By definition I am a millennial, but I identify as Generation X.

Bahhhh, be a millennial. I’m a millennial and damn proud of it. Not really sure what to be proud of but anyone who says I’m a stereotype can kiss my ass. It’s all hogwash media tries to group ages in. Our biggest downfall to society from what I understand is taking advice from our elders. I’ll explain, all my life my hero (grandpa) has always said cherish your years with your family. Cherish the memories of your children and spend as much time with them as you can. Now, in doing so we get labeled lazy and not devoted to this all giving spinning wheel of dedication to work from sun up to sundown. I’ve spent many holidays away from my family and regretted every one. Hell I completely missed Christmas this year with 45 hours of call out from Friday to Monday haha. But when we take that time to spend with our families we get this label of lazy worthless millennial. It’s only my experience but screw em. I was born 1986. Call it whatever ya want, but grandpop (1936 July 1st) is the smartest guy I know and I’m gonna take his advice.

I was being a wiseguy, I don't really concern myself with the stereotypes. I am fortunate to be old enough to have grown up in an analog home and young enough to have been introduced to modern technology in college.

Lol yup. From the tv's that went bwong when powered on to having a live video call at any moment is impressive in our life.

Nothing brings a family together better than two adults and four kids squashed together on a couch in front of a 12 inch black and white TV.

I miss seeing those cool rotating bubbles behind me on cop cars. Now they have those wonky LED strobe lights that just look artificial.

Yep, we've gone from bubblegum machines that advertised a police car to these new stealth cars that you can't even read police on except at the perfect angle.
Then I think of the definition of stealth;
noun: stealth cautious and surreptitious action or movement
And we wonder why so many hold the police in a bad light.

Old enough to know better and wish I could still do it

Lou might find this funny ^^ anything you do is suspicious. Link to article and court decision of recent. I'm certain other judges found those things on the checklist to be RAS...otherwise they would not be on the list, right ? Oh the judge highlighted and explained how the cop lied in court--nothing done to him of course.

Lou should check with his local police dept. and ask for their checklists.

Not listening to elders has definitely been the downfall of most 'young' generations...then we get older and realize we should have listened more..... Generation generalization is helpful to understand the way a group of people may tend to think but turning it into a stereotype does go too far...but it makes it lotsa fun to pick on people!!!
