Ytlaya posted:This aspect always confused me, because from what I've seen/read (which admittedly isn't everything; I think I've read through the third book?) the book seems to portray Khaleesi in a relatively positive light as being the "rightful" ruler. But viewed objectively she just feels she's owned the throne due to her heritage and is willing to kill thousands of people to make that happen. Grrm read lotr and decided to come up with a sympathetic backstory for sauron

This country is hosed Fun thing is this is probably because Japan has huge rates of untreated mental illness frequently as a result of child abuse and a massive stigma against treatment, a dearth of employment opportunities for young people and a general total disregard for the welfare of anyone under 60. No wonder they're all watching anime, it's the only thing that acknowledges their existence. So yeah, we're all just 30 years behind Japan.

I remember reading Cracked Magazine and Mad in like the early 90s and every other joke was about how the Japanese were going to completely own America's economy. Then they had a huge banking crash and never fixed their poo poo. Hopefully America has great cartoons.

But we are already seeing younger generations retreating wildly into escapism because of mass alienation and disenfranchisement, when they aren't finding reasons to get really mad and go out in the street and fight people.

rudatron posted:the article is bad because it blames smart phones and social media, not the massive increasing in housing prices or the absolutely poo poo job market (whose numbers are massaged by politicians to hide the growing 'two speed' economy). As I understand it the article isn't talking about millenials (the housing and job markets are very much millenial problems), it's talking about the as-yet-unnamed generation that comes after millenials who are largely still in school and as such aren't old enough to be hosed over by the housing and job markets yet

got any sevens posted:yeah, but there is still some influence, the kids in middle/high school can see which way the wind is blowing and realize their generation is already doomed. my sister is pressuring her kids into prepping for college while they're still in middle school, but they'll have to take out loans and wont be able to repay them. plus dumbfuck suburban life spreads out and divides kids so they're less able to congregate anyway, so of course they latch onto phones or videogames Pretty much. Nothing happens in a vacuum. That article was honestly much better than I was expecting. Even though it's mostly data about phone use and they should just put it down, this line stood out for me. quote:Independence isn’t free—you need some money in your pocket to pay for gas, or for that bottle of schnapps. In earlier eras, kids worked in great numbers, eager to finance their freedom or prodded by their parents to learn the value of a dollar. But iGen teens aren’t working (or managing their own money) as much. In the late 1970s, 77 percent of high-school seniors worked for pay during the school year; by the mid-2010s, only 55 percent did. The number of eighth-graders who work for pay has been cut in half. These declines accelerated during the Great Recession, but teen employment has not bounced back, even though job availability has. The flaw here is that there was an actual recovery. For ninety some odd percent of America there wasn't. Jobs aren't available to teens. The average age of fast food workers is 29. It's not like they can get a car loan to get a job in the gig economy. There's not a place in the work force for teens. Another line that stood out to me was how little non-college bound kids care about school. quote:If today’s teens were a generation of grinds, we’d see that in the data. But eighth-, 10th-, and 12th-graders in the 2010s actually spend less time on homework than Gen X teens did in the early 1990s. (High-school seniors headed for four-year colleges spend about the same amount of time on homework as their predecessors did.) The time that seniors spend on activities such as student clubs and sports and exercise has changed little in recent years. Combined with the decline in working for pay, this means iGen teens have more leisure time than Gen X teens did, not less. I mean gently caress why would they? Again nothing happens in a vacuum, they watched their parent and or grandparents get completely wiped out financially in 2008. They see from their parents and older siblings that college is only a route to a mountain of debt and maybe a tenuous existence in the gig economy. Not going to college is even worse. They have no future, no hope. Capitalism has deemed them economically worthless. America's social contract has been frayed to the point of complete disintegration. Why wouldn't they just give up and post online? Focusing on phones as the problem with kids is like focusing specifically on opioids as the problem for the working class instead of what's driving people to drug themselves to death.
