What the FUCK is wrong with all these lazy millenials?
I even see it in my brother: no drive, no work ethic, squanders every opportunity to better himself.
What gives?
>>136255851
> Why are people with different genes than me different than me
And before you say anything work ethic is almost certainly largely genetic
>>136256050
Then how did my brother not get it, and if it IS genetic: where did all the genes that founded this great country go?
>be black
>major in compsci
>avoid getting a criminal record
well played. the world is your oyster

White Afrikaaner, friend.
Boer stock specifically.
>>136256305
> Then how did my brother not get it,
Because much of genetics is random
> where did all the genes that founded this great country go
Kind of a stupid question, the country is still being built, new stuff is added, etc. There are almost certainly more geniuses and hard workers in America now than have ever existed here before, and a lot of them are doing cool and exciting things, etc.
Nobody cares about your made up life story.

"YOU'RE A WHITE MALE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>136257520
Oh, I see.
Why don't you take your new found wealth back to your homeland? Build some farms so the country doesn't starve to death?
>>136257895
Both of my parent's families fled that shithole because the "revolutionaries" there were dumping boiling oil down boer throats at every opportunity they got.
The more I hear about that place recently the less I have any desire to see my parent's homeland. Furthermore: the "gubbamint" there would just take it all anyway.

They are libtards. They've never had to work for anything in their lives. They don't know how.
>>136258863
Sad...
>>136255851
good job op, im in a similar boat as you.
congrats on becoming a functioning member of society...there are people in our generation who will never understand what it takes to achieve.
>>136259509
>there are people in our generation who will never understand what it takes to achieve.
Those people existed in EVERY generation.
I find MY generation born in the mid 60s is actually better than the generation before me.
As long as people stay off the dope and don't become a tranny SJW, most manage all right.

Unless you're going academic it's a waste of your time.

Because your mum fucked the milk man
I'm 2 years older OP. Worked since 14. Have awesome job. Paid for college no debt. Millennials are more entitled than boomers

You were able to turn your environment into a motivator. Massive props for that.

We barely even had a mailman.

It depresses me to be honest. I really don't understand the lack of drive.
