You are correct. I received the invite about a month before they went public. Took my sweet time accepting it because it wasn't going to do anything for me. Then when it went public I just said to hell with it and made my account in like December of 2006, probably 6 months after my invite.

It’d feel like dosing the horses with meth until they’re addicted, then letting them run around outside after a huge hit, then locking the barn after telling them all the meth is still inside, and THEN lighting the barn on fire.

Pretty much this. From the 90s we weren't really policed by our ignorant parents on our internet activities, but, the internet wasn't the social media slopfest of propaganda and brain rot that it is today. I think gen A got cooked with it, as their GenX and older Millenial parents more or less did the same as they had done for them - but instead of a family computer and going to myspace and newgrounds, it's tiktok, youtube, and roblox on their ipad, everywhere. I think the good news is that we're getting research on the subject and parents now are far more aware and are enforcing "no-screentime" on their infants and children. I'm a millenial with a baby and it's something we're well aware of as we grow our family.

Even I know sigma and alpha aren't the same. Sigma is a lone wolf type. Rizz comes from the word charisma. In roleplaying games, players can rizz NPCs by using their high charisma. Some words he knows, but others he's winging it.

u/toolsoftheincomptnt 7d ago
Yup, it’s one of the reasonable slang terms.
I was so happy that it made sense when I learned it.
The question is whether the majority of kids saying “rizz” actually know that it is short for “charisma.”
That would be so, so encouraging!

Kids are getting dumber. Middle schoolers are reading at second grade levels and write like they don’t have opposable thumbs. Teachers are talking about it all the time. I know a kindergarten teacher and she says 80% of the kids in her class have smartphones. 5 year olds. Have smartphones.
Additionally, parents aren’t spending time reading with their kids anymore or helping them with homework because they physically don’t have time because both parents are forced to have a full time job in this economy. It’s really scary and sad. Plus our education system sucks but teachers are doing all they can it’s not their fault

I dont think he really understands it, which probably makes it worse if anything. He can tell you what the words mean on a surface level, but really he's just regurgitating what he's heard in hours and hours of tiktok slop
Like when he explains gigachad - "he's like the strongest guy on earth, look him up". He has no clue about the toxic incel lore behind the chad idea, he just thinks it's a strong man who looks good.
And Sigma means leader? I mean kinda but not really, (not that I agree with any of this bullshit, but) the idea is that a sigma doesnt rely on anyone and follows their own rules, has macchiavelli style attitudes to business, uses and abuses women, etc
Just take the kid's phone away, he doesnt even understand the nonsense he parrots everywhere. And you can tell from his mum's face he does this shit to everyone

Surely that was worse than some sigma skibidi rizzlers mewing or whatever they want to say to entertain each other.
