shareThere were no 'playdates'
Your Mom threw you out of the house and you played with whichever kids you ran into on the block
And whoβs ever house you were in front of took care of bleeding noses and lemonade
shareIndeed
And every Mom and Pop in the neighborhood was free to scold you for your jackassery...it kept us little goofballs in line
We didn't have computer games. When we wanted to play war we actually threw rocks at each other and fought with sticks with the intent of striking each other. We didn't start crying and demand safe places or counselling either.
shareHad to type up term papers on a mechanical typewriter. I remember once in junior high I virtually typed out the whole US Constitution on a manual typewriter.
shareAnd liquid paper was the best thing since, well there wasn't anything as great as liquid paper.
shareIt was supposedly invented by the mother of Mike Nesmith from the Monkees.
I remember using these little plastic sheets with white coating on one side and inserting it in between the paper and the hammer and then retyping the letter you wanted to erase.
Never used those, just had the little bottles. I heard the same story about Nesmith's mother inventing it.
shareYou used to give a round of applause, now you have to do jazz hands in case someone is triggered with anxiety.
shareI had to google jazz hands.

The worldβs gone bloody mad.
shareI am glad not to have kids in schools anymore.
shareWow! I thought the article was a joke. What in the world is going on?!
I have kids in school but somehow all the PC things common on TV and the internet have not gone wild there yet.
In Illinois they're going to start teaching preschoolers to celebrate transgenderism starting in 2020.
Schools are nothing but propaganda machines. If I had little ones, I'd have to homeschool them.
The public schools in Seattle are now claiming math is racist.
Everyone's gone mad.
I know Iβm going to regret asking this, but in what way is Maths racist?
shareIt isn't. They're claiming it's oppressive to certain people π because they find math hard.
I'm sure someone here would be thrilled to spin it for you with a goofy explanation.
Oh good grief π Everyoneβs a victim nowadays.
shareEveryone my dear!
That is unless you're white, straight or male, especially a white, straight male! Those are THE worst! πππππππππππππππ
KILL WHITEY!

We have a child care centre in my workplace building. They have all sorts of bullshit propaganda up on the walls. It is sickening to think what they are doing to babies brains.
shareOnly a few of us sane ones leftπ€ͺ
shareWhatever next? No chanting at football matches? No cheering at Rock concerts?
shareI'm going to chant and cheer just to piss off all of the idiots...I'm sure you'll be right there with me Andy
shareThis whole thing just makes me shake my head.
