My superpower is that people will just tell me things.

Back when I was getting my first Covid shot the pharmacist was on break so I was standing talking to the pharm tech. This women told me everything. Even the vibrator she was looking to buy. I was like oh holy damn girl you get that shit you do you!

There are others but this is that one’s the most crazy one I can currently remember. If I come up with anymore I’ll add to this thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Also if this is you. Like you are the person who will tell me things keep it up you’re doing great!

Hey, psa: there is a Dove ad at some movie theatres that begins with a warning “sensitive content” and the Dove logo and the song is “you are so beautiful to me.” The nature of the “sensitive content” is eating disorders. If this triggers you, please immediately bury yourself in your phone or close your eyes until the song ends because it otherwise may be upsetting.

If you could let your friends know, that might help them!

A Lois Lane who pictures herself as a modern woman. She’s especially proud of being polyamorous. She has two boyfriends! Consensually! She read the Ethical Slut! Of course her boyfriends don’t ever seem to meet each other and she really wants that. She’s starting to get worried her one boyfriend with all his Kansas charm might be a bit small minded. If she could just get them in the same room together! She knows Superman and Clark would hit it off!

Why don't zoomers use emulators or torrent things anymore? A good amount of zoomers could probably figure it out with time but people either just buy digital games or use pirate streaming sites.

I think there’s a certain technical knowledge gap between people whose first computer was a Windows XP machine and people whose first computer was an iPad. On a mobile device like that, even the filesystem is abstracted away from you, so if that’s all you’ve used your whole life, you may not know what a “folder” or a “file” is. If you don’t know what those are, how could you be expected to understand something like torrenting? Then add the layer of a VPN, which is basically a necessity when torrenting lest you get a love letter from your ISP, and I’d say it’s all but impenetrable for our strawman.

Idk man. Torrenting isn’t hard, but there’s a barrier to entry that a lot of people who grew up using smartphones aren’t equipped to handle. There are plenty of millenials who don’t know how to torrent either, and plenty of zoomers who do. It’s just a technological generation gap.

a big reason is that zoomers are terrified of “viruses”, an amorphous threat they’ve heard about their whole lives in association with piracy but don’t actually understand. I run a discord specifically geared towards helping newbies learn to pirate things and generally be more independent on their devices and this is usually the first bit of misinformation (that viruses are omnipresent and all-powerful and impossible to avoid) we have to debunk for people.

in working with people on this project I’m finding that fear in general is a major generational culture difference. zoomers are terrified of everything. they have a good reason to be, don’t get me wrong, but most of them have been taught no coping skills or resiliency whatsoever, they’ve just been raised to be scared of everything all the time without any lessons on how to do things that scare them and manage risk, and a lot of them only have avoidance as a coping tool.

they especially have not been taught to critically think about supposed threats or research the truth about rumors or stories they’ve heard, and “researching” anything on Google is now such a dicey proposition I’m not sure you can even really debunk things for yourself anymore unless you’ve already grown up without Web 3. this isn’t their fault, their parents and teachers have done this intentionally, but it really makes me angry that so many young people are being needlessly made to suffer like this.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so much zoomer horror, especially creepypasta, is based on the ideas of ghosts in the machine, malevolent third party or “rogue” software, mind controlling corporate software projects, etc. millennials wrote most of these stories but zoomers are the primary audience and their consumption of the genre reflects their anxieties about technology

i enjoy shamelessly normalizing medications. i enjoy saying things like “give me a couple of hours, my meds haven’t kicked in yet” and “sorry, my meds have worn off and im not feeling great” in normal conversations regardless of the company. ive never met a single person who talks about their medications, and i enjoy just dropping comments that make it seem normal.

this old post of mine is picking up speed and i’ve noticed now that it is cut short.

so here, my belated addition: i enjoy making medications (and the action of talking about them) seem normal, because they are.

*Data voice* I cannot get high Geordi. However, an analysis of the smoke you are exhaling indicates a sativa dominant strain with a THC content that would more accurately be described as “mid” or “reggie” rather than “fire” as you suggested.

When you have to spend 45 minutes arguing the plot of a doll movie cause your political movement is definitely winning in the marketplace of ideas and you attempted to grow a beard to hide your botched lip filler in your old navy outlet Jean jacket.
