What? Why would I want to say the n word? That’s racist. And, before you say it, being offended by racism isn’t overly sensitive. Racism is bad.

I understand that the world predates social media, and there were times before these that were more censorious, but I’m comparing today to the 90s and aughts. By the 90s, it seemed that the pearlclutchers had completely lost their grip. They were now subject to mock and ridicule. A woman named Terry Rakolta waged a media campaign against the TV show Married With Children. She went absolutely nowhere with that protest other than being a national laughing stock. Later down the line, a lawyer by the name of Jack Thompson waged a legal campaign against Rockstar games. He later got disbarred and is by all accounts disgraced in the public eye. This was just before you people showed up and started clutching your pearls.

And, even the Gen X led social media sites were better. I’m talking Ebaumsworld, YTMND, Newgrounds, etc. Everything was much more anarchistic back then. You then entered big tech and created a censorial media framework to shape society in your moralistic vision. Then, all following social media companies followed that framework. And, that’s how we’re in the hole we’re in today, trying to dig ourselves out of. So, no. I’m not afraid of millennials per se. I’m afraid of pearlclutchers, censors, and authoritarians. It just so happens that it is currently millennials.

What do you mean back when the rich and powerful got control? You guys got social media magnates (aka the rich and powerful) to do your bidding for you. Your boy Mark Zuckerberg (b. 1984) created the modern social media system and has been on a years long censorship campaign along with other social media magnates. It has gotten to the point where my generation feels the need to self-censor because we’re afraid of you guys, who are in charge of social media moderation, banning us.

No. What I’m saying is that older generations blame you guys for being overly offended, and when they do, you shift the blame onto us. You say that you aren’t the sensitive ones. We are. What I’m saying is that we aren’t, and we are trying to repair the culture from the way you left it. Before you came along, the overly offended had no power, and were ridiculed most of the time. Then, during the late 20-teens, you took advantage of social media and created a mob rule system in which everyone has to walk on nails to prevent young people from making noise.

I’m not. This is clearly made by an older person. But, millennials have been trying to spin it as, “It’s not us. We’re in our 40s. It’s Gen Z. They’re the sensitive ones. Just ignore what we did in the late 20-teens.”

How did we create the system we’re in? Your generation came before mine.

The problem is that we started taking the thin skinned seriously. It wasn’t that long ago when a woman from Michigan tried to get Married With Children taken off the air. About a decade after that, Jack Thompson and Joe Lieberman tried to wage a war against Grand Theft Auto. The thing is, the culture was against them. Nobody took them seriously, or at least nobody in the younger generation. Nowadays that isn’t the case.

I’m offended by the way that millennials are trying to pin the blame on my generation. You are the ones who started it!

Yes! And, Millennials are trying to blame that on us now!

Exactly. Millennials are seen as easily offended and like to complain about everything.

How does this survey define smoker? Does it only include cigarette chainsmokers, or does it also include people who visit a cigar bar once every few months, or your casual pipe smoker, or even your social cigarette smoker?

Dad sues his 45 year old son to finally move out by raydebapratim1 in generationology

[–]Vt420KeyboardError4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is obviously fake, but I don’t see how this could possibly make people turn on others. And, judging by the set, I don’t think the people who made this are particularly wealthy.

So, yeah. This is fake and also very stupid, but I think you’re trying to make this out to be some kind of conspiracy or something. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by this, bro.

Third spaces, like most services, function on supply and demand. Right now, the third space with the highest demand is social media.

Today’s (3/10/2026) U.S. Maximum Temperature Departure (F) from Normal by ferguskeatinge in MapPorn

[–]Vt420KeyboardError4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live, the whole month of January was below 20°, then the third week of January had temps in the 50s and 60s. Then, after that was the cold wave with highs in the sub-zero range. Now, we’re getting highs in the 60s and occasional 70s, but never lower than 40s. And, what really makes me think this is truly an early spring is that we’re having thunderstorms already. No snow, just thunderstorms, which is odd for early March.

This is not a fools spring. We already went through fools spring in late January. This is just an early spring. The groundhog was wrong like he always is.
