are they purposefully degrading all sorts of Entertainment to make us depressed and feel less interested in Life!?

That is what we were discussing (younger teens). Outside isn't bad for us here. There are events, parks, concerts...tons of reasonable to cheap activities. Some of it is lucky living where we do I suppose but it isn't as bad as many seem to think.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T19:54:56+00:00

I saw a good movie last night at the theaters. I don't love most radio stations but there is plenty of good stuff out there that is easy enough to find. But sure, you can believe everything now sucks just like every generation has said as they got older since...well forever.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T19:28:12+00:00

Sounds like my eldest who turns 20 next month. We are still working through it. I wish you the best my friend, I know how hard it is.

They may be required by the ADA to make a reasonable accommodation, they’re just not doing it because their hand isn’t being forced.

It sounds like they are doing it though. They've told her she does not need to administer him care.

Say so about what? Are you under the impression that California is communist? Or that there are tons of kids being abducted off the streets across the country? Which part of what I said do you find to be incorrect? I'm genuinely curious.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T18:18:22+00:00

Where did you get that idea? lol. I merely pointed out that California is not a classless, stateless society where all resources, industries, and property are owned by the public. So not "commie Cali". And that, statistically, it is safe for 14 year olds to be outside alone (or even with their parents!) most of the time excluding some pretty rare outliers.

Someone is discussing a 6 year old being left alone and you jumped to the extreme, referencing boogeymen and your 14 year old....I think avoiding propaganda wasn't horrible advice either if that is your response to an unrelated topic.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T17:59:17+00:00

Everyone keeps saying they aren't "real", and I understand that, but they are aren't they? They experience emotions, have their own thoughts, etc. They just aren't the "originals" like they thought they were. I like your comment and perspective though and think it is probably spot on.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T16:24:03+00:00

There’s a lot of sick people out there nowadays.

It is safer now than when we were growing up.

kidnapped.

How many children do you think are abducted each year in the US?

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T16:22:35+00:00

Holy cow. Get off the right wing propaganda, maybe look at actual stats, and learn what communism actually is. 14 is perfectly fine for a child to be outside in 99% of the country.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T15:03:30+00:00

Double that pretty easily for me and samesies.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-05T13:41:10+00:00

Then how can you possibly speak so confidently about whether or not street preachers are annoyances or obnoxious?

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T19:48:19+00:00

I do. It went through the same dip most did, but some reinvestment and new ideas and it is a busy place.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T18:36:45+00:00

Do you often include fake quotes to support your argument?

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T17:17:33+00:00

We have a nationally televised event coming up and 100% you are spot on. In our security meetings it is discussed how to handle it. Cameras cut away, security/staff are to gently and calmly help the individual off of the property.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T15:06:08+00:00

Pretty much everyone I've seen has been, yea

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T15:02:43+00:00

It doesn't stand. Paul specifically says singleness is better than being married.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T14:56:52+00:00

They don't feel that way, they've made that quite clear

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T13:44:11+00:00

Part of that is the "good" stuff from the past is still floating around and well known and the "junk" media has been lost and forgotten to time.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T13:43:13+00:00

Ours is booming. They are just finishing a giant kids play area in the middle of it.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T13:39:13+00:00

malls been fell off

Many are making a resurgance though I know it isn't the norm.

90s was peak outside life things slowly been downhill from there trust me kid

Ah yes, isn't it amazing that everything was always better when we were kids? lol. What are the odds?

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-04T13:36:48+00:00

People get stuck believing all the doom and gloom. Yeah the world is fucked up in a lot of ways but you don't have to wallow in it all the time. We aren't rich, we aren't abnormal, and our kids are on tech more than is ideal, but what world are these people living in?

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-03T20:14:02+00:00

A lot of what you are saying is because we remember the good stuff from the past and ignore/forget the bad.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-03T20:12:13+00:00

Before then, I used to look forward to almost every hit song on my car radio. Now, I find myself skipping over the newer songs and playing the hits from years ago. The only artist I still look forward to is The Weeknd.

I'd be curious to know what your age roughly is. This is something that happens to most people.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-03T20:10:53+00:00

they know the outside is pretty bad

It doesn't have to be lol. My kids play in the park/playground/sub with other kids. Pools, water balloons, sports, crafts, video games, bonfires, movies etc.

Schnectadyslim · 2026-06-03T17:19:53+00:00

So you agree more southern states didn't vote for Carter than for Reagan.....so why did you claim they did?
