>>1664108Zoomers really lack the ability to think critically; either this is because of their education systems and xoomer parents failing them, or being raised on the internet. As if enjoying something critically or acknowledging it has its flaws isn't possible to them? Most of the time the "irredeemable media" they screech about also has like 2 released episodes and they're already crying about how it's portraying a kweer couple as
toxic and fetishising or something.

Millennial born in 1990 here, at 13 years old, the most obscene thing that happened was some guys would fidget with the t-shirts of the girls sitting in front of them at school until they managed to open the bra clasps to annoy them. And at a 14th birthday party there was some "guess who's kissing you while blindfolded" games and some other kissing games like that which I was mortified about enough never to tell my parents at that age.
Around 17 years old there was just one girl I knew in highschool who had sex frequently and she'd make fun of the guys on her graduation year that were according to her "All talk virgins", and I'm pretty sure she was right about 90% of them.

toxic, they used to list things they hated about themselves in group chats and shit like that. Plus, they're retarded, easy targets for groomers.

zoomers are beyond fucking repair when it comes to clothing in general. This down syndrome brain rot about brands is delirious and that goes without mentioning the lack of care about subcultures while trying to "be part" of one. The performativeness is deranged in that generation, wasting your money, time and useless youth on pretending to be I guess someone/something, I honestly don't know. And they're the absolute worse generation because they preach about being altruistic humanitarians while giving zero fucks about the pesticide soaked, slave labour that goes into making their all polyester wardrobe. Talentless, unimaginative and delusional bunch whose zeitgeist is being that, posers at best, wannabes at worse.

>>1667836>>1667789>>1667850one of the things i've seen more and more of on social media and youtube etc, that i've attributed to zoomer culture, are "guides" to certain niche subcultures or genres of music etc. it annoys me to no end bc why tf would you need a guide to get into a certain music genre for example? like i understand if you're already into the music and want more recs but these "guides" and "icebergs" or whatever are essentially just people enabling posers or just being posers themselves acting like they can speak with authority on topics they don't know shit about. it breeds a kind of attitude where you just gladly adopt the opinion of others without doing any kind of reflection or judging things for yourself. different online "reviewers" are also part of this problem imo. the result is that almost every opinion uttered by people nowadays is just a regurgitation of some essential chart top 10 yadayada.
while this behaviour is innately "anti-elitist" and poserlike, it paradoxically also encourages extremely categorical black and white thinking where everything and everyone needs to be registered as part of an aesthetic/vibe/core/genre. so despite the line between genuine and performative interest being totally blurred now, because every cultural phenomenon is so easily accessible on the internet due to the things mentioned above, zoomers also make it impossible to exist outside the box as an individual bc they force labels on everything.

>>16833901995 is definitely too early of a cutoff. I have a sibling about that old and there's a definite disparity between the media we absorb; I surely wouldn't call them a zoomer. There's still a millennial vibe about them—and that tracks seeing as they were 20 by 2015, which is just before peak zoomer culture so they didn't grow up with it, and used all of the old school websites like MySpace and Facebook the way we use TikTok and Instagram.

absorb a lot of TikTok culture from the cows that are posted about on the gossip boards and from the posts that are made here, either complaining about TikTok or otherwise. I'm also at university, so it's a bit harder to completely separate myself from zoomer culture.

Even when I was still in school and had more opportunities to connect with peers, I couldn't and I was bullied for that.
Some zoomers in my country do browse imageboards but it's a local moidboard with horrifying amounts of misogyny, much more than /r9k/ and wizchan could ever think of, so I can't connect with zoomer imageboard users either.

>>1683465I don't live in America or in the west in general, but zoomers where I live are kind of copycats of American zoomers because of tiktok. So every zoomer girl in my university is a fake alt girl with nirvana shirts, which is hilarious to me because if they knew what Nirvana lyrics stood for or what opinions Kurt Cobain held they'd flip out since the majority of people here are conservative and religious. The boys all have the ugly broccoli hair, but they're all too hideous, malnourished and disfigured for me to think it's a loss lol. Even their opinions and tastes in stuff are all based on whatever is trendy in America. They don't have a single original thought or belief or anything. I befriended more 'normie' girls in my university who are ultra religious and conservative because I'd take them over the cringy fake alt American copycats any time kek, despite being atheist in secret and having opposite opinions.
I dislike American zoomers as well but it's obvious why, same reasons as everyone else here. I don't really fit the zoomer category because of my personality and taste, I'm more boomer+gen x+millennial adjacent mostly. Even the shows I watched growing up were in black and white from the 50s and stuff from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s so I'm a mixed bag of all generations' trends and tastes and opinions.

