Cunts on e-scooters, on the fucking pavement, smoking fucking e-cigarettes, listening to wireless earbuds, making fucking TikTok videos on their fucking mobile phones making millions of quid to spend on an OnlyFans subscription..

Good news! OnlyFans have decided to self-destruct by banning porn from their platform, leaving them with checks notes… Nothing?

Nah, they've ditched that idea, probably after realising that they don't want to go the way of Tumblr.

It's a double edged sword I think reading up on some of it. Good in that less porn and therefore exploitation but bad in the sense it leaves sex workers out in the cold having to resort to more dangerous means.

I could also be talking complete bullshit too so there is that.

From what I gather, it’s due to anti-porn religious groups putting extreme pressure on banks to refuse payments on Onlyfans unless they ban sexually explicit material. Not nude material, though, so their argument that it’s to prevent child abuse has zero credibility. Seems to me this is just prudes wanting to enforce their prudishness on others, and the victims would be sex workers who rely on Onlyfans for income. Think of them what you will, but many people have started an Onlyfans during the pandemic as a means of making money because there were few other options, and while it involves some obvious risks, it’s a lot safer than many other forms of sex work.

TL;DR, prudes are selfish, ignorant arseholes.

It's only recently I have started to feel legitimately old. I mean, I am getting up there (36 next month) but yeah... I don't even recognise these kids and their weird ways. I feel like a relic.

"Dude" doesn't count, right?

I'm only 31 and it all feels a world apart for me too. I don't really notice it most of the time, but then I go for a night out to the bars in town and am surrounded by teenagers and 20 somethings and I feel like a different species. :lol:

I think Tik Tok is absolutely insidious too. Engineering people to have shorter and shorter attention spans to consume as much guff content as possible and get addicted to just flicking through clip after clip. People are fooled into thinking that they'll get their 15 seconds of fame if one of their videos gets a lot of views, but really the whole thing is just a big data and marketing company wet dream.

Fuckstick teenagers who think it's ok to blast out the shit awful auto-tuned excuse for music on their phones as they walk on the street or on the train. Also people who talk on the phone by holding it flat on their palm, these are usually the same cunts that use speaker phone in public.

I’m 36 and I don’t understand young people haircuts. Here I am with my self-cut, reasonably short, boring, normal haircut, but there’s nothing normal about that now. To anyone under 21 I probably look like I’ve escaped from a Gulag camp.

Agreed on TikTok too. Had to get a train last week and the only other person on it was a teenage lad who was taking photos and videos of everything (such wonders can be found in a near-empty Northern Rail train). He had a stupid haircut. Pretty sure TikTok was involved, as between eating some stinky crisps and taking footage of things he was skipping through 10 second clips of intense noisy shite. Then he yelled at the conductor about something. Utter bell end.

TikTok is something I really don't understand, and would prefer to keep it that way. One of the lads I work with (he's 33) is on it constantly, and I often hear him chuckling away to himself. He's also hella smart and really productive though, so nobody seems to mind.

But yeah. From a psychology standpoint, the world we live in at present is terrifying. There's a heavy reliance on social media for regular hits of dopamine and rather narcissistic tendencies are becoming increasingly pervasive. I am so, so glad that I was on the cusp of all of this / had a 'normal' childhood. I regularly see groups of youths presumably out and about in a social capacity, all staring at their respective screens like a bunch of zombies. It's truly bizarre.

I downloaded tiktok, Ive seen some funny videos and thought it might be worth a look. Watched about 5 saying "oh fuck off" louder and more annoyed each time and uninstalled it. Bunch of sad wankstains desperate to be viral.

Also fuck youtube too. Yeah there might be some good stuff on there but there should be a law that says if you dont know what the fuck youre talking about you should shut the fuck up and not wax on like you know everything. Headphone/speaker reviews, guitar pedal reviews and camera reviews are the worst for it.

Also fuck the kids that graffiti BTS all over the place in Glasgow. I tried them out, they're awful and I do enjoy a bit of K-pop. They have no character or charm, its all dogshit vanilla rubbish. Wheres the G-Dragon tags!? ¬_¬

Also fuck that twat that wanders through Partick looking like Spud while blaring dance music from a bluetooth speaker yet walking as if there is no music and its just a boring old normal day. At least dance you Edwin!

Also fuck any DLC for Beat Sabre that doesn't have a god. damn. beat!
