I'm noticing that adults are often very offended when they see a child who has something they themselves didn't have in their childhood. I've had someone randomly start ranting about how their own grandchildren have 'too much toys', and how they don't appreciate any of it. They went on to explain how they, as a child, only had one toy, and they had to play with that one alone. They're also upset that children can now use phones, which also wasn't an option in their own childhood.

This is concerning to me, because while busy noticing all the things that children have, which are toys and phones, people don't tend to notice the things we had that are no longer available to the new generations. Planet free of pollution, free of climate change, adults got to experience that. Economy that isn't in this bad of a state, availability of jobs, education being worth something, financial safety, probability of owning a home. All of this has critically declined and turned into unstable, unreliable and difficult to manage situation for children, to the point where there's no clear path to a safe future anymore, for anyone. Current children have to invent jobs and find a way to produce a safe future without relying on an existing path, something that was available for most of the population in the past.

And the availability of phones and toys is not necessarily a luxury; back then nobody had a phone, or a mountain of toys, so it would be unusual and privileged for just one child to have it. But when everyone has that, it would be unusual and almost humiliating not to have it. The prices of these had reduced, they're more available and easy to get. The phones connected to the internet will ensure that the child will be exposed to a lot of information every day, and they'll have to find a way to deal with all that, it can become overwhelming and damage their attention span and emotional stability, if they're constantly exposed to distressing or disturbing information, which often finds its way to kids.

What will it mean for their life, if they had toys and phones as kids, but later on, they don't have a safe job? They can't hope to have a home of their own? They are not at freedom to financially plan their futures, their families, they have to depend on their own parents or relatives to get by? What will it feel like when they can't count on the climate and safe and reliable food sources? What when they're suffocated by the financial demands of just staying alive and fed? What if they don't have anyone to help financially? What if they're rendered mentally ill by the stress and perils happening in the world, all of it so close to them via constant overload of pain and suffering?

Having toys and phones is nothing compared to having an experience of a safe, stable, predictable life, on a planet with a normal, stable climate. We failed to secure this to our children. We have no business being jealous that they now have a phone.

#generational gap #climate change #adults being jealous and dumb #lack of stability #lack of a safe future

I think it’s be funny to have a Spider-Man that is genuinely just a kid, not like a teenager or a kid who understands the gravity of his abilities but a kid who does heroics simply because that’s cool to a kid.

The gimmick is that the villains think it’s a gimmick and Spider-Man(?) fucks with them by acting like a kid to make ‘em feel bad or embarrass them only for them to realize he’s a literal child due to a forced team up where they like offer him a brewski afterwards and he’s legitimately like “Mr I am 9 years old, I just do this cause my aunt can’t take me to the park every afternoon.” And they grill him on adult things and he sits there just blanking cause he’s fucking 9.

#uncle Ben dies still but it’s not Peters fault but he ends up idolizing super hero’s hard #cause he believes that if one got there in time he could’ve been saved and dreamed of being the hero to do it #and then he got bit on a school feild trip to an oscorp sponsored science center where a mysterious new breed of spider was being shown and #got out and being the brave boy he is he found and caught it but not before being bit #all the villains are the same age if not a tad younger give or take a year #and they alls are like does that new hero seem a little childish? yeah he acts like a 4th grader and peters like #um actually a 5th grader 🤓 #he’d still be scarily smart for a kid his age cause the villains are only slightly more forgiving in this version #all his friends are his age and he’s a paper boy for the daily bugle instead and he would end his adventures reading the paper about his #exploits like his very own comic book and he sends in pictures of himself doing dumb stuff as a joke but Jameson is like #this ten year old is our best photographer and Eddie ‘grown ass has beef with a kid’ Brock hates him #like tbh only harry mj gwen and his high school mates are his age villains are adults cause it’s funnier #peter parker #peter b parker #spider-man #spiderman #spidersona #Spiderverse #a technicality but yeah #Spider-Man(?) au #I’m gonna think about this for a bit

mannn why dont they make picture books for adults. i think id be more eager to learn if it felt like someone was trying to make it fun for me

#i dont even mean in a demeaning way or dumbing smth down i want it explained to me as an adult AND with cute graphics #maybe its just me but when i feel like im being talked down to id rather ignore it than suck it up and take what i can get #actually this is probably why i like field guides. i get practical knowledge AND pictures of cool birds and fish #yapping

really sucks when you realize you and a friend have just kind of grown up as two different people and don’t mesh together like you used to and like you have so much history you don’t wanna let go of but you’re absolutely miserable in the friendship

