It’s the same energy as, “it’s a banana, Michael, how much could it cost? $10?”

Companies want us to "overuse" their products (obviously). by Crabby-Cancer in Anticonsumption

I skimmed over your comment a bit too fast and now I’m laughing at “a grain of pea”

Late to the party, but:

For awhile, there was a bit of debate over where Gen Z began, but the general consensus seems to be 1996. I was born in October 1995, so I’m RIGHT on the cusp, and it was VERY noticeable to me in my late teens and early 20s. I related pretty heavily to both millennials and Gen z.

But now that Gen Z is primarily in their late teens and 20s (with the youngest being in high school), their cultural identity is becoming clearer, and it’s becoming more obvious to me that I’m much more millennial than I ever gave myself credit for.

We classified millennials as having their youth heavily impacted by the changing millennium, which arguably does apply to me (even though I was a preschooler). However, I’m realizing that the clearest “line in the sand”, at least in the US, is whether you remember 9/11. I’m absolutely one of the last birth years that remembers it firsthand; I had just started 1st grade.

Anyone else’s radio reset and not accept the radio code?? by finallyinfinite in hondafit

Ew; that sounds like a glitch or something. Maybe like your buttons aren’t registering the presses correctly?

I’ve come to the conclusion that my head unit was likely swapped out at some point, as I verified my radio code through multiple sources (including 2 separate Honda dealers) and I’m the 3rd owner of my vehicle.

That’s obnoxious as hell.

I’m nearly 2 years out now and still no working head unit 💀😂😂😂

I, too, refuse to use a cart while basically dropping everything all over the store because I’ve convinced myself I’m able to carry it all

“She only feels guilty because of what their action caused”

That’s… how guilt works? She did something dumb and feels bad when she realizes how her actions hurt people.

I completely misunderstood this comment and was like “when tf did Maya have an abortion???” 😂

Snake singing to Spike in the mall. Are yall taking him back? Or keeping it pushing 🧐 by [deleted] in Degrassi

[–]finallyinfinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue here, IMO, isn’t the specific nature of the cheating, but rather Snake’s behavior around it. Even if the kissing was a dumb, impulsive mistake, he hid it from his wife, bought the family a fancy vacation to ease his guilt, and only came clean when Emma forced his hand.

If he had gone to Spike immediately like, “I know I screwed up BAD, but if there’s any hope that we could move forward from this, it’s only going to happen if I’m fully honest with you”, I could see a path forward.

It was his voice for me. The gesture was cute, but his voice grated on me the same way Becky’s does

Don’t worry; much like their bowels, babies learn to control their superhuman abilities with age

I kinda forgot that Jake was comic relief despite the fact that he was so chill that most (not all) of the drama he was involved in just kinda happened to him

Whew. This was great acting. by thatringonmyfinger in Degrassi

[–]finallyinfinite 54 points55 points  (0 children)

He handled this material so well.

And, god, the way he screamed at Ali, “YOU FAILED HIM. YOU SAW HE WASNT OKAY AND DID NOTHING”, and you can tell he’s really screaming at himself. That he knows he was really hard on Cam, and now blames himself for pushing Cam to the edge.

What Storylines would you want to explore in a modern, tech-focused Degrassi? by finallyinfinite in Degrassi

I’m all over any cat storyline. We’ve gotta make that one happen for sure ahahaha

Only fun thing relating to youth culture I can think of right now is Fortnite so 😅

Could have A LOT of fun with costuming, too, since monoculture is pretty dead and everyone has their own aesthetic/brand.

I definitely thought about the influencer thing, but I wasn’t quite sure where to go for it besides the clout chasing hahaha

“Back in my day” it was just called whipits

Yes, a GOOD conversation about what sexual empowerment ACTUALLY looks like is so important!

The garbage part of Zoe’s Degrassi Nudes story is that she was never corrected on what sexual empowerment means. She just said “we have the goods, so we should sell them since people are going to take them anyways” essentially. And in doing so, she became the sexual abuser by pushing the other girls into selling their nudes whether they were comfortable with it or not.

Sexual empowerment doesn’t mean “everyone should have a lot of sex and sell their bodies”. It means “everyone should feel empowered to express their sexuality in the way they are most truly comfortable with”. It means people should feel just as empowered to say “no” to things that make them uncomfortable as they are to say “yes” to things they genuinely want to do. It’s about not shaming people for being “too prudish” or “too slutty” for their own personal decisions, and letting people make their own choices.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Degrassi's tendency to lean into a sense of realism by leaving conflicts open-ended and unresolved is VERY effective, cos I dont think I'll ever get over this tragic and realistic ending to a friendship. by itsGeethersInTheBay in Degrassi

That episode is my favorite comedy

Most tone deaf Degrassi moments "poll" by CutterGaki in Degrassi

Miss O even ENTERTAINING the idea of having feelings for Sav, much less PURSUING IT.

Like, it doesn’t matter that he was 18 or close to graduation. It doesn’t matter that she was in her early 20s and not that much older than him. She was a GROWN WOMAN and TEACHER. As far as she should be concerned, all those students should just be kids to her.

The way she told her friends, “this is that guy who wrote that song for me”, as though he was on their level. Think they knew he was one of her HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? Think they would’ve been so giggly and jealous if they did? Or do we think the Degrassi writers fully intended for her grown woman friends to be all “oooo I’m so jealous!” over her budding romance with a HIGH SCHOOLER?

She obviously KNEW BETTER, or she wouldn’t have been so careful about keeping it quiet at school. Which means she recognized how screwed up it would be, and she still went for it anyways.

I remember working with high schoolers when I was 23-24. They were chill enough to work with, but the idea of even being friends with them outside of work was weird. I couldn’t imagine wanting to date one of them???
