  • It’s not really incorrect, it’s just that it’s only the START of the “Millennial” generation, not the whole thing.

    Most people generally consider 1980 as the start (so most 1980 babies are 19 years old on Jan 1, 2000) of the Millennial generation. I’ve seen it as early as 79, and as late as 83 as the start year. No idea why sources vary on this, or why they pick those years instead of 1980. Anyone born in that range might also be called a Xennial, so it’s sort of like if one thing considers you a Millennial, but you have strong Gen X energy, then you can be a Xennial if you feel like it. But No Xennial would want that because we don’t fuck with Gen X like that.

    I prefer calling the Xennials the “Oregon Trail” generation, as it implies we all risked having dysentery to survive.

    If you want to get weird, there’s an astrologer named Nick Dagan Best that wrote a book about the US and 80-ish year cycles that follow the 7th planet in our solar system.

    It’s called “UranUSA”. I seriously think he might have just come up with the title and worked backwards.



  • These people are all coworkers in career LEO positions.

    You think one group of 20 dudes have Kevlar vests and their sidearms at home and just pitch up at a court house like it’s a shift at a Denny’s? These people have desks and a locker room somewhere where they see each other without masks. They know each other well before the masks go on.
