Most zoomers will have gen X parents.
That explains why they're so fucked in the head (and finances)
Why do you people just have zoomers living rent-free in your heads?
we're old, our lives are over.
life begins elementary school and ends in high school.

I used to think this, but in retrospect, my hs days were shit, and I'm having much more fun at 26. The only shit thing is balding. It sucks.
it feels just like yesterday when the media is bullying millenials.
now its your turn, zoom zoom.
the "[x] still lives with their parents" shit shows how out of touch boomers are at all points in time - the economic ability to buy a house or move out (comfortably) gets harder with each generation and barely anyone inherits some house anymore

I love posts like these because I enjoy the crass mockery of others' inane activities.
Wasn't it mostly "le boomers" at those protests against the lockdowns?
You know, before the other "mostly peaceful protests" where entire city blocks were burned to the ground and countless businesses looted and burned and countless American flags and statues burned by antiamerican communist cells.
nigga you don't go outside, who are you trying to fool
>too afraid to type "nagger"
Ironic
They can't afford to live anywhere else
Who cares, I worked in IT long enough to know nobody knows how to work computers, even though they've been using one form of Windows or another for 30 years - literally their entire careers, and not know where the Start menu is.
This, why should anyone learn to use an FS? I only do so for software development.
Npcs in administration for example need to work with files all day. Would be useful if they would learn how to use a filesystem at school.
Cool story bro.
>not know where the Start menu is.
this is UNIRONICALLY LITERALLY true

>stealing
What are you talking about? I'm gen Z and most people I know who are zoomers (normalfags) have adblockers and shit installed
Most people are retarded when it comes to computers. My old instrumentation tech teacher didn't know about uBlock Origin.

mom said it's my turn to repost that picture
Every millennial I know adblocks, pirates, or has been sold on the VPN meme. Zoomers got their values from the gen x that reared them.
The problem is those gen x were supposed to be the rebel generation but they bought into society because the money was there, and took the millennials last bite.
Zoomers were raised by people who think the world will never burn, because it's never failed them. That is why their criticism of society is so hollow, it's about clout and an in group, not actually believing corporatism has valid problems.
>why are zoomers so opposed to adblockers and piracy
Cause they grew up under the extremely moralist americuck/internationalist propanda for all their life, most zoomers are scared of being cancelled and for good reasons cause it happense all the time, their defense mechanism is to conform.
Not all zoomers are like this, I've met a couple of based zoomers on Tor that were into privacy, security and linux so there is a minority of rebel zoomers, with this said their culture is inherently self-repressive, conformist and all of their anger is carefully misdirected into bullshit causes that go against their interests like nu-civil rights and global warming.
We need to funnel their anger(and there's a lot) into the right causes and against the right enemies like the corpos and organization that oppresses/censors/control them.
>Zoomers were raised by people
Wrong zoomers were raised by the state propaganda and by youtube autoplay, they basically had no parents.
>why do you care?
If zoomers do not get into piracy there will be noone to keep it alive in the future.
We HAVE to make it cool, this is an existential threat.
You define yourself a millennial but your reasoning is typical "I got mine fuck you" shortsighted boomer behavior.
Change comes from the new generations, you are a retard if you don't get it.
>over time it's gotten easier
Cause there are people to put the work in it, you think it happens with magica?
>a golden age of piracy
More like it will fade into nothingness cause nobody will care.
>Cause there are people to put the work in it, you think it happens with magica?
lmao. no, it happens from people like me who develop tools to make it easier for ourselves.
>More like it will fade into nothingness cause nobody will care.
piracy has existed for as long as paying for media has existed. it will continue to exist forever.
the more exclusive the group, the lower the probability of detection.
if YOU think it's faded into nothingness, it has reached the perfect level of exposure and is invisible to retarded normies like yourself.
>this is an existential threat
to pure leeches like yourself, yes. i'm happy with this. bye!
>typical "I got mine fuck you"
i prefer it to your zoomie-ass "gimmie gimmie gimmie" mindset
Braindead retard
Humanity kept moving forward because there were people willing to share knowledge. Your mentality is literally going against millenia of evolution, I guess that's to be expected from old farts with brain rot. Die
100% leech mentality. everything you need to pirate effectively is out there to be found. it's not hard. it's easy. zoomies think it's unethical. that's fine, i'm not going to forcibly redefine their ethics, that's their problem and their parents' fault. the side effect of them all being paypigs is only good for me. i'll be here when some of them wise up.
pretty rich for the talentless mooch (that's you) to be calling me brainrotted though lmao. i bet you've never done a thing in your life worth another person's mention.
I have to side with
on this one. DRM and other such anti-tamper bullshit is just going to keep getting more sophisticated regardless. If more zoomers aren't into piracy, that's fewer people who will potentially want to be rebellious and crack it themselves. You're correct that too much awareness is also a problem, but there still needs to be effort put forth to teach enough people that they'll carry the torch. Also, in my experience, a lot of zoomers don't pirate due to illiteracy and fear, not because of ethics.
>DRM and other such anti-tamper bullshit
is developed in direct response to the popularity of piracy. businesses will not spend gobs and gobs of money on a problem that affects too small a percentage of their possible sales. advanced DRM bullshit skyrocketed when normies figured out how to torrent.
>Diskless consoles
>Push to DRM ridden streaming
>Possibility of abuse of Microsoft Pluton
>Most phones not rootable by default
>Steam no longer supporting older OSes despite the games being compatible.
>Windows 11 arbitrarily not supporting CPUs with TPM 2.0 by default for no good reason.
They don't just wanna fuck pirates at this point. Corpos wanna tell everyone how to use what you're supposed to own.

