Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early. Edit: Kids are 30ish.

    I wonder which generation could be responsible for such a “useless generation”.

      Oh, let me add “can’t take any responsibility or else they experience PTSD or some other debilitating mental trauma” to my list.

          Maybe it could have been stated differently but there is a lot of ‘gaslighting’ and ‘feeling triggered’ that seems to occur. Is there a decreased perseverance or resilience? I think grit is the word they use when they compare US schools to those in Finland.

            Finland schools aren’t being gutted by right wing nut jobs and being shot up several times a week due to more fascist nut jobs who would fuck their guns if they could.
