#1 Snowflakes in Wikipedia are trying to remove the entry for The Peoples Cube. If any of you are Wiki-registered editors - help them out.

#2 Fuck em,

I gotta tell you the entire generation will spend their lives in their parents basement. Can you imagine one of these infantile little asses trying to work in manufacturing or construction?

A normal conversation on a construction site would probably send one of these little darlings home in tears.

#3 It's the 'People's Cube' at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People's_Cube

While you're there, check out the talk page, it's amusing!

#4 In the old days (back when merit counted), colleges were suppose to 'weed out' those lacking in the ability to deal with reality. Then again, the curriculum was a lot smaller and fed dollars were a lot shorter (see-GI Bill) before the Academic-Technology Complex leeched on to the public treasury.

#5 Peoples' Cube is fantastic.

Probably in-part for the anti-paleo agit-prop on that dung-hill campus. Probably in-part their outrageous parodies become pre-cursers of leftist thought....life imitating The Cube. So much so they get the debunking treatment.

Part of the You Shut Up campaign getting started.

#6 Can you imagine one of these infantile little asses trying to work in manufacturing or construction?

Lucky for them all the manufacturing jobs have moved offshore and the construction jobs are all taken by illegal aliens.

#7 Pampering these whiny kids is not going to serve our country well.

#8 OK guys what age do you have to be to earn the default approbation of "an entire generation in their parents basement"?

I've got two sons who will turn 31 & 35 next month. One is a self employed gig type worker doing lighting design and operation at clubs in Boston. Married and been self supporting for years. Wish his work was steadier but the entertainment industry ain't known for that. and he works long hours and late nights.

The other one started his own net working company based on his idea of "Social Made Simple".which is the name of his company. He's making it slowly, just starting to get a salary after 3 years but he's still going strong 2 years after that so he surely doesn't fit the snowflake model.

Yes that is some humble brag but the knock on all millennials drives me nuts since they're not all like that.

Oh yeah the Boston area has a lot of them.that fit that model, like some of my daughter-in-laws brothers but my kids haven't lived in the basement in many years (thank God).

#9 The millennials in question are the ones in the mid-to-early twenties or younger. Came of age during Obama basically.