wasting life lazing around and not getting laid
>Sexting among adolescents has grown in prevalence

>the prevalence of allergies among adolescents and young adults in Generation Z is greater than the general population

>there is greater awareness and diagnosis of mental health conditions, and sleep deprivation is more frequently reported. In many countries, Gen Z youth are more likely to be diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and psychiatric disorders than older generations
literally mindbroken
>spending more time on electronic devices and less time reading books than before, with implications for their attention spans, vocabulary, academic performance, and future economic contributions
idiots that will be the final trigger to end all nations.
it's over..
>not having sex or doing drugs is... LE BAD
>are more likely to be diagnosed with intellectual disabilities
heh
>literal failures by genetic design
Most allergies are acquired. That's not genetics.
guess which generation bestowed all these problems upon us
They dont even teach typing in school anymore... My (19yo) brother types with both index fingers.
As a military brat, every elementary school I went too taught typing but never at the grade level I was in.
I type with my left index finger and right middle finger.
t. mid-to-late twenties
>never used spongebob typing to learn how to type
poor anon
typing skills does not always correlate with computing skills. even seasoned programmer like Carmack stills type hunt n peck at sub 50wpm even though he writes codes pretty much his whole life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydyztGZnbNs
wpm is meaningful if ur a codemonke
Steve Jobs could have saved John Carmack from this
>John next told Steve point blank that the iMac mouse “sucked.” Steve sighed and explained that “iMac was for first-time computer buyers and every study showed that if you put more than one button on the mouse, the users ended up staring at the mouse.” John sat expressionless for 2 seconds, then moved on to another topic without comment.
>After the meeting ended, I walked John to the Apple store on campus (this was before there were actual Apple stores) and asked him on the way what he thought of Steve’s response to the mouse comment. John replied, “I wanted to ask him what would happen if you put more than one key on a keyboard.
Adding to
, I have enough muscle memory to do my hen peck typing without looking at my keyboard but my WPM is slow as balls
I touch type with my left hand on the right keys, but only my right pointer for the rest. It works out because qwerty is incredibly left-biased
why do you care? i'm an older millennial who will literally never stop blocking ads and pirating. over time it's gotten easier when new adblock and piracy tech drops... and harder when a bunch of people start doing it because it's so easy and a response occurs.
if new generations find it ethically reprehensible because they've fully deep-throated the cocks of corporate media, it eliminates the surge in popularity automatically over time. as the majority of the consumer base avoids blocking ads and avoids pirating things, it will not be economically viable to spend money on prevention for those of us that do.
a golden age of piracy is about to dawn once again, for those of us willing to bask in it. it will be funded by mindbroken children, and will continue until society wakes up to realize how morally corrupt the entire concept of advertising and marketing is (so, forever, lmao)
I did my part. I taught my cousin how to torrent.
How cute is he?
I'll always blame the parents yep
israeli propoganda
>for not instilling better values?
Zoomers are very obedient to their moms and dads (streamers). So if streamers say bark, zoomers bark. If streamers say adblock bad, zoomers say adblock bad.
>zoomers (are) opposed to adblockers and piracy
do you have a single fact to back that up?
babe wake up
new old man seethe just dropped
Do they not have computer classes in america?
Cause we've had here in South Africa for 20+ years now
That folder shit is America only. I frequently talk to teacher and they deny it.
