  • Previously, it was hard to discuss these shades of green with your non-drinking or uncultured friends.

    "yeah the frog was this really unique shade of green. Say, have you ever been to Aiguenoire? No? Well the monks make this liqueur there. Oh, you don’t drink? You don’t know what liqueur is? It’s like hard liquor but cut with sugar. Anyways. The monks make this beverage that’s like neon green and the frog reminded me of that. Oh, yeah, neon. Like the green signs? Made with tube lights? "


  • I agree. The algorithm wants you constantly putting out annoying shit to keep their audience hooked. At first you are creative! Monetizing your hobby! Soon you have a hole on your resume, a demanding schedule, a soulless algo, a capricious audience you must grow… Yeah I think I’d take corporate life over being a streamer or whatever.

    Its even eaten traditional creative careers. Writers and artists must be online content creators above all else.



















  • When I was 19 I could barely scrape together $22 for a 30 rack of something cheap.

    When I was 14 I had never tried alcohol. Obviously the 21-25 crowd might be expected to spend slightly more on alcohol (maybe?) than the 26-30 crowd. But like even if Gen Z isn’t drinking (which I hear is true) I wouldn’t expect them to spend a lot on booze, for a host of reasons.
