In all fairness Baldur's Gate 3 is a pretty damn good representation of 5th Edition combat and systems. Its not a 1 to 1 game but nor is it meant to be. The game needs to allow for crazy bs to happen and there are things the game engine either couldn't limit or wouldn't for the sake of fun.

We have the internet in front of us. You're basically asking something to Google for you. And it's going to get it wrong half the time.

There's a good portion of the population that sees the immediate results of an action and take that at face value. There's no foresight, there's no critical thinking, there's no future planning. There's only immediate consequences and that's all.

[harsh forum]

To be fair, and I'm really trying here, there is a chance the school systems will end up adopting things like ChatGPT. Similar to how calculators were handled in schools before. The point of schools not letting kids use them back in the day was that "we won't be walking around with calculators everywhere we go" and look how that turned out

Google doesn't give you a clear answer because those questions rarely have simple answers.

Listen despite it's track record for you personally so far I really highly recommend fact checking everything you get from ChatGPT

[proven lake]

Learning how to critically think is the point of those questions and you're failing the class.

You're getting the answer correct but you're not understanding why, nor are you understanding the nuance behind it.

[surreal forge]

why am i trying to reason with a 10th grader about the ethicality of using gpt lmao

[proven lake]

And on that measure alone you're failing.

[unkempt atlas]

I would recommend making a habit of double-checking the answers you get from AI, because it either gives a misleading answer or outright lies/hallucinates information

Honestly, I pray for the children learning in today’s world. Ugh. One day there may not be AI tools to help solve a problem and then what?

[steel pagoda]

I’m not failing tho cause my grades are very good and I’m never gonna have a job that uses science or history yk

[proven lake]

Critical thinking is a requirement to not be taken advantage of routinely. If you're okay with being actively exploited for what little value you can generate then by all means... continue to use AI to do work for you.

It will bite you in the behind later.

[surreal forge]

being dead set that you're always going to have a certain job is genuinely the perfect way to be disappointed in life

[harsh forum]

I think it's more likely AI is integrated into the school systems like my calculator example. It will probably get to a point where curriculum relies on it

[near breach]

It’s fun to learn and store as much as you can in that noggin of yours. Never know when you’re going to need to fix a part in your car yourself, or how to catch and clean your own food… etc

[pearl garden]

AI is a stand in for common sense or lack thereof but at least it’s not opinionated.

[proven lake]

You're right, you probably won't have a job in mathematics or history. But why are you so adverse to learning in general? What possible harm could it do to learn that information anyway?

[steel pagoda]

I know basic math and stuff like that it’s just when it gets to complex math I don’t get why I have to learn that

[harsh forum]

Again I'm not saying that's good. Just more of a reality than anything

You're not teaching yourself how to deal with adversity, that is a core trait that will really help you in life. Taking the easy route now could be detrimental to you in the end.

I really am. Lol 😝 they call me G.I Jac 🤣🤣🤣

[proven lake]

People don't seem to understand that these courses are considered "core classes" for a reason. You may not exclusively use one or another, but for example, as an IT Technician, I routinely recall things of historical value related to my job, and also utilize the scientific method to problem solve issues i face daily. Mathematics and reading are a daily use for me.

I use skills i learned in every core class in my job with computers.

[steel pagoda]

When I do college someday I won’t use chat gpt probably, so I can actually know the stuff cause that’s for a major u pick this school I do now is just what they gives u but in college I can pick the stuff I like yk

[proven lake]

I got $50,000 saying you turn to chat gpt after less than a week in college.

[surreal forge]

college requires prerequisites which involve all the basic courses most of the time

[tame seal]

By using chatgpt now, you're making it harder on your college years :/

[near breach]

You gotta learn and retain some of what you learn in high school to carry into college. If you’re relying on chatGPT for everything right now, how are you learning for college

[proven lake]

I've made my point, I won't change any minds today.

[proven lake]

Fail these classes at your own peril.

