Everyone complains about ai and data centers but…

People use TikTok, Meta (Instagram and Facebook), Google and complain about data centers. And they are terrible and so is AI. Not only from a creative standpoint but environmental and health.
One of the bravest things I think anyone could do, if they truly hated it all, is delete fucking social media.
But they won’t.
We’re all addicted to being seen and seeing others.
Well say the new hottest thing like “fuck Ai” meanwhile contributing to the system itself.

Frustrated with my kiddo

How do I go about this situation.

My son 8, often forgets how to do tasks that are basic to me. We’ve lived in the same house his entire life, he’s known for 4 years how to turn on and off the shower.
It’s one that you have to turn the water faucet and the bathtub faucet pulls down to activate the shower. 1970s house style. I’ve shown him this many times, he does it by himself 98% of the time. Then the 2%, out of the blue, he completely forgets.

It’s frustrating because he will cry and then I’ll come in and tell him, “turn the hot nob all the way on” he will then turn the nob off. “No, turn it on. All the way. Twist the nob all the way on.”
He then acts like doesn’t know how to do just that.
Which of course frustrates me more. And I know his brain seems to completely shut off when I get mad, but I don’t know how not too get frustrated.
It’s such a simple task that he’s literally done time and time again.

Any advice. I love my little guy but sometimes he forgets things he’s done a million times and I don’t understand.
