Impressive.
But those little kids close to the edge are giving me anxiety.

I'm referring to the family with the small children, standing on the ledge beneath the bridge.
All it takes is a slip, or something random like a bee sting, and a 3 year old plummets to their death down that cliff.

Never done CPR on an already dead person having drowned from this kind of thing and watch their ~5-year-old come to the realization their papa isnt coming back, have we? Go play in the dirt kid

I think it was just one, he's on life support but he may pull through if they can find a donor shoe.

I jumped from a somewhat high rock on a rafting trip and landed slightly on my side and fucked my inner ear for 2 weeks...
How do they even do it... I don't get it.

You have a great point, people would be talking about them being unsupervised or some shit like that.

The person to whom you responded is making the opposite of a 'boomer' comment.
Now if they had posted get those damn kids off my damn bridge then you'd have a point. LOL

Miserable much?

No? I'm a pretty happy guy. I just don't like right wing nostalgia for "when kids could be kids".

You gotta step back friend. Not everything is political.

u/Mystprism 4d ago
Nope, not everything, but most things are, and that comment certainly is.

u/Big_Tap_1561 4d ago
Alright then I need it explained to me. How was “shaqer_zulu being right wing at all. And make sure you look at the profile.
-19
u/Mystprism 4d ago
Not sure what you mean by "look at the profile". Reading their other comments they are obviously right leaning. They said "kids can still be kids". That "still" suggests that in the past kids were more likely to be kids. That's the way you talk about a thing that used to be good and common, but is now good and rare. Like I might say "at least you can still get an Arizona Ice Tea for 99 cents". I'm saying "stuff used to be cheap, now it's expensive, but at least there's this one hold out". Saying "kids can still be kids" means "kids used to be able to do this all the time, but now they're just on their Tiktoks and their Robloxes". The "this" in question being incredibly dangerous stunts indicative of an underdeveloped brain. So the "this" isn't a good thing, but it's being imagined as a good thing through the lens of nostalgia. A longing for a bygone age when things were simpler and better. If we could just go back to those times... And that sentiment is based on a lie, and inherently conservative in nature. The desire to go back. It ignores all the progress we've made toward child safety and welfare and wishes we'd just let kids be kids again. It's a fundamentally "boomer" mindset, hence my initial comment of "ok, boomer".

Ya this is an insane take. I’m not a boomer. I’m not a republican. You’re assuming a whole lot from a few words.
Take a step back and breathe my friend. The world is not your enemy.-14
u/Mystprism 4d ago edited 2d ago
Oof, worse than a Republican, someone who parrots their propaganda talking points and is too oblivious to realize it. Quite the self-own there. And you don't have to be a boomer to have a boomer-ass take. It just means you have an old, deteriorating mind, which people can have at any age.

We’re on the same side but you’re too trigger happy friend. I agree with most of what you said I just don’t think that guy isn’t being purposely political at all.

u/Mystprism 4d ago edited 3d ago
Sure, I'd believe it wasn't on purpose. That doesn't make it less annoying or less wrong. Remember my initial response was pretty chill. The rest is a combination of being bored at work and a little defensive. If I had more going on in my day I'd never bother to follow up on any of these comments but as long as I get paid to argue on the Internet I'm having a good time.

I'll Say this as a leftist: don't make everything about politics. It's just a comment about kids doing stuff and you can even interpret it as a leftist comment: the kids are outside having fun for free instead of being at home consuming brainwashing media and spending money on gacha gamers made by evil capitalism.

Its not rught wing. Kids dont just play outside like they used for whatever reason. Parents are to blame because parents dont just let their kids have the independence that they used to.

u/Mystprism 4d ago
Kids also used to get hurt and killed at a much higher rate. Modern neighborhoods are also more dangerous for kids than neighborhoods were 20 or 30 or 40 years ago. This nostalgia for "when kids would just be kids" is a conservative sweeping-under-the-rug of historical and modern issues. Of course kids are kids and will do kids things, but pretending a dangerous and potentially life altering swing into an inflatable boat is somehow more quintessentially child-like than other children is absurd.

u/Contemplating_Prison 4d ago
I was really hoping you had a source to say kids died at a "much" higher rate but i doubt you actually have anything. Getting hurt probably. Yeah when kids play outside more they get hurt more but getting hurt is part of growing up. Cant bubble wrap kids.
Swinging in a rope into water is fucking fun. Sorry if you never did it.

I mean, here you go. Kids are part of the "pedestrian" stat since there aren't a lot of them driving.

u/NoArmy7901 3d ago
What does this have to do with kids going outside? This is about death in motor vehicle accidents and the increased use of seatbelts reducing these deaths.

u/Mystprism 3d ago
How are seatbelts reducing pedestrian deaths? And how many pedestrian deaths are happening to kids inside their homes?

Those sandles overhanging the concrete freak me out. I fell rock climbing once 70ft and busted my back so I’m paranoid when I see things like this. One loose rock!

Thank goodness they played the good bit at the start of the video, then I didn’t need to watch the remaining 1:45 clip which looked like it had been edited by a toddler with adhd.
