School night?

The high end of millennials have grey hair and mortgages now.

I think that's part of the point? The twitchy zoomers aren't on?

School nights are when all the kids that fuck my very old mother have to log off early, so I get to engage in venerable spray 'n' pray duels with formidable peers. For a couple hours, I am esteemed 'average'.

A lot of people euphemistically use "school night" to mean work night.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

School night for your 6-12yo.

Or, in the case of one of my former classmates, her 26 year old.

Millennials aren't having kids, silly. We can't afford rent, let alone a child.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's Gen Z.

Us early millenials can "afford" it while taking on massive amounts of debt.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Gen Z is still too young to be having children.

Exactly. They haven't even reached their 30s yet. These days your 20s is too young to have kids.

God, I wish I had a mortgage.

[–] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I don't have mortgage because I cannot afford it but I can afford grey hair.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I’m a low end millennial and I’ve got both

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Mostly paid off mortgages, in some cases

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Not if you’re in the US with a 30 year fixed.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

How old do you think millennials are? 80?

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Haha most of us millennials in my circle are still struggling to own property.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah. That's why we can rank on school nights.

Most the players better than us have to go to school in the morning.

We trade sleep for funtime.
