Monitor

Track My Phone, Please: Teens Feel Safer When Parents Monitor Their Every Move.

I want to doubt this but alas I have met too many Gen Z wimps and losers and know this is probably true. Wanting this sort of surveillance is nearly unimaginable for someone of my generation. I was raised by wolves, but most of my friends spent a lot of time trying to avoid being monitored or interfered with by their parents.

It just seems crazy to me that anyone would want this. Just…why? It does mesh sociologically with the “complete safety” obsession that came to the fore as the pandemic was receding. Which there never is, of course.

We have failed Gen Z; they cannot handle reality.

Back Down

TIFU by opening PDF file which made me lose my 3 years of work (got hacked, lost access to all Google files).

It amazes me that people claim to have all this “vital” stuff and got no backups anywhere. How the fuck do you have no fucking backups? Just blows my mind that people believe, “It’s in the cloud, it’s all good, nothing could ever happen.”

Back up your shit, people! Or I can almost guarantee that over a long enough time span you will lose all your data.

(Also, don’t click on random weird PDFs. Why would you do that?)
