- **Published:** 2017-08-20

Oregon has reclassified personal drug possession as a misdemeanor, following the "Portuguese model." A listener's analysis suggests that Millennial activism is rooted in childhood anti-bullying campaigns that taught them they have a moral responsibility to "speak out" against perceived wrongs to avoid being complicit bystanders.

### Millennials, Social Media and the American Airlines Fuel Leak

- **Published:** 2015-11-12
- **Time:** 1:38:26–1:41:15
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/773-all-juice-no-seeds/chapter/millennials-social-media-and-the-american-airlines-fuel-leak.md

A story about a millennial passenger on an American Airlines flight who filmed a fuel leak and tweeted it instead of informing the flight crew. The hosts use this as an example of the "coddled" millennial generation's inability to handle real-world confrontation or emergencies without the mediation of social media. They express concern that this behavior represents a broader sociological shift toward passivity.

### Celebrity Information Paradox, Link Sharing Etiquette

- **Episode:** [9: No Agenda 009](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/9-no-agenda-009.md)
- **Published:** 2007-12-22
- **Time:** 32:43–36:57
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/9-no-agenda-009/chapter/celebrity-information-paradox-link-sharing-etiquette.md

The "million people probably sent this to you" phenomenon is explored, where fans assume a famous person has already seen a news item and therefore stop sending it. This leads to a paradox where celebrities may actually miss important information because everyone assumes someone else has shared it. A parallel is drawn to the bystander effect seen when people witness traffic accidents and assume others have already called emergency services.
