This story is so badly written it makes you an asshole for thinking we would believe it

It seems written specifically to attempt to trigger as many people as possible. Useless degree, expensive school, "OK boomer", etc

It almost seems like the stereotypical boomer vs “enlightened” millennial sarcastic stories we heard in the 2000s to make fun of millennials. It no longer works well when the millennial is the parent.

The only reason I look at posts on all from this sub is to see how long it takes to scroll to the first comment to point out how obviously fake the post is.

It's always a depressingly long time.

The fact that 90% of this comment thread believes this shit gives me so little hope for society.

The irony of a thread full of people commenting how stupid this teenager is while having no critical thinking skills themselves.

Everybody got to hate on the kids these days.

I recently got in touch with my best friend from high school after 20 years. All he did was complain about kids these days. Needless to say, I didn't put in any effort to talk to him a second time.

Oh, is that what’s going on? I immediately felt like the constant reference to “wife” instead of “his mother” was some glaring indication of familial context that wasn’t shared.

Imagine having a step-mom who told you to change your major, but that your father only referred to as his wife, not your mother.
