   There is a deep sense of demoralization many young men have been steeped in from an early age that I think for some older guys, is hard to understand. You probably have quite a few fond memories of pre-9/11, pre-"Woke" America, while the 22 year old zoomer has known nothing but the trannymullato longhouse totalitarian surveillance state his entire adult life.
   
   We need more positive examples of how things could be for young men to look up and aspire to.

     yeah, it looks like one even though it's from real instruction video.

     @SuperSnekFriend @Bunsen @berkberkman @synapsid a common thread I see regarding the 80s is that common sterotypes about the era you thought were exaggerated were actually not

     @branman65 @berkberkman @synapsid Yep. This technology should be a testament to who we are as a people.

     @Bunsen @berkberkman @synapsid some older VHS videos had a slightly spooky vibe as the following example demonstrates

     Looks like a FNAF ARG video, though it's based on a real entertainment place in the 80's/early 90's.

     @berkberkman @synapsid a lot of zoomers are oddly infatuated with such things. analog horror is a thing because a lot of zoomers have fuzzy memories of still having a vhs

     @synapsid Now that I think about it, a lot of old tech that the zoomers never had during childhood **should** be preserved, documented, and/or copied for future generations to learn and use, despite their flaws plus abandonment. It should mostly consist of mundane stuff like slide rulers, old Nokia brick phones, CD-ROMs, CRT displays, overhead projectors, analog cassette tapes, and much, much more. It might be too ancient for them, but there's some value in looking back and learning about what got those past generations into wherever they are now.

     @synapsid Maybe prerecorded analog tapes from the late 90's and earlier would be a valuable time capsule that became overlooked once digital media started to replace it all.
