hey now, some of our parents at least voted against enshitification.
they didn’t do shit like protest or volunteer, but they taught my bro and I empathy quite well.
I like to blame lead, but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence? I think, rather, there is a fundamental flaw in the original patriarchal system that led men to develop toddler-level emotional intelligence, and the women just went along with it.
Now that we have wisened up, accept more diversity, and given some power to women, the toddler men are freaking out because they had their special blanket taken away. And one consequence is accumulation of all the resources.
Sometimes it feels like my mom is the only boomer that isn’t a giant pile of shit. But, I guess you don’t typically teach special Ed for over 40 years if you’re a bad person.
Basically Homelander from the boys
but does lead poisoning correlate with marked low emotional intelligence?
Yes, strongly. Lead exposure, especially in childhood, is known to lower IQ and also decrease empathy.
The other things you mentioned are definitely major factors as well, but yeah all that lead fucked the older generations brains.

“Where do you think that house is going when they die?”
That depends. Do they have a reverse mortgage?
Well my father did all of those things AND hit me
Lucky bastard, no need to go around bragging
Honestly this is the he worst way to make a child stop crying. Threats can cause scars.
“At least I never hit you!” “If I did that at your age I’d get beat.” “I got the belt for talking back”
Yeah I wish I had the validity of physical scars, nobody sees the ones words leave.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but soon the sting will pass
But names can dig so many graves, you won’t know where to stand.
I discovered a song searching your quote! Is that a common expression? I like it.
I was quoting the song! Ludens - Bring Me The Horizon
I think the problem isn’t the “threat” but the implied “I couldn’t possibly care less why you’re crying”
Yes, it’s invalidation of feelings followed by the infliction of physical violence to make the abuser feel better.
I got hit many times. A few times it was physically a little bit bad, but typically I was more upset that my parents had “turned” on me to the point that they would even want to do such a thing. A lot of it is mentally abusive :(

Mine just hit me and did the best they could out there. I don’t blame them just as I don’t call the latest generation lazy whiners. We’re all doing the best we can in our situation given the options we have.
Kids are cool ! Adults suck !
Upvotes pls thanks
Meanwhile you, as a kid, enjoyed the good life because of it.

This is such a shit take. You brought people into this world, you owe them, not the other way around.
The good life is the bare minimum a parent should provide their child.
My parents provided me with a good life. And they used the things that causes global warming to do so, as do you while posting the internet.
They brought me to school when it rained with their car. Bought a color tv, vcr and Nintendo to keep me entertained. We went on holidays during summer with the car or a plane. We went to see car races, went karting. We did boat trips. And I enjoyed every bit of it.
Everyone blaming that generation for global warming. While their survival chances were uplifted times 100 because of hygiene. Clean clothes, warm houses, safe and dry traveling. Electronicss for learning. 1/3 of the people complaining about them causing global warming wouldn’t even survived or be here to complain about it if that generation didn’t use the tools at their disposal.
Everyone thinking that generation caused it and they themselves did not benefit from it are just hypocrites.
That said, we should try and minimize global warming.
Nobody’s blaming previous generations for causing climate change before it became widely known that it was a problem. We blame them (or the ones a majority of them elected, to be precise) for fighting tooth and nail to avoid doing anything once it became clear how big of a problem it is.
Ok, Boomer.
I am a millennial, snowflake.
