Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

WTF is a "sprankle"?

You're really describing a small but very vocal portion of people with kids. I don't think most parents are that concerned about it.

The people who you're describing only had kids because they grew up being taught that that's what they were supposed to do wether they actually wanted kids or not. This very specific group get upset that child free people are somehow going against the plan by not bending over backwards to accommodate everyone who did have kids.

They're also constantly angered further when they see child free adults having a fun relaxing time while they're stuck wrangling their own ill mannered progeny.

They certainly are very petty, angry, frustrated people but they definitely don't represent everyone who has kids lol

He looks like the hippy version of Jelly Roll lol

Yeah I don't see how this is news. He's repeatedly called soldiers "losers" and "suckers", he's ditched appearances where he was supposed to be honoring fallen soldiers, and that business recently at the Arlington cemetery just really hammered home the fact that he has no respect for them in any way whatsoever.

This seems more like the nephew wants to cash in on 15 minutes of fame by just agreeing with things we all already knew... but he is a Trump so I guess it's not that surprising lol

Remember when they made a scene inspired by this in Pans Labyrinth?

I assumed OP was asking about hobbies that can't be done the old way anymore because everything has been converted to a newer way that makes it easier but not as much fun anymore. Like in the example I posted earlier it's now impossible to buy a fully handmade high quality guitar anymore unless I want learn how to build it myself from scratch or pay thousands of dollars for a high end custom guitar because almost all affordable guitars are built on assembly lines now

When I was a kid me and my friends who lived on my street would always trade or borrow our NES and SNES cartridges

I used to go out to bars with my friends and play darts in college and it was always fun to just play and even make up your own rules sometimes! That makes me kind of sad that something as simple as throwing pointy sticks at a board had to be computerized... I could see the benefit if you were playing in a pro tournament or something, but just trying to enjoy a game of darts with your buddies definitely doesn't need all of that

It hasn't for me really because most of my hobbies are still done more or less the way they always have been lol I cross stitch and build models and the whole point of those is that they're handmade. I collect vinyl records which hasn't really changed much except that they're more expensive now. I play guitar which technology has mostly helped more than hinder... The only thing I can think of is that a lot of the modern assembly line cheap guitars aren't really built all that well anymore, especially considering the price you pay for them, but even that has gotten a lot better in the last decade

Player Piano is a really great book! It doesn't get as much love as his later stuff and i think it's because it was Vonneguts first novel and he hadn't really developed the writing style people associate with his other more famous novels. It's still a great read I enjoyed from beginning to end!

I think the boomer who wrote this needs to have a nap. They don't seem to even understand the difference between gen-X millennials and Gen z and is just spouting a bunch of "kids these days" nonsense.
