oh also shower every other day, use deoderant without shit additives every day, change socks & underwear every day, make your bed instead of letting your mom do it (especially when your room smells like teen spirit), open a window to air out your room everytime before you invite somene over, learn to use a washing machine, learn to floss your teeth, use conditioner after you’ve rinsed your schampoo, learn how to clean the toilet after you & how to wipe yourself in the front (shaking isn’t enough among adults AND shaking excessively can easily damage your tube), trim your nosehair… i could go on with life lessons i’ve gathered that came to mind after reading your post. little details of adult life that are learnt in silence and not really spoken about in media outlets- but that got taught to me by older people and partners having an embarassing conversation about growing up. sucks to learn the hard way, worse to never learn these at all. domestic things regarding hygiene is rarely spoken about, but it’s so friccin interesting to learn about “how to do it right”. especially as a young adult who’ve never been taught to properly take care of yourself. like shaving with a barber’s knife, sewing back buttons and patching holes in clothes.

it may be more big and suspenseful times to live in but these boring hygiene habits apply to adults now since the beginning of the parliamentary society in the 1900s. hygiene is less prevalent in immature adults and more prevalent in mature adults. ik it sucks to do, i have diagnoses of all kinds, but it’s a sign of being a responsible adult to keep hygiene habits.

those cis-men who joke about men being beasts and cavemen aren’t more masculine, just derogatory towards other men’s potential. the manliest man isn’t scared or toothfloss and doing dishes. weaker cowards make up excuses to not take responsibility for their hygiene.

watching parent play videogames, touching screen to make effects, being asked to play using one part of the controls (like “you control movement, i look around. now lets switch”) asking how they’d make all caps letters after showing them how the shift key works

pick up the “analogue bag” trend. none of us older than you approve of the internet today: we had a different place to grow up in online. you will be the happiest and most hopeful person around- others will remember your calm and seek you for comfort.

stop using AI. period. your brain is developing, let it suffer the growing pains of wondering what to draw; of which source of knowledge learn from; how to compose your thoughts. you will be the most intelligent person around- ever increasingly so as years go by.

age old traps checklist: status, whoevers the most popular that moment, flips on the head as you grow up… everyone will Hate how the most popular person behaves now in a few years. be humble if you’re the popular one. at the sane time enjoy yourself: if you wanna indulge, indulge. saying stupid things from your heart is indulging. listening more than you speak is humble. that’s the secret to popularity that lasts beyond school years.

hug all around you. say hi to everyone around you, even those you don’t feel are cool- that you’d get bullied for associating with. that’s all we adults are doing: catching up on hugs and greetings, because it helps our mood and makes us feel meaningful wherever we have to be.

learn an instrument, or an art, or a craft, or a sport.

say no to drugs. period. your brain and body are fully developed when you are 26. then you don’t get as addicted and have an easer time finding a balance between partying and cozying up intimately in a couch. statistically you’ll end up regretful if not abusing drugs or being abused while doing drugs below 26 years old. i can attest. drugs don’t fix problems. they hide and let problems infect other parts of your life.

say no to sex that makes you feel pressured. as a guy i got status from chasing sex at your age, but if fucked me up to only be liked for being attractive. friends who cuddle are more important than acquaintances who fuck. one validates you as a human being and makes you feel seen. the other hollows you out while forcing you to become a person for the sake of others to feel seen.

be outdoors. pet animals. eat vegetables. drink water, not soda. drop food additives like “flavour enhancers” (e621) and aromas (vanilla aroma is made of literal cowdung and fossil fuels.) companies are not your friends: you’re as cattle to the companies, so yeet their brands. wear natural fibres and what you like.

welp i have more but idk if you’d read all

okay, phew =) i got anxious for some reason.

are you an AI asking to be trained or something? your entire post culminates in that it’s people’s faults for not doing better, phones not being the issue and these analog bags being kinda moot.

i don’t wanna comment anymore incase you take my posts antagonistically, i think we’re reading differently. no offense meant! have a good day

lmao i added to the word of mouth here, that was the point.

ofcourse HP sells more. they’re a market monopoly that polemically and aggressively remove common knowledge of competitors when able to.

i sense a /neutral tone is important to add from me. i come in peace ✌️

so specifying it’s others wrong for being on their phone so much is a critique

peertube + digidi ?

this reminds me of many instances of undesireable policymaking where algorithms just connected state personell with agendas of politicians through the black box of social media… like a judge who got the thoughts of a politician on certain rulings which is illegal in nordic countries. like the message of “hey what if climate activists are obstructing capital ventures in law? can a judge try that?” is illegal for a politician to ask of a judge here, yet through social media it happened. she didn’t see that politician’s exact words but was bombarded by posts and probably ads that shaped the way she thought about her job as a juridical arbiter of lives. left uncorrelated in mainstream

like modos, the open source e-ink kit with as fast refresh rates as LCD screens? on crowdsource right now

and as “open printer”? open source printer with refillable ink cartridges, no tracking shenanigans, a repairable design and possibility to just put a roll of paper (at most A3 in width) then letting it print bannerolls… crowdsource too iirc

so osmosis? kinda like the consensus people form from being on the internetverse - not knowing just where they picked a fact or perspective up from, but touting it as an obvious fact or perspective that everyone has

so just like crypto & AI: a ponzo scheme

yes without BankID alot of services are unaccessible. atleast internet purchases are possible with a physical device the swedish banks hand out. used to be cardreaders, now just a device scanning a QR code then prompts a personal code and returns a code.

idk why it turnt into a quote, sorry. am having some lag and formating issues with the blorb client to piefed.

no, i mean you’re critizising the way a societal change is happening and i add some thoughts to that.

tradera

order one of their physical devices with buttons. enables you to bank and buy. gotta hassle customer service a bit. depends on who you get answering. i say i get banned from BankID for using an open source os on a whole phone. that im not buying a new for i k… becausw this one can watch uoutube, sms, call, browse internet… but BankID REFUSES ME CITIZENSHIP. unless i pay however many thousands on a new phone every year. so i got a physical device sent out. it scans and gives a code. “bankdosa.” i add it has Android (whatever version) while last supported is 6 (way below, number small)

ShiftPhones, FairPhones, Volla (german, dutch, finnish) with LineageOS or PostMarketOS rather than e/os (bad fork of LineageOS, SUCKED to export my data once the os lagged so badly. rejects connections and makes my life unecessesarily difficult.)

or just y"know pick up a samsung S4. watch the teardown videos by i forget who. physically remove WiFi Bluetooth receiver, GSM radio receiver, front back cam, the three microphones on it, the gyroscope, i forget what else. then connect it to internet using the linux app gnirehtet and a cable.

it’s called StartMail and also outdoes Google with a searchengine called StartPage

selfish? thanks, helpful
