They spent school getting Ds in everything and have no prospects or further education. Now they live in your basement and play early/mid 2000s video games while arguing on the internet all day about how bad landlords are and then they eat Cheetos..

They are unemployed. They got a part time job at Burger King once but then got fired for throwing Chicken McNuggets at a Karen.

They have no money or skills.



You're the parent now, how would you handle it?

Support them and give them time to mature.

The military is a decent idea as well, but I think they got way to foolish with the stress cards.

Wasn't that a myth from the 90s?

Yeah lol

The military stress card was a rumored "Get out of jail free" card said to have allowed United States basic training recruits to halt their training at will by showing the card, probably originating with a United States Navy "Blues Card", a short-term experiment by the United States Navy to inform new recruits about available mental health resources.

Although these cards were only issued for a brief period during the 1990s, the rumor that trainees in all services were issued cards became urban legend. Both Snopes.com and Stars and Stripes confirmed that a card to halt training was a myth.[

The purported use of them in boot camp has been cited as evidence of the softening of U.S. military forces, degrading readiness to fight.

Don't fall for alt-right Ted Cruz propaganda

I'd just let them do their thing, if I could afford it. But I'd check to see if they get radicalized.
