The odd thing is the people producing and promoting the mindless drivel that gets tagged to young people are generally 2 generations older. Like it was old as gently caress Ed Sullivan who introduced the Beatles and it was a creepy Boomer who got his rocks off selling boy bands in the 80’s and 90’s. TV in 2030 is going to be straight up rear end eating all the time. loving millennials.

Will there be some backstory on why the rear end is being eaten? Or is it just 23 minutes of salad tossing with a few commerical breaks?

Lighting things on fire, driving drunk, and waking up in a stranger's bed on a weeknight are all rights of passage for each decade of your life. This hasn't changed through all of human history. Especially the driving drunk thing.

Old people have been dipshit bitchy-bitches about the next generation since the dawn of humanity. "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." -Attributed to SOCRATES by Plato, according to William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment, p. 277 (1953).

Samuringa posted:There were several countdowns to young actress turning 18, Emma Watson, Chloe Moretz, Dakota Fanning, pretty much every single Disney Idol The Sun 'news'paper in the UK (owned by Murdoch, of course) had a count-down for when the Olson twins turned 16, which is the age of consent in the UK. Google 'daily mail all grown up' if you want to end up on a watchlist, since you'll have thousands of hits of pictures of children wearing swimsuits and in sexualised poses. I just assume that anyone that deliberately consumes right wing media is a paedophile. I'm usually correct.

hard counter posted:i don't mean to single you out but this particular example's a pet peeve of mine because socrates most likely never actually said this: Yeah. What is true, however, is that people complaining about kids these days and how everything used to be better is nothing new, and there are in fact a number of pretty old texts featuring such complaints. Just not by anyone as important or famous as Socrates. For instance some of the best clues we have to how classical Latin was pronounced are from surviving educational texts from the later part of the period, which complain about common spelling mistakes driven by the different ways those stupid young people were mangling the language.

Not sure what exactly he was hoping to accomplish. And then I think the same guy illegally boarded one of the whaling ships and they whined and complained to media outlets when he was detained. Oh and the time they rammed another boat and talked about how it was all the whalers fault.

Quote-Unquote posted:Yeah that particular quote is a modern, misattributed quote but the fact that literally every generation has complained that the younger generation is whiny, selfish, poorly-behaved and entitled remains true. fair enough but in particular the specific intent that quote was probably misattributed to socrates for was to put the prediction of athen's decline into his mouth knowing in advance how history turned out, so it's a bit more like inventing a fake albert einstein quote where he complains about how terribly all these 1910s german kids are acting, behaving like little tyrants and all, and that surely such awful behavior may one day lead to ruin ... maybe not the greatest example of old men just being habitual complainers without real cause

One day Albert Einstein was walking through the streets of Zurich thinking about science and math and other smart things, when he came across a United States Marine who was adorably playing with a young child, the Marine noticed the physicist and shouts: "Hey! You're Albert Einstein!" "E=MC squared" Einstein exclaimed, his beloved catchphrase. "But what are you doing here?" "Just keeping our country safe. sir." The marine replied. "This kid wanted to play with me and I just couldn't resist" A sheepish grin crossed his face. Einstein thanked the man for his service then began explaining to him what he had been working on, his world-famous special theory of relativity- when the child piped up. "You're wrong sir." "Excuse me?" Einstein replied, shocked and bewildered at the innocent wisdom of a child. "You said that everything in the world is relative" the child continued, "but I think you forgot something. His name is God and his power and love for us are absolute." "i'm sorry child, but I don't think you realize: I am a Jew." Einstein said, dazed. "I don't think you realized that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. John 3:16." The child says. Einstein realizes the child is right, renounces his Judaism and is baptized by the Marine immediately. That child's name? Albert Einstein. Together they solve mysteries while preaching the word of Christ. And if you want to pick up the pilot I suggest you move fast because I already have inquires from Fusion, Velocity, and Sony Crackle.
