Same here, and pretty notably I keep getting more left wing instead of more conservative and the same’s been happening to my friends too, so even the idea that you automatically get more conservative as you age is pretty suspect.
Shit, right now in Finland the under 25’s are more conservative than Millennials, at least based on voting patterns
I’ve become much more flexible in my thinking and beliefs the older I’ve gotten, and statistically young people are much more likely to have extreme positions on things.
If anything, you’re probably going to have a worse time convincing young people who think they know everything, than older people who understand that they don’t.
Joke’s on you, I’m unemployed
Yessss let’s go back to the good old days where you didn’t dare get divorced if you were the “homemaker”, because who the hell’s going to hire a person who spent the last 15 years at home raising children? And it was awesome that when 1 parent was the one making money, they spent less time with their kids, so kids bonded more with just one parent!
Liiike, maybe start with work-life balance? Or, more importantly, have a think on how we do families nowadays? The “nuclear family” concept, which only really got going in the 40’s, is fundamentally broken and unsalvageable, but you’re just assuming that’s the way things should be and that the real problem is with both parents working.
Think about how children were historically raised in western countries, and still are in many many cultures around the world (and even in the west too for that matter.) “It takes a village” was pretty literal: it wasn’t just the parents looking after their own kids, but various grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends etc. were a part of it. The fact that kids mostly grow up without those kinds of “networks” has been a huge factor in how alienated people feel from society. Growing up in a hermetically sealed cube with much less watchful adult guidance or a feeling of community, yeah that’s going to cause problems.
We as a species dumped all out skill points into cooperation and being social, and we seem to have forgotten about that.
Ah, an Escherhund
Based on my nearly 30 years experience of using Linux (started with veeery early versions of Slackware) and interacting with Linux users on USENET, forums etc., I doubt it.
calling me dumb for dual booting at all
I keep saying this, but Linux users are probably the biggest obstacle standing in the way of Linux adoption.
That’s… reassuring.
This reminds me of that scene from Fight Club:
“Which bank do you work for?”
“A major one”
