Feel sorry for the youth

Im getting older and I cringe when i look back at my highschool pictures and the stuff I posted on myspace. But I cant imagine the sorrow these poor young bastards will feel when they look back in their 40s at pictures of them in their early 20s and in the pics they're wearing pikachu shirts and remember they had anime stuff all over their social media.

    It's a sign of the times! I was a teenager in the 1980's,and I wish that I had had the big hair! My hair was flat and straight and boring. It's cool to have been involved with trends in the past.

    Focus on the good memories.

    In high school, I remember reading about how snipers vanish into thin air. I would wear black clothes on moonless nights and go outside to practice. The cops never found me. The professionalism was kind of fun.

    • Haha me and my friend use to make road blocks for fun at like 2am. One time we were in camo and in a tree right by the road. When the cop came for the 3rd time that night to remove the roadblock he started looking around with the flashlights and we were about to shit ourselves in that tree right beside him. He didnt see us.

    When the company that made Pokémon go develops AI that will put them out of work, I think the pikachu shirts will be retired. That cute little yellow bastard just took our jobs

    What's really going to be bad is they are working on public search algorithms to work with facial recognition as well as ip algorithms.

    Anything ever posted that has the same face including age simulation or anything ever posted by that ip.

    I say public because you probably don't want to know what the governments already have.

    Nothing you do online is truly private or disappears.

    I honestly cringe for those who are documenting every stupid action of their youth on social media, as once it's on the Internet, it's pretty much impossible to entirely get rid of. I've seen so many videos of teens harassing people in public, damaging property, lying about stupid and embarrassing things, etc. and I think they're going to really regret that if and when they eventually wisen up. I'm so glad TikTok wasn't around when I was a teenager, though we still had Facebook and the like. Thankfully, the worst I posted online was just corny and stupid statuses, though those are cringeworthy enough! 🤣

    My dad has always told me "Life is like a freshly fallen bed of snow, for every step you take will surely show", and posting it on social media, especially video and photo evidence, just cements it!

    What's wrong with pikachu and anime? That's a big part of my childhood, and I'm 25. You should be more worried about their usage of smartphones and how they're constantly glued to a device more than loving cute cartoons.

    Nothing's as fun as having been called for a parent teacher conference, and finding out your daughter is being teased and bullied by some of the guys in her 8th grade class with a picture of her mother spread eagle on a bed. Yes, we do stupid things when we are teens and 20s without thinking who it may affect 20 years down the road.

    Today there are even more people posting/sexting and it much easier with more ways and places to do it.I think the last statistics I read said somewhere between 40 to 60% of the people under 30 have posted or sent nudes online.

    Embarrassed by clothing or hair styles may be the least of their worries.

      I’d say even higher than 60% judging from what people have told me, 25-30 year olds who have never sent a nude are comfortably in the minority.

        I agree, if I just asked those I know or am around a lot. I'd say closer to 90% or more. There must be a corner of the world where they don't have access that drop the percentages. Lol

    Pfff we all regret what we did in highschool. Thinking we were just like the adults but cooler.

    • Yeah but big baggy jeans and a giant shirt is douchy but not as much as pikachu merch

        That's just your opinion. I look back at my cringy attire and I think. "Oh what nerds we were. Good times"

        When I look back at the style of clothing I wore in my teenage years, I feel happy. It was a great style. Hell, I still dress like that now in my 30's. Black clothing, plaid clothing, character shirts, and all sorts of accessories. I do what makes me happy.
        :)
        I do find my old social media cringe though. I was an ansgty person who had no idea what I was doing. I got involved in so much online drama with people I'd never meet in real life. XD
