Maybe be we could call them snowxi. These are sturdier than snowflakes, but not as sturdy as snowmen and snowwomen. They are still nuts, though.

The woman in the photo with the story doesn’t fit into the 18-24 millennial age bracket. She’s a few decades ahead of them.

The majority of casualties in the Nam war were baby boomers. And the majority of baby boomers voted Ronald Reagan into the White House.

As much as I'd like to believe be the results, this is likely a bogus poll:

-the commissioning party was U.K. Insurer Avivia, which couched these results in terms of mental health, ie this is a self-serving study.

-Avivia didn't conduct the survey. Censuswide has a fixed panel of poll respondents - sort of a pre-selected "random" sample (problematic elects in my view are in bold):

Our panel has over 69,000 UK members. The panel was originally recruited via sampling specialists and since has grown organically. Panelists can opt to answer all surveys - but will be filtered out if a survey is not relevant to them. Panelists are also invited to participate in surveys via a newsletter. All surveys are incentivised by a prize draw, which will vary in value depending on the survey length.

Saying your mental health is damaged by being called a snowflake is pretty much the definition of a snowflake.

Everything damages their mental health and feelings which is why they are called snowflakes in the first place. Pick up your play dough and return to your safe space!

“74 percent of respondents took it a step farther, arguing that they believe the use of the label could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.”

In Army basic training, we evolved from maggots to faggots to girls to clowns, with an occasional idiots and morons thrown in. I just don’t think I could’ve endured ‘snowflake’.

Only snowflakes who are already emotionally crippled social misfits have mental issues over being called snowflakes....

Kind of like an old Thanksgiving cartoon - a young turkey has just walked in the door in tears and the Mother Turkey says, "Son, you musn't get upset when the other kids call you a turkey - you ARE a turkey...."
