Older gen z here too, born in ‘99, and while I haven’t noticed the analogue thing, I’ve 100% noticed tech illiteracy in general.

Like, I’m talking about having a downloads folder full of junk because they don’t know that that’s where downloads end up. Installers left untouched after programs are installed because they’re worried that deleting the installer will delete the installed program.

Imo being raised with closed ecosystems like iPhones really stunted tech literacy for a lot of people. I grew up jailbreaking my phones and used my parent’s windows pc, so I kind of escaped it.

Hanlon’s Razor is my favorite rule for this very reason, because I’m way too quick to do this.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

We’re werewolves not swearwolves!

Exactly this. If you want ai to exclusively be controlled by massive companies like Meta and Google, this is how you do it. They’ll be the only ones that can afford to pay for public copywritten content.

Whichever, people use either.

That’s why you dry after lol. And again, you simplifying it so much is telling on yourself. That’s no problem but know that if you stick with it you may end up having a better experience.

Unironically, positioning, pressure, and time. It took me a while to be fine with the pressure needed to actually clean anything, let alone letting it stay on long enough to thoroughly clean. Plus you gotta angle yourself so everything gets clean.

Saying “it’s water” proves you don’t know enough, which explains why you’ve had a bad experience. No shame in that, like I said it took me a while. Stick with it, it’s worth it.

You were right, it’s for your ass. No clue what they were talking about.

Usually they have a gauge that handles pressure, so if it hydroblasted you then start a bit lower.

And his wife?

Then you don’t use it well. Which is fine, it took me a while to get used to mine and use it effectively.

Wasn’t this just shut down…?

Basically just focus on staying present and not letting yourself get carried away by your internal monologue. It’s infinitely harder than it sounds. You can close your eyes, focus on a specific spot in a room, focus on your breathing, anything to keep yourself present and focused. Keep your mind empty as best you can.

The best advice I ever got was, when you have an intrusive thought during meditation, to acknowledge it, and let it fade away. Don’t focus on it or criticize yourself for it, as that will usually only make it harder to refocus yourself.

Meditation is super helpful for a lot of reasons, but for me personally it helped a lot with negative thinking and mental traps (like catastrophizing and stuff). It helps you to be more aware of when you’re getting carried away by thoughts, and how to push them aside and be present.

Look into mindfulness if you’re interested, it’s helped me a lot.

Thankfully no, that sounds like it must’ve sucked. I had a couple of really intense weekends, the kind where you go right back up after you start to come down, and found that I messed up my tolerance. And with dxm tolerance is virtually permanent, so that was sort of the end of it.

But now that I know it could’ve caused hemorrhoids… lol I’m kinda glad I stopped.

I had this problem when I did heavy dxm. Sitting there for forever, while still high as god, praying it’ll eventually happen was agony.

If I ever do it again, I’ll give your tip a try!

In Windows 11 it saves every text file you open as a new tab, so every time you open a text file you’ll have tabs upon tabs of every previous text file you’ve ever opened.

Here’s a Reddit post with some people talking about how to disable it, how frustrating it is, and even how it’s causing problems by straight up opening the wrong file if it’s named the same as a text file you’ve opened in the past.

Notepad is horrible now, how tf do you mess that up??

No fucking kidding lmao

That’s what I was hoping too, and I’m sure for some it does, but I also saw an article the other day about people using these to blackmail children into giving real nudes, so fuck me I guess.

I still hope that for the majority of pedos this is solely something used to deter their urges. I’d like at least that much I mean ffs.

I mean literally yes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still horrible

Yeah damn, that’s true.

An obvious answer would be to talk to younger people about it, to explain how gross and violating it is. Even if it doesn’t become illegal, there are plenty of legal things that people avoid and recognize are bad because they were taught correctly.

Unfortunately, due to how puritan our society is, I can’t imagine many parents would be willing to talk to their kids about stuff like this.
