That’s about it. Just business stuff. No Spotify, Netflix, or Prime.

Chaos is a ladda!

And social media too!

How many came to Lemmy just because they were dissatisfied with reddit or such.

Yeah, it can be used deliberately in a predatory way. It also happens quite organically

And Meteors and meteorites.

Yes, and I have. I’ve historically chosen places where I had a human connection. Someone to show me around and introduce me to the place.

Don’t currently have that 💁‍♂️

Oh, cheese on the noodles?

I like it.

Run for office as a republican

Or get ordained.

Likewise… I’m overboard on the computers…

Currently have a gaming PC, an office PC, a laptop, a server, a NAS and three android devices.

Oh well, they’re all doing a job even if I would be fine with less.

Jenova was called the “calamity from the skies” by the ancients, back when she first crashed down!

You’re well on your way to a proper hive there

If you’re going to end your sentences with “lol” you don’t also need to say that you’re Gen Z. One or the other will do. 😏

I agree your original point stands, regardless of the timescales involved.

The invention of the smart phone did make international travel less intimidating, even if some of the functions took a while to appear.

I’ve heard of both unusable-ass websites and unusable ass-websites.

Each generation wants to know why the next is getting it so wrong!

Its mostly good news on that front, from a psychology point of view. Perhaps the best lens is to use developmental models to answer your question, though I will say the assumptions in your question are only partially true. Your own experience might be giving you the impression it’s “most”

If we consider developmental needs, child take a long journey from being totally dependant at birth to being totally independent, usually by their early twenties on average.

Individual stories vary but one part of that process of individualization is pushing back and creating friction between the existing power structures and themselves.

It’s why teenagers are so famously, and seemingly, unnecessarily hostile especially to parents and authority.

Its a short answer to a complex question, does that give you something to go on?

Its a part of growing up, happens in every generation, even if it looks a bit different each time

I’m a psychotherapist. And I train others in the field too, from entry to degree level.

I dunno. I switched careers 10 years ago, and I have some good years and some bad years for my income but I still love it and wouldn’t want to do anything else.

A proper “I’d still do this if I was rich” job. Still, I really do need and appreciate time off from it to recharge.

I was warned it’s easier to burn out doing something you love because you won’t want to stop even when you can, and it’s true.

Are under estimating how many people are interested in that?
