The cool thing about instagram is your friends see your content, unlike what happens on this website

Feel like I got the shot this morning

When people talk about how Gen Z dating discourse is bizarrely antagonistic, I tend to think that this is the root cause. As is often the case, the problem is the fucking phones. Love and sex are risky enterprises for the ego, and a lot of locker room talk ime is a sort of ingroup ritual to shield said egos via performative bravado and shaming of the other: they can't hurt you if they don't matter. The rest, of course, is intrasexual competition, which only further encourages disparagement, objectification, and a general treatment of romance as a game to be won rather than a journey to be taken. These sorts of rituals are bad even in isolation to the extent that they reinforce toxic behaviors within the ingroup audience. But they are even more disastrous imo when they break containment, which social media naturally facilitates. Because when overheard by the outgroup, these displays do not come across as the feigned tenacity of a fearful cub; they just sound cruel. And that cruelty creates further fear, and that fear leads to escalation. To the extent love is a game, it is positive-sum, cooperative, and thrives off of courage. But being made aware of the darkest patterns of behavior in our counterparty is an anathema to said courage and cooperation. We were not meant to be privy to such thoughts. These words were not meant for the enemy.

There’s a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once they’ve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because they’re always just ads for old products

For all the generational discourse, I wouldn't roll the dice on being a member of any other generation, perfectly happy with the millennial experience as cringe as it may be

Bc women fundamentally don't understand the male human experience Female intrasexual competition: "Oh my god you look so cute in that" (terrible outfit) Male intrasexual competition: "Maybe I stab and kill you"
