Gen Zer's (2005) Predictions for Gen Alpha (They aren't Doomed)

I have some cousins that are Gen Alpha and they're turning out well. I really think all the "they're so doomed" messaging is from a loud minority, mostly on tiktok. I disagree, so I plan to make predictions for the vague & soupy (time) generation of Gen Alpha.

This list will focus on American Gen Alpha since there WILL be a stark contrast, especially regarding school shootings.

Average to EXTREME skill with tech depending on the kids (hope STEM is ready to welcome a new wave of newcomers)

Difficulties with history knowledge due to rewritten history books, (Please be kind while they learn, they don't know the full scope of what's going on yet)

Desensitized to violence (Due to usual kid stuff, school shootings being treated as normal, and an increase in hate crimes)

A new passion for social justice (I don't mean to be a "but I have black friends" kind of person, but believe it or not, having friends in minority groups and realizing they're in danger makes you want to fist fight whoever is at fault)

TONS of memes about the "Alpha" phrasing, which trust me, will get old QUICKLY. (A bigger stretch is saying the term for a shitty Gen Alpha kid will be Omega/Beta instead of Boomer)

Unusually violent jokes & memes

Extremely dark humor

A long list of child neglect lawsuits

An increase in accents homogeneity due to watching YouTubers at a young age (I'm not joking, this has happened to me and I only started watching YT in 2nd Grade. I have the weirdest Irish, British, and midwestern, but not the state I currently live in, accents on only CERTAIN words and phrases. There definitely will be studies on this.)

A new wave of kids fighting gerymandering

Brand New Shiny Raw LinesTM from the KiddosTM that they'll probably use to roast lawmakers until they start decomosing on the spot

Kids who are NOT afraid to fight you

New unseen levels of compassion

This is a stretch, but somehow they'll manage to bring back the avocado toast jokes, either as a banter thing or as a new "Boomer" type thing.

KiddosTM will probably joke about how Millennials ruined every industry from fabric softener to identity theft to robberies. This will be (hopefully) fully joking manner and used in a [Post kiddosTM disagree with] [Reply: Well, you ruined the fabric softener industry, so you don't have a leg to stand on] type format.

Will either share you their Social Security Number or will be a brick wall online. No in between.

A increase in reading (specifically fanfiction & audio books, but will NOT be void of physical copies) but a decrease in literacy & media literacy. We are already seeing this happening.

A "you didn't fix this/you fucked it up" attitude towards older people. This isn't necessarily negative since it means they won't take ANY shit from lawmakers and will probably not have as many hangups regarding rioting.

An absolute HATRED for family channels. I waiting for these kids to break the van life kids out in a bizarre scheme of epic proportions lmao

The most indecipherable controversies you've ever seen in your life. I'm thinking at least 5 levels of knowledge and joining a subreddit will be needed to even have an idea of what's happening.

(Hopefully) a new level of understanding when it comes to accountability, people changing, and knowing what you should expect from a person when they get cancelled.

Brand new political cartoons (now made for the internet)

A new passion for the environment and recognizing one's place in it.

A new level of hatred for colonialism and mass killings

Probably at least one assassination lmao (they'll be the barista from the tiktok about the barista killing CEOs with metal straws as darts)

A polarizing divide between anti-capitalism and ancap ideas that we haven't seen since 2008 (and not as publicly in 2008, so get ready for your shit to get rocked).

Some of the best and worst takes that humanity has ever bore witness to.

New acceptance (even better than now) regarding hair (dyes and styles), tattoos, piercings, etc.

A major crackdown on systematic issues (criticism when they're young, major law & education changes when they're older)

That's all for now. REMEMBER! Do NOT treat these kids like you were treated (LOOKING AT YOU, Ms. AVOCADO TOAST and Ms. DOWNFALL OF HUMANITY GAY-MER).

Side Note: People are always surprised when I tell them I was born in 2005 and have already graduated high school (no, I did not skip grades, I was actually very young for my grade) so I'm going to apologize ahead of time for turning all the Millennials reading this into dust. Sorry, ya'll.

I am still working on the Heisenmoot server just adding emojis/a few little things so that it's at least passable (I am sort of okay with Discord but I am also increasingly becoming a Boomer with all tech lmao.) But uh. Yeah. I'd prefer it to be a followers/mutuals and mutuals-in-law kind of thing so I likely won't put it in the main tags but if you'd be interested in an invite when it's ready lmk. I'd also love for folks to invite buddies! It will have general discussion/art channels and stuff too, I just thought it might be fun for those of us still brain rotted to have a place to scream.

