Social media

I just noticed you said "our" current generation, as if you were in it.

No, I'm still a youngin'

But isn't gen alpha only like 15 or something? I think you are completely misunderstanding me. You wrote:

It is literally scary how stupid our current generation is.

That gave me the impression you were talking about your generation.

By the current generation, I meant Gen Alpha.

Gen Alpha??? Like how the heck old are you? Period...

Yeah I was beginning to think he's 12, or maybe we are in the "Who's on first" skit. But if he can make pizza like that at 12 he's a culinary Doogie Howser.

Nah, Puggles is more pleasant than Sheldon and way more laid back. Sheldon is neurotic and has a stick up his ass. And Sheldon can't cook.

Most I ever did was chat with Ennio Morricone, God rest his soul, on myspace way back a million years ago. For those that don't know he was mostly the composer for the spaghetti westerns, think Clint Eastwood, for Sergio Leone.

Spaghetti Westerns

Never heard of him…

I, for the most part, don't like social media, but I absolutely loathe TikTok; it is pure brain rot. It is literally scary how stupid our current generation is. Also, I think if most of the people who use it had actually read the ToS, they would run away screaming from it. It's nothing more than a Chinese spy tool.

The typical so called social media is all little more than brain rot and a very lazy way to do things. Whoever devised the name "SOCIAL Media" needs to learn the definitionof "Social".

As for that ToS thing being a spy tool - that's exactly what google and microsucks is as well .......

I don’t have Facebook, TikTok, X, Reddit, I must be living in the Stone age, haha.

The ONLY media I have are forums which have a particular purpose - modelling, cooking etc, not some wanna be telling everyone that they painted their toe nails .............

As for the Gen A B C D's and so forth - I'm not a letter, I'm a person and I don't need to be catergorised thanks

Well the forums are social media to an extent, though on a small scale and better protected.

Yes, CookingBites is social media. There are some really good things about social media and some very dark and evil things (and consequences).

I think we will all be watching with interest the progress and outcomes of the recent legislation in Australia.
