Jerry Cotton posted:I follow a book seller on Facebook. He often posts about the media wanting to interview him and they always end up wanting to ask about the demise of books and/or bookshops and/or shops in general and he has to say "I don't know what to tell you, I just opened a new book shop last week About a decade or so ago, I remember a lot of doomcriers in the media going on about how Amazon was going to be the death of the independent bookseller/bookshop. Like Walmart drives mom-and-pops out. A lot of people still think that's the case, when it's the big chains that are the ones going down, like Barnes and Noble, or are gone, like Borders. And there are more independent stores, both new and used, and existing ones have seen an increase in sales.

Skwirl posted:I mean, if the kid's parents constantly talk poo poo about Biden and how he should burn in hell I could see an 8 year old internalizing that. Yeah, my son was a bit older (13) in the run up to Trump's presidency, but developmentally and emotionally closer to about 8 or so. Myself and his grandmother had been having conversations in our household between ourselves about Trump's rampant sexism problem, and when my son was asked who he would vote for (if he could), his answer was "Anyone but Trump. He doesn't like women!"
