Not gonna go out on this limb on a 25k post, but maybe it’s okay that kids today don’t know as much about using an actual computer as we do/did? Is it useful knowledge? Of course it is. So is using a sewing machine or being able to rebuild your VW with a copy of that one book every VW driver used to have. That’s not the right question—most practical knowledge is useful after all. The question should be “is it relevant to the way people live right now.” “How to Keep Your VW Alive” is a timeless fucking classic; my ex and I kept our copy long after he sold his VW. But I’m not buying a copy now because it won’t exactly help me keep my VW ID4 on the road.
And it’s funny, because I tend to read along with those posts and nod my head, because back in my day we HAD to know all that computer stuff. And then for some reason today, I remembered a conversation my mom and I had with my grandma in the mid 70s when I was a teenager. Grandma made my mom’s wedding dress. She worked at a department store doing alterations on foundation wear, which if you look at 1950s foundation wear, you’ll realize was both necessary and difficult. So she was shocked when I said most of my friends didn’t know their way around a sewing machine. “But how do you make sure your clothes fit?!” Well, Grandma, people don’t wear heavy foundation wear any more and clothes don’t need to be as tailored as they did back in the day—it’s 1975 and the only alterations I need to do is hemming my flares so they just touch the floor when I’m wearing platforms.
Now you can back up and look at the broader picture, the one that says, but your car should be repairable by you as long as you have clear instructions, and you should be able to alter your clothes or make your own, and yes, you should know how to organize the files on the desktop of your laptop. But the fact that for the most part it’s become easier and easier to just not do those things (if they can be done at all) isn’t exactly the fault of Kids Today. And it’s certainly not meeting them where they are or even trying to understand why they feel they don’t need that knowledge if, instead of looking at why they don’t have it and maybe even don’t need it, you just decry their lack of the Deep Wisdom.

I've used tumblr since 2011. I deactivated my first account a few months after joining, because I reblogged one of those fearmongering "omg staff are deleting inactive blogs share this so you don't get deleted!!!1" posts and a mutual reblogged it from me laughing about what an obvious bait it was. so I got embarrassed and deleted, immediately remade as keatulie, and pretended like nothing happened lol. then I used that from 2012-2019, had a couple other handles, before settling on this one.
for some reason, I totally ended up memoryholeing what that first account's name was. I was so used to being keatulie I could absolutely not think of what I'd first signed up with.
scrolling through one of the blogs that got me to join in the first place for old time's sake tonight, I happen to come across this ask, and get a very familiar memory of sending it.
vimeny. my damn name all this time was vimeny. it's literally the root of the url I have now.

hi! i just read your post about struggling with the manual car (which is completely reasonable lol)
i happen to be a person who can indeed drive a manual! (my dad is still teaching me so i am no expert but i have driven our car many times and watched my dad drive it since i was wayyy younger)
and you can completely ignore this ask but here's what i have learnt in my time driving!
a manual has three pedals: clutch, break, accelerate, in that order from left to right (where i am from, atleast)
there are six gears, 1 through 5 and reverse.
clutch breaks the engine from the wheelers so you can shift gears and stop the car without damaging the system and the other two are obviously, to stop the car and accelerate the car
to start, you need to turn the key while PRESSING CLUTCH and NEUTRAL GEAR so the car doesn't run off lmao
then you shift the gear to 1 and VERY SLOWLY release the clutch. if you do it too fast, the engine will turn off and you gotta start over (i struggled with this a lot lol)
the car will start out at a very slow speed and you can try driving and stopping the car
to stop, start pressing the clutch and SLOWLY pressing on the breaks. make sure that by the time the car has stopped, the clutch is floored. you can also floor the clutch then slowly apply breaks
when you have the hang of it, you can try gearing up and down
to gear up, maintain a speed of (gear number + 1) times 10 kmh. so to gear up from first to second you need a speed of 20 kmh
to shift gear, floor the clutch and use the stick to change gear and IMMEDIATELY release clutch, no need to release slowly here like you had to while starting up. same to gear down
and voíla! you now know how to, in theory, drive a manual! tada!
also, for the fic, just keep in mind that the speed of the car when someone else is driving and when you are driving is COMPLETELY different
my dad could easily drive in 4th gear where he takes me to train and i would feel nothing, but for me, 2nd gear is still pretty fast when i'm driving!
these are the basics of driving but the driving STYLE can vary vastly.
hope this helps ily!!
anon this was genuinely so helpful i am kissing you on the mouth

If one of the first things - or even ANY of the things - you have to say about someone dying due to the horrible negligence of the US healthcare system is "yeah but they were sketchy/yucky/Bad(TM)/etc." maybe you should shut the fuck up and actually think about how fucked up that is. Your morals are fucked if you hear about someone dying in a way that could have been avoided if America actually cared about its sick citizens and immediately go "Yeah but I didn't like them/they were creepy/they were at the Devil's Sacrament that one time". Get help. Get off the internet. Get off your fucking high horse

honesty accidentally saying off tumblr (and social media in general) for a week has been so chill. it feels like my mental health has improved (even tho i know it has not, actually), so i've decided to under no circumstances at all update my app and force me to experience tumblr in a much healthier way - through designated Computer Time (tm) on my laptop, which in contrast to my pone i do not bring with me at every occasion, lol

In October or November I drafted a short ficlet and then left it alone because I was working on the advent fic and then today I thought, wait, didn’t I have a draft of something I could probably just polish up and post? but I couldn’t find it?? It wasn’t in my gdocs or evernotes or emails or even scrivener WHERE THE HELL was it? Did I DREAM writing it?? What the hell, self??
I found it in my notes app when looking for something else (a recipe).
