  • At the end of the day the selection bias may not apply in a meaningful way as the type of boomer unable to navigate through a simple multiple choice survey would likely not be using the internet in the first place.

    For example my dad is 73 and has never used a computer in his life. Worked as a gardener and never needed it for work. He sends letters to his close ones or lets me or my mom do the typing for him. So there's 0 chance of him getting scammed.

    The younger boomers and older gen X would have likely used computers for about 30 years now so would be much more adapted to it as this point. It's not the year 2000 anymore








  • They didn’t care for many years when /jailbait or /creepshots (pictures taken of women without their consent) was still a thing. It brought them traffic along with all their other porn subs

    They only cared when advertisers caught wind of them & considered dropping out

    From Wikipedia:

    Communities devoted to explicit material saw rising popularity, and r/jailbait, which featured provocative shots of underage teenagers, became the chosen “subreddit of the year” in the “Best of reddit” user poll in 2008, and at one point, making “jailbait” the second most common search term for the site.[3] Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit, defended the subreddit by saying that such controversial pages were a consequence of allowing free speech on the site.[117]



  • Men are like volcanoes. They can be quiet for decades before suddenly erupting their accumulated suppressed feelings

    As a woman, the secret is the unload your baggage to friends one at a time as to not overwhelm them.

    Having a crappy day? Talk about it.

    Relationship issues? Talk about it.

    Feeling stuck in your career? Talk about it

    But don’t do it all at once, otherwise people will feel like you’re misusing them as free therapy, and takes away from the natural give and take between friends/partners.
