@SydSteyerhart So she wants to hide out in a bunker and read books written by people dumber than her? Makes zero sense.

The sharpest (and funniest) commentary in THE BOYS is that they gave the mantle of "smartest person alive" to a DEI hire black woman who displays no intelligence, nor is ever shown to possess any original ideas whatsoever.

If Sister Sage is supposedly the smartest person alive, why hasn’t she just recreated the original V1 Compound and taken it herself? Makes you wonder… is she really that smart, or is it all hype?

@memeticsisyphus I think perpetual adolescence is a a symptom of safety culture. We’ve insulated young people from consequences to well. Consequences are what forces you to grow up. Got your 21 year old girlfriend pregnant in 1928? Congrats dad, move out, marry, and grow up

I think this piece is getting at something extremely important in our culture: m any people are failing to grow up. Childless adults obsession with children’s media is one of the least harmful manifestations, but it’s like a dye contrast highlighting a more serious problem. There’s very little encouragement in our culture to grow up. To take on responsibility, to start a family, to move out, to take up that next stage in life. The result is mass arrested development and a generation missing out on the most meaningful relationships life has to offer.
The New Yorker@NewYorker

For the most devoted fans, Disney has engineered an ecosystem of financial entanglement that goes far deeper than park tickets or merchandise, which keeps the magic—and the debt—perpetually compounding. In 2023, Ashley, a freshman at Quinnipiac University, in Connecticut, had $15,000 in her bank account. Excited by her newfound freedom as a college student, she decided to start going on solo trips. Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, seemed like an obvious choice. She went during her winter break. Then she returned, six times, in two years. Soon enough, her account balance had dwindled to just five dollars. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many adults who have accumulated Disney debt seem to be chasing a feeling from their childhoods. One woman, who has been to Disney World more than a hundred times, said that visiting the parks takes her back to a time when she had fewer worries: “It’s the nostalgic feeling of what brought you joy when you were little and you didn’t have the stressors of adult life.” Read more about the Disney adults putting themselves in debt for the pursuit of magic: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_JqtFg

@damnineedhandle @cdolan92 I also do theatre and travel. Pretty sad you have nothing better to do than insult people with a different hobby to you. That is weird.

@SkyeRoberts_ @cdolan92 I'm not insulting you, just trying to understand. Maybe I am missing something. Surely you understand that adult demand for Disney did not exist for decades, but now it is putting massive pressure on pricing for families who want to visit these parks for their children?

@cdolan92 A family with a double stroller is taking up more space than 2 Disney adults. Everyone is entitled to be there if they pay. If you don't like crowds it probably isn't the right vacation for your family.

My wife and I just returned from Disney with 3 and 4 yr old kids. They loved it. But the interactions with “Disney adults” left us with the feeling that we’d pay even more money (I know it’s already crazy pricey) for days at Disney reserved for families with kids under 12.
Michael J. Miraflor@michaelmiraflor

Among my hottest takes are: - Disney adults (esp with no kids) are ruining it for families by inflating the cost of everything. - Disney adults should seek therapy to deal with childhood issues, not more trips to Disneyland. - Disney should not cater to Disney adults. It’s for families. It’s for the kids.

@CatholicAwesome It can be a sin. If its done just for sexual gratification and not as an act of love or procreation its actually a sin

@shagbark_hick I was homeschooled. Turned out fine. Most of my friends too. But we all knew many homeschooled families were the kids were neglected and could barely read. The guard rails are easily bypassed. Worst part is the parents knew what they were doing and didn’t give a shit

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

Do Homeschool kids just like, not have to take tests or exams or get grades? How does the government know if the child is actually getting an education and not just like, being neglected

@ashleysbored It is smaller possibility than SIDS which happens more often when baby is away from his mam and cant hear her heartbeat.

crushing babies during cosleeping is a problem so old we have a story in the Bible about it. Don't tell people there's no risk; you're lying

@olgakhazan Its definitely not as dangerous as they say, and I wont judge people who do it, but it ads another point where something can happen to the baby. My wife and I were happy to stand up and grab our babies out of the basinet to eliminate that risk

@kimberlydisney @ThinkyCrow @nap_ygg @StatisticUrban Tell me what state you think allows businesses to ask more than the two questions or demand documentation, and I will show you per their laws that’s not what it says. With the way you’re insulting me and not providing sources I think you know you’re wrong

@damnineedhandle @ThinkyCrow @nap_ygg @StatisticUrban States' Rights ENHANCE the ADA which they are entitled to do and have done for decades. Recently they added in the "fake" service dog laws. If you are too dumb to understand this - not my issue. I am done trying to educate you. Bye.

We may eventually see a small cultural backlash against dogs. Nothing crazy, everyone still loves them. But there might be stricter norms: leash your dog, pick up poop, stop bringing them into grocery stores. The Millennials and Zillennials have pushed things too far.

@damnineedhandle @ThinkyCrow @nap_ygg @StatisticUrban 🤣"federal supremacy" in this case only applies if state/local laws provide fewer rights/protections for people with disabilities. In the case of Service Dogs - current state/local laws are enhancing those rights/protections for their disabled/non-disabled citizens.

@kimberlydisney @ThinkyCrow @nap_ygg @StatisticUrban Yes that is the federal law that allows that. States can’t change that. They cannot ask more than the two questions prior to the dog being disruptive. You keep bringing up unrelated things to my statement and acting like I’m stupid. You are the stupid person here