[daring silo]

I don't want to harass you on what you shouldn't shouldn't do in school.

But I will say this: college is a learning experience both in the academic and social parts of life. Balancing both is part of the puzzle and it's equally as important to figure out who you are and what you want in life while you're there.

Not saying that college is a requirement. Any social experience that causes you to develop more as a person is great.

[harsh forum]

And it's wild because the most commonly used ones typically are the worst

[daring silo]

It's kind of wild how much a teacher/professor can also change someone's perspective on a topic. I despised organic chemistry in my sophomore year at University. But I adored my physics class in my senior year. My professor was an absolute gem.

[near breach]

They had me taking AP chem my junior year and then my senior year I was taking AP physics and boy oh boy… we got into quantum physics and that made me wanna black out sometimes lol good thing my teacher was cool and we played Magic the gathering most days 🤣

[steel pagoda]

For college I get to pick my classes tho I think, so I don’t have to pick math or that stuff I can pick classes I like

[signal ocean]

that's like saying you went to the gym and used a forklift to move all them weights, so now you don't need to work out anymore

[daring silo]

Depends on the field of study and the university they go to. But I'd say 90% of the time you are correct

[steel pagoda]

Oh

with cosmetology you need chemistry and for that you need math

[steel pagoda]

[signal ocean]

the worst part about is, some of my colleagues will gladly feed a large language model a bunch of data and ask it to analyze it or summarize it, but readily admit it's making stuff up or making mistakes on subjects they're experts on. And somehow they don't question the fact it could be wrong about all these things they're not experts on!

Sometimes the lack of patience a teacher has makes it hard for the student to wanna learn and ask questions because the student then feels awkward or scared to ask. It sucks.

then you'll be making like 30k annually and relying on a roommate for 'independent living'

[daring silo]

The trick to success?

Easy.

Be born rich.

[near breach]

One piece of advice I need to give: try NOT to be a nepo hire lol

[surreal forge]

oml true

[steel pagoda]

What’s that

[surreal forge]

don't work with friends and family either lowkey

it'll get messy xD

[harsh forum]

I just thought I heard music but my ear was folded against my pillow what a cool realization when I moved my head

[proven lake]

You ain't gonna earn millions by being the child of a friend of your mom.

Millionaires being made does happen. But i guarantee it won't happen to you, the system is so unbelievably rigged against you that unless you're a trust fund baby you will never get there.

[near breach]

Someone who only gets a job because their family or friend got them the job.

[split schooner]

A lot if not most/all states require liscencing for those jobs and you have to go to school to get licensed.

[harsh forum]

Was hearing the ocean in my ear

[steel pagoda]

I worked at sonic with my brother for a summer but the manager was so mean we both quit

That’s sad tbh

I honestly miss working in food. I worked at a Jimmy John's throughout my entire time at university and that job was the best. My old boss's still text me for major holidays and birthdays.

[proven lake]

It is, but that's the reality we live in. If you're not born into it you will not get there unless you are a literal statistical anomaly.

maybe we'll get an ocean for water update

You can become comfortable and happy. You can still achieve some dreams and still do fun things and meet the best people in life.

Never? I wouldn't say never. But you need to understand and internalize that moving up the economic ladder (so to speak) is such a rare occurrence and it typically takes generations of good financial planning, growth, and purposeful direction to get there.

I feel GREAT

Cuz my peepaw in here 🥲

LA is a trash city and being happy doesn't take 200k

[near breach]

That’s my Peepaw too!!

[steel pagoda]

So basically it is only born rich or born not rich

[proven lake]

Correct.

Or you can marry into it.

[harsh forum]

Peepaw loves me more though he hits me less

[steel pagoda]

[daring silo]

combined with my partner we make ~45k and we're very happy, albeit a little limited

I can just marry rich guy Ty for the tip

Dylan you only started talking to peepaw more ever since you found out he’s rich and I’m in his will

It’s not about how much money you make it’s about how you spend it. People live their lives around what they want rather than what they need.

