10 Ad

Exactly. I was already a full-on adult at 10 years old.

Because of how Gen Z is not allowed to mature, many of them are functionally small children at even 30-35 years old. Which is absurd. This should’ve never been allowed to happen. But it did.

Butter Move

Why is that when men talk to women we always are presumed to have some sort of evil thing we want, while when women talk to men no such base desire is presumed?

First of all, part of the problem is that men’s sexuality in general is assumed to be deviant and undesirable by its very nature. Second, ladies, most of y’all just aren’t that special. Get over yourselves, fuck.

When I ask you to move out of the way so I can get to the damn butter in the Albertson’s, I just want the damn butter. Trust.

That guy is an absolute clown.

And even worse, a dumbass. Not all clowns are dumbasses. But most dumbasses are clowns. In this case, that fuck-up is both. Worst nominee ever.

Whips

I saw some dipshit doof-ass motherfuckers on Reddit the other day arguing very sincerely that it was unethical to alter an artist’s work to display in your own home for no commercial gain of any kind.

Jesus fucking Christ. Corporations have whipped them hard. They are full of so much corporate propaganda spew their blood is basically a syrupy mix of PowerPoint slides and 1OQ’s. And this is how Gen Z is. Their “rebellion” is looking at their smartphone for only 16 hours a day instead of 18.

As for me, I firmly believe art is for remixing, repurposing, ripping apart and assembling back together with duct tape, some gouache, and the panache of not being beholden to corporate thought-scrambling slurry. And I also believe that an artist’s supposedly superior skill should not limit you. You are also an artist. Because here’s the thing: anyone who creates art is an artist.

I know that a lot of creative types feel they must be as punitive as possible with how their art is used because of AI and their own subsumption in corporate power and propaganda, but this zero sum thinking just hurts us all. Yes, even the artists “protecting” themselves.

All of this makes me want to buy one of the minor Picassos and spray-paint my initials on it or something. But I wouldn’t waste money on that just to piss off a drove of doofuses. Still tempting, though.

Switching Speed

When cellphones were pretty new and smartphones were being thought of but not yet invented the conventional wisdom was, “No one is going to carry around a device all day! That’ll never happen!”

And that was what most people believed. It was the obvious thing to claim.

And it was, as it turns out, completely wrong. People in fact do carry around smartphones all day. Something in only a decade or so went from, “Impossible. Will never happen” to “Of course, who doesn’t carry their smartphone everywhere?”

That shows how fast what is obvious can change, and how little-recognized it is when it does. And it always does.
