Does she not know how phones work? Doesn't she have "assistants" who could call or email for her if she's worried about giving out personal info?

People who spend that much time on social media don't seem to know how to function without it anymore.

As technological progress continues the so-called stupid old fart line will get younger and younger. Before it was don't trust anyone over 30, now it's 25 and as the zoomers age it will continue to drop. In the future everyone over a month old will be dottering fools unable to access the brainwave posting devices.

going from a world without those to the current day is too much. that's why you have olds out there telling kids to pound the pavement and poo poo, because they cannot understand that every company has an endless stack of resumes from all over the country to pick and choose from. it is a completely different world

The world also moves and changes so fast now that "wisdom" doesn't mean jack poo poo anymore. You have to adapt and learn quickly, what was relevant today will be irrelevant tomorrow. Life experience won't get you anywhere when the world is completely different than what you experienced.

I don't automatically disrespect elders, but I definitely lose a lot of respect for them when they treat you like incompetent morons and refuse to acknowledge that you're perfectly capable of figuring out your world even if you've been in it for less time than they have.

That isn't just old people. My last girlfriend actually gave me poo poo for never handing in paper applications in 2015.

I was just like...why? If you go to a place in person then they just point you at a kiosk (if they even have one, that is) that has exactly the same process as going to the website in the end. Pounding the pavement is long since dead and gone.

Yeah, it reads less like sovcit nonsense and more like this rear end in a top hat found out two pieces of information, the IRS has rewards for ratting out tax frauds and cash payments can often go unreported, and thought he'd figured out one cool trick to get some easy money.

It's insane because my local dive bar is cash only and has been in business since the 1950s in an area that's been gentrified full of nosy NIMBY motherfuckers who rat each other out over lawn ordinances constantly.

The main reason for being cash only is to avoid credit card fees, not cheating on your taxes. If you're going to cheat on your taxes just be smart enough to keep two sets of books.

GEtting dressed, going outside, physical exertion to get to the building, waiting in line all showed a work ethic that online applications don’t.
