Yeah, you bring up an interesting point on not knowing who the author is. While I do find her article very passionate and heartfelt and agree with it, there are always two sides to every story. They might say she was an entitled millenial brat who didn’t fit in with the newsroom, and she might say that their old and…

It sucks. At times I look forward to the days when the baby boomers will be retired and the youngs will inherit the workplace earth, but also fear that we’ll become those same cranky oldsters as we progress too.

I think this piece is a bit more insightful than say Seattle boy talking about Amazon destroying his city (“truly there was no better place to live as a kid,” says the 27-year-old who never actually lived anywhere else as a kid lol.) But this is a bit more enlightening on how many businesses seek out young talent who…

I’ve been in a similar position, where I’ve been hired as sort of the “young, fresh” person to help inject an older conservative company with those “crazy new millenial ideals and social media whatnot everyone’s been talkin bout.” But each suggestion or comment was met with initial disregard, because I didn’t…

Disagree. The initial mistake happened when he was younger, but when he continued to ride it for years to help make him seem interesting and boost his profile, that’s when he crossed the line.

I was in a youth group in high school that was very traditional and brotherhood oriented, so we heard a lot of stories and old wives tales passed down from older alumni who we had never met before.

One of these stories involved a convention we were at, when a member who was a little person was locked in a dog cage…

That wasn’t directed at you! I’m sure you have a lovely personality. It’s just that many times I hear someone dishing out the “I wish they liked me for my personality” line, said persona actually has a horrible personality.

But you fighting polish, I think you’re great.

Your comment reminds me of a former roommate in college who had bad luck with the ladies. Said roommate was fat with terrible facial hygiene, no sense of style, and wasted his days on a Lazy Boy recliner mashing buttons on his XBox controller.

Anytime he complained about not being able to find a girl, he always said…

Hey dude you sound pretty tense, you sure you don’t have a Napoleon complex?

Ha no worries. It is frustrating, I’ve experienced the same thing even though I’m what you would call average height. And I can only imagine what the frustration is like of others automatically perceiving you to be a certain way based on your being of color. But yes, generalizations are very dangerous, especially…

I actually responded to another reply echoing your same sentiment. It’s very true and very dangerous that that sort of thinking will lead down a path of prejudice. If someone does something that’s off putting or offensive, it’s easy to look at them and pick out some way they’re different from you and base the reason…

No maam. I got straight B’s in college, I gots the smarts.

You’re definitely right. Overcompensating or over aggressive behavior is typical of people with insecurities, regardless of their height. It’s like when you notice some sort of offputting behavior by a person you just met, your immediate reaction is to pick what is different about them, “oh they’re doing this because…

I’m a guy, I think 6’1 maybe, but to add to that I notice the same thing. A lot of shorter guys I know seem to overcompensate by acting overly macho or aggressive, a typical Napoleon complex if you will (I know, Napoleon wasn’t actually short.)

Well if you want to talk more later, I’m here, ready to listen.

Really? I thought you’d have a bigger statement, FieryAntidote.

This is unfortunate for me as a Broncos fan living in LA, as I looked forward to four Broncos games here in California during the season.

Music Festivals. I had a great time at them in late teens/early 20’s, but it’s just so crowded and sweaty and you have to stand the entire show. Plus the band doesn’t nearly sound as good had they been performing solo at a venue.

Amen. I’m in my 20s and live in LA. Everyone here is gorgeous, and for a while I felt inadequate because I’m not. Don’t get me wrong, I have a decent face and decent build, but I’ve gained a few pounds over the years and had been desperately trying to get rid of them not for my own health benefit but just to feel like…
