true, but my in-laws graduated about 40 years ago so their secrets are buried in the past

It’s #3 he doesn’t get, not sentence 3. In another comment he mentions believing that accidental pregnancies never happen in his country.

What is so hard to understand? A ton of pregnancies are accidental. You may be from a place that demonizes or covers it up, but it happens. Your lack of acceptance does not change the facts.

I didn’t mean to imply it was an ability issue, they are just unwilling to change lol, they don’t care about privacy. Classic “Well I don’t have anything to hide” fallacy.

I just get so annoyed whenever someone broadly says “god I hate the youth for being so dumb”, idiots come in all ages y’all

I got the same response from my 65 yo in-laws, it ain’t Gen Z

edit: I did not recognize the reference 🫠

Yes, I should have clarified, that’s why I put “both sides” in quotes.

I cycle through hobbies a lot (thanks ADHD), but currently reading is my favorite! Sometimes painting, or playing games (fallout, DnD, sims, LoZ, ACNH), watching tv (Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Our Planet atm) and movies (LOVING everything A24 rn), cuddling my cats, geeking out about nature/science things, fashion (I’m a maximalist!), and reorganizing my bookshelf. There have been a handful of other creative outlets I hop in and out of like sewing, knitting, and drawing, but they never stick.

You? I noticed you’re the one who made a couple new fashion communities recently, I love them! I love inspo albums but have no energy to make them myself (classic lurker issue).

That was a lot of parenthesis but I just smoked some weed so this is kinda stream of consciousness lol

Super cool! I wish they would explain how they realized it was popcorn specifically though. Not that I doubt their conclusion, I am just curious. To me, that picture looks like, well, weed, but also like normal corn-on-the-cob. Is popcorn-on-the-cob a thing?

Are you on mastodon? It doesn’t rely on an algorithm, so people feel free to post how they like instead of trying to tailor their posts to draw the most engagement. I’m still on the hunt for good YT and Instagram replacements, I know there are a few but I’ve been more focused on building up my lemmy/mastodon experience for now. I also joined an instance that avoids defederation as much as possible, so I will see more posts from a variety of viewpoints.

As for news/information, Reuters, PEW Research, and C-SPAN are my go-to’s. I recently discovered Improve The News, which I like quite a lot as it provides the perspective from “both sides”.

I still have more than enough content than I could ever consume in my life, even with eliminating click-bait. There are plenty of people with a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints that are able to convey their messaging without emotional manipulation, tons that I disagree with and/or that provide new perspectives. If you primarily use YouTube, I can see why you would think 99% of people do this, but it’s fairly localized to YT and similar sites.
