I mean really, it does kinda help to put this all into perspective.

This nonsense is all going on…

Violet likely has no idea, does not care, is memeing about herself as a lamb about to be devoured by wolves.

Lol, extremely apropos, on point meme, haha!

The difference is the young people got their minds obliterated by convenience through apps from a young age… and everyone saying that this would be the new permanent sustainable future, so doing anything the hardway is just stupid.

They were presented with all this, the content on demand, the simplified UIs… things that mostly ‘just worked’.

They also grew up in a time where there is no reward for perservering through difficulty and confusion. The economy, to a job seeker, is a random casino, or nepotism, that’s it.

So to them… any kind of delayed benefit is more pointless.

They’re not ‘making it harder for themselves’… curiosity is a thing that has to be nurtured, encouraged, rewarded… and everything about their lives did the opposite, punished it, mocked it.

Thats not a switch you can just flip. They don’t know how to contemplate.

Another important other part of this is the Boomers rigged society to work for them and fuck everyone else, and lied about doing that… and the Millenials, Zoomers and now Alphas all grew up to now in that world.

Homeowner average age is just the Boomer’s average age. Political figures get older and older, anomalously.

And… nobody teaches anybody anything any more. The Boomers stopped passing down useful life advice, and that has now compounded into the incredible irresponsibility of Millenial parents just handing their 6 month old an Ipad, to do the parenting for them.

Of course the broadly shit economic conditions for Millenials are a huge part of why that happens…

But you can’t pass down skills and habits you don’t have, because they were never passed to you.

I am a millenial. Taught myself how to cook, taught myself car maintenance, taught myself socializing and romance advice/strategies, taught myself personal finance habits… my parents either didn’t have time, mocked me for not already knowing, or actively had terrible advice that was either immoral, ineffective, or both.

And I think that is a very common Millenial experience.

My dad would tell me about the good times he had learning shit from his dad… and then just… didn’t do that, with me.

Maybe I am a bad example, because I am so no contact with my parents they probably think I am dead.

But then again… more and more millenials are going no contact with their Boomer parents, because they’ve been treated similarly terribly.

Really, truly, keep the kindness.

I am aware that now me is a cynical bastard compared to younger me… and I do not like that.

Whatever happens to any of us, the whole world in this … grand collapse, that is about to accelerate…

… love is the only thing that can build, after all the hate and greed has destroyed.

I don’t. I don’t think they know that.

I don’t think you do either.

Leftism can be cleanly seperated from Liberalism in this way:

Leftists want to abolish capitalism, change it so much that it’s not capitalism any more.

Liberals think capitalism is… a good person, but just, misunderstood.

Also, if I just told you that the LW admin/mod team is… consistently defending genociders, and state sponsored terrorism?

And you say… well I am apolitical, so that’s fine?

You are not apolitical, you are in fact explcitly fine with those horrible things, you are saying they don’t bother you that much.

… there are plenty of non political communities and discussion on… all of the banned instances, many others too.

But no, no, you’re fine with the genocide supporting one.

Ok then.

And the funniest part about that…

Is that it was essentially discovered by accident, almost immediatelty.

So… its also an incompetently executed attempt at subversion.

The libs are apparently not sending their best.

You are cool.

You are just also broadly respectable, and a pleasant person.

I’m a brash asshole when someone pisses me off, lol, ran out of fucks to give sometime during COVID.

Yes, the extremist group thinking of ‘i would really appreciate some headpats andmaybealittlebonustreat, ahem but mostly headpats, yes, mhm.’

You know… yeah.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before either.

Fortunately, another violet has blossomed… she’s got a new account, is currently uh… apparently overwhelmed by the number of South Korean fuckbois she has to choose from.

Hey IGN!

… How many PS5s are selling?

After their price raise, and subsequent uh … you could maybe say ‘controversial new policies’?

Look at the ball, children, look at this one, over here, not the other one!

Media literacy: Wait, why are focusing on this, instead of that?

Not to be too flippant, but:

Boomers gonna boom.

They literally can’t help themselves, they’re egomaniacal narcissists.

The rare ones that aren’t that way can truly be awesome sources of perspective… but goddamnit so many of them are completely insufferable man-babies.

All tracking is done by amalgamating as many different overlapping signals and indicators together as you can, and then establishing basically a confidence score/threshold.

This one is extra bad because it was never disclosed previously.

Trust = Gone, what else is MSFT hiding?

yes, but what secret undisclosed id systems, that weren’t definitevely known to exist untill legal proceedings ‘oopsied’ them into reality?

Still too cursed.

you wouldn’t download an operating system

agrees in virulent, nonsensical expletives and slurs

… looks like Admiral Patrick needs to be shown the light.

I think us bitches are getting just a wee bit tired of being smacked up by idiot bigot cry bullies.
