2023 has been, without a doubt, the most depressing, dire, enraging year for the internet. youtube is blocking adblockers. twitter is a racist homophobic NFT bro incel's paradise. tumblr is shoving their dumbass live service in our faces (yet it's still the most habitable social media right now). reddit had that whole API disaster thing. instagram killed hashtags and now it's basically impossible to grow an account on there...and horrific everything-phobic comments are allowed, and if you report them or call them out, YOU'RE the one who gets banned.

at the beginning of 2023, most of these websites were still themselves for the most part, but for some reason it was this year when they all decided to burst into flames. the internet is literally uninhabitable. we live in a world that's suffering from inflation, where the average neurodivergent youtube junkie like me isn't able to afford 15 dollars a month to remove ads. there are too many streaming services. everything is too much. it's too overstimulating.

POV: Your subordinate is half your age.

Writing this, let alone making research for this lingo, was physically painful

Translation ⬇️

Roy: Well done on the Liore case, you two. Nice work. I appreciate you resolving the matter.

Ed: We had a bad time looking for the (philosopher) stone. Turns out it was a fake.

Roy: The what?

Ed:

Ed: I said we had bad luck?

Ed: Geez, you may think you have a big ego but you're seriously not all that.

Al: Stop showing off, Brother.

i know 99.5% of people will just glance at a pretty picture and reblog it without thinking twice about it. but can't you see there is not mastery there? no brush strokes, no human hand holding the pen. aren't you entranced enough to zoom in and look at the details? That's right, there are none, because when you look closely everything turns to undefined goop. aren't you furious? you are being lied to. no emotion brought this image together. it is woven with nothing but copyright infringement and pixel soup.

Can I just say that one trend with computers that I absolutely fucking hate is companies manufacturing them without disc drives?

Is physical media really considered so woefully obsolete these days that computer manufacturers don't expect you to even have any anymore?

The only device I own without a physical disc drive is my gaming laptop, and that is only because they don't make gaming laptops with DVD drives anymore.

So any physical PC game I own, I have no way to install it on that laptop unless I purchase an external disc drive. Is it really so fucking taboo to ask for the computer I am spending money on to have a built-in disc drive?

Every other computer I've ever owned, including the one I am writing this post on at this moment, has at least had a DVD drive.

i will never understand the hate that some older millennials direct towards younger adults born in the mid to late 90s. i’m a zillennial (january of ‘98) and while i haven’t lived either the FULL millennial or gen z experience, i DO know that shitting on people solely for the year they were born in is fucked up. it’s very disheartening how grown adults will gatekeep entire cultural phenomena. the commodification of media thanks to sites like buzzfeed has convinced us that we did not truly experience something unless we had physical ephemera of that era. if we didn’t have 20 beanie babies or didn’t hear bye bye bye on a hitclip or had to wait 20 minutes to use dial-up internet or used T9 on a flip phone or watched clarissa explains it all live on nickelodeon, we weren’t really #millennials. 30-year-old grown adults are saying shit like ‘oh, you like that? well guess what, i grew up with it and LIVED through it.’ on the flip side of this coin, we can and should ALSO acknowledge the existence of cringe without making people feel excluded from participating in said phenomena. if we shit on zoomers for rediscovering early 2000s fashion trends or listening to music of the late 90s, or shit on 1997 & 1998 adults for having little to no recollections of a time before 9/11, what are we doing? what does that say about our generation? what does that say about how we define ourselves?? it’s a boomer mentality that is tainting the experience for all of us, not to mention dividing us up. we can be nostalgic for a time when life was indeed simpler without being actively harsh to young people also partaking in that innocence. please be kind and let people enjoy things.

Riza: I love this typewriter.

Roy: Why can't we just use quills or pens? These damn keys are making my digits cramp.

Ed: Well you better tally-ho it to the future, bitch!

Ed: 1600s called, they want their ink bottles back!

Ed: Hmm, what's a word for primitive and useless?

Fuery: Vintage?

Havoc: Antiquated?

Breda: Defunct?

Falman: Obsolete?

Ed: Perfect. But you forgot "Roy Mustang."
