generational paradox

A phenomenon where young individuals from Gen Z feel prematurely aged or burdened by adult responsibilities at a relatively young age (e.g., 22), while older Millennials experience a sense of being "old" around the age of 35 due to societal pressures and expectations.
It's wild how the generational paradox hits hard; my younger sister is only 22 but talks about life like she's already nearing retirement, while my Millennial friends keep saying they feel young at 35.

the existing consciousness- a consciousness which is off-course subjective.Reality therefore, is different for each individual but having many common grounds.

Russel sees a cat being reminded of the tabby his aunt had. Rasoul feels aggression, having being
scratched by one as a child. Brain generated reality here is different for each, arising out of a similar
environmental stimuli

Tornado Generator

The act of defecating in someone's air conditioning unit. When the weather gets hot and the A/C fan kicks on, the inside of the unit is spattered, while the building is fumigated with the stench of burning-hot summer shit.
To show my disapproval of little Johnny's kindergarten graduation, I gave the school a "Tornado Generator".

second-generation enabling

Refers to either of two equally-unhealthy practices that seemingly "skips a place" in the chain of progression, but has a comparably-negative result --- Person A acts as a financial "crutch" for Person B, allowing Person B to continue his dissipative lifestyle:
(1) Where you do not beg resources directly (i.e., "first generation" enabling) from a financially-solvent person who is sick of your mooching, but you instead ask your "benefactor" to extend charity to your equally "spongy" offspring (i.e., you shamelessly take advantage of the person's "family man" nature by using the pathetically-manipulative "cute cherub-faced kiddos" or "they'll only be young once, so I wanna give them a decent childhood" pressure-excuse), or
(2) You don't request a certain amount of money --- say, twenty bucks --- from the disgruntled "provider" for "excessive/addictive/self-abusive" products (i.e., tobacco, alcohol, lottery tickets, unnecessary "pretty things", etc.) that he refuses to provide you with, but you instead ask him for that same twenty bucks to purchase "basic necessities" like simple groceries or household/repair products that he HAS agreed to help you out with obtaining... the catch, of course, is that you spend your OWN twenty bucks on those other unhealthy/senseless purchases instead of spending it on the healthful basics that your friend is giving you money for, and so in the end you are still getting him to make it possible for you to continue your unwise/unhealthy lifestyle.
Be wary of anyone who agreeably says, "Okay, fine --- I won't ask you for any more money for unhealthy stuff; I'll use my own funds for them. But please do give me some money for those "basic necessities" that you said you WOULD buy for me." Well, don't you see --- that's really the same destructive deal when all's said and done --- oh, sure, the person may indeed not be "directly" asking you to buy him cigarettes, but the person is merely using the last of his **own** money for them, and then asking you for money to buy the groceries that he himself could have purchased if he hadn't spent his last dollar on coffin-nails! It doesn't really matter where your added funds are "injected:" into the person's budget --- it's still just second-generation enabling!

me generation

Refers to the person who uses their cellular communication device for nothing but taking selfies. The only thing they contribute to any situations is near identical photo's of themselves posted to social media.
Lars has gone on a me generation vacation. Now that he's botoxed his face, you can't really tell his vacation photos apart from the ones he took on previous vacations - every picture looks the same: Lars with a different background.

homeland generation

another term for Generation Z
much like the millenial generation (or millenials), which is just another term for generation Y

other three most popular variations of generation Z: post-millenials, digital natives, and iGeneration (everyone hates that one though)

technology, computers, phones, all that junk was already around when they were born.

some people call it the digital generation because of that
"He was born in 2004 right?"
"Yeah, he's a homeland."

"Hey what's the date range for people who were born in the Homeland Generation?"
"1995 to 2010."
