She goes to a different school.

Both millenials and boomers get hate for being terrible parents and workaholics, and the hate gen z is currently getting for having no work ethic sounds very similar to the hate gen X got back when they were in their 20s for being supposedly lazy and stupid becuase of MTV.

Millennials were definitely called entitled and lazy.

Boomer is honestly just used as a generic term for older people who are out of touch in one way or another. Millennial was a generic term for young people the speaker didn’t like, but it’s finally been replaced by zoomer which is more age appropriate, but it took a long time. It’s not that people are ignoring Gen X, it’s that most of the time when people use the term they just mean older/younger people in general.

TLDR, Gen X is probably lumped in with the term “boomer” (obviously the context matters, but this is the TLDR).

Yeah. I used the BFF version for a bit to try and find folks in my area to hang out with. It’s a really horrible app. When someone messages you, you have 24 hours to respond. If you don’t then the two of you get unmatched. I can understand something like unlatching after some time period without responding, but just 24 hours? Ick.

It’s not even a “loophole” it’s literally irrelevant to what people generally think of as “data privacy.” Something like GDPR is an example of data privacy.

Something like GDPR would be the sane, non-strawman take.

just look at the number of pro TikTok memes being shared right now, there’s something fishy happening.

If by “fishy” you mean “the ban is going into effect so people are expressing frustration”, sure.

Data privacy is so much more than “selling data to China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.” What a weak rebuttal.

The hive is (or at least was) a bit split. Many users seem to hate TikTok because they just dislike it for whatever reason (e.g., addictive short form videos), but others view this as a fascist move by the US or anti-China.

If your Prime has ads, you might see an ad for Prime and you could use Prime to order Prime because of an ad on Prime.

I started feeling like an adult when I was 28.

Some people define social media as platforms where you use your real identity as your name like Facebook and MySpace.

Zero. I think one lives near me based on some posts they made (as in near the same major city, could still be hours away). Another mentioned going to the same convention I go to every year but it’s a massive convention that brings in people from all over the world. The two friends I have that used RIF is fun for Reddit back in the day switched to the official app instead of trying alternatives.

You clearly haven’t tried Instagram Reels then

I was knee deep in a plot to get one of my children on the throne of France in CK3 when I stopped playing. I was doing something like setting up a matrilineal marriage with the very old king’s grandson of his second born son while plotting to murder the firstborn son. The king’s firstborn son managed to pop out an heir which I had to murder as well. What was funny was how om board all of the baby king’s court was with murdering him. Basically everyone joined in lol.

I still think about that person who got banned from league for their name being Corona1488 and their last name was Corona and they were born on Jan 4th, 1988. I’m surprised they went so long without learning the connotations.

Oh my goodness, YES!

The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.

“We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator,” he told The Register.

I saw Pixelfed mentioned on TikTok. So yeah!

Yeah, I’ve been saying we should make crypto mining space heaters. I don’t think there’s much of a market for it, but it’s an interesting thought. Worst case, it would be an amazing gag gift.

Or, if you believe all crypto is immoral (arguably fair), then make a space heater that runs something like folding at home.
