Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?
Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?
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.

Young people can't do anything these days without their emotional support ferrets or without their phones clutched in their hands so they can ask the internet what to think. Also fresh air and green grass is somehow scary to them, as is any kind of social interaction. They also can't take any responsibility for anything or else they experience PTSD or some other debilitating mental trauma.
What a useless generation.
I wonder which generation could be responsible for such a "useless generation".
Probably the next to come. Such a bunch of tossers!
Oh, let me add "can't take any responsibility or else they experience PTSD or some other debilitating mental trauma" to my list.
Lol, tell us how it was so much better back in your day grandpa. Shoe us how out of touch you are and how worthless the opinions of people like you are 🤣
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.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