#I'm not anticipating tons of folks will be interested because I am strange and off putting but. here we are lol.

Reading Chong Yue operator file

(with some, i mean a lot of commentary)

I really adore him ughhhh, a good big brother we finally deserve

I used google translate to tl texts from aceship so it might not be 100% accurate, keep it in mind. Will edit here and there if i find more reliable translations

And let's see

Chong Yue works as martial instructor (he taught wushu) in RI

Ling requested Doctor not too overwork.assign him to many missions since Chong Yue came to RI to rest

Chong Yue files censored his combat skill test result as ■■

His medical test indicates that he has normal body, a very well worked out one (the one who wrote seems kinda thirsty lmao)

Archive 1

He has strict morning exercise routines everyday and because he teaches martial art, everyone learning with him are expected to follow his routine

NIAN ROPED HIM INTO HER MOVIE PROJECT LMAO

Everyone noted that he is just a normal guy™ compared to his little sisters

They said he is gentle and nice person auhwhdwjjs da ge

Archives 2

Initially other OPs are avoiding him because they think he is a serious person

But then when other OPs discovered he have many hobbies (wood carving, literature, poetry and brewing coffee etc) they started to invite him to various said activities and got shocked when he accepted their invitation lmaoo

He is interested in modern cultures and open to try new things

When he joined the movie production, he learned how the technologies relating to film making in two months 😭 he's a fast learner huh

EVERYONE BASICALLY SAYING HE IS OLD BUT NOT REALLY A TECH BOOMER HELLPP

Archives 3

Nian said that Dusk was reluctant (?) To see Chong Yue when he visited, so she created a painting of her and a hut with surrounding mountains (she basically trapped Chong Yue inside her painting for a whole night). And by the morning, Chong Yue basically shattered the painting and Dusk asked when did he find out, he replies he knows from the start because which big brother that doesn't recognize his little sister? (Chong Yue knows that the 'Dusk' accompanying throughout they day/night was just a painting) and Nian commented that Chong Yue was playing along just to make Dusk happy

Chong Yue was trying to persuade Dusk to go and live with him and Ling at the frontline (basically he doesn't want her to be lonely and a shut in) but he failed yeah lol

(AUGGH MY HEART DA GEEEE 😭)

Nian mentioned that when Chong Yue wakes up (as a Sui fragments, he sealed himself and molded a mortal body, it seems that Chong Yue is in mortal body and the rest of his siblings are not because Nian said that the 2nd brother will try to get Chong Yue to teach him how to do that after knowing this secret) seems like his 2nd brother knows how to do it too

Apparently the sword on his tail is where he sealed his true form??

Archives 4

This archives talks about Chong Yue wanting to retire after defending Yumen for so long

It said that Chong Yue hates killing the most yes he is the one who did killing the most too (the war and all)

He has acquaintances with many people, but the more acquaintances he has, the fewer he knows (god this sounds so sad...ahjbfjhef)

Chong Yue expressed that he loves the mortal world so much and wished that the world to stay in peace (as in not let Sui get revived and wreck more havoc and no more war i guess). That he is no longer 'Shuo' (his real name) but now 'Chong Yue' (his mortal name) because Chong Yue is a part of this mortal world (CRIESS)

#arknights #chong yue #operator files #arknights cn spoiler #beware of messy writings i just want to pour my thoughts #not intended to be a real tl or analysis #let see when proper tl comes out #i just love him sm #he's just worrying a lot about his sisters even in his voicelines

Armand mods the subreddit for the band The Vampire Lestat. Because Lestat is tech-inept "Read it? Read what?" and because this way Armand can twist the narrative on the band any way he wants. When he's pissed at Lestat he'll tease a reunion tour possibility, causing the fans to freak. The night after cathartic sex for them both, Armand will post a Polaroid from the concert at Cow Palace. Nothing incriminating, just never before seen blurry shots of the stage or the band members that aren't Lestat. The fans of the band are satisfied with the crumbs, and Armand secretly enjoys the adoration Lestat still gets from them.

Armand on Reddit. 💀

You know what... he would. Daniel and Benji introduced him to the site and he totally spiraled through hundreds of the most niche subreddits before creating r/TheVampireLestat in a fit of boredom and morbid curiosity. Today, it boasts 53 members comprised of baby boomers reliving the music of their heyday and wannabe goth teens thinking they're the coolest for having "discovered" TVL.

