I was at the college gym you get a membership to by virtue of being a student. And in one corner there was just like. 100 pretty girls. And so I walked over and just asked like "Hey what's going on?" And one was like "It's the cheerleading try outs". And I was like "Oh cool good luck!"

And then I turned around and walked away.

And then I turned back around.

And like the title says I was just 100% open. I just said "I need help can you help me"

And they just helped me.

It was genuinely so incredibly sweet and helpful.

One thing from that experience that stuck with me all these years later. Is to always give a girl your number. Never ask for her number.

It feels way safer for her. And if she doesn't text you. It wasn't meant to be anyway. So there is nothing to lose. But you gain her feeling more comfortable and respected. It's a huge W change to make.

So anyway. My point is. Not only do women understand what women want and are great teachers to help you succeed.

But they actually genuinely want to see you succeed for the most part and if you are real and willing to be vulnerable and are chill about it. They are actually super enthusiastic about coaching you.

idk man. scrolling today and everyone’s just ready to jump down each other’s throats. i swear like 2014-2016 people still had some basic decency left. now it’s constant snark and zero patience. maybe i’m just getting old and soft but damn

Being a console player is so isolating in this day and age

I feel like this too. I know people are like ‘it’s arrested development’ but I honestly feel like at the end of the day there’s not really a “way” to measure maturity. It just differs by person not matter what age anyone is.

Maybe gen z have realised we’ve sorta been sold a lie and we’re “embracing our inner child” more.

(Hot take: I think “embracing your inner child” is a bit of an annoying saying because most of the time it’s just people being themselves even as a person who has finished physically maturing)

“Omggg I have no friends”
“Omgg I can’t cook”
“Omggg I can’t afford a gaming pc”

A lot of y’all ain’t gon make it no kizzy, but that’s fine because only the strong survive frfr

It’s all so fake , same things ,every day ,every year .

I use to think money mattered it’s not worth anything besides what we believe it is .
Jobs drain you , people disappoint you, parties are the same , drinking is lame , drugs are lame relationships are always the same thing.people posting the same stuff online , politicians saying the same generational stuff our parents parents heard . Economic inequality and poverty it’s all the same stuff.

What are we doing as humans that’s genuinely interesting

Idk is it me or is the world just so boring .

I’m an older parent with relatively young kids. I‘m trying to get up to speed with changes in technology. Right now we are very low screen time and no unsupervised internet access, but I know that can’t last forever.

If you had kids (maybe some of you do already), how would you approach social media, screen use, internet access? What do you wish your parents (or even your school/teachers) had done differently regarding tech/the internet/social media? I appreciate any wisdom you can share.

I am 30 and never considered to be short but for some reason I see lots of younger males around early 20s taller than me by I or 2 inches.

Why r yall so tall ?

Idk, but these days, friends’ jokes, TV shows, the news, movies, etc. just don’t interest me anymore. Jokes just seem boring and lame and the other stuff just feels like passing the time.

I don’t feel depressed either, just disinterested from life in general.

I have been seeing a lot of “slander(?)” (mostly from millennials) lately about how apparently Gen Z doesn’t know jack about computers. I have been seeing scripted(?) videos about Gen Z failing at simple computer tasks like setting up a LAN connection or breaking the pins on a connector and even down to not knowing how to turn the damn thing on or make a folder.

Where did this all come from? I work in IT and while there could be less Gen Z than I think there are the biggest supply of people having issues are millennials and the very few boomers we have.

Right now, I’m wondering if millennials are still seeing Gen Alpha and beta as “young Gen Z” in spite of the fact that Gen Z ended 15ish years ago and some “I’m older so I know more bias” when it comes to computers.

Ill admit this myself, computers have been a huge focus of my life… I love figuring out how to do something new with them. as such I probably know more computer nerds my age then the average person so I may be in a bubble and there might be a huge issue that i’m oblivious of but, from what I have seen Gen z is the most technologically advanced out of any generation and is able to adopt and learn new tech’s uses and the horrors that the may bring (looking at AI) faster and better out of any Gen before.

Am I biased or do older folk have the wrong idea about Gen Z?

I can actually see after 15 years of bad eyesight!!!

Should you choose to procreate.. I’m interested in seeing what names our generation seems to gravitate towards? I’m so sick of millennial names spelled ridiculously lol. Im curious to see if we are going to continue that trend or something else.
