"We are the first to do this." -every young cohort going back through time

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.

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."

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.

The fun thing is that none of this stuff is going to survive long-term at all. Databases are backed up onto forms of media that have a very short lifespan. Only material that is endlessly copied forward (like DNA) will still be around, and nobody is going to pay for that kind of archiving, at least not for the generally trivial bullshit that comprises social media. FWIW this fact make me happy.

Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?

Holy hell, the last movie was released in 2011.

I remember how much anticipation and agony people were complaining about waiting for it, that it couldn't come soon enough.

I recently picked up a new game: RoboCop: rogue city..... It hits all of the nostalgia about the original movie so far. Marching through an office building blowing off people's hands and ripping machine guns off turrets and mowing down rooms full of enemies in all the gory, bloody detail..... It gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings.

The sound track is on point too.

Hard to believe it's source material is from 1987. The game almost looks as good as the movie did. It's not as polished as big name titles. People will talk and their mouth won't move, some of the idle animations for NPCs is very repetitive and robotic.... But the visuals... MMM. If you liked the original, and want to partake in some thug killing mayhem as Murphey himself, I'd recommend it.

Woah, 2007ers are 18 now. 👴

The fact that 'influencer' is a legitimate job title is proof that humanity is doomed.

This.
The TV stations around me are desperate to attract the young viewers, so they always have influencers as guests on their shows and what not, and I simply do not get it.

Today's guest: Billy Bobberson.
What's he famous for? Oh he posts some selfies on Instagram daily and every other post is a sponsored brand promo.
Why the fuck do people even follow influencers like this???

“I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies.”

which has always been true

I just aged 40 years

'The fuck" is now "what the sigma" at least that's what I gathered from lurking on shitposting communities

Edit: and I'm deeply afraid of using it around people who don't know what that means. And also around people who do know what it means.

Start speaking in Greek to them. Asspro means white.

He's a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.
