    Snowflake tears... each one is unique

    Calling millennials snowflakes damages their mental health | Daily Mail Online


    oh dear you lot are just mean!

    Labelling millennials 'snowflakes' damages their mental health, reveals survey of 16-24 year olds
    The new findings were derived from a survey of 2,022 Brits between those ages
    Almost three quarters of 16-24 year olds believe the moniker is unfair, it found
    The controversial 'snowflake' term is sometimes used to describe young adults
    They are often seen as being prone to taking offence and emotionally vulnerable
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      It would be faintly amusing if reading the Daily Mail caused cancer.

        Professor Ineptias revealed a strong tendency for Daily Mail readers to become dependent on it, struggling to go for more than a day without a “fix”.
        ...
        The Daily Mail has also caused dependence in those who hate it, with people constantly linking to it due to a sense of outrage, a very rare example of “passive dependence”.
        ...
        Reading the Daily Mail has been shown to have a seriously damaging effect on people’s ability to learn new information that isn’t conveyed via hyperbole or exaggeration, or doesn’t put down another group of people in some way.
        ...
        On top of this, the Daily Mail often reports that innocuous things cause cancer. But the one link between all of these things is that they are in the Daily Mail. Professor Ineptias argues that this means the Daily Mail itself is a carcinogen.
        Surely this isn't really a spoof because it just rings so true
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Standard classless post from you wishing cancer on people.
          The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                But carry on laughing.

                  I think you will find more important things like traumatic events, uncontrolled hormones and a lack of reality are more of an issue than calling them snowflakes. I can assure you between 16 & 24 I and a few others went through quite a bit of unpleasantness. Being called names was not really high on my problem list.


                  Do carry on with the virtue signalling. You really care about the snowflakes.
