    America, Clothes, and College: O4G19:39
 pervocracy
 I wonder if one of the causes of animosity
 towards "entitled millennials" is that many millennials
 are poor people who look rich. Theres this growing
 class of people who wear nice clothes, have fancy new
 electronic gadgets, go out to eat nice food... and will
 never own a home or have a retirement fund or put a
 child through college.
 It's so easy to say "if you cut down on the avocado toast
 maybe you could save up", and so hard to accept that
 a house these days is fifty thousand avocado toasts,
 and thats why so many of us have just given up. We
 don't treat ourselves because we think the world will
 take care of us when we get older, we treat ourselves
 because we know it won't. Might as well feel and look
 good on the way down

 think you're absolutely right. And what compounds
 this image is the fact that fancy new gadgets and nice
 looking clothes and elevated toast ARE all relatively
 cheap compared to how they look. The cost of things
 has gone way down while the price of property has
 skyrocketed. I can buy a full outfit, a phone case with
 an external charger embedded, and lunch at a local
 business for under $50 total, but then I'll walk home to

 Older, better off people also have difficulty
 understanding the cell phone thing because they
 remember cell phones being a luxury for thousands of
 dollars practically yesterday in their personal timeline of
 the world. They often have sincerely no idea you can get
 at least a flip phone for $10 and pay as you go
 And foods that used to be "exotic dining" in America
 like sushi and pho and curry have normalized enough,
 especially in cities, to be as inexpensive as a typical
 quick Tunch
 kyraneko
 Yep. There's an aspect of frugality to turning your
 buying choices to what gets you the most bang for your
 buck, and now that you can have sushi for the price of
 McDonald's, buy a suit from the thrift store and have
 it tailored to you for less than the price of a new pain
 of jeans, and find smartphones for under a hundred
 dollars or even free with data plan, that is the sort of

 I wonder if one of the causes of animosity
 towards "entitled millennials" is that many millennials
 are poor people who look rich. Theres this growing
 class of people who wear nice clothes, have fancy new
 electronic gadgets, go out to eat nice food... and will
 never own a home or have a retirement fund or put a
 child through college.
 It's so easy to say "if you cut down on the avocado toast
 maybe you could save up", and so hard to accept that
 a house these days is fifty thousand avocado toasts,
 and thats why so many of us have just given up. We
 don't treat ourselves because we think the world will
 take care of us when we get older, we treat ourselves
 because we know it won't. Might as well feel and look
 good on the way down
 geobrarian
 think you're absolutely right. And what compounds
 this image is the fact that fancy new gadgets and nice
 looking clothes and elevated toast ARE all relatively
 cheap compared to how they look. The cost of things
 has gone way down while the price of property has
 skyrocketed. I can buy a full outfit, a phone case with
 an external charger embedded, and lunch at a local
 business for under $50 total, but then I'll walk home to

 It's unintentional smoke and mirrors

 Older, better off people also have difficulty
 understanding the cell phone thing because they
 remember cell phones being a luxury for thousands of
 dollars practically yesterday in their personal timeline of
 the world. They often have sincerely no idea you can get
 at least a flip phone for $10 and pay as you go
 And foods that used to be "exotic dining" in America
 like sushi and pho and curry have normalized enough,
 especially in cities, to be as inexpensive as a typical
 quick Tunch
 kyraneko
 Yep. There's an aspect of frugality to turning your
 buying choices to what gets you the most bang for your
 buck, and now that you can have sushi for the price of
 McDonald's, buy a suit from the thrift store and have
 it tailored to you for less than the price of a new pain
 of jeans, and find smartphones for under a hundred
 dollars or even free with data plan, that is the sort of

 I love seeing grown humans setting about little creative tasks out of
 boredom and then looking quietly pleased with themselves, like
 maybe a middle-aged woman on her train home from work manages
 to make a tower out of empty coffee creamers and gazes at it proudly
 for a few seconds
 I love seeing other people make the overblown OOPS I FORGOT
 SOMETHING performance for no-one that most of us do when we
 have to turn around in the middle of the pavement.
 I love seeing stony-faced people in queues unable to contain a smile
 when a baby looking over its mother's shoulder in front of them locks
 eyes and does that astonished stare
 brittajj26
 when someone is standing in line and they don't quite dance to the
 music playing, but you can SEE their head bop and them mouthing
 the words
 when someone thinks no one's paying attention and they sing-talk
 themselves thru a task
 when they laugh or try to hide a laugh when looking at their phone
 elodieunderglass
 when someone does the thing where they enter another space
 (such as a supermarket aisle) striding with total purpose, then
 suddenly forget what they're doing/looking for, and stop there looking
 blank for a millisecond while they reboot.
 - when people are looking for scissors, in their home or in a store
 and they make the scissors gesture with their non-dominant hand as
 an aid to remind them what they're doing
 when automatic social interactions glitch, like when you tell a waiter
 that you hope he enjoys his food too, or tell the stranger on the
 phone that you love them
 - the hand gesture people make when they're thinking at their
 computer, not typing, and their elbow rests on the table, and they feel
 the edge of their fingernail with their thumb. This is such a lovely little
 gesture and to my knowledge I have never seen it in fiction. You'd
 think it would come up all the time in fic.
 - when you're sharing an experience with a complete stranger (like
 watching a seagull throw up in public, or waiting for a late train) and
 you make eye contact, and some comment to each other, and then
 you guys are, like, ALLIES now. Like you would willingly ride to war
 to save them. You can't make eye contact again, but you are very

 "evidence of other people's rich, baffling and complex inner

 thanks @elodieunderglass and @happylilprompts. Why does
 realism in storytelling tend to focus on details of pain, fear, or horror
 and so rarely on these sorts of moments, which are just as universal
 and real. When did realistic become synonymous with awful, dark,
 and the abominable "gritty?
