@loweel @lo @thenorthern @umad80 That's not my assumption, but it's interesting that it's your take.

What do you think the assumption is of the younger generation lecturing older people is, which seems to be what this video is showing?

@lo @loweel @thenorthern @umad80

Yes that's true. I have 6 kids at different ages and levels of development. I'd say kids start making their own autonomous choices around 3 years of average developmental age. You're making choices in alignment or in contrast to values you have been exposed to. But unless you lived in a bunker, your parents weren't the only influences. I'd venture to say that today we are exposed to far more influences than we used to be, and culture has changed as well.

I won't claim it's all me when my kids make good choices. They get that credit themselves. They also get credit when they make bad choices.

@loweel @lo @thenorthern @umad80

Another factor (is this up to debate?) is the people are autonomous and not everything can be blamed on one's parents.

This moral flaw - blaming parents, not the individual - may be more detrimental than choice of discipline methods.

It feels like whenever the American left thinks the pope said something that agrees with their politics, they demand just a moment of theocracy.

Love the fact check on opinions about what will happen in the future. They must have time traveling fact checkers now.

Watching claims of Trump 4d chess and also death wishes stream by on the fediverse tonight. 😔

Trump's America.

Biden says Trump has never condemned white supremacy ... Here are 20 times he did just that [video]

San Francisco has opened churches, allowing only 1 congregant at a time?!

Perhaps this is part of a move to allow Nancy Pelosi to do anything she wants, all facilities can have one person, no mask, as long as the person's name rhymes with "Pancy Nelosi".

I survived the #debate (can we just call it something else? "multiple candidates on the same stage"?) by calling my insurance company last night in the middle for a more pleasant experience.

Neither candidate did their best, of Trump had gotten out of his own way last night, things would have come across very differently.

I think it's easy to dislike his tone/style and miss all the content. Seemed to happen to the moderator and most viewers.

@ClearAsMud @Bishop
It's derailing Biden, more effective interruptions. Trump doesn't seem to get derailed or distracted, so the interruptions from Biden don't really cause an interruption.
