Do you think kids during the industrial revolution had that same weird millennial/gen z experience of having technology change so much while they were growing up

If you and your partner practice frequent, non-sexual consent, your relationship will be healthier and easier.

“Are you comfortable with me ranting about my day for a few minutes?”

“Oh, this is your poetry? Would it be okay if I read it?”

“Do you mind if I use your phone for a few minutes?”

“Wow, your meal looks awesome. Could I try some?”

It will save a lot of grief, especially in a developing relationship. Eventually, with consistent “yes’s” and “no’s” you can figure out more permanent boundaries and guidelines.

“I need to ask before ranting about my day or taking their food, but my partner is okay with me using their phone whenever. However, my partner does not like me reading their poetry unless they offer first.”

And this goes for friendships too! Even just stuff like “do you mind if I leave this door open?” 

the difference between ‘i’m 17’ and ‘i was born in 2002’ is night and day my dude bc if u tell me ‘i’m 17’ i’m fine but if u tell me you’re from 2002 then shouldn’t ya be wearing diapers rn
