The troubled teen industry is a cancer on our society and it needs to be stopped. My younger brother went to SageWalk and Bridges Academy in the 90s. He doesn’t talk about it.

One I caught my Marcy (RIP) in a big heckin achoo

Yeah, he’s always believed some pretty stupid shit, and confidently. He’s gotten noticeably worse over the last few years.

I wonder how much of his nonsensical beliefs are just ai psychosis

Don’t get me started about WES.

But the blue line opened on the west side in late 1998. That was really important to us west side folks. I know people bitch, but I wish it extended into Tigard.

Super fair. I just never want to speak over anyone. I, for example, get all kinds of stabby when colonizers deign to say shit about “Indians”

Omg. Thats so fucked up. Are you comfortable going into more detail? That’s not in my wheelhouse.

Ai youth pastor vibes 🫠

I legit don’t understand the “no beards” thing. One of my childhood friends is in a Christian cult where men aren’t allow to shave their beards. They actually have to have beards. Idk all the ins and outs, just shit I’ve seen on insta, but it’s fucking bizarre.

Late teens/early 20s is when you should be developing your own identity/sense of self. Why tf are these kids being like “yes, mommy, I’ll take this class to further your culture warrior career.”

It will forever be disgusting to me that this generation’s Mr. Roger is being painted as an antisemite. That feels so gross to me. I grew up watching Mr. Roger and I credit him for how I am and judge people on their opinion of him. Ms. Rachel is a kind soul.

“I’m so glad a lake was vaporized for these stupid shit ass images.” She hasn’t brought it up since.

I can’t remember everything I said but the broad strokes were “sign up for FB or insta and fucking TELL ME ai isn’t a fucking problem. This shit sucks, and I don’t want any part of it.” Then texted screenshots of shit that came up on insta.

I was like “that’s not something I’m interested in. GenAI is destroying the planet and robbing people of critical thinking, etc.” My mom was like “well ai is already here, may as well get used to it.” At that point I called her lol.

This was an argument I got into with my mom about awhile back. No shade to my mom, I love her, but she’s kinda clueless. She only got a smart phone in 2022, and she doesn’t use socmed. One day she texts me “hey you should check out this remote job training ai” bc my SIL does that.

Also, not for nothing, but dismantling capitalism will be virtually impossible if this weird AI coup they are attempting works. Reality will be so destabilized and impossible to agree on we will fracture into dust.

You've really got to fight this, everywhere and time you see it. It's vital.