There was an influx of zoomers at the small gym in my town. While everyone in the gym was minding their own business, the zoomers were staring at everyone as if they were at a zoo. I ended up going at different times just to avoid them. I also saw a lot of young girls in see-through leggings warming up in the middle of my small gym. The leggings made me super uncomfortable and they could've easily stretched in the locker room or locker room area where there's more space. But nop, just in the middle of people lifting weights. Not only that but they all did the exact same warm-ups for 1 minute only. I realized, through reuploads on Pinterest, that they were copying warm-ups they saw on Tiktok and instead of taking their time to warm up their muscles they apparently thought that warming up for exactly 1 minute was enough. So odd to see. They all also used the exact same machines and techniques and only did glute exercises and wore the same clothes (usually those booty-crack shorts or see-through leggings with an oversized white shirt that they would tuck into their shorts at the back). The guys were all the skinniest twinks ever with no respect for gym culture. None of them would sweat or pull weird faces during their work-outs and they all refused to use heavy weights for whatever reason (both the boys and girls). It was the oddest thing and not at all what i am used to. The majority of the male zoomers would also come in groups so they would treat it as a social event and were loud and obnoxious. I've seen some regulars leave the gym earlier than usual just because of that. Seems like a trend among zoomers that they can't follow the rules anywhere or respect anything, whether that be gym culture, forum culture, board culture, nothing. Although the majority of the girls seemed nice, they all seemed so incredibly insecure yet at the same time really wanted to be seen by everyone. I still don't understand zoomers or what their end goal is. They seem extremely vapid and without purpose.

>this fixation and importance put on the different generations is dumbbut I just think having it start at 2000 makes more sense in an organizational way—it is a nice, round number, and the first year to begin with the number "2" in the common era
contrary to popular belief, the first year of the 21st century/3rd millennium was actually 2001, and not 2000, but I didn't want to be technically incorrect by stating 2000 as the first year of the 21st century. 1997 is just a weird number. In any case, "generations" are typically about 15-20 years long, and if the millennial generation began in 1980/81, then 2000 could make sense as an ending point. The boomer generation was also about 20 years long, although it coincided with a particular demographic change rather than an arbitrary cut-off point made by demographers.

As a 29 yr old millennial I love zoomers so much I’m sorry. When people say they were born in the wrong generation now I know what they mean. I would’ve been so popular if I was born 4 years later. Everything I liked as a kid it took 10 years after me forcing myself not to like it for it be mainstream. Anime, Kpop etc. which means the zoomers were looking up to us millennials this whole time. I think that’s cute. Everything they liked is just stuff we liked they just made it cool and milennials are salty because WE never made it cool because back then only other chronically online millennials were online. Now everyone is chronically online so it’s much easier for what zoomers stake claim in online to be their thing now and hit the mainstream at a much a rampant rate. That’s why anime and Kpop took off so much with this generation. Even though it was wildly popular online since the early 00s you just had to know what forums to go on.
I get it, it pisses me off going into hot topic and seeing anime merch I would’ve killed for 15 years ago or your science teacher knowing what the latest kdrama was about. But we didn’t get that we were called losers do our special interests and shamed into hiding it into adulthood. Zoomers don’t feel shame for their special interests and don’t care if you make fun of them for it. I think THAT is where the true hatred stems from us millennials cared too much about what society thinks of us. While zoomers care about what chronically online people think of them. Zoomers catered to the chronically online’s sensibilities And are reaping the benefits. Meanwhile us millennials largely catered to society’s sensibilities not realizing society is fickle in nature and is conformist af! If we just stayed true to ourselves the zoomers wouldn’t stake claim on our shit and do chronically online better than us

