a whole. This renewed popularity of Minecraft and the rise of that specific scene lead to the creation of SMPEarth, and in 2020, the Dream SMP.

inspired by TomSka and his Minecraft skin was modeled after him. In 2019 CallMeCarson and cscoop start SMPLive. Shortly after, jschlatt and AntVenom join and a viral moment between them massively impacts the server's popularity, which then brought a massive audience to Minecraft SMPs and the game as

In 2002 Smosh creates their website to host their comedy sketches. In 2004 TomSka starts uploading his own content on Smosh dot com and soon after begins working with Edd on Eddsworld.

In 2013 jschlatt starts his YouTube channel and in 2018 starts making Minecraft videos. Schlatt was heavily

Also the delivery drivers themselves seem to have forgotten too. Despite my having written delivery instructions as clear and concise as possible they still consistently always bother the downstairs neighbors trying to give them my order.

Like I'm currently staying in a duplex AirBNB and DoorDash thinks my address is wrong because I can't possibly be in a fully seperate unit inside of what looks like a single family home. And I just now went to make an Amazon order and out of the like 5 options not a single one works for a duplex.

They opened for blink, I didn't listen to much hardcore back then so I didn't know who they were but the other day I was looking through my old notes tryna find something and I saw this

Anyway I just needed to rant about this. I always used to say "it's always been like this, humanity is just really stupid it just feels worse in the present bc it's the present". But Jaiden Animations' recent video on it made me think, yeah it's actually gotten worse since even the 2010s.

Fuck, man

It was initially worse in the US because that's where those technologies originally got off the ground and hence were bigger sooner, but it's now expanded globally.

Also (conspiracy theory time) the US education system has been intentionally slowly eroded to make an easier to manipulate voter base.

I blame television for the '60s and '80s, TV propaganda getting more advanced and also the internet forming for the '00s hike, the internet getting large enough for corporations to take notice for the '10s hike, and COVID for the '20s hike.

People have been saying this kinda thing since the 60s and especially the 80s but at least Reagan was educated and spoke with decency. Yeah he was horrible and a liar but that's pretty normal for presidents.

It also feels like it's gone from being mostly US centric to being the whole fucking world.

In the 2000s people thought the US was becoming increasingly stupid with the Bush administration, "don't wanna be an American Idiot" yada yada. It felt like we had a break during the recession but in the mid 2010s it started getting worse again just hasn't stopped ever since

Everything feels like it's getting dumber and dumber. People are dumb, technology is dumb, everything is dumb dumb silly haha. It genuinely feels like we're getting closer to the movie Idiocracy. Hell, the US had a government agency named after a fucking MEME.

I use Gboard but I've heard the iOS keyboard is even worse with it sometimes typing entirely different characters than the key you selected.

I feel like it started last year and has steadily gotten worse and worse, and this past month it's gotten ridiculous. Even the talk to text seems to be broken

Also like, why have phone keyboards gotten so awful lately. Half the time when my finger touches between two keys it types the less sensical option, the autocorrect has gone into overdrive, and the autosuggest has become bizzare and doesn't even seem to recognize common words anymore. Like wtf.
