@jeffowski I think it's both reasons : essentially without the iPhones, and without kids finding out this information - the world would seem pretty blissful.

@jeffowski @bersl2 Totally agree with OP, but social media is probably partly to blame too. I can't imagine growing up in a world where I can't disconnect from school/social and being mentally healthy.

@jeffowski Not coincidentally, it’s also why parents of kids today are more depressed.

@jeffowski Tracking below water surface really is the issue. 🫣

@jeffowski Off topic: Surely one of them is heading off the dock? 🧐

@jeffowski Love that the author uses gmail.

So true lol.

#Ben (15): yeah, obviously
Me: All I knew is that you're not supposed to pet service dogs
Ben: All I know is that you're not supposed to pet service dogs, and that you're supposed to follow one of it approaches you unaccompanied.

@jeffowski My chickens do this when one of the other chickens is stuck somewhere.

@jeffowski the service dog's friends waiting around the corner to rob you...

@jeffowski same again with skills shortages, but they're withholding the chance for people to gain the level of skills and experience required.

@jeffowski Nobody wants to eat anymore

@jeffowski i like this analogy but also i think you should get your chips anyway

@jeffowski
you mean the times of REAL Kings and Queens and Dukes and the Court and Divine Rule?
That wonderful time I AM SURE I HAVE SUCH AN ANCESTOR SOMEWHERE

@jeffowski Exactly it wasn''t a fun time and women were branded witches if they exhibited intelligence and men could accuse whoever they wanted to of being a witch

@jeffowski You know your antiquated view of the middle ages is actually pretty unscientific and full of false believes!? Don't throw stones from inside the glass house! @acid

@jeffowski

I want to agree, but oligarchs are stringy, dry and smell off.

Tax them robustly, enthusiastically, urgently, with vigor, there's the sauce.

Eisenhower taxed at 90% on some, asked by a business paper why a Republican continued Roosevelt's taxes, Ike answered, "I tax lazy money."

Left middle and right voters ALL SUPPORT taxing Wealth, taxing ludicrous salaries, its popular. Lower everyone eles.

@jeffowski@mastodon.world

Eat the rich, but what kind of sauce?

@jeffowski You know though I think it does seem to happen? I've watched my parents turn so hard right that they now repeat GOP propaganda verbatim and don't even know they're doing it. I had one person who was a friend for something like 10 years become so far right I couldn't stand listening to them hate every single thing any Democrat ever does anymore and just had to leave. Another friend took a similar turn, even voting for trump instead of against Democrats in this most recent election.

@jeffowski Wonderful - thank you 🤩

@jeffowski is there a link we could read? I'm asking because I have been thinking of doing a similar thing (I think it actually was all full moon risings of the year).