I love that you have it so that when Armand's pissed at Lestat, he retaliates by doing something Lestat has absolutely zero idea of lmao. It's very passive-aggressive, innocuous "I'm purposefully going to hang your dress shirts without ironing them to possibly let you know how much you annoyed me, but you're not going to notice so I don't feel bad about it" tired and cranky spouse energy. Sometimes they really are that couple that's been divorced twice without ever being married once. In this case, Lestat's in the doghouse without ever knowing he's in there, RIP. Which tracks tbf.

The ending is too sweet though! Because I feel that Armand does enjoy seeing Lestat being celebrated and receiving his dues (it reminds me of the scene in BC when he's looking at Lestat and smiling that secret little smile as Lestat sits on his throne). I could make also this kinky in a way and say that Armand gets off on objectifying his lover and showing off what he has, knowing these people will never get to experience Lestat the way he does.

Now if Armand would just leak their sex tapes—edited to appear as vintage 1980s pornography, of course. I think the fans deserve to at least meet Priapus, don't you?

#armand on reddit is going to haunt me for a while #i checked to see if r/TheVampireLestat exists and it does but it only has 5 members and zero posts so armand's really slacking on promo #guess lestat fucked up REAL BAD smh #you ask and hekate answers #armand/lestat #vc

i'm crying at you calling Andrés your wife 😭and again you're so right wtf we got net ZERO information abt andrés that we didn't already know before, in fact only more questions like how tf does this boomer know of the existence of spotify??????? he and sergio both dress like they're from the 40s, act like they are in their 40s, and now suddenly he knows about s p o t i f y 😭

EYE didn't know about spotify until like, 2020! and i'm not a boomer!

You're welcome, anon XD LMAO LITERALLY!! We got net zero, NET ZERO new info about Andres. We learned nothing about him, and didn't even get any basic questions answered from the main show! Like, how old was he when had Rafael, is his surname Marquina or de Fonollosa!? Instead, we're just wondering how he could possibly have done all this in the 2010s when he died in 2017 asdfasdf, not to mention how this doesn't match up with Martin's intro and the gold plan.

You're right and you should say it anon!! Andres and Sergio are very obviously pushing 40 LOL you barely even see them use cell phones. There is no way either of them uses spotify. Especially Andres. This is a man who calls IT because he forgot how to adjust the brightness of his phone, okay, this is not a tech savvy hip person. (And SAME, I too had no idea how to use spotify until the 2020s asdfaf)

Alas, my wife is just too high maintenance to offer us answers!

#anonymous #and I love how every single person who watched the spinoff is like 'what happened to these people?? where's sergio #where's martin??' #literally eating me up wondering what happened to damian and roi now asdfsad #berlin 2023

Thoughts from first day(evening) of SotO (I'm still on act 1)

I'm going slooooowwwww, "stuck" doing the first rifts thing because my partner and I got lost exploring the archipelago instead of doing that task oops.

Anyway, BOY OH BOY if the whole fractal thing is scratching my brain right. Aurelia is not having a good time due to flashbacks of her disastrous experience in the Mists (I had many potentially-canon ideas for it, but the demon AND fractal ones were not the one I thought I could go for together???), and I'm THRIVING with how many things could fit in her backstory... I just have to stop "wasting" time doing events and looking for interesting dialogue first lmao

But yeah, so far? Having a good time overall, it's just great.

Not too keen on certain aspects of the vault, but even just making the daily selection a lil' wider and having you pick 4 out of them for the AA (with the rest giving less/nothing) would be absolutely great. I'm also a tad sad about the removal of track potions? I mean I get it because the wvw dailies are no more, but I liked them on a purely dopamine-related "funny track go brrr" reasoning lol

Also the new communicator thing in the first instance was just perfect, all the dialogues were nice but Cre and Rytlock being boomers with tech was just *chef's kiss*. And the combat skyscale walk cycle and animations in general are gorgeous. And the maps. And music.

Tech whiz Ren at it again. It’s very funny to see you learn features, first queues now Read more what’s next scheduled posts. Jkjkjk. Now how have you been? Haven’t been here in a hot minute so this is my cue to catch up.

