How the fuck does a screenshot get to be so low quality?
Maybe this new one is actually a computer virus?
Well, Twitter is both a computer virus and a human virus, fucks us all good and proper even when we don’t use it.

I dont wear masks anymore I just take one swig of whisky before I get on the metro and one swig when I get off. I think the alcohol is still working as I haven’t got sick since doing that.

The last pandemic made 50 percent of kids autistic and 50 percent of adults talk continuously about their mental health. Britain couldnt handle another pandemic.

One of my jobs involves interviewing people and the number of young people who describe themselves as introverts is incredible. It never used to be like that.

I have been working in a few schools recently and I am kind of shocked.
Safe spaces, movement breaks, behaviour teams, interventions.
An 8 year old asked my name on Friday. Second question to me was…
Are you autistic?
No, why?
I am and then she went to list out all the classmates who are too. Then i got this list of who is adhd. One guy told me he is adhd, autistic and bipolar. I asked how he knows so much. My mum has a masters in child psychology and she thinks my sister is autistic too.
A kid had to stay at school because he was fighting. Mom stormed in shouting at everyone because they cant punish him. He has ADD.
I told a kid to be quiet while his teacher is talking. He told me i am not allowed to say that to him. He then shouted SHUT UP in his teacher’s face.

Yeah that would test my tolerance to the limit. I think they may get some of it from their parents and the school’s being too terrified to lose a student. They should get the parents sign a contract as to what behaviour is not allowed at school.

If it’s a state school I’d be surprised if they are terrified about losing a student.

These two meme’s should be funny, but sometimes fun meme’s are too close to reality so the joke becomes….
Edit: Oops, this was new pandemic thread so probably totally wrong thread used, as personally I think this has been going on for 10+ years so can’t really blame Covid…

These behaviors have been prevalent since before COVID though. Just slightly, but enough that people are confusing a societal shift that was already happening with one triggered by the pandemic.
I started a new teaching job in the fall of 2020 and the kids at that school (elementary) had clearly never had anyone ever say the word “no” to them at any point in their life. Parents broke down and sobbed hysterically when their precious babies got in trouble for things that should have involved the police. They sobbed not because they were sorry for raising such monsters but because they felt that everyone was bullying their child. Permissive parenting has been trendy for about a decade now but obviously the pandemic didn’t help.

Knowing this and witnessing similar stuff make me feel confident that my kids will have a huge leg up on their peers when they are adults, because they are not like that.

Unless everyone being weird makes that weirdness normal, then your kids become the weird ones for being normal.

Well, I did not jinx it but I was close. If this is it, with bird flu heating up in the US, well, I’ll give it till March.
