Check out Garbage Time. It’s a channel about an Aussie and his mechanic buddy repairing old, shitty cars. Many of the cars are Australian specific too.

My experience in IT is that most of gen z doesn’t care about understanding anything on the Internet outside of social media

Yea, I’ve found this frustrating as the “tech guy”

They seem to be completely content with consuming media but even most of the big game streamers are millennials it seems like.

Every generation is like this. Typically, the media of a generation is made by older generations. Much of Boomers music was made by the silent generation. Most of the Millennial pop culture was made by Gen-X and Boomers. I would argue that millennials and gen-z are set apart by how to prevent their own generation is in their own pop culture.

I’m Gen-Z, my parents are older Millennials

Millennials use the Internet but they don’t get it like Gen-Z does. Most of my peers seem to have a much better understanding of online culture than most millennials do. They use much more irony in both online and irl conversations.

One thing I noticed was that millennials have weebs, but Gen-Z doesn’t. It’s not something special for Zoomers to watch anime or be interested in Japanese media/culture. Almost all of my peers watch anime or consume some other Japanese media frequently. My parents didn’t watch anime until my sister got them to.

Gen-Z is more individualist in less of a “the only person that matters is me” sort of way and more of a “you can’t count on anyone, especially the government to help you” sort of way. You can see this through Gen-Zs political engagement. Most of my peers are differently engaged that millennials. Most people my age don’t affiliate with a specific party, but rather by an ideology.

Also, Gen-Z is much more depressed

Ah, but 1 and 2 could be done with the Land Value Tax

Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that…

But, isn’t that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I’m not being facetious, genuinely curious.

I like Will Wood, his stuff has been described as “evil jazz”, but it ranges from calm and soothing singer-songwriter type stuff to a full upbeat jazz band with chaotic composition and arrangement. I find his lyrics insightful, but they are also often quite abstract.

Cute girls doing cute things have some nice tracks, but many of them feel a bit the same-y.

The Vienna Clarinet Collection has great covers of classic clarinet songs, but classical and jazz.

I couldn’t choose one, so here are a few jazz bands I like: Francis Coppieters, Loftys Comet, T-Square, Micheal Lowerstern, Archie Shepp, Sons of Kemet, and Mansur Brown

If it works, sell or donate it. If it doesn’t work, you can see if it is worth repairing. If it’s not, recycle it. You can check on your municipality’s website on their waste management page to see if they recycle electronics.

If you do sell, donate, or recycle, make sure there is no data on the drives that you would miss, then wipe it. If you plan on recycling, you can take out the drive and destroy it. Magnets and paper shredders are helpful.

Are ya a smart fella, of a fart smella?

Disable/delete YouTube in your settings and go to settings - apps - default apps - opening links, press on the newpipe app and enable opening links, you may have to add supported links manually

This talking point doesn’t make sense to me because feminine and masculine voices sound different, so it would make sense that some aspects maybe annoying one a feminine voice and not a masculine voice, and vice versa. Also, I don’t think that some of the source of annoyance comes from the voice itself, but it’s cultural association. The reason why it is so annoying to me is because I associate it with vanity and celebrity worship (probably because of the Kardashians, couldn’t tell you which one as I try to avoid them at all costs).

I’m currently taking a class about this (kinda). The current system, which is, in the states, neoliberal capitalism (redundancy for clarity) encourages people to act immorally, or more accurately under a set of morals that justifies those actions. A different system can encourage a different set of actions to get success, and a different set of morals to justify those actions. This is a large part of politics. The other part is praxis, or getting that in place. I’m not going to share the set of theory I believe in, but rather common ways people try to impose their desired version of society.

One way is through the current system, even if you want to completely change it. This is what the class I am talking about. You identify who has power, why they act the way they do, and how you can get them to enact your policies, or at least gain power yourself. This method falls under a lot of criticism, as it stands to reason that a system built by those in power cannot overthrow them. You can’t use the master’s tools against him.

The other way is revolution, but that has its own problems. It is hard to convince people to completely change everything, and when it does happen, it often happens in the best way possible for those who have power. It also isn’t any more moral than the other options, but that is the nature of changing an immoral system. Welcome to politics.

Disclaimer: I’m by no means an expert, as I am just getting into political theory, both in my own studies and formal education.

I’m as oblivious as a brick, but people around me say I’m intelligent, and I get good grades in school, so I must be good at pretending to be smart at least. I can’t say if I am actually intelligent in any way. It is kind of hard to tell without being someone’s too, if that makes sense.

Even in cities cars are the best way to get around in many American cities. This is because we built (bulldozed) our cities to be that way and neglect transit. Also, most people currently live in cities 🤓
