    1. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 4 Feb 2021

      1/ Feeling really terrible for the children right now. It must be so hard for them to stay home in a warm house, with three square meals a day, electric lights, video games, streaming media, video games, all of their friends available via webcam, and absolutely zero danger.

      2/ Truly, no other generation in history has ever had it this bad, and their trials and tribulations are 100% because adults are cruel and capricious - this has absolutely nothing to do with a global pandemic. Think of the children, everybody.

      3/ "terrible" it's an imposition sure I'm disgusted to see my generation, which should know better, emoting like 14 year old girls having their first breakup over this. Life is hard. "I don't get to go to the mall" ranks about 0.0001% on that scale. https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1357385661158948865 …

          This I agree with. People will be fine, they can adapt, there are ways to get through. I think this is a consequence of our language no longer admitting gradations of judgment, everything must be the worst tragedy or the greatest miracle.

          6/ I only wish that this generation of children could have had a normal upbringing during the Revolutary War, or the Civil War, or WWI or WWII, or the Great Depression, and not during this 12 months of lockdown which will harm them forever https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1357386217600524295 …

          7/ Indeed. I'm not arguing that it's fun for everyone. I'm just arguing that most generations have far bigger trials. Did you get drafted and sent to fight the Germans? Sent to Korea? Sent to Vietnam? Forced to leave school and age 12 and work? no? https://twitter.com/GeoGDF01/status/1357388075903705089 …

          8/ exactly as I said, my contempt is for the adults who are framing a somewhat-necessary inconvenience as "cruel and unnecessary abuse", instead of telling their kids "yes, sometimes life is hard"https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1357388952068620289 …

          My concern is that it's a ratcheting up of the extreme coddling that we've already been subjecting kids to. We're raising a generation of kids with no ability to tolerate adversity

          "Kids being forced to do the things I like doing is not that bad because I like doing them" is also a dumb take. Kids don't want to be in their house and away from other kids, we've forced them to do that for a year, and we'd recognize it as abusive in any other context.

          Yeah, the kids will be fine for the most part. I never trapped my kids in the house. They were allowed to roam the neighborhood, go fishing, etc. I drove them around when they were bored. (Our county has been opened since last summer thank goodness)
