I'm a boomer, and I just want to state I don't feel 'millennials are feckless and lazy'! I get so tired of every generation looking for fault in the new generation. As a kid--my father never stopped complaining about the Hippies, even though deep down inside he had the same values, but did what society dictated. I always knew he wanted more out of life than going to a job he really didn't like, and putting up with a partner who just complained. He died from liver cancer at 64. Yes, due to drinking. He was a good man and tried to rebel againts the system in little ways, but I always knew the life he kinda picked, or fell into is not the life ge really wanted. I rember as a child he once told me, he would probally like the effect of heroin if it wasn't so dangerous. He repeated that stement many times over the course of his life. Years later, I still wonder how such a convective man could even go to those dark areas? I am sharring too much? I just want to go on the record as I'm sick of the sterotypes(hippies, generation z,y,x etc., hipsters, all of them). While, I on the box. I wish society would stop judging me by what I do. I have never liked the obligatory "What do you do?". Maybe, it's just an American thing? When I used to go to clubs if the "wdyd" came out if a person's mouth; I just politely answered, and walked away. Sorry, about rambling. I'm just venting.


wdyd is just a protocol handshake. If you exclude everyone who honors a common protocol, you will be left with a needlessly small sample set. Instead, a double entendre response to a protocol handshake can be a good Turing test.

Well then, inform the ones you know of the how and why they are being manipulated into doing that. Mr Druckenmiller would hate it if everybody turned on him instead of each other.
