Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

[nimblermortal]

This is bad. This is bad storytelling, and poor treatment of actors, leading necessarily to worse/weirder acting, and I am pretty sure it’s a result of spoiler culture.

“If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.”

— “Laziness Does Not Exist” by E Price on Medium

(And a footnote I didn’t see explicitly covered in the article: laziness still doesn’t exist when it is you yourself making no progress and not knowing why. You deserve that respect and consideration, too, even from yourself.)

oh my god….there are people alive in this day and age who don’t know how to torrent movies

[glowpop]

a friend the other day was like….”oh i really want to watch this movie but i cant find it anywhere on netflix or online” and i said “oh you can just torrent it” and she gave me the blankest look…and then i said “you know…piratebay? kickasstorrents?” and she just frowned at me…what’s happening to this generation

[lierdumoa]

Guys it’s so much worse than that.

A couple years ago an instructor at my college who taught basic programming courses for game design majors posted on his facebook that a bunch of his incoming freshmen didn’t know how to create a zip file. 

A lot of public schools dropped their computer literacy courses in the early 2000s because they just assumed kids would “learn it at home.” There’s a whole generation of kids who only know how to navigate a touchscreen phone/tablet. They’ve never used a laptop or desktop.

I saved the facebook post and discussion thread – you can read it here: http://lierdumoa.tumblr.com/post/162986545597/image-is-a-screen-capture-of-a-facebook-post

I teach a college English class and not a semester goes by where I don’t have to teach a student how to use the Tab key to indent a new paragraph, because some of them literally have no pragmatic computer experience.

[brodiebutt]

pirate bay and kickass torrents are long gone….. like ofc kids dont know about them…

[glowpop]

they’re….they’re still there. kickasstorrents and pirate bay are still there and still kickin like crazy….in 2019….i think people not knowing about them has to do more with the rise of streaming services like netflix n hulu n shit
