Trump's gonna be so powerful in 24, all this time without seeing him he's going to kill in the debates. If BIg Tech really wanted to kill his chances they'd give him his twitter back now so we can get our fix before the election.

If he runs he's 100% going to be elected again and the meltdowns will be hilarious

can’t see any reason why he wouldn’t. even if he somehow loses he’ll stand to make a ton of money from the rubes

anyway, I remember seeing a bunch of libs crowing on twitter post-election about how the NY attorney general is going put him in jail and can only assume that it’s gonna happen any day now

A former US President will never see any consequences because then they would all see consequences and that isn’t how our system is constructed.

The only question is who will it be funnier for him to defeat, Harris or Buttigieg.

The difficulty discussion is fun because back in the day, Real GamersTM were the ones more likely to know and use cheat codes.

In other news, my sister is scheduled to have a c-section today. Soon, I shall gain the powers of Uncle Magic!

i dont thihnk i ever finishd doom 2 and starcraft without using cheat codes (i was really young tbf)

There is also a disturbing trend to put a "carrd" link in their bios that give literally all their personal info and list of phobias and fears, for..some reason. Zoomers are shockingly internet illiterate for a generation raised on it.

It’s weird because when conservatives are like “you can’t have gay parents, they’ll expose their children to devious sexuality!” my response is “that’s reactionary horseshit!” but then you have a whole generation of online youth, many of whom were still years away from IRL sex, and they’re furry-cybering with with a Deviant Art guy who only posts Dragonball Z Vore and suddenly I’m like “yeah actually ok I get where you’re coming from, conservative shitheads.”
Teens should be having clumsy normie sex with each other after school or in their cars, not pole-vaulting straight into the Weird Sex Olympics. I could easily see how having online sex hipsters try to bully you into becoming more open-minded would just turn you off completely.

It’s like 3rd or 4th largest media forum on the planet Earth and you have an aging Vietnam veteran’s understanding of what constitutes “real”.

Also I was a teacher for almost 10 years. The youth aren’t a particularly mysterious nut to crack.

No, no, you're right, literally every single person in an entire generation is exactly the same, and your mental image of a zoomer is definitely not just a repackaged version of the horseshit boomers were throwing at millennials for the past 2 decades. It's not like that's an extremely common mental trap to fall into that has been noted throughout history about how the generation after yours are always the worst in history.

There is a tendency among some Zoomers to cry about sex in media, though I would blame Disney deliberately making sexless, neutered characters as aspirational before I blame the kids.

My favorite story about Internet generation is the podcaster who told the story of going to a cabin in the woods without WiFi, and trying to jack off for the first time in her entire life without porn on her phone, just her imagination, and she couldn’t do it.
