what?
why?
Because I won't answer you.
@pratel they've had to cancel multiple cards. They don't get computer security at all because they can't see beyond their comfortable small town life. The world outside may as well be Rand McNally to them.
fair enough
I'm in hell
schwing
Completely different world experiences making it impossible to communicate at all. Like talking to aliens.
Coo.l Has it frozen over yet?
I wish
Found me a knife
Trying to explain algorithmic censorship to a boomer? Impossible.
This is still better than the UK
remember, up the stream not across the river
It sounds like you just don't like that your parents dont value the same stuff you do
or give a shit about it
well yeah?
its a position of relative convenience
the conversation was about explaining culture war problems to boomers to get their political support
i'm trying to take the position that it's really hard.
Yeah parents are people too
And they're vulnerable to "Got mine fuck you"
Like social security for example.
explaining culture war problems to MOST people is nearly impossible
because they generally don't have the same experience and there's no common basis upon which to explain the problem.
because why should they give a fuck
Parents know that you won't be getting social security.
they should give a fuck because we're about to abandon innocent until proven guilt in a court of law
But they see this lack of freakout and go "Well. It'll probably work itself out"
But they haven't worked out how.
current parent's, myself included, know WERE not getting social security
And neither have we.
No one has.
What the hell do we actually do when people can't retire anymore?
?
what?
is that serious?
Social security seemed like a curse more than a boon to me, for the most part
I wasn't reading your fucking messages just because you cut into the middle of my sentences.