Yep you're seeing me be a boomer rn

I STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT SCHEDULED POSTS KJFSFDKJ

Hmm I've been doing decent I guess- A school project (that lasts till mid-may i think) is kinda being a pain though cause it's groupwork and I unfortunately got teamed with a clown and a bossy kid so yeah uhm it's dysfunctional at best LMAO (and i think the bossy kid hates all of us so yeah that's fun)

also ive started taking the online learning course for driving so I can get my instruction permit so I can actually start practicing driving a real car lmao (I'm scared for that)

uhh lets see what have i been up to other than that

hmm ive surprisingly been watching kny (well I lowkey zoned out on the first two episodes) and it's getting interesting so that's cool

and uh other than that ive been brainrotting for izana ig

i think i overshared abt my life lmfaooo so how have you been

#the cat pic just gave me flashbacks LOL #ren's asks

[dark-sarcasm]

I'm back. More or less.

Well, that certainly was an interesting time. What did I miss?

And what are those blue double checkmarks

Feeling like a boomer who doesn't understand tech lmao

[benjaminrydersnest]

Every single time I try to read sheet music or use online music programs that use sheet music I feel like a fucking boomer. Like, I understand chord charts and shit, but for some reason, despite having learned it in the past, I have completely forgotten how to use and read sheet, and it just feels like every time I try my brain fogs up. This would not be nearly as frustrating if I didn’t want to do covers of several different songs that would basically require such tech. I want to do them so bad but then I just. Can’t.

I suppose I could always brute force it, but that would be a lot of time and effort and I would get burnt out way too quickly LMAO

[roboromantic]

had a Really bad bout of "oh gd the future's hopeless I'm never gonna be able to live the life I want" yesterday

probably just bc I was Hella stressed, but it was the push I needed to Actually go ahead and drop by Wake Tech to see about that Simulation and Game Development degree (aka The One With 3d Modeling and Animation) or certificate programs.

turns out the certificate programs are not eligible for financial aid; I'd have to go with the associates. I apparently can't meet with an actual courses advisor unless I get admitted (so basically, if I apply). Applying is free beyond sending them my UNCA transcript, and there's no obligation to sign up for classes I guess? that's what the admissions advisor seemed to be saying.

Wake Tech is pretty darn cheap to begin with and I'm fairly sure I can get it covered by financial aid anyway so......I think I may go ahead and see if maybe I can go for that associates beginning in spring or if they'd make me retake all the gen-ed courses. in which case lol nope. The admissions advisor seemed optimistic about the gen-ed stuff transferring and/or still being valid after nearly a decade, so maybe I CAN just focus on the important stuff

I'm hoping that I can take all or most of my classes online to save on gas costs/driving time; too much driving time on top of classes would probably be a pain even with my job's very flexible hours. If I can get all or mostly T/Th and/or night courses though that'd be less of an issue

oh I'd also like to try and take courses throughout the whole year to speed things up a bit lmao. gimme all the summer classes.

they DO offer uuuhhh what's it called. work-based learning. which is not guaranteed to pay you (boooo) but I think would still be a good thing to try out just so I can get some experience + (more) connections in the industry maybe?

I mean I don't want to work EXCLUSIVELY on video games, but they don't seem to have any other animation-related options so. I mean I'm definitely still very interested I just wish there were a few more options 😔

I'm hoping I won't have to write any damn essays in these classes but I'm sure there's gonna be some. hopefully with adhd meds it'll be tolerable

The one thing that's kind of holding me back is that because the degree is "Simulation and Game Development" there's not really a strong focus on the 3d modeling & animation that'd I'd kinda wanted. I guess I might could just take the classes that interest me, but that definitely wouldn't be covered by financial aid. It's probably for the best to learn all that stuff though, I have also wanted to learn some programming stuff anyways (mostly to make Minecraft mods lol but I don't know that they'll go into Java.)

I was also considering online schools/courses, which would be guaranteed to be online-only and MUCH more focused on the stuff I want, but those don't really Do financial aid and maybe this is a Boomer take but I'm still kinda leery about the credentials of online schools. Not so much Animation Mentor or Animschool, though I feel like an Actual AA from a Real College™ still carries more weight if that makes sense, but stuff like Udemy courses seem to just kinda be Whatever.

