Millennials were born in the late 80s and through the 90s. 97/8 is the rough cutoff. Most of them are in their 30s now and the oldest are in their early 40s.

This article only covers typing, but younger gen z and gen alpha are (not at all to their blame) woefully bad at understanding technology. Even using their own devices, like the iphone, outside of a few dozen common apps can be challenging. Let alone desktop OSs, servers and things like printing.
I stress that I absolutely do not say this to call them dumb or ignorant. They have not been given other resources and were not raised on other kinds of tech. And as the article points out, older generations in administration and management positions falsely equate this “app savy” intelligence to tech ability. That is where the blame lies mostly not with the young teenagers and kids.
The article points to a concerning trend, well a couple actually.
One, companies are forgoing the pride, progressive, blm era fake support because they have crunched the numbers and realized that they don’t need to pretend anymore. Target has cut back their support significantly, and these c-suites and shareholders realize they don’t need to waste money pretending that they care. The times have shifted and a rise in right wing, fascist thinking worldwide has definitely emboldened them.
Secondly, the notion that queer liberals think that these companies ever gave two shits about them. Perhaps I’m misinterpreting the statistics and quotes in the article.
LGBTQ+ adults believe that companies can show support for the community by participating in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index and earning a perfect score (93.5 percent), donating money to LGBTQ+ nonprofits (93 percent), and sponsoring Pride events (87.7 percent) — all of which the above companies have recently reversed their support of>
The sooner the working class realizes that these companies never gave a rats ass about them to begin, and only pretended because in years past it was profitable to do so (at least in the US), the better off we will be. The radical attitudes of young people in 2020 have shriveled away into a vague American liberalism which believes the status quo is just fine.
Maybe I completely overreacted or my biases are reading for me. But when I see stuff like this, I feel this uneasy feeling. Open to responses and thoughts.
Yes. It’s why here’s there.
Notice how they put him as soon as Trump started denying project 25. Perhaps all bullshit for the public but maybe not all bs. The Heritage Foundation might have actually gotten a bit spooked and put in a good yes man like Vance.
Then don’t. Why you gotta announce it??
You know the same thing was said with Beeper’s imessage on Android pytorch success. “Apple won’t be able to change this. They’d have to change the very nature of imessage itself to block this!” And then, two days later it was blocked completely so, as much as I would hope Google couldn’t block FreeTube, don’t expect such huge successes without tempering expectation.
Fascist fucks. Who knew settler colonialism leads to hyper-xenophobic fascism
Scratch a liberal and a disgusting nazi fascist bleeds.
Least xenophobic American liberal
You’re a fucking fascist then
You don’t get it… If I don’t defend Musk and Bezos, then I have to admit I’m being fucked over. Then I have to actually deal with the reality that life is completely out of my control except for collective bargaining and class consciousness.
That takes a lot of unlearning and reformulating to do, and a lot of grace towards myself for falling for propaganda and that rails against my rugged individualism as I have been taught since childhood.
All of this takes time and effort, as well as the mentioned patience and acceptance that I am not the sole master of my own destiny. That my parents were taught a lie and lied to me, and so did their parents.
So I believe i n sunk cost fallacies and worship said billionaires.
Hey look guys! It’s opposing genocide! So radical
And yet gen z despite being the queerest generation yet, gorges themselves there. Mindless consumerism
If you think that ESB was fan fiction that’s wild
Did the prequels actively try to undo one another? 8 tries to fix 7 and 9 tries to fix 8 which makes for a sloppy trilogy
Exactly
Fascists are fucking perverts. And I don’t mean that in a fun, anti-system way. I mean freakishly, evil perversion.
The 1950s ideas that sexual repression is what caused the Nazis were wrong but thet were onto something about fascism and sexual expression.
Fascists are freaks, and again I stress as a queer, non-normative sexual expressive person, not in a fun way.
soon-ish
Analog Nowhere!! So good
