Nobody’s kicked me off yet, you’ll be fine

Hell I’m young enough my generation’s stupid shit was posted to the internet. We yoloed and had rage comics about le epic bacon, as we asked what the fox says and sang about Friday and calling us maybe, and now it’s cringe but it’s also good memories of our youth. Hell that doesn’t even touch on the hell that was the homestuck kids (who are now adults, many even have ok taste now). And it all happened right here on the devil’s own internet. It’s still up as Tumblr likes to dredge up from time to time.

Someday 67 will be that for the kids these days. And more will come. Some may be like rickrolling and become classic, but in a less omnipresent form, while others will be like homestuck and be weirdly influential on future culture when you look at how terrible it is in retrospect. But it’s theirs to do.

Exactly. Do I find it annoying? No, but if I interacted with children much I probably would. Kids are annoying, but stuff like this is culturally valuable because it’s them practicing growing and changing culture. Things that annoy the old people like us are also part of how teenagers get us to leave them alone so they can grow up in peace. From there younger and younger kids copy older kids because that’s how kids work. Then eventually the parents and teachers that understand kids will get in on it poorly when they’re well and truly sick of it.

Hell, every once in a while the kids get into something good, though it’s usually music or books.

Party of personal freedom and free speech y’all

I for one believe people should have the freedom to be annoying.

Your comment reminded me of a road in a suburb in Ohio I once heard about called Sharts Road. For context, in American slang to shart is to fail to merely flatulate. Every once in a while I look up if that town ever noticed and changed it. And well…

It’s such a 19th century-ass take that it’s on the verge of proposing eugenics and Magdaline laundries.

It’s not a solution, but as someone who slept in her car in a college parking lot because her father got pissed at her being around his house while queer, it’s better than we’d had. I was afraid I would get in trouble for sleeping like that. Mind you, the main reason I couldn’t sleep that night was that it was really fucking cold and it’s really hard to sleep in a car.

Housing first is the best solution, but we also need humane solutions for short term homelessness. The “I left in the middle of the night and need a few days to get my bearings because things could go any humber of ways” type stuff. Shelters are so intimidating and have a reputation for being hostile to those that need them.

My college had a food bank, and as I think of this, they really could’ve had a shelter for students as well. Just a few dorm rooms done simple with literature on resources where if you need to stay there a few days you can. Instead I wasn’t allowed to sleep on a student’s couch for more than two consecutive nights.

Tbh as someone who had to sleep in her car a few times in college, it would have been a nice thing to have. Like, yeah it’s bad that it’s needed, and an indoor option like some benches in rooms that are unused at night would’ve been also desired, but the most important thing was being able to know I wouldn’t get in trouble for sleeping somewhere.

I get that college is expensive, but I think this hits more closely at the lack of social services and the inherent instability in the lives of people new to adulthood. They don’t have the financial backing to get a hotel for a night, especially as they’re putting in a full time job of their education (though they may very well be working as well).

They’re also just more likely to be in unstable living conditions. Compared to adults 5-10 years older they’re far less likely to be in stable long term habitation of their choosing and instead are far more likely to be living with roommates, parents, or a partner of only a few years or even less with whom they have little commitment beyond a lease. These situations are more volatile, especially in ways that can lead to needing to sleep somewhere else for a few nights.

Christians attempting to follow their favorite commandment: Thou shall kill

As someone who’s done portrait modeling, yeah it’s unpleasant, but it’s not “I need a drink” bad. It’s far more “why did I sign up for this again” bad

Yeah and I think it’s time to start trying to get the horse back in the barn

Full agreement. Honestly it’s not even that I really hate the glasses (though I do), but my bigger issue is making content of strangers with neither consent nor good reason. You should fear your camera will get broken for that.

Oh it doesn’t have a political bias? That’s miraculous in a world in which various forms of scientific consensus don’t meet that bar

Trying to convince each other that we’re “responsible gun owners”

3.2% on a gaming hardware survey is fucking insane stats for Linux though. Three years ago that wouldn’t have been believable.

Cambodia and Armenia being at war without major alliance stuff would be fucking nuts.

It’s a reasonably priced gaming pc designed for couch use and pre loaded with a couch friendly os. As someone who prefers to game from her couch I can totally see myself weighing it if I was in a position to not miss the money and to take advantage of it. Especially if I think of when I did my last major pc upgrade.

Yeah I worry about the number of men who are growing up to be real weenies who really want to get laid but have no idea how to talk to people they’re attracted to or build a relationship. That’s bad, unlike asexual men who merely don’t find anyone attractive.

Not really. West Virginians are more stereotyped as uneducated and impoverished. Like you expect some bigotry, but the kind that can be soothed over by a few pies and a couple years of hard work alongside them in the community.

Regular Virginia on the other hand, is stereotyped as a middle class, very white, former confederate state that’s gone swing in recent decades. You don’t expect someone to start saying overtly racist shit because they’re Virginian, but if they do, it’s gonna be bad and you’re not shocked.