>>1688630School system too. The "no child left behind" (I think???) Or whatever that weird law is called where if a child gets hurt by a bully both the bully and child are punished, completely fucked up zoomers morality scale, that's why so many of them rather scream about how they're right because they're being upvoted or something. Bullying and harassment is okay now because the opposing side will be punished anyway so might as well fight whoever you want for any reason since you'll both be wrong and you can easily turn around and cry "well he boolied me that's why we are both punished". Also seems like why so many of them can't seem to argue without strawmanning/taking things out of context since nobody cared or corrected them so they actually think other people cannot see what they're replying too and see how bad of a strawman they made
Unforgivingness also comes from school systems not just for the reasons mentioned above but punishment, while lighter, follows you way more. I got suspended for sleeping in class (which I found out was actually connected to a medical issue) now I have to basically explain this to most major universities I apply to even though it was almost a decade ago. Punishments follow you forever, failing a single class will now likely mean you have to take an extra year to get your diploma where as back then you had more leeway/less credits to need so it wouldn't matter if you failed one class, stricter grading systems like 66%s in my school were Fs and you only could score 96%+ to get an A, which is basically only one question wrong if that. They're taught every little mistake can and will fall you forever therefore they enforce it on other people

>>1688271>>1688294agreed, while there was technology there were limits to what was possible i think. obviously there were people who were completely unsupervised with internet in the late 90s/early 00s, but i distinctly remember only being allowed on the computer for an hour a day and while I did have a phone it was a "dumb" phone that had limited text/minutes so I could only use it if there was an emergency on my way to and from school. basically, i think a lot of the retardation comes from completely unchecked access

Apparently the whole "getting fired over bad vibes" thing is common??? It just seems like a loop hole for employers to fire someone for discrimination reasons while avoiding lawsuits. Kek I miss when I first started working and if I didn't like another co worker I just got told to suck it up and it's work and you can't just fire someone because Susan in accounting didn't like you. Imagine you now have to prepare the newer generations for the workforce and have to explain to them that even if you work hard, show up and do everything right you can be fired at last minute just because some mean girl didn't like you

>>1689310So in my situation, I contacted talent management with my old job after I was wrongfully fired and filed a claim for investigation into my separation. They agreed that the separation was obviously retaliatory, however they required that a legal professional negotiate with them on my behalf in regards to pinning down an actual amount, and did not speak with me until they received contact from my legal team.
Some HR offices may negotiate with you without a lawyer present, but my workplace did not. It’s different everywhere tbh. Also, if a lawyer is ignoring you, try using the website “Justia” to look for employment or discrimination lawyers in your area or surrounding area that you can meet with over the phone. It makes it way easier to just schedule an intake meeting.
If they’re not able to represent you because they aren’t able to do pro-bono/no funds have been paid, that is a different situation that I personally don’t feel qualified commenting on because I jus paid my legal fees on my own.

>>1688630I was rewatching episodes of this trashy Britbong show called Snog, Marry, Avoid the other day where they take people with an extreme freaky style (goths, emos, gyarus, mcbling bimbo types, etc) and there was this one woman on there who basically dressed like a scary clown. I remember she said something like "A lot of the time people mistake me for a tranny, but I don't care because I love trannies" and all I could think about what how she would get cancelled and called transphobic for saying that today even though she's far more of a "trans ally" for saying that than most libs. Your average libfem who posts 10 Instagram infographics a day screeching about trans rights would still go ballistic and cry if you told her that she looked like a tranny.
I also saw this video on one of those "crazy fight clips" Twitter pages (it might have been staged but it doesn't really matter) where this white kid overheard his hick step-dad call his black friend the n-word. The white kid screamed "that's MY n-word" and hit his step-dad in the face. At least half of the comments were calling the white kid a racist for saying the word. Are you fucking kidding me? This kid actually stood up to a racist and put him in his place, something that very few white liberals can say, and they were still reprimanding him for not doing it in a PC way when they don't even have the balls to tell Crazy Uncle Johnny to stop spewing Nazi rhetoric over the dinner table at every family reunion.

To contribute at least a little, my biggest complaint about zoomers is TikTok, because having a conversation with people who have a TikTok addiction is insufferable, because they just repeat the same three phrases over and over again, and you can barely have a conversation with them sometimes. It's just trendy phrases.

