I volunteer at my local library and, after finishing, I wanted to get some DVDs out because I have a DVD player at home and I was already there so it's easier to just rent the films than try to find them online.
So I go and take them out, and the guy who works there goes 'why are you bothering with those when you can just find them online?'.
My guy.
Your whole job. WHOLE. JOB. Survives because people want physical copies of things. What do you mean 'why are you bothering'??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
#i mean i get what he means#but it still makes me sad#also the irony of an old guy saying this to me#a gen-z#physical media#books#dvds#dvd#library#libraries

This may be a moment of weakness, but I'm starting to have more sympathy with female separatists.
"Women are people and deserve the same rights as you" didn't work. The first generation of men to see first-hand that equal rights means they won't get a wife/mommy/slave went hard right.
50% of marriages end in divorce. 70% of divorces are initiated by women. For every 2 divorced men who want to remarry, there's only 1 divorced woman who wants to remarry. 1/3 of men 18 - 24 haven't had sex in the last year.
Men are better off with you barefoot and pregnant. And they know it.
The incentives and opportunities for men to enslave women are just too strong. I don't know what to do about this.
#I have no idea what this means in practice#I'm fully prepared to eat my words#feminism#female separatism#this isn't about trans women#also being a “traditional” wife doesn't preclude working#but a society where women can't earn more than $40k is better for men#men would rather not have double the competition for every half-way prestigious job#also they're hornier. also they're stronger. also they have less empathy (maybe. it's complicated)#maybe things will look different in another generation. who knows?#for future context this was posted the morning of kamala harris' defeat#I'm so distraught. I don't know what to do#the argument against what I'm saying is that feminism just doesn't impact normal people's politics#but I don't really believe that#the political gap between gen z men and women is enormous#maybe boys are just afraid of cancel culture?#that may be a factor#but I think it's about slave mommies or employment

things the US needs to address:
the collective psychosis that leads people to make posts like these
#in case it's unclear what i mean:#1.) blaming gen z men or any of the listed grifters is useless idpol#2.) half of your country did not 'vote against [your] collective best interests' lmao#if you truly believe that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the position your country occupies in the global economy#and the benefits conferred onto its citizens for supporting the imperial world order#3.) i feel like OP kept this point purposefully vague (ofc social media has on effect on the common good. what effect specifically?)#but i'll still respond by saying#social media has helped immensely in exposing how often traditional news outlets lie retract revise and outright fabricate information#the more aligned with bourgeois interests they are the worse it is#the past year of western media's reporting on the genocide in palestine has done nothing if not highlight the incongruence#between what people see n share on the ground and what narratives corporate interests deem fit to disseminate through traditional channels#the importance of following independent (which does not equal 'unbiased') journalists has never been greater#4.) 'lazy minds and lack of empathy' empathy is not some bulwark against fascism. it can actually serve to further it quite easily#idk what OP is trying to get at here. lazy point = lazy response#5.) i can't say anything here that isn't summed up better by that tweet that's like#'american *sees something american happening americanly in america*: what are we a bunch of ASIANS?!?!???'#cause there's just nooo way politicians and public figures in the US could spew reactionary nonsense and get a huge following#unless the evil russians had a hand in it#cause it's not like the US is racism central or anything#come on now#(for those unaware i'm citing this tweet bc orientalism of this kind has historically been directed at russians/slavs in addition to#people from MENA and asian countries broadly)#6.) see point number 3 above; trying to police AI is a fruitless endeavor; people need media literacy in order to#understand the interests of the parties involved in the coverage of any event and better discern the truth about what's happening;#identifying the bias inherent to any news channel and then examining how that bias impacts its reporting does far more to help dispel#misinformation than just labeling anything you don't like or you think influences people the 'wrong' way as misinformation#anyway i'm done. clown.#sansgwilie

You will hear me ironically say “skibidi toilet rizz” but you will never hear me say “hawk tuah” or “demure”
#I cant tell you how much I HATE those words#ok honestly I don’t say gen z brainrot slang often#especially over text#I think this is my first time saying skibidi over text#but yeah Hawk tuah and demure make me so mad bruh I can’t even explain it#what the heck does demure even mean?????#smiles rants

Just remembered the time my coworker at a pizzeria got called lazy for sitting during his shift by three boomers in a row and got so pissed he rolled his wheelchair around the desk and told the last lady to catch before throwing himself out of his wheelchair.

this is going to be a hot take but the worst managers ive had have all been millennials. like don't get me wrong, gen x and boomer managers can also be wild. but the most notably terrible managers? millennials. lmao
#idk what it is exactly but#the like. corporate sweetheart ism of millennial managers#like do yall know what i mean when i say that#theyre all like deeply unhappy but also kissing company boots yk#like 'hahaha i hate it here! BUT I NEED EVERYONE TO LOVE ME AND ALSO I WILL MAKE YOU HATE YOUR JOB TOO BC I HATE MY JOB' type vibe yk????#boomer managers ive had like. there is a DIVIDE FOR SURE but they arent like assholes lol#gen x managers also a divide but they just dont give a fuck and i can respect that#millennial managers? care about Every Single Thing in a bad way#anyways lmao i bring this up bc rn i have a like. Boomer Manager#and he is. so funny. in a like. bro. what the fuck sorta way LOL#but he means well and he really is kind just. no i will not be picking up your phone call at 7am on a saturday god bless though#and then at my other job there is a millennial manager. not of me thank god. but he is insufferable and it's like bro. Chill#god now im reminiscing about the worst managers ive had in a like LOL I SURVIVED THAT#choosing the Worst is hard bc like. 1 of them did try to blackmail me#but somehow? not the craziest i dont think#ill take old boomer managers who deeply misunderstand gen z in the workplace ANY DAY over millennial managers lmao#also okay i should. to be fair. also say that the best managers ive had have also been millennials LOL so yeah i guess it can be either end#but man when theyre bad theyre BAD

