young men are the worst. oh, hi melo


I wrote a story about a hostage situation in a video store based on the one that i worked at during those days. It was horrible and i think it included a rape joke. :noway:

I'm glad I've lived long enough to realize how much of a little tool I was.


You ever see the social media thing where they state "If you could travel back in time, what would you say to your younger self?"

My reply is always "I'd visit my teenage self and give him the beating he so richly deserves"


If your teen self projectiled into the future would they administer the same beating to you now?

That's not anger.

That's the concentration required to maintain a butt plug clench for 2.5 hours on game nights

Yeah, but I’m. It really talking about expanding his game. The Knicks just have to do a better job of maximizing what he already does well:

• Corner 3

• Trailer top of the key 3

• Back door cuts to the rim (run some plays wit him cutting & iHart facilitating)

• Just more touches in general cuz he is an unselfish player and it’ll inspire others to keep the ball moving


It’s also on OG because he got the ball in a few spots and was afraid to shoot


He’s still getting comfortable with his teammates. I think he’ll be fine.

I think about this all the time. I wasn't a 'bad kid' per say, i kept out of trouble, did well in school (well, aside from math f*ck that I'm too dumb for all that) but there are things that i had said and some nasty beliefs that i had that the me now would absolutely punch my younger self for. To this day i feel like crap about how i used to be.


That separates you from the **** who get the opportunity to learn better and never do. Obviously we all wish we could've just been perfect from the get go, but the fact you feel that way about your younger self too, is how you know you're one of the good guys now.

:lol:

Young men keep getting worse these days too. Seems like the majority of high schoolers these days will never read a whole book for the rest of their lives. And if they lack street smarts they are patterned off what they consume online.

I guess that makes RealGM one helluva place to grow up


I dunno man, I feel like kids are way better than my generation was. We bought way too hard into the "apathy is cool" BS, so they care a lot more about stuff, including each other. Kids will always be kids who don't know any better and I won't understand why they care about some of the stuff that they do, but how empathetic this new generation is really drives my optimism for the future.

I dunno man, I feel like kids are way better than my generation ways. We bought way too hard into the "apathy is cool" BS, but they care a lot more about stuff, including each other. Kids will always be kids who don't know any better and I won't understand why they care about some of the stuff that they do, but how empathetic this new generation is really drives my optimism for the future.


We have more information available than ever even if critical thinking skills are in decline overall. Those who wish to create a better world tend to have more empathy or at least have the sense to know it is in their interests to consider how we live today will determine our future as a society.

The zeitgeist is driven by circumstance and to be 15-25 now is to be handed a turd sandwich by older generations. It should fire younger people up and I do hope there are going to be brilliant and thoughtful people who lead from Gen Z.

On the other hand, the empathy and future vision you're talking is often highly abstracted. Those moral frameworks in real life situations can often be highly reductive and absolutist. This too often leads to intractable stances with no ability to discuss and find common ground.

If you work with people under 25 you may have experienced this. Too often I've found they try to find insult in any interaction, are quick to judge and unable to compromise. This is the downside I've seen lately and I've had to manage it in real terms. It is an observation from my life whether it can be applied more broadly or not.

Generational observations aside, it is the times we're in that affects all age groups. Reductionist and absolutist rhetoric rules the day and the person who doesn't seek out knowledge will get swept away by simplistic rationales in the political realms in particular. This is true of people of all ages and political orientations these days.

It always was this way to some extent by dint of human nature, but the information deluge means those who seek knowledge and avail themselves of this are doing it amidst a sea of purposeful disinformation, lazy thinking and bad intentions. Information overload is something few humans manage well any longer.

Even well-intended people can be made dumb and callous by the world today if they don't learn to think for themselves. Being well-intentioned is simply not enough any longer whatever generation you belong to. I wish the next generations all the luck in the world, because the ones that preceded them did not care so much about the world they leave behind.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about the first part because in my experience these kids learn really quick and have a lot of technical skills we had to learn in college or the real world. While being much more critical than we were...but I started HS not long after 9/11, so maybe we were just abnormally gullible because of how scared everyone was.

Agreed about the rest of your point. They're actually better, we've just put them in a worse environment...and you an see that in the way it's affecting other generations too. They're probably handling it best, because they're growing up in it.

The part you disagreed with though may also have to do with whom you're exposed to. You may have had the good fortune to interact with a more thoughtful community of people overall. Here in Florida, my exposure to the workforce of average high school graduates has not been so complimentary.

Based on proximity, your results may vary.
