I've got a 4 year old, screens are like crack to them. If we don't watch any TV or YouTube all week he tends to forget about it, but watch one ten minute video and there's meltdowns for the next several days because he wants to watch constantly. Adults can't keep their phones out of their hands, and we all know social media is poison.

I can't imagine how neglectful a parent must be to give a 5 year old unrestricted Internet access.

That said, what Ragnarok server are you running or playing on? Been a good few years since I scratched that itch lol.

I think I had a stroke reading this.

From what I'm gathered, you believe no at home DIY mechanic should be changing their own brake pads? It's not complicated, I completed my first pad change when I was 16 with a diagram and instructions a tow truck driver wrote on the back of a takeout menu. I did the sensible thing and tested them before moving and again at low speeds in a parking lot.

I've got an incredibly sensitive nose. If you've used more than one spritz of perfume or cologne I literally can't be in an enclosed space with you. My nose begins to feel like it's burning, my throat tightens, I can only think of how to escape your wretched stink.

IDK why anybody wants to smell like a mix of stale piss, dead flowers and sandalwood.

I'd say you want a human CEO so there's accountability, but I don't know that's even true anymore.

The older generations have almost certainly doomed humanity. We need sweeping environmental reform, a better education system, and to have something to combat rampant consumerism.

You don't need a new car every five years. Your phone's fine. Will festive mugs you use once a year really make your life better?

As I get older I continuously get more mad at the older generations.

That's the thing about the Internet. You can try to spin the story however you want, but it's never truly gone. Push too hard and you'll end up with the Streisand effect.

Yup, but they actually built one in Vegas. It's a joke. It's two Tesla with drivers going about 25mph in tunnels.

Because it's nonsense. We're a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they're selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.

Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don't matter anymore.

The right is a bunch of braindead babies led by whatever emotion their TVs and social feeds tell them to feel. Traitors to throw country and constitution. Despicable.

We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We're here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK's I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There's lots of room for improvement.
