    A long long LOOOONG time ago I tried to screenshot a video in windows media player and the screenshot still changed when I moved or played the video. I often wonder if that was a fever dream or just some weird shit that was happening with really early tech. I remember being so mad because I just wanted a screenshot of a scene in the video and it wouldn’t work lol




  • What’s really wild is that the side effect of coming off of stuff like zyrtec is ITCHING. Once I got through the itchy “withdrawals” I hardly ever needed it anymore other than occasional bad reactions. Like, wtf? They really make it seem like it should be taken every day when it absolutely shouldn’t. Not to mention the weird weight gain it causes that they never seem to mention anywhere ever.

    Obviously everyone’s mileage may vary but it’s kinda creepy looking into antihistamines and some of their shenanigans that get swept under the rug.

    Not giving your kids access to the internet at all is insane. You’re setting them up for failure by not actively teaching them how to navigate the Internet and what bs to look out for. Anyone that does this is just trying to indoctrinate their kid and prevent them from being exposed to any other ideas. The ego on parents that think they know enough to entirely prepare their kids for the world is ridiculous. Especially these days. You’re just setting them up to be behind when they’re older and they’ll resent you while they struggle to catch up.


  • I dunno… A lot of the newer gens didn’t have to tinker with everything to get it to work so they’re less familiar with the ins and outs of stuff. Not to say they all are because it’s silly to generalize that many people but many of them grew up with this stuff. Just like how I couldn’t tell you how a TV works or fix one but I’ve built all my own pcs. That happened naturally because I had to learn it early on to have a computer. That being said they definitely seem to be developing a unique skill set for navigating the internet and social media as a whole. I’ve noticed they’re a lot less likely to trust a generic Google search or various articles online. I guess when you’re raised around bullshit you’re gonna end up more critical of it. This is mostly about gen z of course and maybe younger millennials. Gen alpha is feral and weird we should all be worried lmao

    Shhhh!!! My husband still doesn’t know it’s my fault he’s been getting manga ads and I can’t make fun of him for having anime boyfriends if he finds out. Even worse. He’ll be in a position to make fun of me AND he’ll get to be smug about it. This is my life hanging in the balance here 🥺
