Unpopular opinion: sheltering kids from everything traumatic is only delaying the trauma until a time that they are out of the house and don’t have family around. Running across graphic content occasionally online is a facet of modern life. They’ll cross that bridge eventually, no matter what you do, so you might as well be around when it happens to provide support and context.

I know skibidi and rizz, but how does Ohio factor into this generation?

Idk, I’m a full grown adult, and I very much enjoy doing some drugs. Always been glad I got started, even with the various consequences of that decision.

Kids should have time to develop their brains, but adults should get to use or misuse theirs as they please.

If Lady Gaga was the only culture we were spreading, we’d be in good shape.

Chris Cornell is the GOAT. That’s all I have to say.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sending positive vibes from afar. Mom’s are special.

My experience traveling has been the opposite—I’ve been noticing how the perception of modernity in America functions as a control and fear inducing mechanism to keep people from seriously questioning capitalism.

I have spent a lot of time in Mexico, and I personally believe they have their priorities better aligned to give people an existence with some level of dignity. It may not look like American suburbia, but you can take up a cottage industry easily if you are poor, get healthcare more easily if you are sick, and socialization is affordable. Where America nickel and dimes every necessary expense to live, Mexico does a better job of keeping those costs down and taxing luxuries instead.

I’m not saying Mexico is perfect—no country is—but the “shithole country” rhetoric that Trump espouses contributes to an impression that our way is indisputably the best way, and that is simply not true.