I think maybe I should just go with the AA at Wake Tech and get the basics down. maybe by the time I've finished that I can move on to something like Animschool; L-rd knows I ain't goin back for another BA though lmao

quitting my $31000 a year job has to be morally justifiable because the //pay is not SHIT.// i can't move out. i'm basically getting paid $14.90 an hour (31000, in florida, which is getting more and more expensive to live in) compared to the $18.91 + overtime (x1.5) + penalty time (x2) at the post office. and i got annual leave, albeit at a slow pace (20 hours for 1 AL hour). sure i get summers off but i'd probably have to work then because the PAY IS TOO FUCKING LOW. the teachers hate me. i'm left out to dry by administration and district; i basically got no fucking training whatsoever and just had to figure everything out by my lonesome. btw, this is like one of the biggest school districts in the country, so you would think they'd give a fuck about onboarding, training, and retaining their employees (lmao nope). and this job doesn't really qualify me for shit because at its best, it's desktop support. not help desk, not cybersecurity, not being a network tech, not cloud engineering or some bs like that, it's just me doing my best having used a computer all my life unlike these retarded boomer teachers.

i've never felt so much fucking dread about going to my job EVER. i already applied to go back to the po. because putting aside working my dream job or pursuing my passion and bullshit like that, i just want to move out.

and i want a gf. but i'm getting no pussy here and i have no apartment so i mean like... i'm behind the curve.

...Hey, Melone’s stand is the type that’s bound to a physical object, which is why Babyface can be seen by ordinary people. It’s in a computer.

That means it’s dated.

If we can figure out what brand, model, etc. of laptop[?] Babyface most resembles, and when that type of computer was popularly in use, we’d probably be able to figure out about what year Melone got his stand, and thus at approximately what age he joined the mafia [assuming that how he became a stand user was by being stabbed by the arrow during initiation].

Babyface has several very distinctive features. I feel like it’s probably based on a real machine, even if loosely. It’s pretty clunky, it has handles on both sides of its lower half, it lacks a visible trackball or trackpad, it has a row of strange buttons [and ports?] to the right side of the keyboard, and, interestingly, it doesn’t seem to fold. There’s no actual hinge in the middle, it’s always open with its screen tilted back a bit. Is it really a laptop, or some other type of portable computer? Also, everything displayed on the screen itself is tinted green.

Babyface might not be a standard laptop; it might be specifically a lab machine. Especially considering Melone was using it for medical analysis. Portable lab machines can look similar to this ultrasound machine here:

That particular model is not a great match, but it has a lot of the right features. Just, not all of them, and not quite in the right places.

#JJBA #JJBA VA #Melone #Technology ages like milk; newer and better machines are constantly coming out to replace older and outdated models. #So in theory if you've got a model you've got a year. They usually don't remain popular past like... a year or so after they were released. #Help me figure out which IRL computer Babyface is probably based on so we can learn some Melone Lore lmao #Purple boomer's using outdated as hell tech. Probably from the 90s or even 80s. #Purple boomer's using outdated as hell tech. Probably from the 90s. Maybe even the 80s?? VA is set in 2001 iirc. #Melone's probably in his mid-late 20s during the events of VA. #Does he have a confirmed age??

Ding. A soft chime plays, as another message finally arrives. You've been messaging your cousin for over an hour (though, with how slow they type, it feels almost more like writing letters) and they've yet to actually tell you anything of substance. You half want to be rude and tell them "ditch the small talk, just tell me if my friend is okay or not!" but you just can't bring yourself to yell at a kid. Even if they type like they're sixty. So you continue the formalities.

Several minutes pass, but when their next message arrives it abruptly stops midsentence. Then, after a shorter wait than usual, five messages arrive in rapid succession:

"hey wren dear"

"if anyone asks, lysander killed me then, ok?"

"make it as dramatic and gorey as you want, just keep the story consistent. im turning over a new leaf in my life (:"

"yours, Q"

"ok im giving lil lyric their thingie back now xx"

Reading the messages, you can't help but smile. They're safe. They're okay. They're happy.

You're running out of time to chat, but you quickly type up one more message, wishing them both well and asking your friend to message you once they get a "thingie" of their own.

#writing things in chronological order? i dont know her #anyway this takes place like. months to a year after the previous couple things i wrote abt wren and sterling #my writing #wren #sterling #lyric #[sterling goes by Q here bc they gave wren a fake name when they first met her lmao] #so yea this is my attempt at writing something happy #callout post for sterling: types for a long time and then copy pastes their messages to send them all at once; calls any tech a 'thingie' #callout post for lyric: types like a boomer
