I went to the article, but everything after the first sentence was faded out and they wanted me to sign in to read it. Instead, I made up my own fictional back story about how this happened: Rich CEO meets young sexy tattooed gen-X intern, they date, she takes him to a rave, the smoke weed after and listen to jazz. They fall in love. He quits... now fade out. I am not sure I care what the real story is.

Gen X refers to people born in 60s to 80s. I don't think they would be young interns in 2022 anymore.

  Most Millennials wouldn't really be interns at this point either.
  - brendoelfrendo 4y ago
    The youngest millennial is roughly 26 (depending on whose numbers you use), so probably not an intern (though still possible). The oldest Gen-Z are old enough to have been out of college for a couple years now.

  Right the CEO is Gen X They would be the same age And with that level of inequality it would be much less interesting to elope with someone that age. Some people think “I like relatable people and I cant relate to people under a certain age, what do you talk about” which simply means they tried the hot younger person first/eventually like everyone else and if they had any game or tolerance they would be with that younger sexier person sexier by the definition of improved utility of sex henceforth making them more sexually attractive at all

    perhaps they stayed up all night finding a mental connection as they discussed quantum physics late into the night.

      One of my icebreakers is that I guess an attractive woman’s occupation is Biochemical Engineer and she laughs at the absurdity because she’s actually “taking a break from her communications major this semester” (for the past 5 years) or loves how progressive I am to accurately assume she navigates the Western STEM world while being visually appealing Only upside so far Just nod, play along

“Young gen-X intern”. Maybe if this story was in 2000.
- mellavora 4y ago
  Maybe it is science fiction, and the intern had been part of a suspended animation experiment which went horrible wrong... until it went wonderfully right?

As a millenial I'm relieved to hear that a gen-x'er who's probably in their 40's would be considered young.
- zw123456 4y ago
  Man, I am old. What gen is it then? Gen Z ?
  - yieldcrv 4y ago
    Yes, Gen Z is the current term for “everyone younger and un-relatable to me” And would also likely be the interns you described

      but she introduced him to a side of himself he never knew, now, they site on the beach and write music and poetry together
    - jakelazaroff 4y ago
      Gen Z is ~1996–2010.
      - yieldcrv 4y ago
        That's a good PSA for those browsing by, was there additional insight you intended for me in response to my comment?
        jakelazaroff 4y ago
        No, was just an FYI because it sounded like you didn’t realize there’s an actual time period for Gen Z birth years.

I think we should do that more often when the OP can't be bothered adding a non-paywall link, given we're not allowed to moan about it. A re-imagining seems a good compromise.

you left out the Molly when referencing a rave so believability takes a hit, but the end satisfies so it can be overlooked

  Hey, everybody, take it easy on my fantasy!! :) just kidding, all in good fun.

You are describing Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Elon Musk did this (and left a few babies along the way) but didn't retire.
- zw123456 4y ago
  hmm, does he do weed, based on some of his tweets... um...
  - ricardobayes 4y ago
    He also didn't tweet for 5 days and counting

    There's literally a video (and famous meme template) of him smoking on a podcast.

a CEO hooking up with an intern would be a great reason to quit and keep the reasons under the rug
