Video killed the radio star. Internet kills television. Internet creates the podcast. The internet killed video and brought the radio star back to life.
and instead of admiring them the ghosts of my protestant ancestors possess me and I think shit like ‘well that’s just a little too much’
my ancestor Pain Wilhelmina Smith wacks a stick around my brain like ‘you like that Catholic shit? you gonna pay indulgences for that, huh? punk? get yee to a single room log cabin and PRAY’
anyway, my room is absolutely bare and buying a piece of clothing for over 20 dollars pains me
actually, I’m sorry to admit this, but I actually mis-remembered the name of the ancestor I was thinking of
her name was Fear
if you’re wondering, my puritan forebears actually had 5 children
please note Wrestling, Fear, and Love Brewster. And Jonathon.
Can you imagine the sheer confusion and fear American villains must’ve undergone when All Might was in America? Like, just think of how it would feel to have a very large Japanese man yelling the names of your country’s states at you right before he hits you with enough force to level a city. And United States of Smash is the ultimate power move, just yell the name of the country you’re in at your opponent until they cry. Every villain he faced in America was probably just doing this
Japan’s complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.
Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.
A 80+ hour work week in order to maintain financial stability isn’t exactly a solid ground to date people and eventually build a family from a healthy relationship.
A workforce comprised of 20 somethings that make between 20-40k a year in entry positions isn’t a good ground to build a reliable consumer base when a huge chunk of that is going to rent, utilities, car payments, and student loans.
This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this
I am convinced that, in general, people want to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to - you know - actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that.
If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?
If anything Millennials are out there trying to prove that we’re better potential parents than our parents were, because we’re practicing safe sex, using contraception and abortion to make sure we’re not bringing a child into a life that’s a financial mess where we’re working too many hours to even raise the kid. Prior generations complain that we were raised by TV and video games, and that may be true, but the thing is, we know that the reason we had to be raised by TV and video games is that their workaholic butts were never home to do it themselves, and we’re not going to do that to the next kids. And that may mean not having kids until conditions are right.