#to delete #the girl i’ve been friends with over half my life is just so insufferable now #she’s very pick me and likes to nitpick absolutely everything for no reason #absolutely DESPISES genz and tiktok for some reason #puts down everything about me and it feels targeted but she does it in ways that it comes across like it’s not #so when i call her out on picking on dumb things like kpop fans or genz i look like a psycho bitch #she very much just has to speak up on everything she dislikes instead of just letting people be happy #like it’s shit that’s not bothering anyone #she once went OFF because i’m afraid of bugs and ‘most girls’ are afraid of bugs but SHE isn’t afraid of them #and im like yes girl we pick you please stfu #it’s always just little stuff that doesn’t matter but 98% of the time has to do w something i like or don’t like #so it feels targeted and then i speak up and the rest of our friends are like ‘calm down it’s not that deep’ #idk i just like…..she feels the opposite about a lot of things i feel #and then has to act superior for being opposite of me #also being so angry over a generation of young adults/kids and an app for no reason…… #idk we just don’t go well together anymore and idk how to bring it up

I'm too stupid for any of this

#Sorry for the inactivity. Not that anyone is bothered but meh #Depression and irl shit #Idk. Feel like i'm growing worse #I hate asking for anything. Because it's make me too aware of how dumb i am. And then make everyone aware of how idiotic i am. #But i need to ask. #Imagine being an adult and yet you still need to tell people to talk slow and repeat things over and over. Because i'm just that braindead.

How am I supposed to be an adult today when there’s so much new Tiva content (and possible teases for future Tiva??) on my dash???

one of the things that gets me about fanon lens - especially when you entrench yourself so much in a fan version of a character - is how a character can just slowly be stripped of what they are and who they are because of the self referential nature of fanworks (which isn't inherently bad, don't misunderstand; neglected characters can have new life breathed into them)

which is a long way of getting to: where did people get the idea that estinien's not one to talk, or is bad at effectively talking? I don't mean selectively mute hcs, i mean just very curt. like he's not as flowery as many of the scions or even compared to aymeric, but he's still dramatic and talks a lot. he's precise when he needs to be and extremely blunt, but just because of that doesn't mean he won't ramble

like his whole tangent about where he is today because of the wol right before the Dead Ends in Ultima Thule. his chattiness seems to fluctuate with how comfortable he is with someone, so i'm not really sure where "estinien's bad with words" came from?

he's no politician, but he's good at saying what needs to be said and saying it in a way that matters. yes, there is the whole aymeric thing but avoiding a difficult conversation rooted in guilt isn't the same as being bad at talking. he clearly knows how to get to people - especially to antagonize them into action (see: tiamat, azdaja) - so where did this come from?

#ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #estinien #original #again: this is not knocking mute or selectively mute hcs. this is about the people who think he's bad with words #i really suspect it has a lot to do with the similar thought of him being illiterate must mean he's stupid #we don't know his literacy level. he was a farm boy so its not aymerics level but hes not inherently illiterate #and even if he was that doesn't mean he's dumb. he's extremely emotionally intelligent and how he communicates shows that #but in order for it to show he has to be good at word intentionality and this fanon idea is the exact opposite #he's not dumb? he also talks a lot but he's very good at saying what needs to be said #none of that says bad at words or speaking like fanon thinks #its p squarely the opposite. he just has interpersonal communication issues #which is an entirely different thing and screams neurodivergent but leave me alone #im just saying like #idk give him a break and stop finding ways to make him stupid because you think rural means uneducated and uneducated adult funny

hot take, heavily penalizing teenagers for causing each other head injuries, even unintentionally, is good, actually, and the nhl could stand to take a page from the iihf book on the way that standard is upheld (for all ages).

“how are you gonna prepare them for the nhl if the rules are different?!” this is not an nhl run event. this is not the george parros department of player safety or the gary bettman league. this is not the ‘nhl prospect practice and preparation tournament’, this is the world junior hockey championship. it is its own entity unto itself and for its own ends, it is not just a stepping stone for your favourite budding superstars to gain prestige and fanfare before they move on to the only “big league” that north american hockey fans consider significant or meaningful. it plays a larger role in the development of not only players, but also of entire hockey training programs in countries where hockey, even men’s hockey, is an under-funded or less established sport.

not all of these kids are going to go on to be nhl players. ALL of them should get the chance to grow up to be adults who don’t have their quality of life degraded by lingering head injuries and cte.

miss me with your tough guy bullshit. good grief.

#if you start being dumb on this post I will turn reblogs off #i coach a sport where we’ve also had to wrestle with increased awareness of head injuries #and how that changes our procedures and gear #I was an athlete in our no-helmet era and I am a coach in our helmet era now. I have seen both sides #I have sat at the center and in both sides of the helmet debate within my own sport. I have taken the education modules. #I have seen my friends get severe concussions right in front of me as a teen and the effects of that #I have sat watch on a concussed child as an adult. waking her every three hours. to make sure *she could still wake up* #every head strike is a potentially irreversible injury. brain cells don’t grow back no matter how macho you are. get a fucking grip. #world junior hockey championship #world juniors

"Major." "McKay? My radio's working." "Which is how I'm able to speak with you, yes. Do you have a second?" "Tell me you found the field generator." "I found the field generator. And obviously, the off switch. Better than that—-the device is powered by a zero-point module. It's definitely possible the EM field's been on-line for centuries. As far as I know, only a ZPM is capable of powering it that long. I've shut it down. Everything's working now." "So you've disabled the shield?" "Just temporarily. I need to get the ZPM back to Atlantis, see if it's worth taking." "We cannot just take it. It is their only source of protection against the Wraith."

