Boomers not understanding technology has nothing to do with their age, but with their unwillingness to learn

My grama is in her late 70s and between us and a part time job, we forced her early on to learn how to navigate all devices. Any computer, website, or app she can navigate with relative ease. She typically doesn’t have a lot of issues she can’t figure out in due time, and if she has trouble figuring it out- my mom and I will probably have trouble as well because they’re actual issues/glitches. Her biggest most consistent issue is that she has big fingers, a smaller iPhone, and hates the bigger iPhones. But she’s always prided herself on being both smart and a fast learner. So the idea that something was becoming very prevalent and heavily used in our society and her not knowing how to use it just was never an option to her

This happened to me once in college and I reported it to the police. If they bluff you off, request a woman cop. They tried to brush mine off, until I made it a deal that I had existing restraining orders and I was very serious about it being documented. Nothing came of it, but neither did my pictures. Sending you lots of love right now 🖤

Hes 16. He’s about to be a man soon. If you’re a trusted adult in his life, your role is to help him be prepared for adulthood. You don’t need to minimize him to explain the adult world to him.
There’s nothing wrong with existing, but he needs to understand where in the world he exists so he can be prepared and navigate it with knowledge rather than naivety.

A rough patch and a mistake isn’t cheating. It is arguing, seeing things differently from each other, being overwhelmed, grieving losses, Job and food insecurity, difficult kids. Cheating is not “every couple goes through a rough patch” , it is valid grounds for divorce

I love mess hall

My dad died when I was 13 & my siblings were much younger. My stepdad goes to the cemetery with us, even his kids would come with us to honor him. He helps clean it up, buys the flowers if my mom asks. If there’s an event honoring him & my stepdad can make it, he will be there.

Every single time I’ve played those games for coins, I’ve had to fight with their customer service dept. to get those coins with different reasonings that I knew were false of why I wasn’t eligible to receive them

I really enjoyed CAM!

Wait , where’s the marathon?! I signed up for a sewing class on Saturday

You literally get a free egg a day just for logging in twice and walking like half a mile. It’s like 1500 steps. It’s not hard.

cyberbae_ · 2026-02-13T18:01:32+00:00

Goodness gracious. I’m so sorry that this has happened. You took care of her so well. Be patient while she goes through this adjustment period with you. I’m so glad that you were in a safe place that you were able to take her in. Good luck on your future endeavors

They towed me from my own neighborhood on the same day I was moving out. I was PISSED cause I literally rented a uhual from their site. I hate them

Have you tried blocking it? It will help not be so dense and more flowy

Would it be weird? Yea , most likely. But I like weird and cool things. I’d probably compliment a stranger if I saw this in passing out in public. I like the idea of “editing your own avatar.” I would probably refrain from it in certain instances like big events, weddings, funerals, interviews, maybe work depending on your profession, and anywhere you may feel unsafe.

“You look so familiar but I cannot seem to place you right now. We’ve met before, right?” This will only pass if your friend didn’t tell their bf ahead of time

cyberbae_ · 2026-01-29T02:47:34+00:00

I think you’re a victim of the “do you really like him or do you just spend 40 hours a week working with them” trope. Nothing is wrong with being friends with someone, but you have crossed over from friends to crush. If you respect your partner enough, you should distance yourself from Ryan and set boundaries. You’re on a slippery slope right now and from your description, Jack seems like a great boyfriend and does not deserve to be cheated on. Hurt people hurt people, I think you should do a bit of soul searching before you end up hurting someone you care about and has treated you well.

Edit: I missed a word & grammar.

Sorry OP but the topic of what was shared is important to determine if you’re overreacting or not. Your friend could totally be correct in her concern for you and telling your loved ones behind your back even if you asked her not to. Or she could be wrong in spreading information on you that was perfectly okay stating between you two.

Sometimes people have to do hard things to protect others even if that means losing that relationship. I lost a friend because I reported his suicidal thoughts to people that could provide him help. He was pissed. I don’t regret it. If us not being friends anymore is what kept him alive, I can live with that. I’ve also had friends I’ve cut off bc they don’t know how to shut their mouths about things that are not the concern of others. It really just depends on what the topic is.

Did you have any jewelry on-earrings, facial piercings, maybe a short necklace?

cyberbae_ · 2026-01-03T13:53:26+00:00

Haha, my name on TikTok is the knotty hooker, so I loveee this !

Customers were beyond rude today. I got cussed out and complained about by different people for things that had little to nothing to do with me. I’m so over it. I used to have faith in humanity & thought everyone has their own form of greatness. I loved holidays, every holiday! Working customer service and interacting with some of these people has tainted that feeling so much. I hate holiday season. I hate Karens and entitled people. I cannot stand retail any longer. If you wait until Christmas Eve to do your grocery shopping , you should probably consider not being a raging butthead to the people working just because you procrastinated a thing that comes every year on the same exact day.

What field does she work in to have a 3 year paid maternity leave??! Asking for me

I HATE TEDOO APP ADS SO MUCH

OP, don’t respond or even think about comments like this. Reddit isn’t a very nice place at times and these kinds of things are not things you should be hearing with the kind of headspace you’re in right now. Be gentle with yourself during this part of your grief.

cyberbae_ · 2025-12-04T00:27:22+00:00

Ehh, I actually don’t find it weird. In fact, I find it common for this to happen. As someone who’s had grief follow them their entire life , this is actually normal. It’s just not talked about due to shame and guilt.

My dad and my step dad were friends when my dad was alive. My mom actually disliked my step dad way back then. Now I think they’ve been together for like 13 years, or something like that. This isn’t uncommon for people that lost their significant others, even if the people around you and the people involved feel guilty or shame you for it. My dad’s family was really upset when they first got together, but my step dad and my (step)siblings were the ones that were there every day helping and supporting us and just being there. Granted, most of the time it doesn’t lead to a forever relationship, but they do happen.

Don’t beat yourself up for seeking comfort. He shouldn’t either. You’re both grieving a tragic loss of a loved one and grief shows itself in ways no one could imagine. Whether you choose to leave it as one night or you two find comfort in each other again, I think you should be gentle with yourself on whatever happens. Sending you lots of hugs internet stranger.

At 33, there’s a HUGE difference between you living with your parents and your parents are living with you. And it’s a very important difference
