  Yes - in fact they actually have no place in society, which is stressful, and grew up with teachers and parents always turning to them and going “oh by the way, the society you inherit from us isn’t going to work. Not sorry.” So they had the dread of knowing that, being informed they had to work harder and be smarter than generations before them.

  There is a LOT of antipathy from Zoomers and Millennials towards Boomers, and some of it is even directed to Gen X, and some Zoomers hate Millennials.

  When you get a job as gen z it’s always like “we’re doing you a favour, kid, we don’t really need you.” Other generations act like they’re babysitters for us. Many Gen Z rise to this position and act very immaturely because being obnoxious is in-vogue (e.g Looksmaxxing, Andrew Tate, tiktok bullying - it trickles down)

  I do not think it’s a sign of a society being healthy. It’s probably the most unhealthy thing for any society. I think it basically arises from the distinct lack of pathways into ‘adulthood’ - university is now marketed as a way to extend being a kid, home ownership and access to work is completely off the table for loads of people. Young Zoomers either live with their parents through university/after high school, or will have to live with them after graduating, or will have to “slum it” with their friends while desperately trying to get into work.

  To some people, knowing and experiencing all this means they act out by being immature and irresponsible members of society. For others it just affects their self image, and they are racked with insecurity or anxiety. Both are bad, and i see both when i look around st my peers. And the ones who are doing okay are absolute rats about it, like “i climbed out of the bucket, so why couldn’t you??”

  Based

  What the rule is saying there is that a 12 year old shouldn’t date, because that region of the graph is actually outside of the lower and upper bounds, which intercept (cross) at “14 years old” on the x axis

  Or you could interpret the UB and LB as having swapped, in which case 12’s LB is (-7, ×2) =10 years old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's friend gets exposed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  a graph showing that the upper and lower bound for acceptable dating age is set by “half your age plus seven”

  This is the rule. I honestly can’t really fault it, it just feels right for so many different ages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's friend gets exposed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  21-25 is the prime “people think they are in charge but lying to themselves” years and idk, easy to trick i suppose.

  Do you think if society was structured differently (i.e pre-adult education was actually deemed useful and allowed people to get job relevant skills) that age range would move down?

  The idea that 21-25 are easily tricked by older people rings true but I’m also thinking there’s a lot of things about current society that infantilises those people, or rather, gets them to actually immaturity and see themselves as immature

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's friend gets exposed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So true

  Plenty of idiots in Reddit approved relationships that cheat, abuse each other, are toxic, etc

  And so true.

  Some redditors for whatever reason also go on reddit just to try and get strangers to break up (r/relationshipadvice r/AITA)

  I seriously doubt his son would not care about gaming. I’d have to hope Gabe has raised his kids to be as non-greedy as he is. He is one of the most ethical billionaires - probably the most ethical billionaire - that I know of 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays DnD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anon plays DnD

  Cool, a meme I can send to my friend who started playing DnD this year!

  “… it’s like snakes are in my asshole trying to rip it apart!”

  … I can’t allow another human’s eyeballs to read this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both can be a problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like we’ll have to do a communism, i.e banding together to help each other out more, to allow people to retire in comfort. The horror!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't worried about population decline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates C++⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still need to learn this one but I have no time on top of uni course. I guess I’ll pick it up next July

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon was a cub scout⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That poor animal. Absolutely torturous way to go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about astronomy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many such cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a dungeon master⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I really like your interpretation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a dungeon master⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Completely based and fantasy pulled. This is like a metaphor for climate change

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to music⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shortly before kanye’s nazi controversy, Spotify was pushing him hard, lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets in a bad mood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest, the reason for my inane comment was because I skipped the bit of the greentext where OOP hits himself. ADHD, sorry. So I thought siethron was just randomly advocating that people start cutting themselves more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets in a bad mood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe it is possible to get frustrated with playing too many video games.

  Presumably this happened when anon was a kid, before we learn to rationalise why playing videogames non stop is unhealthy, attaching thoughts like “oh i need to do something productive”

  You could say he was just over-stimulated, like a cat getting pet too much. Make sense?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets in a bad mood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro what 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons Discuss Low IQ Insects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I see beat saber gameplay it looks like something I’d love and wouod be really engaging to play while also not over-the-top

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons Discuss Low IQ Insects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone i knew who was really academically excellent without any effort, he loves/loved rhythm games. I think people are drawn to games which fill a void of what they can get out of their own life, so someone who doesn’t play a musical instrument or sports for instance can get that from rhythm games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon steams up the sauna⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So I have to act like a woman when I’m in a sauna? Any advice??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon steams up the sauna⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  She probably noticed him OGLING HER based on the description he just gave

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the epidemic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s okay being down voted on lemmy is fair, unlike on reddit where it makes the app less useable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the epidemic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually a really fucking eye opening post, assuming they’re not lying. I personally never thought there was a “virginity epidemic” among my peers, lol.

  It seems like people have gotten less cliquey about virginity since then, so maybe it is a good lie?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the epidemic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To me, the Bubonic plague will always be “the epidemic”, but COVID can still be called the pandemic since it happened all over the world at the same time, which makes it more pandemic than the Bubonic Plague

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon reads nihilist philosophy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unironically, yes maybe. If it is seen as avoiding your responsibilities, and doesn’t contribute to some area of society (but rather sees-to the “worship” of you yourself) then it is hedonistic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon meets the candy man⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
