Give her knowledge, patience, and love. We don’t know the mettle of the new generations yet. Have heart. The world wants to correct itself; we just haven’t figured out how to do it yet.
Agree. We do need good people raising good people, to pass on the torch of compassion and all other good.
I’m not saying jump up and have kids, I’m saying there’s a sacred duty available and inherently demanded, in teaching the next generation.
And as we see, we can no longer rely on hardly any facet of our society to do an even passable job, even from those who want to. In the US at least it is down to parents to shape the next generation. (As YouTube, etc., do it for us…)
Yet more precariously, this is true during a phase of human history that I’d argue is newly atomized, yet increasingly dependent on cooperation.
The future looks bleak, yes, and parenting well is one crucial part of any long-term solution to our problems. I say let’s be careful with the dooming, there’s good work to be done.
(…sadly too much work to do, in the literal sense, for me and most parents, but nonetheless)
Yeah, we’re definitely in the nascency of a new age that promises to be harrowing. It sounds like you’re doing it right. We’re intrinsically a social species, and collectivism suits us better than this ugly, “I’ve got mine” mindset I’ve seen recently. I know there’s a lot more to it than that, but thanks for being a conscientious force in the universe.
Yeah, it super sucked to do food production in a high humidity warehouse at 110 deg f, but at least I didn’t get COVID because of that. It was spreading around the Production department while we were making food for FEMA.
Jeez, sounds like all those people shouldn’t have been gathered so closely together, and being forced to work in a 110°F environment sounds like grounds for suing someone. Hospitals were t̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ ̶e̶m̶e̶r̶g̶e̶n̶c̶i̶e̶s̶ ̶ choreographing TikTok dances.
2019? Oh… oh dear.
My daughter is born in 2019. I think to myself im so sorry when I look at her.

With any luck, collectivism will come to flourish, even if we have to get there by being backed into it.
Cheers!

Thank you. I love her with all my heart and I will do my very best.
I don’t doubt that you will. Don’t lose your patience to fear. You are a kindness to the world, and I respect you super hard.
And my son. I know how you feel.
At least by virtue of being so young, she was HOPEFULLY exempt from the insane worldwide mask mandate of 2020-21.

Management bought industrial sized swamp cooler fans. We wondered why we had mold issues.
Oh dang. The only benefit of swamp coolers is that they cost less money than air conditioners. But mostly ugh 🥵💦
It was the whole-ass “ugh” experience.
You are a hateful person, aren’t you?
Nope. Just think COVID was a psyop.
A global psyop?
YES. Do you doubt that could be possible?
The real depressing message is always… 🤢… in the comments.
There, I made myself say it. I apologize if I gave anybody flashbacks to any older, worse social link aggregator platforms.
