The Psychology Behind Millennial Bashing - coined in 2011, 'juvenoia' pertains to a perceived corruption of the youth.

"Parents are more invested in their children's identities then their children are; this is because children are trying establish their identities, whereas parents are trying to build a legacy."

Please accept this gift from me to you as i say farewell.

https://www.silenttheory.net Visions of the Sublime (a free book for you).
I have written the book in thanks for your support. Please feel free to take, and give to your friends.

The first people valued feathers from birds and assigned them symbolic and ceremonial importance. Bush folk also valued them, wearing a “gift” in leather hats to bush dances and then to battle fronts, when war called.

It was a different time. Practical clothes were made at home. Three changes of clothing was thought profligate.

Pride of place in a home was in the cool drawing room containing a piano. Around the room sat small reminders of the land: carved emu eggs; a book of bush poems; vases of dried native flowers and a display of feathers (sometimes still attached to formal hats, of both men and women). These were placed well out of reach of inquisitive children and only worn on formal occasions: a trip to the races; a bush dance; a baptism; a wedding or a funeral.

And, for fun, the people of that far away time wore them when they traveled to waterfalls.

Not every feather is a gift. Instead a gift is a happenstance. It is a feather left on a path by a bird: an emu; a bush turkey; a rosella; a cockatoo; or, most rare of all, a lyrebird. A feather taken from a dead bird can never be a gift.

In my culture, the culture of the Australia bush, a gift gains value and import according to how many times it is given. From friend to friend. From parent to child. The story of a gift and its re-giving is often told. A gift can not be bought nor sold. How we forget that the world was not once just about money and commerce.

When you regive this gift to your friends remember the gifts you gave and received on G+. Thank you.

G+ is going away, but the sun will keep rising and we'll find other ways to communicate. However, for me Google will be removed from all my online activity.

Right right, this article is on FOX, but go see what Glenn has to say about "Russia-Russia-Russia!" on the intercept.

He can educate you a bit on legit things to hate about the Orange Idiot. Glenn is as far left as it's possible to be and remain credible.

(Generally I really like Glenn, and the Intercept they're anti-war, anti establishment, anti Trump, but anti bullshit.)

But "Russia-Russia-Russia!" is just Pizzagate for snowflakes, it's bullshit, didn't happen, get over it my friends.

Pizzagate didn't happen either, get over that my other friends.

Y'all should learn to be friends with each other, and you'd realize that neither of Y'all are drooling retards or vicious monsters.

An anonymous professor at an R1 institution in the US describes the influx of unskilled and entitled students.

Well, yes. It was ever thus. Has it become worse in recent times? And whose fault is that?

If you think corruption in elite US college admissions is bad, what happens once those students are in the classroom is even worse. I know, because I teach at an elite American university – one of the oldest and best-known, which rejects about 90% of applicants each year for the small number of places it can offer to undergraduates.

Mate, you are teaching at an institution that artificially keeps the number of places small in order to keep the prices up. That doesn't mean that I endorse cheaters and bribers, but that is still a fact to consider.

While such students have long been present in the form of legacy admits, top sports recruits and the kids of multimillion-dollar donors, the latest scandal represents a new tier of Americans elbowing their way into elite universities: unqualified students from families too poor to fund new buildings, but rich enough to pay six-figure bribes to coaches and admissions advisers.

I, too, long for the good old days when only rich people bribed my university. Now the plebs have arrived, with their new money. How crass! And I don't even get a new building out of it.

The rest of the article is spot on though.

President Donald #Trump will throw himself fully into his battle to overhaul U.S. #tradedeals this week. Trump will try to rework U.S. trade relationships on more than one front in the coming weeks and months. He not only aims to strike a new deal with China, but also wants Congress to ratify a revised North American #tradedeal. Trump has railed against #China, #Mexico and #Canada's trade practices for years and sees the criticism as a central part of his political appeal. The U.S. and China still have a long way to go toward agreeing to a deal - and Beijing appears unlikely to meet some of the #Trumpadministration's demands.

The high-stakes trade decisions in Washington do not end there. Trump has also accused #Europe of unfair trade practices, and sees tariffs on #Europeancars as one means to address them. The move would come with its own political risks. Trump's tariff policy has sparked more backlash from #Republicans on Capitol Hill than just about anything the president has done since he took office. #GOP lawmakers have in particular questioned the national security justification the Trump administration used to put duties on steel and aluminum imports last year.

While U.S. President Donald #Trump is pushing for a #tradedeal to slash his country’s yawning deficit with #China, it was his French counterpart #EmmanuelMacron who landed a €30bn #aviation contract with Beijing on Monday (Mar 25). China concluded a deal to buy 300 #aircraft from #Airbus during President #XiJinping’s state visit to #France. The value of the deal was twice what was touted last year, and only compounds the woes of U.S. manufacturer #Boeing, whose #737MAX planes have been grounded across the world this month, after two fatal crashes.

The deal-making also stretched well beyond planes. The countries agreed to allow French exports of chicken to China, according to Le Figaro. French energy company EDF and the China Energy Investment Corporation also signed a €1bn accord to develop an offshore wind farm off China. BNP Paribas, Eurazéo and the China Investment Corporation signed a MoU to set up a Franco-Chinese co-operation fund, targeting €1bn. Schneider Electric and China's Power Construction Corporation reached a strategic agreement that could also reach €6bn concerning the modernization of factories.

U.S. President Donald #Trump’s blunt-force use of tariffs in pursuing his 'America First' trade agenda has angered many, from company executives to allied governments and members of both parties of Congress. But there’s one effort which has drawn broad support from those who oppose him on almost everything else - his push to force Beijing to change what are widely viewed as #China’s market-distorting trade and subsidy practices.

#EuropeanUnion members, traditional allies of the #UnitedStates, are still smarting about the steel and aluminum tariffs Trump imposed on imports into the United States last year. The #EU is also worried that Trump will impose duties on autos. But the bloc shares many of the same frustrations over China’s technology transfer policies and market access constraints.
