this but unironically

Kids are gonna be super hosed up from having smart phones from day one. Addictive apps like tiktok, freemium games, and all kinds of hosed up porn available to them at an early age is gonna turn their brains into pudding

look at how bad the rest of us are turning out and we have the benefit of having grown up w/o phones. Zoomers and anyone after them are gonna be weird af and I'm here for it

God I hate tiktok it's my most Boomer thing, it's brain poison. I can only imagine how loving bad the next thing is gonna be. Its just gonna be 15 year olds shouting single words with annoying filters in 2 second clips.

Youtubers are also really bad too, in general it seems like theres more people than ever who don't know anything about any subject but are willing to talk with authority on it.

That's probably always been true but they do seem stupider than before, maybe cause instead of being stupid but having read some books everyone is now stupid and has only watched tiktoks made by people who've only watched YouTube.

I think my favourite brand of tuber are the body language and psychology experts who seem to be having to reinvent basic human communication from first principles as if it's a cutting edge new science but misinterpret even the simplest behaviours.

One was on where a guy was analysing some stupid apology vid and the gal in the vid laughs despairingly at the absurdity of the situation while crying and it blew this guys mind. He couldn't figure out why she'd laugh while being sad so he said viewers should just ignore the laugh lol

sound mixing in movies and television is so awful now. maybe I'm just noticing it more? you have to keep your finger on the volume trigger because you never know when the action set piece is gonna blow out your speakers but you couldn't hear the loving dialogue in the previous scene

this is why I have to Power Boomer and keep the closed captioning on at all times lol

CoolCab posted:

more targeted sound devices basically, poo poo is being mixed for high end systems that sounds like complete poo poo in cheaper ones. that fuckin dune movie christ

CoolCab posted:

i've had closed captioning on since i was like 15 lol. just makes it easier to watch the scene i find.

HashtagGirlboss posted:

Close captions are another thing that’s getting worse. Used to be kind of funny to spot the occasional typo but now they’re all just voice to text without any editing so good luck going four words without a bizarre error

BoothBaberGinsburg posted:

I get irrationally annoyed when the subtitles just summarize what a character said instead of being word for word accurate

also some show I was watching had bird calls subtitled as [SEAGULLS QUACKING] but they screech and squawk drat you!

HashtagGirlboss posted:

I always like it when they describe the kind of music playing and it makes no sense like idk some generic rock riff that gets captioned as [instrumental surf guitar]

I forgot both the grocery list and my phone, so naturally I asked the person at the front desk if I could use the phone so I could clarify the grocery list. Ten or fifteen years ago that would be a perfectly normal request, to use a business's phone to expedite my purchase. "Certainly!" they would say, "Make sure to dial 9 first!" This is the reaction I expected.

So I asked the cashier at the front desk if I could use the phone. "Wh- wha?" She reacted like I had crossed a line. Like it was an inappropriate request, as though I asked to borrow her toothbrush or something. The idea of someone asking to use the phone was so alien to herthat she was caught off guard. I explained that I forgot my phone and my grocery list, so I needed to make a call. I felt as if I needed to make it clear that I wasn't some freak weirdo who was going to use the phone at the customer service desk for some weird, unseemly purpose. She grudgingly accepted, but acted like it was this huge weird imposition.

The smartphone has become so necessary for participation in society that even leaving the house without one is unthinkable to people. It's like leaving the house without pants. "oh excuse me, can I borrow your pants? i forgot mine at home." That's what you sound like now if you forgot to bring your phone with you. I don't loving like it and I think the smartphone is the Mark of the Beast. You've all blindly, unthinkingly accepted the Antichrist and by still using a flip phone that can't scan QR codes I remain faithful to Christ. I may be denied access to the menu at The Eatery Social Table and Bar, but I will be granted entry into the Kingdom of Heaven.

How old was this person at the front desk?

HashtagGirlboss posted:

Breaking news: I am having a get together this afternoon and stopped in at Fred Meyer for supplies and once again was FORCED to show my ID and take it out to buy a sixer of Rainer tall boys which lets be honest is that even really beer

The clerk was very nice and he was apologetic about having to ask and he said it was as big a pain in the rear end for them as me so now this policy has been shown to not only impact me but also the service workers on the front lines who should not be forced to get into conflict with every customer

Where is Joe Biden?

I am currently recording an in car driving rant and will post it as long as my sunglasses look cool enough

they have also informed me that my side part is an old lady millennial style, and they have the audacity to do this while wearing rehashed 90s fashion
