Of course, but the percentage of capable zoomers who are actually tech savvy is much smaller than millenials, for the reasons already stated.

Just the other day I witnessed a zoomer grad student who didn't know how to use a file explorer on his new windows laptop because he had grown up with an iPad and iPhone.

This has been a popsci fantasy for a quarter of a century or more. Google tried it and gave up.

I remember just giving up on life in second grade, refusing to participate or do anything because I was sad. Got tested a bunch after that and given pills that mad me a zombie.

There on out I was treated as a weird kid and that brought a different kind of sadness. Puberty added anger and suicidal ideation. The knowledge that I was fucked up, the world was fucked up, and my life wasn't going to work out.

Years later here I am, living with the knowledge I was right and watching myself fail at life, finding no joy or peace in anything. Everything is an open sore. Wondering when I'll get to a point where I rage quit.

I think most of the people I know are anxious or depressed, or both. Hut I don't know of anyone close to me who is at my level.

Maybe because manh people think it's useless and stupid and wish it would go away. Trusting a random bot to tell you the political leaning of an information source so you know whether to trust the information is peak stupidity, IMO.

I am 100% convinced Twitter is being intentionally destroyed by a cabal of evil oligarchs and nation states.

Both, I think. Iirc the outside was a plastic shell that clipped to the metal toaster. It caught fire when the overfilled tortilla started dripping cheese onto the heating coil.

I don't know if I was more upset about the fire, losing a toaster, or not having a succulent quesadilla dinner.

My partner did the same thing... with a quesadilla.

I didn't say it was a good idea.

Fun fact, if you turn a toaster sideways you can use them to make quesadillas.

This works about 90% of the time.

You're probably thinking of cobalt or perhaps hard rock lithium mines. Most lithium is just pumped out of the ground as brines, just like oil.

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Who's out there not taking medicine for a headache or cramps? I'll take two Advil liquigels at even the hint of a headache.
