It actually works great. I'm not going around saying "hello fellow young people, did you see the top post on reddit?" but it's good enough so that I'm not clueless as to what's being said in our chat rooms and I can comment.
pop quiz: what is rizz? (extra credit for bussy, i'm only a decade out from zoomerdom and i don't know how to break that down)

The blue bubble thing isn’t about iMessage as much as it is about android messages sucking so hard it affects iOS users. SMS/RCS don’t support large files, (There’s no practical limit with iMessage) and video / images look like garbage. It intentionally corrupts the shit out of gps coordinates. It can’t even make decent audio or video calls. It’s tied to a phone number, and there’s no way to know if the recipient num…
My impression was that you could send SMS through iMessage but when it's between iphones it doesn't use old school phone tech at all and just goes through the internet like other web based messaging apps. But only between apple devices of course.
As adults realize more and more people are not daily Facebook users, invites has gone back to other platforms like eVite but overall, the lack of seeing the latest TikTok trend is much better mentally and productivity wise than endlessly scrolling through content I don’t care about.

I don't understand why they don't just make the "reciprocity" argument. The fact that we allow Chinese social networks in the US while they block ours doesn't pass the smell test. To me, this line of argument is easier to rally around as it's more business focused and avoids free speech/national security debates which only serve to muddy the waters
Would you be fine with the same reciprocity regarding car export rules for instance ? On principle the "reciprocity" card can't be used only when it helps and discarded otherwise.
Lets take your auto example: China imposes a 40% tariff on US vehicles, which is extremely high. The US only recently hiked their tariffs against Chinese vehicles to 27%. https://ustr.gov/about-us/policy-offices/press-office/press-...

Are you suggesting that I am unable to imagine browsing Reddit at age 50? Seems like you’re too unimaginative to consider a younger perspective imo.
1) Yes why would you assume a a GenX would not know how to navigate algorithmic filter bubbles? 2) The low quality content on the fyp is actually representative of the state of affairs for many youth. Media and data literacy is not a strong point of GenZ. The amount of ridiculous conspiracy theories(both left and right) going viral is a parallel universe of the infamous boomer political chain emails.
2) this is the kid of comment that makes me feel more confident. Like… shut up. No, you won’t better understand the youth by ingesting garbage and calling them media illiterates just talk to people and ask questions.

More fool you, I'm so imaginative, I imagined the point I'm arguing against. Normally I might apologise and hang my head in shame but age is an interesting thought exercise. So come with me if you will, ignore me if you won't. The point I was trying to make is that you are unable to imagine what browsing Reddit at 50 will mean to you; how important staying contextualised with pop culture will be to you. Your Ego is e…
Or perhaps this is a deeply irritating conversation and insulting line of conversation despite claims otherwise.

As a 20-something guy I can’t imagine this strategy working
It’s not exactly hard to watch a few 30 second videos and pick up some new slang via contextual learning. It’s a skill we all learned in elementary school.
