Kids these days (Yes, I said that unironically) can't be assed to deal with any amount of discomfort. They've had a childhood of screens put in front of them so they don't have to deal with boredom and other shit that just ruins a person's ability to operate in society.
Grow the fuck up and deal with it.
EDIT: So apparently people are reading this like I'm talking about the crying babies. I'm talking about the ridiculous, pseudo-child-free adults who can't believe a baby might have trouble while flying and god forbid they should hear it cry.
FYI the younger ones are screaming because of pain from the inner ear air pressure changes that they don't know how to prevent.
JFC are people really understanding my take as blaming the fucking babies? The whole "kids these days" was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the adults in the plane complaining about the babies.
nah, lad, people are most likely understanding exactly what ya meant and they're downvoting because of that. also the 'pseudo-childfree' mention might also be bothersome to some, what with it suggesting said lifestyle might be just a phase and thus claiming to have the absolute truth and such things. pretty sure parents would downvote a childfree person for suggesting a pseudo-parent notion.
but I'm 2 ales and a barleywine in already, so YMMV
this thread is entertaining though, for what it's worth. I just want to see the fuckcarspeople get involved here as well, 'cause it's getting kind of repetitive
why isn't there a fuckplanes community, I wonder? I mean they still use leaded fuel and are probably making us all stupider and more violent and stuff
Maybe go start c/fuck_everything?
That was not my intention. I don't consider it a phase and I don't think everyone needs to be a parent. I just got a very c\fuck_kids vibe from the whole thing. I'm sure I could have said it better, but.... eh.
Literally yes. I'm sure the process might be different for each person, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that people learn to deal with the world around them instead of expecting the world to bend to their complaints at every discomfort. It won't.
I am putting it on the adults complaining about crying kids on planes or whatever other little thing that gets under their skin.
Not long ago I heard someone on the radio get very angry over kids playing ball hockey on their own street and in the same breath will complain that kids don't go outside enough so yes I 100% agree with you people expect the world to bend for them when it's inconvenient for them they are less of an adult then these kids crying on a plane smh
