My dad posts the worst of the worst "Trump is like today's Jesus" images. Mom posts a lot of right wing stuff, and parrots, lots and lots of parrots. Occasionally one of them will post something very stupid, like "OBAMA APOLOGIZES TO JAPAN FOR THE US NUKING THEM IN WWII", "PRIVATIZE ALL OF OUR WATER SYSTEMS", "GIVE EVERYONE OVER 50 $1,000,000". When I comment about how silly/stupid/wrong they are, they get really angry.

I definitely feel like what used to be email forwards is now Facebook memes, so honestly maybe it's not that different from the 90s.

My uncle posts grammatically challenged pro-trump poo poo every where on Facebook. He's been banned twice now for racism. He's pure Mexican and has been on fake disability for 20 years. But he's really fun when he's drunk and/or high, so we still let him hang out with us. Here's a sample: "We should know a h all the dumb rear end leftist" I don't know either.

A friend of mine lurked around there for years and years I was on it a year or so before I gave it up. It’s essentially a weird LARP. People are playing roles in a big improv of conspiracies and religion and just bizarre new age ideas.

I taught my teacher mom "honey badger don't care" and she's going to say it to her class of middle schoolers to try and sound hip. I told her not to, I loving warned her!

being a 90s internet kid makes you weirdly prescient about certain ways of thinking and talking that have just now taken over mainstream culture. i played a lot of mmos up through early to mid era world of warcraft. i eventually decided the whole popular mere-driven popular 'internet culture' that grew up around them was narrow and stupid and self-diminishing. now everyone on twitter, facebook, etc., thinks and talks exactly like people in mmos from the 90s and early 00s, complete with 'epic fails' and 'owning' various people.

When I was young, nothing was on tv from 12-6am (CNN supposedly ran but I never watched it). In the late 90s, there were a few channels that had 24 hours of programming. Then it exploded almost solely because of the internet. Being saturated with media was new and experiencing it was a relatively slow process for those of us watching things unfold. How would someone born, say, during the Iraq War (the second one) understand how much things can change in so short a time? It calls a lot of things in to question about your place in the world, that's for sure. All I can think of is having one's parents posting on Facebook about them and wanting to change names and move to another town. gently caress, having to go to church can be Big Brotherly enough. Holy poo poo, fighting with people over the internet used to be viewed as loving lame (so did online dating but, eh) but now you've got to tell off uncle Dan because he's a gun nut and racist. And he's like "wipe the facepaint off, goth boy" I'm mad just thinking about it.

I feel bad for kids who are 8, 9, and 10 years old who have youtube and twitter accounts. They were practically born into socially acceptable mental illness and it's going to diminish their livelihoods down the line.

curlys gold posted:my dad watches youtube POV train trips This is the most hosed up thing in the thread. Buy him an account. The only long distance communication I will have with my parents is phone calls. If they send a text or an email I'll either ignore it if it's banal or call them. Thinking about making an exception just to do the apple loading gif prank as a dementia test.

Pov train videos are pretty cool, I've watched one from the US (across the Sierra Nevada, pretty breathtaking), one from Vietnam and one from the Netherlands that I can think of. You get to see some beautiful landscapes and it's very relaxing

I pretty much only use my facebook to share photos I've taken, it's a easy way to post photos of people having fun doing things they like to do. But it gets eaten up by the feed really fast so if it isn't tagged to a person it's basically gone in a day. Photography is a weird one too these days for a thousand reasons. The democratization of photography, that everyone has a camera, is good. But it started when DSLRs like the Rebel came out and everone got one. Now apparently just by owning a camera you start putting borders and watermarks on your hack trash. This trend has thankfully backed off a lot. Now that everyone has a pretty capable camera in their pocket and post poo poo loads of photos the people who spend the extra effort standout. But since fresh content is king you can take the best photo ever but it's 15 seconds of fame. I'd say the larger trend is for the desire for immediate gratification and even though communication is lightspeed these days the desire is not often matched by reality but continues to be a propped up like it was digested and understood. There is a massive daily cognitice dissonance going on on all levels of culture where people just fool themselves into quantity over quality. There is too much media to consume and just pretending like you get it is the way to go. numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 12:37 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Not sure what kind of weird YouTube you're on.

the only thing lamer than a political thread that doesn't get immediately pruned only because it was started by a mod is one full of people complaining that those who spent 20 years raising them, feeding them and caring for them don't share 100% of their lame ever-so-slightly-left-of-center-but-not-too-much political views. "Oh no my dad watches leftist youtubers!!! woe is me" "you think that's bad? My mom once watched a Ben Shapiro video... my life is literally hell and I want to kill myself just for that..." loving whiny babies (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
