Who gone and dunnit, dang

Explain like I’m an American with no access to unbiased information or anything but propaganda and lies and misinformation and disinformation

I went through a degoogling phase a few years ago. I got really into it. But there is just so much constant device tinkering and tweaking that it can be a mental drain and time sink. Then you have to wonder how much good you’re doing in the first place. I just have to assume they’re getting my data somehow. I switched back, thinking it’s best not to stick out, and rather just try to blend in with the majority instead of looking like a suspicious person up to something when I all I really care about is privacy. I just don’t know what to do about this anymore.

Hello? Hello friend?

I hate everyone equally

They aren’t super nice houses or anything. They’re just small brick homes, maybe 1,200 Sq ft. They’re what used to be considered starter homes, and now they’re probably worth around 140k. The problem is there are no job opportunities in a small rural town other than fast food and grocery stores. No young person can afford to buy these old “starter homes” when they make $12-14 an hour. It would be irresponsible even for a 2 income household to finance something like these houses, and they are the cheapest in town.

New developments are going up because the older generations sell off their family land for insane prices. The new houses go for 350k. It’s killing small towns because the young people leave. I don’t know what the answer is, but I daydream about living simply in small villages and truly having a life vs whatever the fuck this is.

I live with my grandparents. My 80 year old grandmother who never had to work offers me daily career advice. They bought many 3 bedroom brick homes in the late 80’s for 15k and now rent them out for close to 1k per month. I love them dearly, but they’ve contributed to holding back an entire generation from homeownership. They got to enjoy life on easy mode and now wonder why I can’t get my shit together. They wonder why I’m not buying a 350k house on a $15 an hour income, or getting married and starting a family.

Because you took everything and won’t give it up. Because you used all the easy to reach resources. Because you fucked up pensions and healthcare and education and housing and every other facet of society and now don’t care that I’m living in the shitstorm you created. Fucking hell.

Propaganda. An abysmal education system. Failing social structures. Corrupt media. Networks of the wealthy using their influence to push society in the direction they desire.

I sure want to pay too much money for an unreliable potential fireball built by exhausted workers for a rich puppet that’s been portrayed as a genius by a controlled main stream media owned by corporations and governments that use said puppet to build and fund tech used by the military to murder strangers around the world.

Wot

affordable housing, healthcare, and education might help. can we get some of that?

Tump 4 pesident!

Hey hey hey! Let’s not bring racism into our ageism! But for real, 80 year olds do not represent me and my pals. They’re just there to preserve the status quo. Fuck em.

I wasn’t trying to do anything, it just happened.

Maybe they’re more likely to take online polls. Were the participants invited to take the poll, or just posted somewhere and left up for people to discover and take if so inclined? I don’t care about these results, just pointing out that usually these things aren’t terribly reliable. Maybe this poll of some 6,000 perfectly represents Gen Z. I have no idea.

Is there an agenda to push, or is it less of a stigma and a sign of progress? Are the chemical products in our environment changing our hormones, or are young impressionable people following a trend? Will this trend continue, and what is the desired peak since this is apparently something to celebrate. Would we be celebrating if biologists determined that homosexuality has increased 64% among giraffes, or would it just be considered data to be viewed with no bias? Are mushrooms really safe to microdose, and what is the recommended dose SWIM should be taking?

I flew in third grade during recess just east of the swings while I was chasing a leaf. Only flew about 3 feet off the ground for maybe 10-12 feet and glided back down.

I wish it wasn’t so necessary to own a vehicle in most US cities and towns. We shouldn’t be living this way.

Am I using this place incorrectly, or is it just kind of dead? There doesn’t seem to be much activity, or else maybe I don’t know where to look yet. I really wanted it to replace reddit.

Yep, and there’s only a tiny spec of land left and it’s full of wealthy people that don’t want us to reach it