*looking at the Hazbin Hotel discourse online over the past few days*
the claims of skyrocketing media illiteracy have never been clearer to me
#like cmon guys#everyones entitled to their opinion#but just let people enjoy the show#don't hate watch#that's weird my guy#if it really isn't for you#if its not for you that's fine#good even#media is supposed to introduce us to new things#simply don't watch#and the AMOUNT of people who take things out of context#omd#the amount of takes I've seen on all my social media platforms this past weekend#sometimes I think it must be clickbait#and then#I come to the horrible realisation that no#no#they really mean what they're saying#like guys#we're gen z#we're not boomers#not millenials#not gen alpa#we're supposed to be competent with tech#where has the competency gone#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel controversial#hazbin hotel controversy

I'm going to be real. I'm not keeping up with gen alpha slang.
#i thought i was doing okay with gen z but then people were talking about gen alpha as actual people#and the language is incomprehensible and im too tired to learn what it means#my brother does not say skibidi so idc

admin knows what's up
#wha t di d i say about brunettes#[i know it's an illusion of the slick back that the highlights are less prominent but it's a w for me]#i'm also convinced she is rooming with murphy bc the slick back bun is such a gen z thing to do#and even tho she's 92 i feel like she is a deeper millennial than that#of course at 16 she went to live with much deeper millennials so#it's like the if you're on the cusp and you have an older sibling you lean towards that#but if you have a younger sibling you lean towards that#i say that myself as a cusper#who knows maybe there was no influence#i mean she knew about the what's up brother thing and i am the most terminally online person i know and that was news to me

I knitted a lot today while listening to the heart of darkness audiobook. but this means I have not had a lot of leisure time and time alone... time to p3r
#heart of darkness... sorry to say it but kinda mid#it commits one of the cardinal sins imo that a book can commit:#nothing fucking happens like nothing happens. it's mostly vibes based.#giovanni's room was like this too it's so annoying#maybe I'm too gen z adhd low attention span pilled but like. NOTHING. HAPPENS.#and I mean beside the frame story that serves as the conceit of it#i.e. nothing's happening and the characters are just sitting listening to this guy reminisce#I mean even beyond that. tell me what happens. he goes to africa. he keeps meeting these colonial officers and secretaries and whatever#he finds out his boat got fucked up. he spends like half a chapter working on fixing his boat and complaining that there's no parts for it#he takes the boat to find the guy. he finds the guy. guy tries to escape off the boat. he drags him back. you think something interesting#might happen because he's like oh I might just kill this fucker. HE DOESN'T. he takes the guy back on the boat. Oh before that he meets the#guy that's weirdly obsessed with this other guy. and also the boat gets shot at with arrows. guy dies on the boat and leaves main character#his shit. main character doesn't give his shit away to people who hate him. main character goes to visit the guy's love interest#lies to her about guy's last words. that's it.#LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS#mid book#but I read it and I will slay at the seminar because I'm convinced very few if any of my colleagues will have read it

after a week at a proper university for the first time in literal years, i am once again reminded that learning is fun but the other students can be Annoying
#personal#it's not their fault they're just gen z students living in washington#it's bound to be a nightmare to anyone who has spent time in the real world#also in general the people i've interacted with most have been older than me these last few years#cuz nobody's hiring college students on campaigns#i'm the exception to the rule because i'm apparently incredibly good at what i do#this unforch means tho that my exposure when it comes to in person contact has been actual grown up and not hippie dippie teenagers#and sometimes the hippie dippie teenagers say Things#that kid asking 'why are we condoning this' about greek mythology incest really did a number on my brain was dealt psychic damage

I think we need more stories like Wizard of Oz where a young person wants to run away and gets transported to a magical place but then realizes how great home actually was. A lot of young people more than ever are calling their families abusive and toxic for minor disagreements, and really ageism is one of the deadliest bigotries. It stops you from learning from and appreciating your elders and I think a lot of gen Z will regret this when they're older.
#yes this post was inspired by reservation dogs#i know some people come from genuinely abusive house holds but so many kids think their parents are abusers for normal disagreements.#and discount what their elders say because “lol old”#there's a reason they took children away from their parents and grandparents as a way of disenfranchising indigenous people#cutting away your roots is dangerous and friends are great but many of you would throw away your loving families for a “queer found family”#and want to be raised by a 23 year old man with a dark past#and I feel like so many groomers are going to use this to isolate vulnerable lgbt kids bcuz “found families are apart of queer culture”#which is true since a lot of us were kicked out of our families but I see a lot of gen z kids feeling like they missed out on some queer#experience and like no having your support system be other fucked up people all around your age is Not Ideal and you shouldn't run away wit#stranger you meet online because mommy doesn't understand what pangender means#tldr: found families irl are for people with no other options#appreciate your own family imperfect as they may be.

My roommate excitedly told me she lost her virginity and I couldn't think of anything to say so I panicked and just said "That's rough buddy"
