Alter matter around me at any scale and have the knowledge to take full advantage of it.

OverlandBaggles  ·  4106 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What happened to the 18-25 year olds on the web.

Honestly, as an 18 year old, I wouldn't worry about it. There are people with low standards at any age, and the only person you can judge is yourself. There's a certain good old days / grass is greener attitude about how kids used to grow up but frankly, people have always been spoon-fed pandering low quality entertainment, people have always been interested in stuff that's not all that sophisticated.

That said, we are in the middle of growing up and we still have more to learn.

But I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that most of the people complaining are also still growing up.

I guess that to use an analogy, when I entered 9th grade, there was constant abuse towards freshmen. It was claimed that we were responsible for every exam, every punishment, and the mess of the school. The upperclassmen told us to pick up stuff they had dropped, and generally were jerks. Ending 12th grade, the 9th graders aren't all that different. They are just an easy target to blame the woes of the community on.

Al Jazeera and the BBC are the two sources I trust the most. Beyond that, aggregations and a newspaper.

I'm a peskitarian. Vegitarians and meat eaters admonish me for going half way along with the usual meat-eaters trying to feed me meat. It's mostly political for me. When I became peskitarian, it was much harder to get kosher meat and so I decided to just eat wild caught salmon. I am uncomfortable with, but accept killing. It's part of nature. But my father has covered heavy abuse in commercial slaughterhouses and I do not want to support the corporations that make that possible with abusive regulation.

I layed this out in a second just because I was curious.
