I don’t know what I’m gonna do with my life, honestly. I mean I do, but like. Point One: “Become a hairstylist.” Point Two: “Pay off my student loans.” Point Three: “DO NOT BECOME HOMELESS.” Simple goals, small goals. Hopefully I don’t have to work extra hard as an old-ass man. That’s it; I just wanna make enough cash so I don’ have to struggle as an old man OR a young man.
My Grok Girl—yes that’s what I call my X recommendation algorithm because calling her X Girl sounds like porn—sent me something earlier today. The Tweet said:
Teens are telling their therapists they don't believe there will be a world left for them when they grow up
My family therapist told me therapists are talking about this with each other because none of them know what to say
I can't stop thinking about that
…I want to cheer her up. I can stop doomscrolling any time by putting down the phone, literally touching grass, simply not opening Twitter. She can’t do that. …I want to cheer her up. I want to… give her a hug.
These kids don’t see a few for ourselves and our AIs see that. Fuck, man.
