. And I always make sure to put in some celery. Put it all straight from freezer bag to pot, cover with water, throw in a few bay leaves and salt and pepper and simmer for like two hours. I always try to have chicken stock on hand... so much better than store bought broth, and you control the sodium. Your soups will never be the same. Also delicious to use to cook riceUseful-Cooking-Tips
Please don’t buy pre-marinated meats in butchers and grocery stores, they’re usually older cuts of meat being ‘rescued’ with a marinade to cover the unfreshness and smell.

Wearing gloves in kitchens is a goddamn lie. They don't offer any sort of protection, they're actually more prone to spreading germs and filth because people don't wash them between touching different kinds of food. They exist to give the illusion of safety and professionalism. As someone who's worked in kitchens, I'd much rather see a cook wash their hands than throw a latex glove on.People-Share-Industry-Secrets
I am a Romanian who has worked for a US military contractor. The DOD doesn’t care about the price of the things the military is buying. I once sold a bag of 240 hex nuts for 9000 dollars ( it’s not a typo) which i got for 25 dollars. The spending the DOD does is really as bad as you might have heard of. The more they spend the better. It is actually scary how much money they throw away.People-Share-Industry-Secrets
When businesses like taco bell, petsmart or others ask you to round up to donate to a cause it is 100% for the tax write off they receive. They are allowed to donate money and pay less taxes. Instead of paying from their overall sales and profits they con customers to pay extra to do it for them. This leaves their overall sales intact while increasing their yearly profit by paying less in taxes. If you want to donate just do it yourself and give more then a buck.

Corporate safety culture is not about protecting you from injury, it's about protecting the company from a lawsuit after you get injured.

Nothing about The Voice, American Idol, etc is real. Your votes don’t matter. Everything is pre-determined. In some cases they even choose your audition song for you, and if they want to tear you down for entertainment, they’ll choose something they know you can’t sing. And with the contacts artists sign, you cannot refuse. Source: professional musician, I have not been on those shows but have friends who have. I cannot name names, them even telling me that stuff was against contract legalities.
