Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-

MODERATORS
Yup, I really admire the ability for the older generations ability to just chit chat. Don't see it with younger generations. People act like they're royalty and only shall be spoken too when it's beneficial for them.
I absolutely can drone on for days if need be, but I do not want to because it's actively depressing to communicate casually and walk on egg shells instead of talking about anything that really matters like philosophy, politics, Linux, media and public transport (both from a societal and engineering perspective - like what's your favourite airbus?)
Why would I ever engage in this waste of oxygen "chit-chatting" is beyond me. I have no need to socialize in this manner.
I have heard from a few teachers it’s a phone thing. Like there are large groups of young people who don’t read faces or body language well because they haven’t done it as much as the pre-iphone generations.