I wrote out a long post about how exhausting it is to be online when everyone is so absolutely devoted to being negative about everything all the time. According to twitblr everything is the worst it's ever been, no victories have ever been achieved, and anyone who says otherwise or has any semblance of hope or joy in their lives is a naive idiot being manipulated by the vague yet menacing Ruling Class.

Then I didn't post it because I'm usually fine about receiving negative comments but I swear to fuck on this post in particular having someone try to dunk on me by telling me "actually everything IS the worst it's ever been and you're just a neoliberal cuck" WILL be the last fucking straw for me

#i'm not ready for the tumblr curse of 'post drawing the EXACT sort of person it was complaining about' to activate #i'll probably post it later though #maybe right before i go to bed. by the time i wake up in the morning negative comments on the internet will not affect me #because i'll remember i'm an adult with an actual job to do and the internet is a dumb fake place that doesn't matter #but yeah. being online has been pretty rough on me lately. have y'all ever considered just taking a W once in a while #without doomsaying about how it's actually nothing that will help no one and we all just have to die about it

SO SO SO SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED UGH

does anyone else feel like THEY should be the manager at their job and not the actual manager???? because i spent the last 4 hours of my life making sure everyone else was doing their jobs, doing the managers jobs, ensuring the store was closed correctly, AND somehow finding time to do the job i’m actually rostered for????

to conclude my rant, i should be riding someone’s face to destress. i should be fucked so hard i turn into a braindead, whimpering, whining puddle. i should be getting slapped and whipped and marked up so the endorphins can take away the anger.

Okey… because I feel like every fic writer has a different idea and I lose it every time:

Zane’s age is more complicated and he Is probably like 100 years old at this point BUT, for the others, please explain your reasoning if you can… please?

#like for me the 4OG stopped being teenagers on season 4 #they had jobs and Kai was drinking my brain just went -Oh so they are all adults now- #idc about Kai said in season 9 they aren’t teenagers #Kai was an alcoholic on season 4 #you either say that they are adults and you are making your teenagers do dumb shit Lego 😭 #but yeah idk tell me your thoughs #Ninjago #dragons rising #kai smith #kai ninjago #cole ninjago #nya ninjago #zane julien #nya smith #cole brookstone #jay walker #jay ninjago #lloyd garmadon

i dont know or care if this is fully accurate idc tbh i just had to make this real fast to spite this one post i saw that was basically this meme except it infantalized misty and flint by putting them in the bottom row so i had to fix it <3

#toontown #ttcc #toontown corporate clash #ok uh. #i am not going to tag everty single cog tbh. its too much. #instead i will use these tags to complain #abt the infantalization of adult characters #the cogs are adults . theyre not tiny infant children #and i hate. seeing misty and flint treated as little uwu cinnamon roll babies #the worst part is that they get infantalized bc of #misty being lonely and sad and wanting to make friends #and flint having. crippling anxiety and being shy #why are you. babying those traits?? thats kinda weird!! #this isnt even just about one post either. this happens to them a lot. #just in general #being lonely and anxious are real adult problems . why are we. ok. #flint infantalization is especially dumb because #he literally dislikes belittling? #his whole character is wanting to be more confident and struggling with it #why would you?????? infantalize him #if u infantalize flint he literally doesnt like you #...bc ur belittling him #imagine missing the point that bad #sorry i have been silently brewing abt this . i need this all out there. #sometimes u just gotta be a hater.

what they don't tell you about having posts blow up is people will compete for the opportunity to be The One who adds something onto it in the hopes that it will become The Definitive Version of the post that goes around. this can range anywhere from pointless but harmless commentary to annoying garbage that's an active diversion from the point you were trying to make

#i don't really care about the 'growing up means you love both your fun interests and adult stuff' thing #it makes people happy so who am i to say anything #but the laundry post actively boils my blood. dude it was a post about overcoming executive dysfunction #i mean ok sure it's fine to turn it into a silly joke about losing socks i guess #could be way worse i shouldn't be so mad about it #but like duuuuuude it was actually meant to be wholesome and inspiring.............................. #doing laundry is a great way to get your clothing back.... peace and love..... #suit yourself but come on mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn #peach rambles #also bc the person who added it seems to be the sort of funnyman who's always adding dumb annoying stuff #if you make a 'career' as a blogger being that kind of person i will never find anything you say interesting #real comedy comes and goes with the situation you can't try to force it anywhere or on command
