High school nerds pay attention. This is how you can make some money and have an excuse to talk to the hot girls…by installing a vpn on their phones so they can still have their tik tok.
Get one popular girls phone set up and every girl in the school will be hitting you up within a week.
And the cycle of infantalizing women continues...
Lemmy does draw a certain crowd unfortunately.
That's mainly the internet, not just Lemmy
Everything will keep going as planned /s
Highschooler here, everyone already uses vpn's to bypass the school firewall to view blocked sites and stuff while on school wifi.
The kids are gonna be alright
And why do you assume everyone including hot girls & popular girls aren't already capable of installing their own VPNs? Unless of course you mean the high school nerd is going to pay for our VPN service, then come on over!
Anyone who can read and follow directions is capable
Most people can't install a VPN, including hot or cold girls
It’s more like most people are unwilling to find or read directions. Most people can do most things nowadays. They’re just unwilling to try.
This shit is like saying most people can't connect to wifi. It's not exactly rocket science.
My guy, do YOU know how to set up a VPN?
I’m sure some do. I haven’t talked to many high school girls lately.
If this goes through and this happened when I was in school…that’d be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’d probably never even think of it then. I’d probably luck into it by telling the rest of the nerd table at lunch, jock overheard, sell him my services, and then word of mouth from there.
That happening now…probably be the inspiration for the gen Z’s “American Pie”. Or “Superbad”.
Are you kidding? There isn’t a phone owning high schooler that doesn’t know how to vpn past their high school’s nanny software. You’re out of touch.
They won't want TikTok once the chumps who follow them stop using it. They'll have to do something other than dancing for strangers to bolster their self-esteem.
