Me: what's that mean?

Them: age sex and where you're from ;)

Me: 13/m

Them: do you have a bush yet?

Me: A bush? What do you mean?

Literally my first interaction in a chat room.

Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn't know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

I still do, but I used to, too.

Wobbly windows, rotating cube workspace switcher, and a flaming bonanza animation when a windows was closed.

The year was ~2003

I remember just giving up on life in second grade, refusing to participate or do anything because I was sad. Got tested a bunch after that and given pills that mad me a zombie.

There on out I was treated as a weird kid and that brought a different kind of sadness. Puberty added anger and suicidal ideation. The knowledge that I was fucked up, the world was fucked up, and my life wasn't going to work out.

Years later here I am, living with the knowledge I was right and watching myself fail at life, finding no joy or peace in anything. Everything is an open sore. Wondering when I'll get to a point where I rage quit.

I think most of the people I know are anxious or depressed, or both. Hut I don't know of anyone close to me who is at my level.

I stopped reading Sanderson specifically because he puts out so many books with unnecessarily huge page counts that I just don't care anymore.

I'm not allergic to long books either, having read the entire WoT series 3+ times. But I'd much rather read stuff that authors have spent time on instead of mass producing.

Maybe because manh people think it's useless and stupid and wish it would go away. Trusting a random bot to tell you the political leaning of an information source so you know whether to trust the information is peak stupidity, IMO.

Because NASA treats its waste water like every other sane responsible rocket company or government agency.
