Millennials and segments of Gen-Z are at a critical point where they must choose between doubling down on the technological world or distancing themselves from it. People unhappy about having their hand forced are reluctantly moving beyond “ironic detachment” into “nihilistic attachment.” Nihilistic attachment has arisen because individuals are aware of the fact that they have been duped by an “abusive partner”, believe there is no alternative, and see everyone else in the same situation.
>>108340060I oscillate between AI gooning and switching off and being semi productive for a few days. I dont see a positive future
>>108340540yeah, especially now that tech defeatism seems to be among the least of anyone's worries right about now.
>>108340060Distance is better, the internet is pretty much tamed and on the way out with id requirements and ai enshittification
>>108340060As a gen z'er who has been using the internet since 2005, I would distance myself from it no problem. You shouldn't accept ID requirement bullshittery on sheer principle. I don't know what i would do all the days after, but I'll figure something out since I have a bunch of books I've compiled. I would probably just sell my tech shit and downgrade to the bare essentials.
>>108340060The problem is normcattle not the technology
>>108340060Millennial here. I just post this... and have a good day.

>>108340060I am going to japan in a month. When i come back i plan on going internet dead or what i call "cY2K" living. "consciously living like its y2k" sure ill have access to internet if i need it, but if i need to do banking and check email for important shit i can do it. I can download music and watch TV if its through internet streaming simulating having cable. but im not able to have online MP gaming. im not allowed to view site that wouldnt have been around pre 2004 unless its the tv streaming. imma live like its 2000 and see how it is. on my smart phone ill turn data off and i will only be able to text and call and vice versa. its a challenge im invoking on myself. im sick of going online and reading just NEGATIVITY ALL THE TIME

>>108343762>but im not able to have online MP gamingthe best mp gaming years were precisely the early to mid 2000s.shrimply play old games only and/or games that strictly use player-run dedicated servers. keep to yourself and dont engage with faggotry. turn chats off if needed. no need to deprive urself
>>108345398>Haha, it's funny cause they're the same.Yawn.
