Gen Z Stare
Some interesting Off Topic

“It’s like they’re always watching a video, and they don’t feel like the need to respond,” he said. “Small talk is painful. We know this. But we do it because it’s socially acceptable and almost socially required, right? But they won’t do it.”

Still, as more young people enter the workforce, he said, “Gen Alpha is going to be terrible.”

Public school in the 90s rewarded me for restating test and homework questions on paper, this is like regular small talk practice with positive reinforcement.

It’s their version of quiet quitting.

Because there is a complimenting bromide response statement for every cliche phrase.Throughout society we have used catch phrases as passkeys or social cryptocurrency for pass identification. Short cutting the people's filter method; a drive the snaking string of consciousness seeks through trying grandclock's gears of time.

The gen z stare should be so angry it burns holes in things, they were born into a world where everything was ruined, family, dating, marriage, job security, retirement, privacy, social safety nets, internet, etc

Its all ruined or going to be ruined by the time they are old.

By the time they are old people I wouldn't be surprised if 1 family owns 99.9999999% of all wealth on the planet. And robot enforcers shock the people if they question the wealth inequality.

You might already have brain chips, to punish you for thought crimes.

Its a scary future, sometimes I'm glad i'm old enough I won't see it. Or that I got to live a long life in a world before it.

Some delusional folks blame boomers for all of the worlds problems and they think Gen Z will fix everything, when in fact the world has been consistently getting worse since the industrial revolution and every generation before the boomers played a role in causing the problems we see today.

Realistically, Gen Z will only continue this trend and I wouldnt be surprised if in 50 years the world will indeed be ruled by a single family who has an army of robots to shock those who criticise them.

Control will be achieved without overt brutality. The idea of a visible and accessible oppressor is ridiculous.

Gen Z stare = being Russian

They have embraced reality and decided they they don't get paid enough to smile
At least it's quieter in public...:catinablanket:
