For a while, they said if you needed tech help, ask a 10yo. But current 10-20yos didn't have to explore and click around and futz with things to get them to work, so if it's not immediately obvious, they can't do it.
Basically if you're 30-50 you're just doing tech support for everyone forever.

lrp reminded me of another lore snippet that hurt my heart
![Arak is a local specialty in Ala Ghiri that once made the town famous. Several NPCs speak of the spirit, but stores of it were "promptly depleted when the Garleans took control."
[item icon of a bottle]
A colorless, licorice-flavored drink cor specialty of the Gyr Abanian region.
The drink uses date palms, but "all of the date palms native to [the Peaks] have been cut down." As such, the ingredients to make it "have grown increasingly sparse" so bottles are very rare and expensive.
However, a spy in Skulls sent date palm seeds from Garlemald to his mother in Coldhearth.
Coldhearth has planted the seeds, and plans to trade with Ala Ghiri when they make their harvest.
J'dyalani: "It will take a lot of work, to be sure, but in a few years' time traders from all over will be talking of the famous brew from Ala Ghiri and Coldhearth."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zal4ul7csz22l2jx4wfdwhgc/bafkreihtuopgacdb5hpcdv2dp3ubkh3k6yooqrwa6sjpkpzbvagg4fkhz4@jpeg)

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

![2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante
1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD.
[drawing] message that reads:
hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3
2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of
"not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers!
[drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read:
“hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rd3qfi4wgintxoldjqkjtjty/bafkreie64unhvebb6d3rvxl2jpcvxp2tqnswanvt4abcsnigd2pkxc463u@jpeg)

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).
It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.
Make sure you have these disabled.