I went back to my hometown after the pandemic and now it's some weird metal Scandinavian depressioncore abomination with those black plastic mats underneath. It's not even that they're plastic mats but they too are black and depressing. The new toys on the playground aren't even the normal swings, slides, see-saws and so on, it's a metal pipe, two metal pipes with grates on either side of the playground that you can speak into so it's like a telephone, some weird ass see-saw thing made of car tyres that you stand on and a pipe next to it that you hold onto, a giant metallic globe, and some metal hoops like pic related but bare metal.
They look like some nepobaby art student's modern art exhibition and not a playground for kids.

>Did I miss where she has a shopping mall at her school to buy new clothes every day so she doesn't have to wash them? girl what? do you really think the person struggling to spend 18$ on laundry is going to be blowing money on clothes constantly? the $5 dress thing sounds like an emergency situation rather than just a frequent thing

There are problems with a fast food restaurant having a playground (like uncleanliness and creating future 600 pound people) but at least it’s something cheap for parents to take their kids to have some fun and meet other kids. I don’t even see toy stores anymore, unless you count the adult nerd stores that sell “collectible” shit.
Also zoomers and gen alphas toys now are just all surprise gacha shit. Every toy is a marked up cheaply made piece of plastic wrapped in 10 other layers of plastic, and if you don’t get the one you want you need to buy 20 other ones to get it. Such a retarded predatory trend, only creating more future mindless consumers. Happy meal toys weren’t even completely like that, you could always ask the employees to swap the toy out for one you wanted!

>>1693673>She's "struggling" by drowning in a puddle.so glad rich nonnas whos parents hand them everything can tell a woman who works 100+ hour weeks doing blue collar work she's not actually struggling because laundry is too expensive for her and she can't find the time to do laundry by hand, plus from what I've seen girls who need to live on their own while in school are typically escaping
abusive situations, way to go anyway fuck her stupid little millennial self I guess
>>1693667This would be a good option if the anon has the time (plus the commute), and the volunteer program doesn't highly monitor everything. If it's possible just go to a dorm, another complex, or hotel that offers free laundry and there's laundrylove programs

I use to think like the other anons too until I watched roommates be in that situation, almost every second of your day is dedicated to trying to make money, it's laughable they think an anon struggling to spend $20 is going to go blow thousands monthly on clothing just because "she didn't want to do laundry". Surely someone who was that lazy wouldn't own a small machine nevermind even try to do laundry in the first place (how she knew price and size of machine)
>>1693693Moral high horse for sure, they like getting the power trip out of being "smarter" than everyone else but don't understand it's because they were never actually put in that situation at all. I'd like to see them work hundreds of hours weekly with almost no money left for laundry coming in ranting about how the stupid lazy cunt should just scrub everything with her hands

>>1693721If school was part of the time sink, why not just either quit if you literally can not live while attending school at the same time, or drop class load at the expense of having to be in school longer. You don't have to take a full class load all at once for college/university.
No. 1693951

No. 1693958
>>1693953>>1693949The point was anon couldn't do basic chores required to live and work because of time, so sacrifice time doing 1 thing, schooling as adult schooling hours can be selected by the student via course load selection so you don't have to complete a certain amount of classes at once, granting anon more time for work + laundry etc, things more necessary to living.

>>1693990I'm still stuck on the fact her apartment laundry is $20/load for small loads. that's easily well over hundreds monthly, it may not make sense but if you have 15 bucks in your bank account yeah you're going to get some cheap clothes from the thrift shop for 2 bucks a piece, totalling $6 to hold you over until you can do laundry. Anons telling her to just wash clothes may not understand when working THAT much you go home, feel dizzy and about to pass out. You are physically unable to do more chores even if you wanted to.
imo we should just be giving the anon advice on how to hack the laundry machine, sign a petition for her apartment to lower the price of laundry, etc. But anons are too fucking obsessed with trying to instil shame in poor struggling people than they are with holding authority accountable for preying on desperate people for basic needs

>>1694000most laundromats use Speed Queen, they're quite easy to replicate since they all have circle keys

I'd bet she probably uses every last bit of free time for homework, etc and sleeping less will probably completely diminish what little energy she even has in the first place. I think they also said 100+ hours a week which can likely hold over for even longer
as far as roommates go that does make sense but of course we are not completely sure of anons situation. If you're a woman looking for roommates finding safe ones is almost impossible especially if you live in a city that's mostly moids.

