I really can’t decide which would be worse, these people or the people who have no internal voice and experience all their emotions, feelings, and thoughts non verbally. I legitimately cannot comprehend either of their human experiences, my mind is an endless cascading monologue with awesome wizard battles happening at all times

I always heard this going around and didn't quite believe it until I started doing tech stuff at a high school. the concept of "restarting" a computer or holding down the power button a Chromebook to do so is like, inconceivable. Or even typing on a keyboard is a super arduous task. I've seen a lot of them try to use touch screens on devices that are not touch based. Madness!!!!

Also they're literal children. They're bad at basically loving everything they do. We were too, it's just a hazard of your brain and body still constantly reshaping itself and not being fully developed. I promise you your memories of your own competency are vastly exaggerated.

At 18 I felt like an adult, at 21 I felt like 18 year olds were still children, at 25 I felt like 21 year olds sounded like children, and at 30 I feel like 25 year olds have absolutely no idea what they are talking about or have a clue how the world works. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for someone in their 40’s or 50’s to try and engage with someone half their age who thinks they know better.

I don't know how you look at someone pointing out that significant portions of younger people are struggling with or failing basic literacy and interfacing tasks, maybe we're failing them somehow and go, um, actually, you're the problem for complaining about it, boomer. Im socialist btw

it actually occurred to me the other night as I was watching First Reformed for the first time in 2021 TYOOL that I cant remember the last time I actually physically wrote anything like I am afraid that handwriting may become a lost skill of mine since nearly 100 percent of my communication is typed or a touchscreen

i too used to be able to write cursive as a child but now my handwriting is so lovely i kind of want to take up calligraphy as a hobby so i can learn to write in a way that doesn't look like an animal scratching in the dirt.

I guess the muscle memory is still there even if the information isn't on deck lol

Previa_fun posted:lmao It's true if you're talking about soft social skills like dating and interpersonal relationships and things like independently managing your time or your diet, sure, most people are dumbasses until sometime in their 20s, but that doesn't really apply to basic motor skill tasks like touch-typing (as in, typing without looking at the keyboard) or power cycling a loving computer And for what it's worth that's something altogether apart from cursive, which is a valuable skill but whose value is primarily aesthetic, versus knowing the basic structure of a computer since the entire infrastructure of the planet is managed by those devices and the more abstracted the general public becomes from the architecture of it, the less power they have over it and the more they cede to the people who do understand and control it Heath fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Oct 25, 2021 |

Western culture creates a surplus of manchildren and womynchildren. We need to return to the old ways, when the full brunt of adulthood descended upon your after your Bar Mitzvah. Furthermore,

I remember thinking in 5th grade that cursive was some super important skill the way that they hammered it into us and when I reached the ripe old age of 16 I realized I was literally only using it to write a lovely signature on cheques that zero human beings look at or care about that it was in fact a useless relic to separate the plebes from the aristocracy

It’s called aphantasia I think, and it just means that I thought “your mind’s eye” was a colorful turn of phrase and not actually real until I was in my 20’s. People don’t really “see” a chair when you tell them to close their eyes and picture one, I thought. Since I figured out I’m not normal I’ve spent a lot more time paying attention to, and trying to describe, everyday objects. I describe stuff with way more accuracy and I’ve built up cultural connections stronger now (like recognizing that certain wood will remind me of generic college dorm furniture wood or whatever.)

You totally need y=mx+b, though. B is the cover charge, m is how much a drink costs, and y equals total money available. X is how many drinks you can afford.
