To me, that’s just a difference in how people learn things in general. Some people will learn better from watching a tutorial, some people learn from reading instructions and some learn by fiddling around until they figure it out. The best way to figure out how to educate someone is to figure out how they learn things. Not everybody’s brains work the same way and that’s just true for everyone regardless of age.

There was an episode of The Girls Next Door in the early 00s where they go to the Renaissance Faire and they had someone teaching them words from that era and one of them was Sausage Wallet and it cracked me up back then and still does to this day.

I got red shirt Nicole 6 days ago

I need an adult.

Pop up ads in the early internet days are what made me not ever want to click on an ad. Regular people must have missed that era of Internet.

Is anyone else just enjoying seeing people create actual user names again and not just using the automatically generated ones reddit has done for awhile?

What got me is the upcoming one week Nestle and one week General Mills boycotts… Do the people who came up with these boycotts not realize that the stores that carry those products, already paid for those products? And the rebuttal to any skepticism is that it’ll at least get people used to not buying these products or shopping at these places. Do people really need to take baby steps? Is that how much we, as a society, are addicted to buying things? Pat yourself on the back America! Fascism may be quickly on the rise, but good work, you didn’t buy Cheerios for a whole week!

Touché. I’ve grown exhausted of people becoming so unhinged on the internet. I haven’t been on Lemmy long and was thinking most people seemed normal so far… But I guess you’re always going to end up coming across unhinged people eventually.

Sometimes I just don’t understand human behavior.

I think I saw that exchange yesterday. Was it the person that absolutely freaked out over another user being called a male term? (I can’t remember exactly what it was, I want to say “son” but I don’t think that was it). I use Voyager and I don’t see profile pictures or even any descriptions on people’s profiles. I didn’t even know that existed until that person was freaking out and calling everyone transphobes for not knowing.

I really got hung up on the “reuse” part of reduce, reuse, recycle.
