  Yeah, the other day I was consulting with another therapist, and I was telling her how in EMDR therapy I often say “don’t give me the whole article, just the headline” when I want to explain to the client to avoid talking too much during EMDR. she works with teens, and she went “yeah, that will not fly with my clients.”

  We came up with “don’t give me the long-form video, just give me the TikTok” as we both felt we were inching closer to the grave, lol.

    “Give me the clip, not the VOD.” How do you do, fellow kids?

    Damn…

    I’m Gen Z and I feel like I’d still understand the article analogy, but when I think about my gen-alpha cousins maybe they would need the TikTok analogy…

    “Give me the Reader’s Digest condensed version.”

    “How does what a reader eats have anything to do with this? and why would we need a condensed version of that diet description?”

    oh god, I’m old.

    I just say “I don’t need your whole life story” but that is kinda rude and wouldn’t work well with clients lol

  Primary school age children are horrible at guessing age. One time when I was 16 a group of 6 year olds estimated I was 40. And I don’t look old, a few weeks ago, I got carded buying beer, which is 16+. I’m 27.

  About a decade ago my employer had an intern present their findings from analyzing some survey data. One of the findings was this:

  “People who answer surveys are really old. Like really old. Like thirty.”

  Are you under the impression that newspapers are still in fashion? Feel like they’re kind of right on that one.
