I was born in the 80s. Mom was a teacher, Dad worked in IT.

Both conversations were not especially made out to be a… ok listen carefully we’re going to talk about this now. They were not made out to be a big deal, just happened naturally.

It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn’t matter.

At the time my country was going through a very serious drug crisis, so it was impossible to ignore.

Fortunately the decriminalisation of all drugs lowered the drug problem significantly, but I was in college at that point.

In our country that kind of medication doesn’t get ads.

Only stuff like aspirin, paracetamol and cough drops get to make ads.

It seems absolutely exhausting to live inside your head.

If you’re in your teens, I get it, you’re still developing, you’ll get over it… But if you’re an adult… Oh boy… Please talk to a therapist about all this, you need to vent.

This seems like something you all should be discussing in family therapy.

I’m an atheist but saying things like oh my god or calling for Christ or his mother is so ingrained in my mother language that it’s just a meaningless jerk reflex sound… Like saying ow, or sneezing…

Maybe we need pixelated text reading pupils.

Yeah me and my husbands messages are mostly memes and cat pictures.

I always use the store app to scan as I shop and just pay at the machines at the exit here in Portugal. Hate shopping any other way.

Would you keep the sentient one as a friend?

Not helpful for the current predicament, but good general advice for the future.

Damn, android os versions sound so tasty.

Oops forgot to translate it lol.

It’s RGPD laws.

To be fair most people’s faces are not the shape of the first letter of their name either.

This reads like one of those articles made to scare old people.

I already use keep as my shopping list on a note I share with my husband. Didn’t even know there was a separate Google shopping list, seems unnecessary.

I’m in Europe and haven’t seen it yet either, so I guess it’s just random and we’ve been lucky.

Oh you’d love our “warning: road in poor condition” signs then. Those always tick me off.

In my country there’s sometimes signs that say something like “caution: accident prone area”. I never thought it distracting when driving.