If I thought every single poor person had the same life experience I'd just tell them to do the exact same I did and then say it's their fault for not working hard enough or whatever else. Working hard and studying does give you an edge but most of the time it will not get you out of poverty and most poor people aren't taught the very first thing about how to actually better themselves and get out of it considering you basically have to become an entirely different person with a different mindset.

Pointing out someone may not have time to do a task that requires a lot of time isn't claiming it's oppressive, it's just basic logic

Pointing out someone may not have time to do a task that requires a lot of time isn't claiming it's oppressive, it's just basic logic>As for thrift anon still being here or not - 5 was just an estimate but she clearly hasn't been here for hours, it's just been that one anon obsessed with her and pretending like the rest of us anons are too stupid to read what she actually said>>1694276>Wahh wahh it's her!!

Meh I'm old and been on lolcow too long, it's typically an obsession thing when the other anon can't stand when they're wrong or blantantly humiliated themselves>>1694293>Laundry anons post was simply an easy target for infight addicts because it was easy to take out of context/seem ridiculous without any details. I'm sure there's similar stories that could also sound insane without context or hearing the opposers side, but ofc the anon only mentions the outside details with no explanation to paint her as stupid/selfish/lazy because it was just such an easy post to turn into an infightAnd you expect me to believe the ones defending their dumb post and reeing that everyone who expects them to do laundry is a privelleged psycho stalker (not all posts linked, just those ones) is not all the same person?

And if you're an anon in a similar situation and rather hand wash over anything else then so be it as well.

Higher metabolism and body needs burn more calories it’s why people with higher muscle density burn more when compared to someone who weighs the exact same in fat when at rest and doing nothing. You’re probably right though and a gain over 20th is probably a combination of increased appetite and the hormone levels causing some women to have a metabolism closer to menopausal women.

>>1698435Honestly the millennian hate against boomers seems new to me and something that came up when everybody got online. It also seems to be more of an US phenomenon. I cannot remember anybody from my teen years and later that had an avid hate against boomers. At best it was society in general or other millennials. I always conidered xoomers worse, they are more likely to attack you, more likely to be emotionally unstable and they are often jaded as hell for some reason. Maybe midlife crisis or hormonal things, no idea.
>I don't understand how these zoomer girls are getting so fat so young?I want to gain some weight so I don't get it either. Even fast food doesn't have much. A whole döner kebab (they are huge) has only 700 kcal which isn't that much because it's a full meal and you need MORE than 2000 kcal a day (as woman) to gain weigh. I like kebab and burgers but you would have to eat four kebabs a day to gain (or something else that provides ~2800 kcal), nobody even eats three a day, which would provide 2100 kcal, so not enough for men and barely enough for a normal-weighed woman to maintain status quo. And many are allegedly or actually overweight.
I honestly doubt that the numbers are even right, 2000 kcal seem like a lot considering that even huge stomach-filling fastfood cannot top the 700, or people hide something from me.

For me, going to the roller rink 4 times a month is cheaper than an Internet bill, and I also have an option of finding some used $20 skates and going on a local trail nearby to skate for free.

>>1699104>a lot of American food is filled with tons of hormonal disruptorsWhile hormonal disruptions might play a role and has also been correlated with cancer, the change from unprocessed to ultra-processed diet is by far the biggest factor in terms of obesity epidemic. Coincidentally a lot of micro-plastics containing hormonal disruptors stems from packaging of ultra-processed foods. Obesity has been steadily climbing since the 70s, coinciding with the accessibility of ultra-processed food, in Europe and Asia as well. Latin America is the most striking example (here’s one article investigating the correlation between UPF and obesity in Latin America
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2021.622714/full).
It's not just about big macs. UPF includes diet products as well, where usually fat is removed from the product to make it’s less caloric. Which means they need to add stuff in order to make the food palatable/recognizable as food. UPF usually has poor nutritional value other than carbs and fat, so ironically obese people are often also malnourished. Additives, particularly emulsifiers, has been shown to increase inflammation which might lead to auto-immune diseases. I believe a lot of health issues could be remedied by limiting UPF, and it’s also better for the environment. I recommend the book Ultra-Processed People if you are on the fence about this, but in short ultra-processed foods makes over consumption easier.

