Have you actually had a conversation with anyone from gen z? Watched any of the content they produce? They're radically anti-capitalist and are well aware they're living in a dystopia. Of course they have mental health issues. Look at the world they're inheriting from us and tell me why they should feel any differently.
But maybe they should just swallow their feelings and beat their girlfriends because that's what their forefathers did? Feelings are icky.
And they're bad because they'd rather make money pursuing their passions than grinding for some pedophilic billionaire? Get real. If they were left to their own devices, this world would be closer to a utopia than humanity has ever been before.
Also, they're funny as fuck, creative, inventive, and wonderfully culturally aware. Love Gen z.
Any issues they have can be attributed to two things:
Humanity as a whole is dumb and violent.
We screwed them over. Don't blame the victim.
Edit: Here, let me provide a nice little example for you. I guess just be glad you'll die before my children? Positivity! :)
You have to start somewhere. Learning something on tiktok is the start of the process, not the end.
You start with a thread and you pull and you pull and you pull and pretty soon you have enough thread to sew yourself an entire wardrobe.
You can't start at the end or the middle or a third of the way through. You start at the beginning. You can't research something if you don't know it exists. You start with an idea, a question, not the answer.
You are looking at this like an adult looking backwards, not a young person looking forwards. You can not learn in reverse.
I'm a millennial and don't use tiktok, but things change and they're supposed to. Your argument started off good, but immediately went sideways. Privacy is an actual problem, your beef with gen z is not. You sound like an old man shaking his cane at the sky. We can all cry over how much we miss AIM and Myspace, but they're gone. This shit won't last forever either.
I think you're misreading this. I've been varying levels of nauseous for 7 years now and every single hour of every single one of those days, I've screamed internally, "something is going to be done, this will get better, he will be stopped." And absolutely nothing happens. It just gets worse and worse and it's been deeply destructive to my mental health. It's emotionally safer to distance yourself from this. Pessimism is a shield against the arrows of disappointment.
I won't feel safe until that man expires while serving several lifetime sentences behind bars and all of his followers are shunned into obscurity. If then. Such is the nature of trauma.
I'm scared, frankly. We can all pretend we know what's going to happen, but we don't and we haven't the entire time. He hasn't been convicted of anything and a good 40% of the country want it to stay that way.
Why does it annoy you? He's a terrible human being with more money than God and he doesn't even pay taxes. His very existence is harmful to us all. At the bare minimum, he deserves ridicule.
Yes. I love New Vegas. Fantastic storylines. I started off with 2 and I'd say that New Vegas is the title I remember with the most fondness. The Fallout franchise is in my top 3. Just a joy to play.
Have I tried unsuccessfully to revist it several times over the years? Also yes.
My vocabulary has forever been altered.
