Good that is what your dumb rear end gets for trying to pay with cash.

cash is good my friend, it lets small businesses avoid credit card processing fees

Brother I have worked with enough small business types to know that I do not want to help them in any capacity.

that's very true but I still like to avoid big finance corporations skimming money off the top when possible

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 :D

teenagers have attention spans of like 30 seconds because of tiktok and all that garbage, then they go off to college and get told to read 20 pages of a book and freak the gently caress out

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

the new cycle of intellectual production is that an unemployed person with a political science degree reads a book and writes a Medium post summarizing it incorrectly, a youtuber reads that Medium post and makes a 20-minute video essay interpreting the book wrong, a tiktoker watches that youtube video and makes a 1-minute video interpreting the video essay wrong, and then the people who watched that tiktok video tell their friends about it in 10 seconds and everyone is stupider than they were at the start

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

I read once that it's also because these days directors insist on having control over even minor things like sound mixing, and they're so immersed in the movie that they've memorized all the lines and can tell what actors are saying even when they're mumbling and drowned out by noise, so the sound mixer tells them "this is unintelligible" and the director says "play it back so I can hear, hmm, nope sounds fine to me I can tell everything they're saying" and that's the last word on the subject