I don't "call" anyone fat or say they personally will get fat. But culture is different now and I see no signs that zoomers as a generation will be healthier. The boom of food delivery services is one indication that people aren't actually learning to cook better or teaching their kids to cook healthier options. Getting food delivered where I grew up was unheard of unless it was a rare order for pizza. Now many people order multiple times a week and believing that's normal. Granted my family was not well-off then, but I don't think my peers at school were eating magical delivery every night either.

Zoomers parasocial relationships with celebrities online are weird enough as it is, but seeing kids having “parasocial” relationships with celebrities who aren’t even alive anymore, and they also were not born yet to enjoy their music or presence while still with us is even weirder. Like dressing up as Selena and beating a piñata made to look like the woman who killed her isn’t going to make her smile down at you from heaven. Kids and their parents are getting more and more attention seeking in such negative ways.

>>1699662NTA but as others have mentioned a lot of Americans struggle to lose weight because we're literally being poisoned. I forgot her name but there was a famous playboy model who lived her entire life with an undiagnosed thyroid disorder and she literally had to starve for weeks in order to be am acceptable weight (not even super skinny mind you, just acceptable)
They also put a lot of addictive chemicals in food + prescribe medications that can fuck with your bodies natural ability to tell when you're hungry or not. You don't have to be on Americans side or whatever but it's ridiculous to deny there's so many outside factors causing obesity outside of just le ebul gluttonous Americans

>>1699743>it's ridiculous to deny there's so many outside factors causing obesity outside of just le ebul gluttonous AmericansNta but while I agree with this take, and I understand your American distrust of muh government, there is no grand conspiracy where they are adding dangerous chemicals to your food in order to poison you. The food industry uses additives in order to make food more palatable, stable under transport and because it cheapens production. This problem is also no longer unique to the US. Ultra-processed food is increasing obesity rates globally and you will soon be surpassed by Chile as the world's fattest country.
No. 1699790
>>1699743Yup. I love that
>>1699765 mentioned
ultra-processed foods and not just saying processed. Literally almost all food is processed unless it’s raw.
It’s also the infrastructure…some people literally live in food deserts so they only a gas station and a Family Dollar (no fresh fruits and vegetables like ever) but if you don’t live in a food desert, it’s lack of education on how to even shop for food (stick a pin in that I’ll talk about that in a moment)…everyone in the US drives everywhere even in cities bc of the mindset that public transportation is for
le poors. Not to mention high fructose corn syrup
in everything bc of government subsidies that are from the Great Depression Era (like almost 100 years old).
Add that with the fact that many people don’t know how to cook at home or even grocery shop frugally anymore bc of the US education system cutting Home Economics out of public schools and you have a recipe (no pun intended) for disaster.
Of
course fruits and vegetables are expensive when buying out of season. When I lived in Germany and Japan
everyone bought in season (unless it was a special occasion). Convenience foods are always more expensive no matter where you live.
I could go on and on but I digress. It’s a shit show.

yes you can learn the skills online with youtube, but most people are so busy and it takes even more discipline to learn from the ground up on their own. the best time to learn skills is in youth when you aren't working fulltime and already running a household. boomers also got rid of all our walkable areas, public transit, affordable housing, and farmland. the peach orchards i grew up with were bulldozed for boomer mcmansions. now all our produce is imported from chile and argentina and tastes awful. a selfish, lazy generation ruined the entire country. they filled the food with corn syrup because it's cheap, and then people started ballooning.
and zoomers are just the same as boomers. why mend your clothes when you can throw them away and buy more on shein, why fix something when you could buy a new one, why cook when you can doordash. zoomers are boomers 2.0. anything millennials achieve, the zoomers will dismantle for their own selfish purposes.

