    Meh. The churn of brain rot on social media platforms has become so desperate I don’t even try to figure it out anymore. Too many vainglorious famewhores all trying to coin terms or “challenges” making it a massive churn of ever-shifting garbage to steer views their direction.

      I mean, before the stupid challenges it was Jackass; before that it was America’s Funniest Home Videos. Dumb entertainment has always existed.

        AFV edited the shit of its show. People didn’t get hurt, there were no politics, it was silliness and “family” entertainment.

        Jackass was all about stupid humans hurting each other or themselves. But they didn’t imply or tell you to engage in the stupidity.

        The social media tools today are actively and willfully destructive. Doesn’t matter if it’s telling outright lies about politics or the sciences, or “challenging” people to do risky or damaging things.

        Yeah, stupid humans have done stupid things since forever, but now they’re paid to do it and encourage others to do so as well.

    Up to 24 people are sympathetic. You will find a lot of people that will (correctly) say “you’re young. Just enjoy your time you don’t need to worry about where you’re headed. It will come to you”. Wait until next year. 25 is when that changes to “what the fuck are you doing with your life”. Basically what I’m saying is you’re not old. Until next year.

    I’m 40+ and I keep inventing words with friends, why blame the young ones ?

    (I mean except for the fact that they listen to shitty music and ours was better 👴)

        I don’t know what happened circa 2005 where radio stations banded together to only play the worst music but there is still good music around. It just doesn’t see play in avenues you’re exposed to

        (This extends to streaming)

      You probably just forgot about all the bad music you used to listen to and now compares all the new stuff to the best from your time.

    Is now a bad time to point out that all words are made up? If your generation got to do it, there’s no reason to begrudge any other.
