it’s wild how tech literacy lasted like one generation barely before it fell off

*before billion dollar corporations recognized it as a threat and worked really hard to make sure it was harder to achieve

they still have laptops and youtube like yeah i get it i know about enshittification and planned obsolescence and i know mega corps want us dumb and feeble but like there’s still laptops and desktops and youtube and reddit tutorials and guides that can give you basic tech literacy like you can’t blame steve jobs for not knowing how to use alt tab on your keyboard you have SOME agency even in a shifting technology landscape like i can’t say enough they still have laptops and youtube

(Clippy Voice) Hi! It looks like you're trying to address systemic issues by suggesting individualist solutions. Have you tried unlearning the dominant "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology you grew up in?

you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression

"Jason and Lizzie is so disgusting and problematic because..." I think you guys are just making things up to be mad at atp. Like or we could talk about the blatant misogyny in King's writing of Diana. We could do that instead. We could talk about how Lizzie's character was created entirely in the service of Jon & Damian without any regard for what it would mean for Diana. Instead of making things up to be mad at. If you have to do math to explain why a fictional relationship that could literally never exist in the real world is """problematic""" then I think you are grasping at straws and you need to focus on the actual issues because you're diluting your argument. You can just say Tom King's writing is misogynistic. You can say that.
