So far my luck with thrifted clothing has been abysmal besides the leather jacket. But I’m hoping I’ll get luckier the more I try.

That’s amazing! I would love to have books that old!

Hm, like most opinion pieces, there aren’t any hard numbers from studies really shown besides the initial percentages. And I immediately picked up on the second paragraph’s

Compared to older generations, younger generations have reported higher rates of victimization in phishing, identity theft, romance scams, and cyberbullying.

Yeah no shit those metrics will skew towards Gen Z being more victimized if you’re lumping cyberbullying into the mix! They’re one of the first generations that have had to deal with their peers harassing the everloving shit out of them all hours of the day online. As a millennial, I didn’t have to even think about putting up with that until at least high school. I’d really want to see what questionnaire wording they were using for the survey data. If the question was legitimately “Have you ever been a victim of phishing, identity theft, romance scams, or cyberbullying?” then I think almost everyone with a social media account for their whole life would need to check “yes.”

I can’t even imagine what it would be like to go viral and honestly it’s one of my nightmares. Because knowing my luck it would be for something incredibly stupid that would haunt me at every serious turn of my life. “Aren’t you that dude that married dress girl?” would get SO old so fast. But no reason to kill her!
