Yeah lots of us are in to deep, but idk what us liking him as to do with anything

Older gen z here too, born in ‘99, and while I haven’t noticed the analogue thing, I’ve 100% noticed tech illiteracy in general.

Like, I’m talking about having a downloads folder full of junk because they don’t know that that’s where downloads end up. Installers left untouched after programs are installed because they’re worried that deleting the installer will delete the installed program.

Imo being raised with closed ecosystems like iPhones really stunted tech literacy for a lot of people. I grew up jailbreaking my phones and used my parent’s windows pc, so I kind of escaped it.

I’m 50% shiny metal!

Exactly this. If you want ai to exclusively be controlled by massive companies like Meta and Google, this is how you do it. They’ll be the only ones that can afford to pay for public copywritten content.

His hair looks like Reverend Putty’s

Sorry

This sort of thing happens all the time, good intentions getting twisted over time.

Iirc the reason you’re not allowed to depict Muhammad, for example, was because Muhammad didn’t want pictures of to be used to worship him. He didn’t want to be deified basically.

Cut to today and his followers will literally kill anyone that even tries, even those outside of the religion, due to their worship of Muhammad, something that he clearly never would have wanted. It literally goes against the reason he had the rule in the first place.

Wasn’t this just shut down…?

Woman are you kidding me I don’t know what to do with my life

Is that a threat or a promise?

Caw!!!

I’m confused, are you talking about literal depression or just feeling generally sad/down?

I’m diagnosed with depression, have been since I was a teenager, but I don’t know many others that are.

Make your dreams a reality! If you try hard enough even you can write prompts

Genuinely wondering, but I’m in a completely blue state. What’s the point of voting for the presidency where I live?

Obviously if I were in a swing state or red state I’d vote though, to be clear.

That fruity little club scrambled his brains

UwU

Basically just focus on staying present and not letting yourself get carried away by your internal monologue. It’s infinitely harder than it sounds. You can close your eyes, focus on a specific spot in a room, focus on your breathing, anything to keep yourself present and focused. Keep your mind empty as best you can.

The best advice I ever got was, when you have an intrusive thought during meditation, to acknowledge it, and let it fade away. Don’t focus on it or criticize yourself for it, as that will usually only make it harder to refocus yourself.

Meditation is super helpful for a lot of reasons, but for me personally it helped a lot with negative thinking and mental traps (like catastrophizing and stuff). It helps you to be more aware of when you’re getting carried away by thoughts, and how to push them aside and be present.

Look into mindfulness if you’re interested, it’s helped me a lot.

I’m turning 25 in 5 days and have only mastered the crying part, am I a failure?

Idk how many people are viewing this as normal, I think most of us recognize all of this as being incredibly weird and creepy.

Fuck spez
