Rent Is $2,000, The Planet Is Dying, But At Least We Have These 50 Hilarious Posts To Cope
If we consider 1996 as the cutoff for the Millennial generation, that means the youngest Millennials are now 29 years old. Most others have already crossed into or well beyond their 30s.
Your 30s are often a decade you dread in your 20s, worrying about getting older and losing your youthful spark. But once you cross that threshold, you quickly realize it’s not as scary as you thought. In fact, it’s often better—you might have more money, better friends, a nicer job, and probably an upgraded fashion sense. Honestly, it’s great!
We hope Millennials today are thriving and enjoying life, even amidst the absurd challenges of the world. To celebrate them, we’ve gathered some hilarious and oh-so-relatable memes from the Instagram page “I Am Thirty AF.” Scroll down to check them out and enjoy a good laugh!

watching the opening montage of childhood photos in the movie Alpha Dog for a repeat time, especially after the death of Anton Yelchin is a terribly brutal, sob-inducing experience. It used to get to me just knowing that it's a true story. And when Hermione erases all of her childhood photos and memory in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Then I wonder if the parents cried too when they watched it.

this is why 1990s cartoon Batman is the only one i'll really accept as Batman. sure, he fights crime and kicks a*s, but he's also kindhearted and genuinely wants to help the criminals he fights. for example, when he fights baby doll, an exploited actress with a growth condition that makes her look like a child despite her actually being an adult (mid-20s, I think?), he doesn't really fight her. he lets her take her anger out on a mirror and comforts her, calmly taking her to jail(? been a while since I watched) instead of using bat-jitsu or whatever. this is the batman we should be idolizing and seeing on the big screen, not a violent, "damaged" a**hole. someone who cares, despite all the horrors he's seen. someone who knows when to pull his punches and be kind yet firm to those who have committed crimes.

It's funny how people identify with generations. The entire idea of naming generations came from coalescing a common identity after the Great War (WWI) to create a sense of comaraderie to create unity for soldiers.

Went wild camping with two friends, all of us 17, we hiked 10 miles to the site,, the weather turned, we got slammed by a horrendous storm, we had a pair of tiny tents, one got filled with kit, the other got three blokes crammed into it to stay warm, cooking was a challenge the whole weekend, we had decent kit, experience and that youthful stupidity that says ‘hey, this is going to be ok’. It was an experience that still gets mentioned, it was enjoyment through proving we could do it and something we repeated a number of times after that, sleeping in caves, climbing to peaks and sleeping on portaledges, canoe camping, you name it. If you’ve got the right approach and experience it’s not survival, it’s living.

When I first met my now husband he suggested we go camping with his friends. I said no. I went camping as a child. Loved it but saw how much work it was. So, we got a room. His friends spent a lot of time in our room. No one went camping after that. We all got rooms. I started something good!

I love camping-I just came back from a weekend camping with my brother today. If you go with the right people it's great (two weeks ago I went for a week with my extended family and half the time I tried to avoid the drama, the other half they were dragging me into it). My brother and I spent Saturday listening to a music countdown on the radio and playing board games, then yesterday we also played bord games. It's our 9th year doing it!

We try to make sure we are out camping several weeks a year (small RV). The views are amazing. You could spend $500 a night for a room that has views like many of the ones we have had from our campsites that we get for about $35 on average. Plus you don't have to pay to eat expensive and often lousy food at restaurants 3 meals a day. I absolutely love camping.

The company I work for has fairly flexible working hours. Every one is contracted to work 40 hours and our operating hours are 0800-1830 Mon-Sat. You can work whatever 40 hours you want during those times with the only expectation being that you work at least one Saturday per month. There is also no overtime and every employee is paid a salary, no hourly rates.

That's surprisingly more common than you might think. Especially during Covid era regulations. For about 2 years, we had a steady stream of medical professionals stop by to get supper or lunch or snacks, or even just Icee. When we pointed out there were cheaper options across the road, the told they felt much safer picking stuff from theater because we were far cleaner and were far more proactive in keeping things clean. The peace of mind was worth it for them. They didn't have to worry excessively about contamination. Then there was a paramedic who frequently responded to calls at restaurants, and he saw things, and since he was caring for his elderly, immunocompromised mother at the time, he felt safer at the theater picking up food. Not safe enough to watch a movie, because his mother was his primary focus. However, I must admit, if our premises were deemed safer by medical staff, than those other places... that's just sad and scary.