As I have been informed by 14-year-olds while playing Helldivers that "video games are meant for kids. Why don't you go do your taxes?"

[unkempt atlas]

IT'LL HAPPEN TO THEM

[daring silo]

It was July

My taxes were done

those fools

[proven lake]

Tell them "I already did, because I understand how. How's 8th grade going?"

[unkempt atlas]

they're kids, not like they know about taxes, it'll haunt them later

[surreal forge]

if video games are for kids why is it so fulfilling as an adult 💀 taxes suck

[steel pagoda]

What state tho if you don’t mind answering cause I know in Cali that would be harddd to live on

[near breach]

Same lol

[daring silo]

Actually the kid I was talking to was pleasant. He was remarkably intelligent for his age and was teaching his other friends how to play. He's going to grow up to be something great I'm sure.

[steel pagoda]

That was sarcasm i hope you're correct.

i've seen so many people do that lmao

[near breach]

Is asking chatGPT what your symptoms are the same as asking webMD? Because if anything, they could improve on the PANIC that ensues when you’re told that your headache is ass cancer

[proven lake]

I'm just under 50k and looking at buying a house soon! But I also spent over 12 years saving excess money into a savings account to afford a down payment.

[steel pagoda]

Yeah it’s possible you can do it on ur pc my dad said some ppl work from home after Covid

[daring silo]

I would recommend Reddit before either of those

[proven lake]

chatgpt is webmd modernized confirmed

[steel pagoda]

A chat gpt doctor would be horrible

[daring silo]

But usually I ask mynurse friends haha

[noble anchor]

But what if it is butt cancer??

[near breach]

starts fanning self and crying

Great that’s great I have no medical insurance and now I have ass cancer

[proven lake]

Why?

[pearl garden]

ChatGPT is cheaper than asking Dr Pill.

You use it for everything, why shouldn't they use it too

[daring silo]

We're sorry about your butthead cancer

[surreal forge]

hiiiighly unlikely to get a profitable at home job without first working in person to be fair - but also those people i mentioned have the types of jobs where they work in cali for like 2 months on, 2 months off, usually heavy industrial / trucking related

[steel pagoda]

Cause you’d probably kill somebody if you don’t know any of the info

[near breach]

Well… then ignorance is bliss

lol

[noble anchor]

Unfortunately I was born with it and it's not gotten any better.

[proven lake]

Doctors already do that without meaning too

Besides, if its good enough for your school work its probably fine for doctoring right?

[steel pagoda]

Ohh yeah that makes more sense but if you have to drive all the way to Cali for work that would suck if you live so far away

Alright everyone it’s been fun but vampire needs to go to sleep. TTYL 👋

[harsh forum]

Nighttttt

[unique frost]

ChatGPT, as it currently stands, will occasionally flub information in order to technically get itself to the correct answer. It happens to me when I ask it coding stuff. I would not trust it with medical diagnosis

[daring silo]

Oh look it's the man I look like

[proven lake]

Why?

[steel pagoda]

Les risk for getting a different job wrong

[unique frost]

One is schoolwork and the other is a person's health 👍

[near breach]

Make sure you take your Metamucil peepaw

[proven lake]

I mean why should a doctor put that kind of effort into your health? You clearly are adverse to doing the work they require you to do to stay healthy, why bother?

[daring silo]

I can't wait to hit up the casino later and just stare at the slot machine for 6 hours straight

[unique frost]

??? People are deciding to be sick???

[steel pagoda]

If you work in like teaching and you make a mistake in ur class saying the wrong thing you can fix that problem easily, if you’re a doctor and you make a mistake u can kill someone or worse so the risk is different

[proven lake]

No, but they actively ignore and refuse to do thingss their doctor recommends to stay healthy.