No bitch, having no money left after buying an iphone pro, gucci and 500 kilos of food doesn't mean you are poor, you are just skewing the perception of actual poverty and making reasonable people believe that poor people were always idiots.
But politicians and tv celebrities make like a million so how should they know that there are people that can literally only pay for rent and electricity and no food.
That said, rich fags are just as monkey-brained for spending 5000 on a crappy hat or bag that looks like shit and is of a lower quality than a generic bag from a sports store. Brandfags in general are dumb as shit.

>Idk why people are trying so hard to deny the fact there's something wrong with our food rather insisting all americans are too stupid to live and binge McDonald's dailyI swear you are this close to getting it. There is something wrong with the food; it’s ultra-processed junk. All countries show the same pattern of their population’s weight increasing as ultra-processed food becomes more widespread. UPF has been shown to
trigger auto-immune diseases and allergies. One cause of this that’s been studied are additives called emulsifiers. Emulsifiers have been compared to eating soap (they are chemically similar to soap). They will literally "wash" away part of your stomach lining, making your gut more susceptible to inflammation. Pretty much all UPF contains emulsifier, they are added to make food more stable and to keep oils from separating to improve texture. It's not a conspiracy, it's cost-efficiency, but it means your food IS wrong. Eating whole foods can also make you fat, but the epidemic increase of clinical obesity world-wide is caused by UPF.
I’m on your side here, I also don’t think all Americans binge on McDonald’s daily, but UPF includes low-cal products and diet foods as well. One definition of UPF is food containing anything you wouldn’t normally find in your kitchen cabinet.

I also don't think weight loss is impossible when you have thyroid or hormonal conditions. Like I previously mentioned, I take thyroid medication for an issue I have that had caused me to be morbidly obese for most of my life. Once I took the medication regularly, I lost a good amount of weight but was still obese. Once I addressed my poor eating habits and replaced the sugary drinks with water and took long walks every day, the weight started disappearing so fast I barely had time to get new clothes. I was able to reduce my dosage for my condition due to my lifestyle change as it naturally regulated some of the hormonal issues.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with recommending people to eat healthy and exercise, why is that suggestion always met with so much vitriol? Nobody is telling you that your diet is the sole cause of your weight problems, but to deny that it's 80% of it isn't doing yourself any favors

Gen z teenagers are so retarded when they want to be taken seriously. No, it's not just the casual autistic moments of not understanding sarcasm sometimes. I've seen these teenagers straight up not realize that the bombing of Hiroshima was a real event, that the Spanish "poc" language is a European (white) one, or even care to understand basic the anatomical and psychological differences between women and men before they run off and preach half-baked takes that are coated in low IQ. Even though education is seemingly better than it's ever been in the last fifty to one-hundred years, it still feels like Gen z teenagers are painfully uneducated about even the most basic things. It would be more forgiving if they admitted that they simply didn't know or understand a lot of things, but they always act like they know and understand everything more than any other generation ever has. Ffs, even when you hear these naive, teenage LGBTQABCD+- "activists" talk about the exaggerated "suffering" of faggot males and trannies, 90% of them are gonna tell you that the Stonewall fire was this bloody, violent, terrifying, holocaust-rivaling event, even though nobody there was even fucking killed KEK

>>1705149Context: I'm not from the USA, there's a family I know who partially lives in the USA and partially here, their kid is homeschooled and is enrolled in a online school, so his education is mainly done on his ipad. I have "tutored" him before, because he's like 7 yo and no 7yo would take their horrible online classes without someone watching over them.
I am super against homeschooling and here in my country it is basically inexistent, so I found it unsurprisingly shit, but it also made me very cynical about the use of technology in education. I guess some parents now think "well you can do everything in a computer/tablet, everything is on the internet", so children won't have books around and things like that to explore and I really have come to believe that is horrible for their development. When I was a child one of my favourite books was about the solar system, but no young child is going to search "solar system"on google because obviously you don't know what you don't know. I was a bit surprised with how bad his reading and writing skills are, but I 100% blame it all on the way his schooling is, I highly doubt he has a learning disability, he's very normal and even very sociable, wich is a shock considering he's homeschooled. So, yeah, I guess my point is that I totally believe homeschooling and technology are fucking students up even if there's nothing wrong with them. That being said, he is a literal kid and gen alpha. I think the youngest zoomers are about 13? And at that age I'd be completely filled with dread if I was performing really bad at school and worried about not being able to enter a university. So I dunno if it's just a cultural difference or if there are other factors to why these kids are so bad, like being from socially vunerable areas.

