man i hate the allure of a good grilled cheese. you make one and eat it and its so good and perfect, maybe a little bland but in a good way and you instantly think “man that was a really good grilled cheese, im not entirely full yet, maybe i’ll have another…” dont do it. don’t even think about it. it’s the opposite of oreos. you make your second grilled cheese and 3 bites into it you’re so overwhelmed by the monotony. “this isnt nearly as good as the last one” despite being practically identical. The grilled cheese is a sacred food, it must be eaten hot, and quick. A second one only allows you to stew in the memories of the past (your previous cheese) and your nostalgia clouds your mind, creating an epic fail bite in your newest creation of dairy and grain. Show some restraint.

not to be rude but gen z have a troubling lack of reading comprehension and critical thinking skills which shows in how they interpret like books and shit and also shows in how they write and create content which imo means books are just gonna get worse and worse

[jjohnnygraysonsepitaph]

everything is a soap box to them because they grew up on the Internet during a time where you have to be overly clear in what you say as not to get like sniped by the online thought police. I realise I sound like an insane old hag but like. Cancel culture, YFIP culture, "representation", identity politics and postmodernism has rotted the brains of an entire generation.

Books have to be black and white, childishly morally unambiguous, subtext is abandoned and everything is just so on the nose. Writing books or any other content means you HAVE to get on a soap box. If you don't try to morally indoctrinate your audience every 10 minutes you go to Problematic Jail and get death threats.

There's no metaphor or ambiguity or reading between the lines. You can't have your own interpretations because the author has something to say and you have to absorb it. Gone from death of the author to death of the reader.

Characters don't talk like people, they talk like a twitter PSA, a tumblr "listen up chucklefucks" condescending post about the rights and wrongs of the world and how you should think, talk, act and feel as a person.

At least in the past it wasn't so on the nose. At least in the past you had to work for it. There's no thought required, just consumption. Everything is a commodity. The market rules everything. People's attention spans have been whittled down to nothing.

We don't read/watch/listen, reflect, analyse and discuss. We are spoon-fed and that's it.

I know how this post sounds but damn it, I'm right. Not to be dramatic (and I know every generation says this about the next) but art isn't just dying, its being beaten to death.

The Internet has done irreversible damage to the youth tbqh.

[jjohnnygraysonsepitaph]

Not to talk about the anti-intellectualism!! Gah!!!
