Holy fuck.

CW: reddit-logo and generally horrifying information about the state of affairs. Some choice quotes:

People always say that every generation thinks the younger generation is getting weird, and is crazier. But I believe that what I am witnessing of the gen alphas is just completely different from the type of rebellion of my generation (gen z).

People will keep saying “we’ve always complained about the newest generation,” but society is fundamentally different now and it’s not just this generation. My parents are victims too, slaves to their devices. It seems like only some Gen X and Millennials are at least technologically aware enough to see what’s going on.

The screen and media addiction of generation alpha is actually an emergency that requires government intervention. Its literally like a black mirror episode what this stuff is doing to kids.

They are that incapable of looking at stationary with print on it. If it doesn’t have a back-light and it doesn’t move, it will not keep their attention.

    Kids during the reopening periods were getting 3 discrete re-infections per month and the suburbanites in my office were laughing it off.

    I think the best period of human history to have lived in is long gone, and it’s all going to collapse within our lifetimes. But at least I have some treats I guess.