And they'll retort with something like, "akshully it's a privilege and colonialism to expect me to be able to write," because they've been taught word salad and hysteric accusations of -isms is how you win an argument and get your way.
Handwriting notes actually helps in knowledge retention. Zoomers will never learn any skill worth knowing if they can't even write by hand legibly. Which means they're in for a career of being a minimum wage floor-sweeper like the 'tards. Millennials were an overeducated generation, but we won't have that problem with zoomers. College degrees will be the next to become worthless after high school diplomas and it's already happening.

Parents and teachers always have this idiotic perception on what a gifted child looks like. They think it's just being more quiet than the other kids, and getting decent grades in school even though that can mainly be chalked up to how much they studied. These kids are hyped up and glorified by the adults around them, and it gives lots of them the impression that they really are incredibly smart. But then they leave high school, meet places like university, and realize that their basic means of understanding topics are too now too slow and ineffective, and that they are not as "on top of things" as they thought they were. 90% of "gifted" kids are literally just normal kids who were led to believe they are more intelligent for superficial reasons, and it's not even their fault. It's the parents and the teachers who create this image for them, unknowingly setting the kids up to feel like fools when advanced environments give them a reality check on how smart they really are. Shit's sad. That's why I don't like it when parents or teachers call children genuises, gifted, special, or whatever when they're still just kids.

>>1706241I’m a 1990 millennial and I’ve been online a lot (I thought?) but I’ve never once seen those phrases used sincerely, only to make fun of slang and joke around

>>1706221Hecking pupperino is exclusively a Reddit thing, I don't even know why it's attached to millennial culture overall. Everyone made fun of it even back when it was popular. Millennial cringe to me is more pic related, "do the thing", Sarah Andersen and other smol bean type shit. Which is exactly the same as "eepy", girl dinner, capybara, the oh no song and other awful things that spawned in recent years.

>>1706265Boomer humor is genuinely so different from anything the internet generations spawn except maybe the minion memes on Facebook, but only sometimes. This was apex Tumblr Adventure Time-era humor, pic related is another example.

i just wish i had learned when i was younger that being good at school has little bearing on intelligence at all. you can be good at school and get a degree and be an idiot, and you can have little interest in school and be a full competent and intelligent adult. its fucked how teaching implies otherwise

>>1706308You really took the words out of my mouth, and made them even funnier kek. But I also hate that zoomers are so quick to think something is wrong with them. There are endless times I've heard teenagers and younger kids diagnose themselves with things like ADHD just because they're bored in class. Why do zoomers WANT to have problems like mental illnesses? Are they bored with the idea of being normal? Is it because of the
victim olympics they have created amongst themselves? Is it because of parents not understanding their own kids and thinking their toddlers have ADHD for just being kids? Zoomer teenagers seem to think they can bypass any professional intervention for a real mental health assessment and just armchair diagnose themselves with things like BPD, ASPD, OCD, or DID just because they watched Girl Interrupted and want to be a "girlboss". This used to be considered offensive on behalf of people who actually have such disorders, but now zoomers genuinely think they can be and do whatever they want in the realm of diagnosis just because "all means of discovering yourself is
valid". I wish people that truly have schizophrenia, DID, ADHD, or autism grouped together and gave these zoomers a synchronized "fuck off". Especially when zoomers think they can gatekeep and bully actually mentally ill people from their own disorders just because they won't validate the zoomer's delusion that they have "demi-PTSD" from a bird shitting on their pancake.

>>1686076I know this is old as hell but kek you just reminded me of how zoomers were crying about people sexualizing Marin from the ecchi anime My Dress Up Darling and wanting to "save her" from the show producers like she's a real teenager being sexually exploited by this ebyl corporation. And yes, they still watched and supported the show which is all about sexualizing this girl. Wtf do zoomers smoke kek.
The cognitive dissonance they have just about any topic (consumerism/"ethical" shit also comes to mind) while attacking others for doing the same shit they do is what enrages me the most about gen z.