[near breach]

It’s funny because I work at a casino and that is 100% accurate

Okay okay, bye bye

Walk in with $5k. Walk out with 2 quarters and no car

[proven lake]

True, but you could easily do that yourself by accident without a doctor.

What's the difference really

[unique frost]

Sure, but just because the patient cuts corners does not mean a doctor should have cause to do the same

[steel pagoda]

I don’t have the materials for a cast if I broke my arm and idk where to get them so you’d have to go get it from the doctor

[proven lake]

Ahhhh, so you're saying doctors should be held to a higher standard and the people they care for don't need to actually listen to them

[surreal forge]

sticks and tape

[proven lake]

So why go to a doctor at all

[steel pagoda]

I don’t like touching sticks you’re hands will get dirty

[unique frost]

That's not what I said lol. I didn't say that people shouldn't cut corners. I said that they DO cut corners. You're putting words in my mouth bud.

But yes, doctors should be held to a pretty high standard, as they are responsible for the health of patients.

I don't think sanctimony means what you think it does.

Either that or I'm thinking of the wrong word.

[steel pagoda]

I haven’t seen the second one is it as good as the first?

[near breach]

I thought it was better than the first but they’re both amazing

[steel pagoda]

[pearl garden]

Old people love games too.

[quasi saffron]

I'm 30 and I feel old today.

[vale bronze]

wait being born in 94 still gives me the privilege to call myself a boomer right ?

[unkempt atlas]

gotta have something for the retirement home

[signal ocean]

yeah my mom is pushing 80 and she loved Loom back in the day

[tame seal]

You're only as old as you feel and everyone feels ancient soooooo.

[mellow copper]

I'm 30 and feel old too now.

[noble anchor]

I am old.

[smoky quail]

I woke up last year and got the achy joints and sore back. I dont like these new life dlcs

[steel pagoda]

“Games are for kids!!” Is what I say on Fortnite when someone kills me

🤣

[signal ocean]

[surreal forge]

i genuinely wish i could've waited til i was at least my current age before this started for me 💀 but it hit me at like 10

and has only gotten worse

[frank roost]

dannnggggg lol i just celebrated my 39th ---- i feel like I'm ancient and I'm just now hitting "middle aged" (I think?) still feel 20 inside though so that's gotta count for something right?! lol

[thorny mural]

[quasi saffron]

Feel that too.

[steel pagoda]

Yeah

[smoky quail]

Nope. I have shaved my head since I was like 14. My hair was thiiiiiick and I live in Texas. I was good without hair

[signal ocean]

sorry to hear

[surreal forge]

oh god

[signal ocean]

ah fair, I feel that having a tiny bit of hair when it's hot out is better than fully shaved

it insulates you a little bit

also your dome's a lot less sweaty

[smoky quail]

That's what the ball cap is for

[noble anchor]

I still love Loom. Great game.

[steel pagoda]

If your pfp is you, you literally look 20 or 19

[surreal forge]

[surreal forge]

[pearl garden]

https://tenor.com/view/im-in-my-prime-funny-ironic-age-old-gif-11480659

[signal ocean]

[steel pagoda]

[frank roost]

[signal ocean]

[sinful tartan]

[steel pagoda]

Chat gpt has Aura tho

[frank roost]

[barren hawk]

Less tiktok, more videos in the proper orientation of the computer monitors we all actually play the game on

[civic zenith]

#socials-feed message

[surreal forge]

we spent an hour on this earlier, it's too much trouble to go back

xD

[steel pagoda]

I know lol but I did actually wanna know why they couldn’t just use it for code I’m glad they explained

[frank roost]

awesome thank you!!!

[signal ocean]

that aura smells like a truck spot bathroom tho

[surreal forge]

hey that's an insult to truck stop bathrooms

[dull citrus]

That is a very specific smell

[surreal forge]

:c

[steel pagoda]

I mean positive aura pointssss

[signal ocean]

my apologies to all bathrooms in the chat

[surreal forge]

thank you

[steel pagoda]

It’s negative aura if you send a gif and it’s stays as a link

[quasi saffron]

I accept that apology

[signal ocean]

how could they know until they try that we've disabled them except for mods and helpers

bro's gotta try

[surreal forge]

aura is meaningless

[unkempt atlas]

they're hoarding the giffing permissions, its tyranny, join me in the resistance

[dull citrus]

How dare you.

