  • Are people not as familiar with at-home PCR tests than I assumed? We’ve been using them (not remotely as early as we should’ve been but) for much of the time COVID’s been around.

    You take a swab or saliva sample at home and then send the sample to a lab and that lab does the testing for you; there’s no need, at all, to have any sort of equipment at your home, in any way.
















  • I think that’s a huge source of disconnect with Gen Z. I don’t think they ever had a concept of dark humor.

    I mean, I dunno; I think you’re right in the sense that Gen. Z doesn’t do edgy humor nearly as much but they are still known for irony poisoning and I think you get similar outcomes, just (now) with the veneer of there being, really, a truth to what you’re saying.

    “Helen Keller didn’t really do all that” is squarely a Gen. Z “joke” with just as awful implications as dark humor.
