I also like the old alien. I’m not someone who generally gets upset when companies introduce a new logo, but the new alien is just nightmare fuel. Get away!!
My millennial (or maybe gen x) roommate spends a lot of time on tiltok, so she’s always teaching me (a gen z) new ‘gen z’ slang.
It’s fun, but on the other hand she has a pretty skewed perception of young people. She’s always watching engagement-bait content online, and she seems to think most people my age are complete idiots.
I mean don’t get me wrong, we are idiots, but we’re not a different species or anything lol.
Reminds me of this video by hbomberguy I watched a couple days ago. It talks about (among other things) how the poor quality of VHS tapes influenced the experience of watching movies, especially the horror genre.
All this to say, it’d be funny if a new type of movie/video emerged that’s great for watching on a tiny smartwatch screen but not so much on anything bigger.
I always thought my city’s bus system would be more efficient if they didn’t have to bother with charging everyone $1.50 for a ticket when they board.
In fact, they did have free fare this summer in an effort to improve the air quality. Ridership was much higher, and the driver didn’t have to mess with the finicky cash machine at every stop.
Most of the people who take the bus here are poor and/or disabled, anyway. I’d love it if they could do away with fares, but I know they’re doing the best they can with their limited funding.
Oh god, I didn’t need to see this today. Last night I watched a woman (who was sitting quietly, not causing trouble) be tackled and handcuffed by a security guard inside the bus station. His reasoning was she’d been there too long. The asshole guard called the cops, and it just escalated from there. There’s more to the story, I’m just too angry still to get into more detail. Anyway, in the end, they took her in, and I can’t stop wondering where she is now.
Sorry for the wall of text, I just needed to get it off my chest. I only recently moved to the city from a small, quiet suburb, so I’d never seen this kind of thing firsthand before. It sucked. I wanted to say or do something, but I just stayed feet and watched, bc it seemed like anything I could do would only make the situation worse. It was the same kind of helplessness I used to feel growing up with an abusive parent.
After the cops left, everybody in the station just kind of stood there and shared a collective sick sigh at how wrong the whole thing was. I love my city to death, but I have to wonder, how do people cope with seeing things like this? What do you do with it?