[steel pagoda]

Still negative aura it’s like trying to push on a pull door

[quasi saffron]

Then I'd break the door

[dull citrus]

blows hippie vibes and must in Rei’s face

[civic zenith]

am i the only one who thinks this "new Aura" thing is just cringe?

[signal ocean]

that feels like a personal anecdote

[steel pagoda]

It not cringe

[dull citrus]

(I don’t know what that is lol i thought they were talking about people auras)

[surreal forge]

nuh those auras are chill

[steel pagoda]

It’s like throwing a piec of trash at the trash can to make it and missing yk

[quasi saffron]

Me neither knows
I'm too old to know

[steel pagoda]

It’s TikTok thing

[surreal forge]

the "aura" they're referring to is basically cool points if that's still a valid definition

[dull citrus]

Oh i dont do the Tocky Tick.

[steel pagoda]

Yupppp

[quasi saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/aura-farming-aura-farming-sung-sung-jin-woo-gif-58158137316926424

[steel pagoda]

Negative aura if you don’t have TikTok

[dull citrus]

Thats for young folks who enjoy brain rott.

[smoky quail]

No it's like standing in front of my door waiting for them to buzz me through like I'm at work.

[dull citrus]

No just intelligent.

[signal ocean]

Abe Simpson in the house

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-grand-pa-millenial-old-gif-10484595

[steel pagoda]

LOL

[civic zenith]

yeah. hence why cringe. because tiktok is aswell 😅

[surreal forge]

it's a solid relief after dealing with my coworkers all day lol - that and playing this game i just found a few days ago with my partner

[steel pagoda]

How is TikTok cringe

[surreal forge]

does this really need an answer 😭

i use it and i still agree with them

[dull citrus]

Thats what reading, hiking and the beach is for.

[civic zenith]

because it melts brains 😅

[dull citrus]

And doggos. And beer.

[steel pagoda]

TikTok rlly good for getting breaking news and regular news and stuff like that

[tame seal]

How is it not cringe? ^^

[surreal forge]

i love hiking but my joints don't 😭

[smoky quail]

Some times you want to melt your brain.

[dull citrus]

I feel that i have degenerative arthritis

[civic zenith]

not like that

[surreal forge]

always validate your tiktok news with Multiple other sources pls

[dull citrus]

There are more enjoyable ways to do so

[quasi saffron]

Anyway... I'm gonna go and y'all will miss my inputs.

[surreal forge]

i have ehlers danlos + aftermath from a car wreck in 2018

[steel pagoda]

Okay I will what else do u check tho for news instead of TikTok

[smoky quail]

Wine? I do that to on occasion. 🤣

[dull citrus]

Bruh. My cousin has ED. I lost a friend a few years back to it too 😟 Be good to yourself.

[dull citrus]

100%

[civic zenith]

news

[surreal forge]

literally any large or small scale news channel

[thick night]

Credible journalists and legitimate news sources

[steel pagoda]

What if it’s a verified news account on TikTok

[dull citrus]

are they for real about the news??? I hope they are being sarcastic…

[surreal forge]

mines only hypermobility and joint / connective tissue problems afaik, no heart issues - tho i do regularly get pvcs and have had afib a few times-

[tame seal]

News cant be reported in a 30 second tiktok so always look for more indepth sources of news.

[steel pagoda]

I mean I don’t have a news app on my phone there’s no other place I rlly get it other than if I see something on TikTok

[surreal forge]

google

[steel pagoda]

But usually if I see it on TikTok I’ll look it up on good

[surreal forge]

😭

[steel pagoda]

And read like a article about it

[civic zenith]

and thats the issue. you get neither the full storys nore anything close to reality.

