switched from a shitty 1080p 60hz monitor that my dad "borrowed" from his office to a 1440p 165hz monitor about a year ago. realistically i don't see much use out of it especially since like half the games i play cap at 60fps and were meant for crts or handhelds but i dont realistically see myself switching back to a lower resolution
The difference between the two resolutions is barely noticable wtf
I will 100% admit most of the difference comes from the increased refresh rate but I still look at 1080p monitors all the time. When you use both of them regularly you will in fact see a difference and if you're actively looking for a difference you're probably looking at the boundary between pixels specifically meaning you'll feel less of a difference because you're looking for less of a difference.
that two windows open stuff just reminded me i need to get hyprland working again
1080p is extravagant, 1440p is barely noticable. 4k and 8k are delusional
I strongly despise the way Gen Alpha is being raised by some irresponsible parents. It's concerning to see adults be lazy or, as social media-obsessed individuals with questionable judgment, recklessly handing over their iPads or any Smart Phone to their children's faces to out source parenting on their behalf! I recall an incident at a restaurant where a stupid woman berated me when I suggested that her 4-year-old shouldn't be using TikTok or Instagram. Her response was aggressive, saying "Mind your business." This happened in Canada, where people are suppose to be polite and it's disheartening to see clueless parents like her setting her child up for potential problems. Adults who recklessly give kids smartphones without consideration are jeopardizing society's future and potentially leading to a detrimental impact on humanity. It's baffling why some adults seem to be lacking in awareness and responsible decision-making these days.
I think the anger towards Gen Alpha humor just comes from us early Gen Z seeing what being raised from birth with the internet did to children and (hear me out) seeing the world ending through these gen alpha memes
I think you can argue that Gen Alpha is less capable of human connection than previous generations, but to say that they will never be capable of it is very much an overexaggeration in this case.
That is a fair point to make. Kids shouldn't have smartphones, much less social media which has grown to be full of greed and lust. Doesn't help that my 8 year old cousin not only has an I-phone, but a FUCKING iPhone 14!! No hate to my aunt and uncle, but I kinda just look at them a bit differently. Like, they have toys and stuff, what's the need for a phone? Not only that, there's a whole lot of other digital interactive gamepads and gadgets made explicitly for kids if they really wanted the "shutthefuckup" machine? Was LeapFrog not enough?
You are forgetting that 67 and skibidi toilet came from past media
there's certainly a lot to unpack here but can you clarify to me what exactly "capable of reality" means
I love a lot of what you're saying here. I don't want to put it all on the parents though. I can understand why parents will give in and let their kid have a smartphone when it's both (a) *very* normal these days, and (b) a way to keep their child occupied. And most parents are very very busy!
