  • 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.








  • At one of my old jobs (which handled owning malls (I worked on the websites)), one of the locations would hold an event with Autism Speaks; during a meeting, someone mentioned that we needed to get the campaign advertisements on the site for one of their upcoming events.

    At the mention of “Autism Speaks”, I reflexively went, “Ew.” Only dawned on me, after the fact, that it probably looked to the rest of my coworkers like I was ridiculously immature about and ablist towards autistic people.





  • It used to freeze up a lot; and, then, you lost all tabs, if it did. That’s why I’d stopped using it and switched to Chrome, back in the day.

    With all the crap Google’s doing, I tried Firefox out again something like 5 or 7 years ago and it’s now better than what Chrome offers (for me, of course; I’d’ve probably still switched, anyway, just to deGoogle my life further).

    I do find it starts to massively lag when I get to a certain number of tabs/windows; but Chrome doesn’t seem to ever shut off my CPU fans under the same level of load so not like it gets a leg up.
