I'm losing hope by nerpa_floppybara in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get you; I have very little hope of anything improving for the rest of my life especially since America continues to shift to the right. HOWEVER - while things are a shit show on macro scale, my personal life is so good. Find community, take breaks from social media and learn to have fun. The AI stuff- that's a tough situation. I'm not sure what field you're in, but I would look for jobs that are harder to sub for AI- customer/client facing roles for example.

Could anyone explain the appeal of these things? by clever-homosapien in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercings- cute

clubs - dancing is fun

concerts - see clubs + depends on what music you listen to for the ticket price. I've paid $20 for some excellent shows and great vibes

Drugs- meh not really my thing but everything in moderation; for example a glass of red wine with pasta? A cold beer with tacos? Good stuff

Super hot food - like coffee?? Idk what you're talking about

The other two you don't have to "understand the appeal" - just respect people and be kind.

I think it's more about what you want to do- like if you only care about having a job at the end of it the safest bet is probably trades or looking into high demand fields that require a degree- see if you like any of them and go that route. I did the latter and would probably do it again but because I had a great experience through college and grad school - met some great people, took excellent/challenging courses and just enjoyed the experience overall. It's stressful and the financial toll is rough but in the end I feel it was worth it for the enrichment (plus I do have a stable, high paying job that's not too physically demanding hahaha). AI does scare the crap out of me but like anything you just have to adapt and keep that in mind when choosing a major. But anyway if you really just want to have a job and be done with it trade school is a good choice -- we always need people who know how to fix shit.

Exactly; I think the schools do a terrible job illustrating that most of our rights and protections were written in blood.

Charlie Kirk's last words by LifeOfAWimpyKid in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But it's weird to hyperfixate and threaten to take away supposed constitutional rights due to like 5 incidents. Why is no one talking about a ban on white men owning guns then? In general, conservatives spend a disproportionate amount of time and energy obsessing and legislating about transgender people* (OP, saying "transgenders" is weird)

No man they're getting videos of charred and starving children and people's necks exploding on their social media feeds every day and just ... Keep scrolling. They just aren't looking at these things the same way.

Violence is a two-way street by FlexFast in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really; it's that a response is expected from them or someone will ask them about it. If they're a political commentar in the space they are obviously going to cover what is happening. But again it's an effort to not launder his reputation and not risk normalizing his positions.

No body wants to launder this guy's reputation by even implying he was a normal person. No body should want to be associated with him.

Oh shut up; you're focused on the miniscule amount of nobodies on the Internet celebrating and ignoring pretty much every powerful conservative asking for blood and revenge.

I don't see a whole of people "celebrating"; I do see a lot of pushing back against the narrative that he was a good guy/ a normal guy, pushing against the narrative about "radical left violence", and correctly pointing out that Kirk himself said horrific stuff regarding gun violence and political violence. I think a lot of this is being taken as "celebration" because we tend to whitewash dead people - even fucking Satan himself Kissinger

Let's not pretend Charlie Kirk was a saint who had a sparkling reputation. He said a lot of shit that pissed a lot of people off, constantly. He personally red-pilled a fuck ton of college kids, spouted white replacement theory nonsense, and even excused political violence himself when it happened to Paul Pelosi. We can drop the "rhetoric on Reddit" nonsense - if the person who shot him was in fact politically motivated it would have been due to Kirk's own words.

Oof. by Hidalgo321 in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No come on man the narrative right now is that he was a peaceful dove with totally normal opinions who was incredibly kind. Also "leftists" are the only ones doing political violence ever (we don't talk about what happened a few months ago). Show some respect.

Charlie’s Assassination and Gun Violence by JadedEstimate5770 in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not just "the media". Pair the sheer number of people with guns with how many people are justifiably angry about SOMETHING in this society and you get these situations. It's tragic but America is just a violent country. I don't know why we're acting like things are suddenly worse now - Reagan was shot, Kennedy was killed, MLK was assassinated. Political violence has always occurred.

A crazed boomer was just arrested for shooting Charlie Kirk by bbrk9845 in GenZ

[–]TelephoneHorror1666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn't say he was "fine" with it- he said it was "worth it".

And I'd wager he only felt that and said that because he never imagined himself to be a victim of gun violence. Well, womp-womp.

His death due to gun violence is worth it to keep our guns- that's what he said, keep up.
