Is obesity a side effect of chopping your genitals off?

Maybe some. We'd hear all about it if it was more prevalent.

the average person in the 24-30 demo at a brewery or nice bar isn't fat.

but then again, most people in that age group who frequent those kinds of places are white collar

most craft beer bros are fat

I've been to enough breweries and stood in enough lines to know this isn't debatable

i'm talking about normal millennials who frequent breweries and nicer bars. they aren't muling beer over state lines and standing in line for hours for a beer release.

Well we do. It's fairly well known that many millennial hole up in their patents home. I just see this as a parenting failure. My generation did a poor job dealing with transitions between the old ways of socialization and independence to the cyber world when it came to parenting

Moving back for a time isn't the same as holing up to the point where the parents need to hire a social worker

Are you serious with this shite, dude?

You think there's a good amount of millennials in the US who live at home AND don't have any type of job or place in society?

Mass shootings is dumb but if you think sitting on your arse playing video games for hours on end is good for you and doesn't lead to weight gain when done routinely, you're mistaken.

I’d bet this is a common sentiment from a generation whose parents said the same thing about them for watching MTV and music videos, who then grew up to watch sports.

Serious question:


Hasnt every generation been the "fattest generation?" Has there been a generation that wasnt the biggest?

I'm a millennial, there are a few groups of people still living at home:

a.) Those with a career who are saving up and paying down student loan debt or getting ready to buy a house(for a couple of years)

b.) Blue collar baws who live at home and spend all their money on boats and trucks. These people are living with mom and dad indefinitely, and are a surprisingly large group.

c.) Bums who can't hold down jobs or who are working shitty jobs and using their money to pay probation fees and for entry into Buku and other such music festivals

And none of those are the same as what the Japanese people are described as being. Even if you can't hold down a job, you're at least trying to be a part of society. Or half assed trying.

The Japanese people aren't even trying. To the point where the parents need a social worker to help them get out of the house and into society.

Don’t bring the gen xers into this. This is boomers vs millennials.

Generation X is gonna save the country from the damage done by Baby Boomers, just to have Millennials destroy it.

Not Boomer, not X, not Millennial has ever once stopped spending what they don’t have or demanded government not spend what they don’t have by their votes or what causes them to vote in the first place.


ALL are the exact same, looking for shortcuts, enjoying the ride, and kicking the can to others. I see no difference whatsoever.

And shortcutting to death is the reasoning behind the food condition itself.
