I don't like getting oils and sweat on my screen. I also don't like putting my dirty screen on my face.
I can still talk to someone and do other stuff on my phone. If I want privacy or I'm in an area where speakerphone would be annoying then fine I'll use it the old way, but generally I have headphones to bridge that gap anyways.
Whenever I think of slang I just imagine that scene from the office, "why use lot word when fewer do trick?" Slang is basically that statement being applied into an actual functional modification to language.
So fuck it fam, live it up. Vibe with the times or whatever. Just don't overdo it lest you sound a little silly (but that's the worst that comes from slang...you just sound a little silly)
The less you try to understand it the more it makes sense. (Also 23)
Stupid slang is stupid but it has existed forever (70s had groovy, and jeepers creepers). I say loosen up and enjoy the stupid words. I remember in highschool common slang words were...jit (younger person), fam(friends), on-god(honestly/swear to god), shook (startled, surprised), thirsty(desperate), extra(too much). All of these words were stupid and I resisted using them, but now I just kinda vibe with the people in my life and the stupid slang slowly seeps in.
Granted I've low-key adopted a lot of random shit from different generations just because I enjoy the word more than the original one. Idk life is short, so why waste time trying to understand things that are just going to change in a year, when you can just be in the moment and focus on what's important?
$300/p could more or less cover a good chunk of the US population though. It'd be a good start and in theory take some of the stress off of the insurer. Far from ideal but it could've been a good step.
You'd think $300 would cover the Dentist, Eye Doctor, and Annual checkups and some cheaper prescriptions. But I will admit idk if the pricing we see is much different from other pricing.
There's plenty of games with "edgy monsters" and I literally always forget them. But a fucking crab with a traffic cone for a shell? I will NEVER forget.
Besides the last franchise that tried to compete with Pokemon on top of adding the edgy monsters was Digimon and that's...questionable at best.
I'm not a huge reader, ADHD ensures that. Also the now "traditional"(?) Anime/Manga art style leaves little to be desired for me. (It feels like the Times New Roman for cartoons) so I generally avoid most mangas. But I've enjoyed the fuck out of Junji Ito's stories despite the disturbing imagery. But Tomi's recurring character is great.
With how common the isekai the seems to go I feel like it's become the "rouge-like" of literature though. It cropped up out of nowhere and now I've got middle aged men at my job referencing the word. Wild stuff
It also sucks if all the content is exclusively paywalled. I wouldn't know what is or isn't good without potentially wasting my hard earned money. I can't even afford rent let alone a series of patreon services. I support creators when I can, but I refuse to be a fucking product for simply being poor.
