In the U.S., doubt it. My door was taken away at 14 for sneaking out of the house one night and I only got it back a month before graduating high school because my dads girlfriend called him out on it. I honestly wasnt a bad kid growing up. Other than literally a few stupid moments, including the sneaking out, I was normally that sterotypical straight A honor student that kept to themselves.

Also had my door taken away when I was 14 and didnt get it back until a month before graduating high school. My dad is honestly bewildered as to why I dont feel the need to call, text, or visit.

just a guess, but it could be because kids are dumb and we were all kids once trying to figure out the world with no experience. And then on top of that we tend to remember the cringe moments about ourselves even though those moments were likely an after thought to those around us.

Even our local news station re-ran their genZ/millenial shame piece this week on how they dont tip while gen X and boomers always tip. No point to be made. Just "hur dur yOuNgE pEoPle DoNt TiP."

Yeah, thats the one!

Have you heard of a book called Adult Children of Immature Parents? I dont known if it entirely applies to you, but it helped me put words to what i experienced growing up.

Alot. Which is a shame because the app used to be decent a little over a decade ago. I remember using it back in highschool before the gamification and, without paying, it would let you access community forums, review lessons, and a lot of other features now locked behind a paywall or gone entirely.

I still remember when the heart system was first introduced and getting pissed that i had to essentially get everything right to keep moving forward in the lesson or pay to refill my hearts. I uninstalled when it became 3 wrong answers and youre done for the day without payment.

I uninstalled the app years ago and still see this in the play store.

I remember it coming into popularity right around when I started highschool; 2010ish.

Smart phones, home computers, and laptops were slowly becoming more common, at least at my school at the time. It lead to this shift from texting constantly to being terminally online at home after school. I still remember having a difficult time keeping up with the most popular le meme at any given moment because they evolved so rapidly over the course of like a year or two.

We use those large metal bins used in food service because the metal makes it so easy to clean.

Edit:

For me, yes, but thats because im a heavy search engine user and like the customization features. We pay for the duo plan for both my husband and I. My husband doesnt use it much, maybe a handful of searches a week, but me on the otherhand I far exceed the free search limit with how often I search for things. I also love having the ability to block, lower, or raise a specific site in my results. Very satisfying to open up a shit site, see its shit, and then block it from ever appearing in my search results again.

When we replaced our computers years ago we used the old parts to build a low-spec, but functional, computer to hook up to the TV. Paired with a wireless mouse/keyboard we dont really notice a difference in ease of use compared to a streaming device.

As an Americam who was subjected to the pledge in highschool, I thought the same and refused to stand for it starting in middle school. The school cant force you to do the pledge of allegiance, but they dont exactly tell students....or teachers.

Every school year id run into a teacher who took sitting during the pledge to be the same as taking a dump on the flag and send me to the front office only for them to send me right back to class because im within my rights to sit. One teacher in particular angrily "lectured" me, a 16 year old, about how her husband served over seas and me sitting is the same as telling him to get fucked more or less. By my junior year the office staff started making excuses as to why i needed to stand like "teachers check dress code during the pledge" or "they check attendance", but I continued to sit anyway since these excuses were always bullshit.

My favorite detail about this post is the cyrillic writing used for Trump, Трамп, spells out Tramp in the thumbnail. (Learning Ukrainian, not fluent but feel comfortable with cyrillic alphabet)
