White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    Trustfunders and nepo babies who make no effort to try understand the working class and instead act like they are special or better than other people with different priorities and struggles due to circumstance.

    Mistaking kindness for weakness.

    Fashion policing, especially from religious clergy or judges.

    A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a ‘practitioner’ of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.

    I wear my dad’s classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don’t listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts–you wear them out of respect.

    Adults doing TikTok dances. It’s cringe enough when kids do it but there’s something about a fully grown adult chasing internet fame that’s just gives me second-hand embarrassment.

    People who call others cringe can be pretty cringe. Also people who generalize – e.g. via “all people who call others cringe are cringe” – is a cringe. Also people who stay noncommittal, avoiding vulnerability under layers of irony, can be pretty cringe too.

    Tik Tok brainrot

    Like there are so many cool science videos or even gameplay content on youtube, so many movies and TV to watch on sites like netflix or any of the various media platforms, why are kids watching stupid dances and stupid “viral challenges”

      tbh my grandma considered movies and TV brainrot and my parents don’t understand why people watch someone playing a video game on Youtube rather than playing. I think there are legitimate criticisms of Tik Tok and other social media, but this just reads as that simpsons quote:

      I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

      Dubstep end

      So, today we’ll be teaching you about ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,

      SquareSpace intermission

      Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the ping command. Ping was invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound. ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!

      Random shit until 10:00
