the whole topic of breeding for traits and predictable personality is still weird to me, i can kinda just accept it as one of those things i simply won't get but it's just animal eugenics.

I shudder at the thought of iPad kids being compelled to watch YouTube Kids all day without their parents supervision as it's the only thing they pay attention to. I'm genuinely sickened by said kids viewing YT kids content as "nostalgic" someday; it's a plague. People with very little credibility on how to make children's content should not be trusted, especially if that content is extremely questionable in nature! (Looking at you, Elsagate)
Please at least download apps that will give your child some level of educational substance or expose them to trusted shows on kids channels with actual morals (ex: Sesame Street, Bluey, Paw Patrol) I swear I'm going to snap at the next entitled parent I see leaving their child unattended through the catacombs of the internet. It makes me incredibly pissed.

"Well that was literally insane and we shouldn't have seen it, who else got traumatized by this lol?" like our generation had with happy tree friends, salad fingers, and various shock websites. Or hell, even old cartoons that were on tv like what the hell was Mr. Meaty? How did Ren and Stimpy get away with like HALF of their entire show?

Wait actually that's a lie I had the most hilariously loud drawn-out fart after i had chili the other day it sounded like one of those fake stock sound effect files and I laughed about it for like 5 minutes cause it was honestly just unreal how fake it sounded. I think that's like the only time I've ever laughed about farting though because damn those beans got me.

Okay I do understand the weird “screwed up” kind of nostalgia like, “oh wow why did my parents let me watch this… wait were they really not present at all in my life” kind of like a realization maybe? I definitely agree with the fact that that traumatizing kids media will always be a thing, but those programs have the security of being green lit by a television network, and on YouTube, ANYONE with an account can make a video.
I’m not saying that every person working on a kids show for a network can fly under the radar with subliminal messaging (CLEARLY that’s not the case. *cough cough* Dan Schneider ew ewww) but it definitely narrows the scope down. I think it’s just my skepticism that leads me to believe that all YT kids content not put out by a verified source is sketchy and obnoxious at best and developmentally dangerous at worst.

PRINTERS. im trying to print off a document to scan and then upload back but my printer keeps telling me there isn't available ink even though it's been replaced, but then prints out a page in full colour on how to order more ink from their website. and if it's not the ink, there's some alignment issue or just a warning sign without any text explaining what the issue is. why must something that takes like, three steps, now require like thirty?

What annoys me even more is when parents claim no responsibility for it. They'll complain about how addicted their 6 year old is to their ipad and blame it on them being gen z or gen alpha instead of the fact that they were literally the one who gave their child a device in the first place

Good lord. I was reading at a third grade reading level in kindergarten; that wasn't even twenty years ago. Then again, I was raised by my grandmother for the first 10-ish years of my life, so not entirely sure how credible that makes me in talking about parenting styles? Not that it really matters at all. Technology was a lot less advanced (for refernce, my grandma had a Windows 98, BIG source of internet nostalgia for me I loved that computer, little side tangent but I vividly remember playing Yhatzee with my grandma on it, such a pleasant experience) I like to believe I was raised a hell of a lot better than what's going on now. Sorry if that came across a little rude, I really don't know how I can rephrase it right now.

People in class who listen to music with the volume all the way up on their airpods so that it doesn't even mute the music anymore. Messes with My brain to an annoying degree. My headphones are quite volume sensitive so I always have to check that my music is at a respectable volume, both for the people around me and teachers in case they need me for anything.

They'll complain about how addicted their 6 year old is to their ipad and blame it on them being gen z or gen alpha instead of the fact that they were literally the one who gave their child a device in the first place and half the time the parent is equally addicted to their iPad but for some reason thinks it’s okay when they do it

I have a job where I have to log in and out of multiple computers constantly. Teams always takes like 5-10 minutes to load automatically, so it interrupting me constantly makes me want to break the application over my knee, especially if I am working under a time limit. Also the teams message sound lives in my nightmares.

maybe a very personal rant but as a cosplayer who's been a part of the community for over a decade, i hate the very superficial direction cosplay has taken as a mainstream pastime. this will probably gain me whiny grandma points but when i started 10 years ago, cosplay was still a very niche hobby, most people didn't know what it was and the only way to connect with cosplayers in general was through a few centralized sites and forums and at conventions. it was not a marketable or 'cool' thing at all, there were the more renowned/'famous' cosplayers but generally, it was very much a nerdy thing.
cosplay experienced a major boom in the later 2010s and is now pretty much a household term, everyone knows someone who cosplays and cosplayers make up a large part of the biggest creators on tiktok and other social media apps. in some ways this is really nice, because access to cosplay materials and accessories has increased tenfold (you can find shit now that you wouldn't dream of finding years ago, in fact some of the cosplays i had to have custom made for myself way back when are now readily available on pro cosplay stores) and it's no longer seen as weird or dorky to cosplay, it's just a cool hobby.
but on the other hand i HATE how shallow the community has become. i got into cosplay for the costumes but also for the people. the atmosphere at the cons has completely changed. cosplay was always about having fun and meeting other people who liked the same things you did. now it's more about getting views and likes on social media. so yea it's basically become a beauty contest, as with everything on the internet lol the prettiest people get the most attention, it's not so much about the quality of the cosplay anymore but the attractiveness of the person wearing it. that's not to say that viewpoint is necessarily universal but i do see it a lot and it's disappointing. it's frustrating when you pour hours of time and bucketloads of money into a cosplay and then some girl who bought a bodysuit on amazon gets 100x the attention and praise that you do.
but that's just me being bitter ig? idk, mostly i hate how i have also fallen into the view trap. i'm very grateful for the following i have, i just find myself being jealous and wanting more and i hate how i've been conditioned into it lol. the con thing gets me the most, no one stops to take your pic anymore, we're all taking pics of ourselves for social media. it's sad but ah well. such is the nature of time.
... I'm gonna go shake my fist at the sky for a bit

Today is Election Day in the US and all my mom wants to do is argue with me about my political views. After I specifically said to leave well alone. It literally accomplishes nothing but making both of us mad at each other.
