    they are a weird bunch. They want to be bad and do bad but not look like they are bad. And believe they are owed everyone to be in some sort of alliance that will assure they dont look bad. And then get mad like looking bad is the worst thing ever. worse than the bad things they do.

    “How dare you make me look like im raping this child while i rape this child!”










  • Wrong.

    You can. You just wont.

    You are speaking with an addictive mind that is left out of control.

    That is how addictions work. That’s your ‘situation’. And yea, i do know. I know enough to know when im being bullshitted. I know the bullshit language we use to convince ourselves.

    You are only bullshitting yourself here. Thats the situation. Im not the one who needs to be convinced for you to continue. Because im not the one making you smoke.

    Youre already taken that job on yourself. Every moment of every day. Youre chosing it.

    That is your situation.







  • I disagree with the prefrontal cortex being entirely at fault as there are kids out there that are entirely capable of avoiding dumb stuff and do take warnings. There are also adults entirely capable of doing exactly the same shit while having a prefrontal cortex entirely developed.

    We only take notice of the ones who don’t because they are the ones who make the news cycle and click baits such as this article we’re all commenting on here. Another thing we’re all addicted to and is not entirely only affecting children but also adults alike.

    I think you are also touching on impulse control which does get into mental health area which is another topic overlooked area when parenting and acknowledgment in what kind of limits should be nuanced from kid to kid. They are individuals. Not a hive mind.



  • you’re so convinced that all it takes is forbidding it so we run a society of forbidding children from phones for fear they can’t even monitor themselves rather than educate? Is that your solution?

    cuz of the ‘you invented it and there for i can’t help myself’ ? Are you really buying into that shit excuse?

    all because of a click bait article?

    Cuz this is the precise lazy parent approach rather than educating them I’m talking about here.

    Part of battling that isn’t obtusely buying into these kind of stupid manipulative excuses and rolling up your sleeves getting involved with the nuances.


  • Pipe bombs were easily made because of access to things in the kitchen.

    And smokes are easy access as are alcohol… Some Kids mark the bottle to hide they were drinking it. Some Kids hide they smoke possibly even today. Reason why there’s incense.

    And guns are also easily accessed. Some child related deaths in 80s and 90s in the US because guns weren’t locked up. Now a kid can get one from Walmart and shoot up a school.

    But a lot of this can be shit patents with magical thinking that don’t know how to educate their kids and just leave it up to the legal age so the child gets overwhelmed with being an adult magically knowing all the things.

    Cuz that doesn’t seem to be a factor here in the discussion.

    And that’s an important one.

    Maybe a lot of why the political climate is what it is is for one: lazy parenting. Includes not holding people accountable for making decisions they are capable of making for themselves and instead helicopter the shit out of it till lowest denominator kids learn to get away with manipulative shit like “you let me” excuses like you just did.

    we done comparing all generations to their lowest common denominator?

    Cuz I know not every child is getting up to this shit.

    And I know every not child uses this bullshit excuse.

    They learned pronouns easy enough. They can hear other words too to gain understanding of what the world is.
