Ok, but why do they even need side indicators? I thought socks could go on either foot.

Military brat here, half the soldiers I meet are massive nerds and the other half are goobers (meatheads, guys with no prospects, guys who always wanted to be in the army). Take that as you will.

Check out Garbage Time. It's a channel about an Aussie and his mechanic buddy repairing old, shitty cars. Many of the cars are Australian specific too.

My experience in IT is that most of gen z doesn't care about understanding anything on the Internet outside of social media

Yea, I've found this frustrating as the "tech guy"

classmate has a problem

"It's impossible, I don't know how to fix it"

I Fix it with simply restarting the program.

They seem to be completely content with consuming media but even most of the big game streamers are millennials it seems like.

Every generation is like this. Typically, the media of a generation is made by older generations. Much of Boomers music was made by the silent generation. Most of the Millennial pop culture was made by Gen-X and Boomers. I would argue that millennials and gen-z are set apart by how to prevent their own generation is in their own pop culture.

I'm Gen-Z, my parents are older Millennials

Millennials use the Internet but they don't get it like Gen-Z does. Most of my peers seem to have a much better understanding of online culture than most millennials do. They use much more irony in both online and irl conversations.

One thing I noticed was that millennials have weebs, but Gen-Z doesn't. It's not something special for Zoomers to watch anime or be interested in Japanese media/culture. Almost all of my peers watch anime or consume some other Japanese media frequently. My parents didn't watch anime until my sister got them to.

Gen-Z is more individualist in less of a "the only person that matters is me" sort of way and more of a "you can't count on anyone, especially the government to help you" sort of way. You can see this through Gen-Zs political engagement. Most of my peers are differently engaged that millennials. Most people my age don't affiliate with a specific party, but rather by an ideology.

Also, Gen-Z is much more depressed

Ah, but 1 and 2 could be done with the Land Value Tax

Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that...

But, isn't that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I'm not being facetious, genuinely curious.

I like Will Wood, his stuff has been described as "evil jazz", but it ranges from calm and soothing singer-songwriter type stuff to a full upbeat jazz band with chaotic composition and arrangement. I find his lyrics insightful, but they are also often quite abstract.

Cute girls doing cute things have some nice tracks, but many of them feel a bit the same-y.

The Vienna Clarinet Collection has great covers of classic clarinet songs, but classical and jazz.

I couldn't choose one, so here are a few jazz bands I like: Francis Coppieters, Loftys Comet, T-Square, Micheal Lowerstern, Archie Shepp, Sons of Kemet, and Mansur Brown

If it works, sell or donate it. If it doesn't work, you can see if it is worth repairing. If it's not, recycle it. You can check on your municipality's website on their waste management page to see if they recycle electronics.

If you do sell, donate, or recycle, make sure there is no data on the drives that you would miss, then wipe it. If you plan on recycling, you can take out the drive and destroy it. Magnets and paper shredders are helpful.
