My dad is very angry. He is claiming youtube has been showing him pictures of shirtless gay men for years when he tries to look up music. Curious. Very curious.
I would like all of you to have access to my totally chill and supportive parents. We aren’t on the same page but they respect it and they’re just okay sixty year old socdems.
It’s good. Being partway between a lib and socdem is pretty much standard with varying degrees of racism depending on the person here. They got some issues but they’re generally alright and at least respect that I got to where I am politically by doing a lot of work that they haven’t done so I probably know more than they do, it’s weird, my dad softened on Stalin no problem but went full battle mode about the McDonald’s coffee spill lawsuit siding with McDonald’s, not much consistency.
Also I feel like generation theory being a fuck aside, they kinda missed one between boomers and gen x. There’s that 70s show acting as the Happy Days equivalent, the first wave of punk and subsequent new wave and hair metal takeover. Most of that stuff also openly resented boomers to some extent. This probably comes from most of my favorite music coming from that era and my parents being the age that if they were cool could have checked that shit out. I dunno, they were born in 61 and 64 and Courtney Love was born in 63 so it seems like there’s a gap there if we’re gonna classify stuff on those lines.
All hail the mighty algorithm. It gives you what you need instead of what you want, at least that’s my interpretation.
YouTube keeps recommending me videos of Jordan Peterson and other right wing hacks no matter how many times I click “not interested”. Idk what I’m doing wrong, all I want is for the algorithm to recommend me shirtless gay men like it did for Rem’s dad.
:sadness:
I’ll pray for shirtless gay men to appear before you, stay strong comrade.
Spending Easter weekend as closeted bi dude with my homophobic evangelical Christian parents. It’s not going great folks.