[dull citrus]

Al jazeera, BBC and NPR are good for news imo.

Also Associated Press

[tame seal]

These days, especially these days, also get multiple sources of news if you're planning on talking to others about it. It doesn't matter what line you lean across, very few news sites are impartial.

[surreal forge]

also don't believe anything daily mail says

[barren hawk]

Yup, Tiktok is the worst place to get news, or really any content, it's mostly a bunch of BS on there

[steel pagoda]

Why not

[smoky quail]

At work most websites are blocked except for daily mail for some reason. I like reading it for the stories, not necessarily the news.

[surreal forge]

they're extremely inaccurate and post false narratives frequently

[dull citrus]

See the dif there? Story vs news lol

[steel pagoda]

Why are they not banned then

[surreal forge]

just to get it out "first"

[dull citrus]

Harry Potter is a good story too

[steel pagoda]

Ohh that’s weird

[civic zenith]

because money

[barren hawk]

Yup, same reason Tiktok isn't banned, money

[steel pagoda]

That’s makes sense I get it then

[smoky quail]

Yea. If I wanna research something I try to read at least 3 different sites about it. Somewhere in there you can discern a kernel of truth.

[hybrid arrow]

True of any corporate media.

[dull citrus]

Also its not illegal to spew bullshit

[surreal forge]

daily mail feels like it gets its stories from quora

lmao

[tame seal]

Pretty much.

[tame seal]

Throw the daily mail down the drain....

[civic zenith]

not wanting to sound anti anything but... the reality is if you want somewhat reliable news. look for outlets outside of the states. just sayin

[dull citrus]

Chile…

[surreal forge]

if somethings so important that you must know about it, read like every side and come to your own educated conclusion

[surreal forge]

this is also so valid

[steel pagoda]

My dad watches the news on tv it’s Fox but that’s usually super boring to watch cause they don’t talk about interesting stuff

[dull citrus]

Oh boy…

[surreal forge]

fox is an entertainment network

not the news

[civic zenith]

fox isnt a newschannel

[steel pagoda]

Fox News?

[dull citrus]

Im gonna go before i get myself in trouble 😂

[surreal forge]

it may be called fox news but it's under the IP of fox entertainment

[hybrid arrow]

I wouldn't call it a reality. There are biases nearly everywhere if not everywhere.

[civic zenith]

Aye. fox news is nothing more than a propaganda entertainment channel

[steel pagoda]

Oh so it’s like pretending

[thick night]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-family-guy-seth-mac-farlane-stewie-can-not-sleep-gif-5532862

[surreal forge]

propagating a specific narrative for increased views

[steel pagoda]

Negative aura link

-1000 aura points

[surreal forge]

also we're nearing the political line again i think

[civic zenith]

that IS reality. ofc you arent wrong with the bias elsewhere. but european news networks are way more regulated

[hybrid arrow]

That just means the government is more in control than the corporations.

[tame seal]

Buuuuuuuuuuuut i'd also say this is nearing the politics line soooooooooo backwards stepping slowly 😄

[surreal forge]

updates gonna bonk us

[steel pagoda]

Politics is so boring 🙄

[civic zenith]

aye. but those gouvernments arent only two opposing partys

[hybrid arrow]

And frustrating

[steel pagoda]

They talk abt the most boring stufff like who caresss I just wanna play videogames

Anybody hear read books?

Like physical books like online books

[hybrid arrow]

What is that? Like you hold it, what's the screen like?

[steel pagoda]

LOL

[civic zenith]

occasionally im listening to a book reading podcast to get sleepy

[steel pagoda]

any good book recommendations

I like fantasy stuff

[civic zenith]

depends on what genres u like

[hybrid arrow]

I used to. I was thinking about it the other day. I haven't been motivated to buy books. I think the monopolistic nature of the publishing kind of turned me off. The last I read was years ago - the Witcher series.

[surreal forge]

listen to "My friend has been living in an alternate reality" read by mrcreepypasta on youtube - it originates from the creepypasta subreddit but it's a damn good story

4 hours long

[dull citrus]

I can smell the stupid in the air. Someone spray some air freshener.

[civic zenith]

o.O?

[surreal forge]

sorry that's me

[dull citrus]

Def not you lol maybe it was my bad gas tho.

[surreal forge]

it's emanating through my phone from my coworkers

"does this look like real vtach?" shows me a completely trash strip of artifact

[wanton folio]

what is aura? Is it like the northern lights?

[civic zenith]

no. its somewhat a version of what we used to call charisma 😅

[surreal forge]

that's a fantastic comparison

[wanton folio]

charisma..I ahve a negative towards charmisa. in early PC games, girls got charisma and men got strength...boooo

[civic zenith]

and well from there it spiraled into everything where someone looks slightly cool - they are "aura farming" now 😅

[daring silo]

Stormlight Archive

Book 3 is amazing

[wanton folio]

like karma farming on reddit?

[civic zenith]

somewhat jeah

although the only karma id be farming on reddit is flamethrower ashes

[surreal forge]

i'll just spec into the best of both worlds fr

[steel pagoda]

Like if you slip and fall in front of everyone that’s Negative 1,000,000 aura points

[civic zenith]

sigh

[surreal forge]

slipping and falling is fun tho

[civic zenith]

gotta do it in style :3

[surreal forge]

i say as my knees make twelve noises never heard by humankind before

[still quartz]

Back in my day we just called this social anxiety

And the fear of looking like a fool in front of people

[civic zenith]

yeah... im old. and god am i thankfull for that xD

[surreal forge]

i thought being a kid in the 2000's-2010's was bad, i can't imagine what it's like now 💀

[civic zenith]

some kids grew damn smart. no question.but jeah... then theres the tiktok bubble... the social media obsessed pool... the influencer trashheap... shudders

[surreal forge]

i have tiktok but like 85% managed to avoid brain rot - a lot of my content is either nile red or cat memes that make me question whether or not i'm a facebook mom

[steel pagoda]

Nah it’s easy for them tbh

Rn

[civic zenith]

there sure are some exceptions to the rule even there. but... jeah

[tame seal]

A good quantity of what appears on Tiktok these days though, it's always in the back of your mind if it's actually real or AI as well 🤣

[steel pagoda]

It was harder back then for you tbh it’s easier for those kids today cause of the new tech stuff yk

[surreal forge]

bruh there's a Large amount of "content creators" on tiktok who actually are just test runs for ai avatars 💀

[surreal forge]

i meant more in terms of social interaction

[subtle prawn]

It's not like we didn't had technology back then

[surreal forge]

kids are mean, even more so now

[civic zenith]

part yes part no.
kids these days have different problems to deal with. social anxiety. more and mpre adhd cases etc etc etc.

[tame seal]

We're not that old! 😄

[steel pagoda]

Yeah it’s easier for kids now they all can text and make friends on Snapchat and stuff

[hollow cliff]

We played outside and had fun

[tame seal]

Kids cant escape the social pressure these days.

[surreal forge]

i didn't have a phone til i was 18 lmao

[still quartz]

To be honest though these problems are also easier to deal with because society is more understanding about helping and catering to these problems and issues

[surreal forge]

lowkey probably changed me as a human

[steel pagoda]

Outside where lol I’m in the city there’s no where to play here

[tame seal]

Got a bully? That bully can literally bully you 24/7.....

[hollow cliff]

the rooftop

[steel pagoda]

Just bully the bully no one rlly messes with us at school

There’s gossip yeah but that’s normal

[tame seal]

That's by far not as easy as you make it sound ^^

[surreal forge]

befriend the bully bc they're just having home issues fr

[hollow cliff]

Same for me when I got my first computer
