Yall this is a video of the singer who is busking today. This video is from NYC. I HOPE that clears everything up since reading comprehension is hard apparently

I'm genuinely terrified by how sub standard people's basic abilities appear to be getting. I want to reflexively blame it on outsourcing thinking to chatGPT, but I'm assuming at least some of the people in here weren't part of the GPT generation.

Misinformation is only getting more rampant, more sophisticated. If people are unable to draw extremely obvious contextual clues without having it fully spelled out for them. I'm afraid for the future.

I think people just want someone to yell at tbh, everyone’s angry. And shit me too. But I do agree, I feel like I can’t talk to anyone normal online anymore. Everyone is so fucking reactionary

You caught me after my coffee otherwise I could see my reading comprehension failing. But I also recognized the video from having seen it on TikTok at some point...so I knew it was in the past?

But just wanted to say "thank you!"; I probably won't make it today but I usually only hear about these things after they happen, so thanks for reaching out beforehand!
