My sister recently showed me the Tinder game on her phone because I had no idea what it was. Turns out it’s a really boring game where you sort people. It got really gruelling after a while because there were only six types of guys I noticed and the levels take a really long time to beat. I don’t think I got past level one. Suffice it to say that I will probably not be getting this game for my phone, mostly because my phone cannot download games, or anything. Though I am curious how the female contingent looks. UPDATED: This is how the female contingent looks.
The 80’s and 90’s were filled with PSA’s and programming promoting literacy. An important trait for sure, and one that should continue to be nurtured. Be selective about what you’re reading though; the written world is just as fraught with pitfalls as any of the other media spheres. Literature isn’t immune to hacks. A Buzzfeed listicle doesn’t really count, and Divergent barely moreso. Read more non-fiction, more hard news with less opinion and speculation and just FACTS. You know what’s unbiased and strictly facts? MATH.
Millennials, take up a habit of doing numerical problems. Every day challenge your brain with a little trigonometry, algebra, calculus, and others in that family. It wards off brain deterioration and also turns you into an analytical, practical genius…so…win-win.
4. Have a Hobby.
So few millennials regularly practice any sort of art or craft, something with a tangible result. Something that they can brag about and update people on and eventually suddenly become an expert on. Something you can develop over the years and keep you occupied when you are older. So find something and start doing it TODAY. This will reduce wasted time. What else are you going to do in your spare time? Drink and do nothing? Sit around watching television on your iPad?
Plated is a real neat food delivery service that brings gourmet ingredients right to your door so you can make like totally fancy food on your own! Close your eyes and imagine a box full of tiny chefs (probably either gnome or dwarf chefs) coming out and making a delicious feast for you and your friends. Now open your eyes and realize that there never were any tiny chefs, it was you all along. Plated makes it that easy. You have everything you need right there and instructions on how to make it as well. These are chef inspired recipes that sound like swanky millionaire food too. “Coffee Rubbed Steak with Roasted Pepper Panzanella”. “Fontina Polenta with Roasted Spring Vegetables”. Your friends will literally think you are an undercover chef and they will probably hold you to the ground and demand to know your secrets. That is, if your friends are anything like my friends.
Personally, my favorite aspect is that Plated use fresh, healthy, and locally produced ingredients only. Not only is it good for you but it’s good for the environment as well. And the box is biodegradable too. So you are helping the world with each bite of Plated food. Pat yourself on the back! But wait until after you are finished eating.
So like why are you even still reading this you should be ordering something from Platedright now. COME ON GO.
You might have recently caught the trailer for the upcoming Peanuts movie. If not, here ya go.
A+ on the animation job, fellers. Really neat. The content itself is a little corny (the manic sidekick taking the attention away from the protagonist? Is this 1995?). That begs the question though- how are they going to make this decades-old comic relevant for millennials? Particularly since parodists such as the Simpsons, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, and like a hundred people on the internet have already mined the material and spoofed most of the aspects?
