Glamping is essentially super comfy camping. Stuff like sites with electrical hookups, staying in an RV or a yurt or something already set up for you, etc.
Oh, that.

I did my share of that as a kid. When I got old enough to do my own camping trips, though, I was more into the tent and pocket knife level. You can still get a lot more hardcore than that if you want, lol.

But I haven't done any of it in like 20 years so I couldn't gatekeep even if I wanted to, lol.

like what is the point
It's called multiple factor authentication. The idea is that there are three ways to identify a user:

Something they KNOW (eg, a password)
Something they HAVE (eg, an ID card)
Something they ARE (eg, a thumbprint)

MFA uses two or more of these. The idea is, in order for someone to impersonate you, they have to not just trick you into giving them your password, but ALSO get your eyeballs or your phone or etc. Which, needless to say, is MUCH harder.

Give them raises consistent with not just cost of living increases but with the market.

It's literally not a millennial issue, it's a market issue.
If you ask me, the real problem is the older generations are whipped.

They're treating millennials exactly like Boomers and X'ers who are evidently ok with never getting promoted and not matching cost of living increases and yet going "what's wrong with these kids?"

So, how can they retain millennial employees?

Surely we have some millennials here. Let's hear it: why did you REALLY leave your previous job(s)?

For me, it was, first to most recent:

1. Because I was salaried and my boss demanded I work more. Also, I didn't know I could use that to negotiate my salary.

2. Because it was a small company, with small pay and small benefits.

3. Because it was the second-most mind-numbingly boring thing I've ever had to do.

4. Because it was the actual most mind-numbingly boring thing I've ever had to do.

I would go so far as to say "authentic" is one of those terms that best case mean absolutely nothing and denotatively are actually a bad thing. Like when the doofuses on HGTV tour a house that's falling apart and say it "has character" to put a positive spin on the fact that it's falling apart.

Rey seemed to have a stronger bond with Han and Leia than Luke, so Rey Solo would make more sense. It also thematically fits better with how Han apparently gave himself that same name.

Leia was adopted as an infant, thats not remotely comparable to having a teacher for 1 year.
I'd bet money the only reason they went with Skywalker was because The Rise of Solo would have spoiled a certain scene involving what couldn't have possibly been a Force ghost but evidently was anyway.

Well that and it would have given Kylo the shaft, lol. Imagine if they literally named it The Rise of Solo and he freaking dies lmao.

I'll pass. I skipped out on Rise of Skywalker, didn't finish Andor, was disappointed in Boba, skipped Obi-wan, was severely disappointed in Ashoka, and while I still liked Mandalorian, there was definitely a huge drop in quality in season 3. I think Disney should wait a decade before releasing another Star Wars, as its suffered both fatigue and bad decisions.
Mando Season 1 might just be the best Star Wars thing IMO.

Season 2 was a marked drop in quality but still p good.

3 just shouldn't have existed at all and failed to even get pull the "but I'm glad it did anyway" out of me.

Probably. But it's probably because they don't know what it actually means. If you sat them down and asked them a hypothetical based on the concept, they'd probably answer more or less rationally. Especially if you talked them through it a bit.

Thing is, to millions and millions of people, "evolution" is a broad category of ideas that they don't know are distinct from each other, including abiogenesis and the extrapolation of evolution backwards for millions/billions of years.
