These are the keyboard revolutionaries that will take up arms against the regime LMAO 🀣

These people can't even interact with any other without going ballistic and pretend they can run a revolution when they can't even run an errand to the store

My pet peeve it "psychologist say".

First of all, no, we don't say any of that. Second, who are these magic ethereal psychologist. Because, unless you quote a peer reviewed paper, your argument is void. And even then you could be, as is often the case, grossly misinterpreting or misrepresenting the field.

Actually theres been a lot of research into why youre wrong, and yes its psychological.

wtf kinda world do these psychos wanna live in ? only text don't talk. no calls only video conference. no music just music videos or vidvoks(letterkenny ftw) It's about out of hand , git off my lawn!

The text instead of talk is pretty situational from what I see. Young people still will gleeflully hang with open mic on discord with their friends. One on one phone calls are certainly more rare, but I know my kid spends more time talking on discord than I ever spent talking on the phone growing up (sharing the house phone). I don't know if anyone is particularly excited about video conferences, certainly in my adult life video-capable meetings are the order of the day, but the cameras are generally off. It's way more convenient than the meeting calls of old.

From what I've seen while they are playing 'music videos', it's frequently just in the background and they aren't watching it, it's just a convenient way of getting the audio since youtube has it all and is the most convenient interface. There were more radio stations than MTV/VH-1, so it wasn't as convenient to just let MTV/VH1 be your audio back then as it is for youtube to be your music.

Texting vs talking has some situational context. E.g. if you're somewhere public, talking on the phone is often frowned upon, but you may text quietly. In a car it's reversed.

But a lot of us old folks do want people to sit down and shut up. It likely also plays into impressions of foreignersβ€”a lot of immigrants are probably doing something they consider normal by talking on the phone on the bus, while everyone around them thinks they're being incredibly rude.

Calls and meetings can often be an email, too. Better to not disrupt others if you can avoid it.

this just terminally online brain rot

Everytime I see videos like that, I have to remember the promise I made to myself not to become like my father.
It gets harder every year.

i find it helps me to view other people explicitly as separate entities with free will.

Makes it harder to do any sort of funny business when you're more aware of their autonomy on a fundamental level.

Sounds like something a figment of the imagination of the only person in the universe would say

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

you got me on that one, i am in fact not a real person, i am merely an ethereal being who resides in this weird place known as the internet.

Most people aren't very privy to it yet though.

I often think of the phrase β€œwe judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intent,” usually while driving, and try to just let people live their life and their story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

i'm very fundamentally apathetic, so i just find it really hard to care about anything, i've also been practicing a sort of "focusing on the things that really matter in life" way of living, which helps with that a lot.

There are ALWAYS things to worry about less.

That's not true! That's impossible!
