I went to an independent garden center today-- support local, feed my thirst, get out of my head. Brought mom and dad - 78 and 82 respectively... didn't wear masks as we were outside, wind blowing, waiting in line.. KAREN alert.... yelling at us, calling us Losers...I stood my ground, we're outside, rule doesn't state outside...blah fucking blah... we got to front of line and KAREN reprimanded the employee for not enforcing us... so we put on masks, went inside, took them off and 78 YO mom coughed on the bitch. GOLD.

There have been several generations of mediocrity that have lead to weak willed mediocre acceptance as the norm. Most cant think beyond the next ten minutes and crave social media likes, Males have been emasculated and told its toxic to be a male, and females suffer from the muh "i can have it all" crap. Then add to that me,me, me ideals, it will of course end in tears.

Too blame one generation is illogical, it has happened over several generations. People are risk averse due to a gradual process over a period of time, The same applies to the critical thinking process. Many argue the process has been happening for at least 100 years.
