It was during school and a pediatrician would never recommend something like this now lol. Plenty if medical professionals were against it at the time too. The vaccine was out by the time I was a teen. We could have waited it out.

WAAAAAAHHHHHH they called someone out for literally encouraging rape and being a huge sexist pig sO mUcH FoR tOLerAnCe

Being a sexist piece of shit isn’t a protected a class and has nothing to do with tolerance.

That didn’t make it ok to have kids hang out with a sick kid so they’d also get sick 😐

I’m a victim of “chickenpox parties” from the 80s. Some parents are just stupid assholes that refuse to accept you don’t have to make the immune system a punching bag to make it stronger

Now I’m at a higher risk for severe shingles. Yay!! Thanks mom!

1. This is a privilege a lot of city kids don’t have
2. No to fires lmao wtf
3. They only did that stuff because there was literally nothing else to do. Not because it was more fun.

Under the bridge is where the junkies hang out and you’re a shit patent if you want your kids messing around construction sites lmao

Ew you talk with your mouth full

So then parents should just not get their kid a smartphone and stop trying to police everyone else’s kids. It really is that simple

I grew up in the 90s and my entire childhood neighborhood is concrete now. The overgrown wash where we built forts is gone. The desert surrounding the area? Gone. It’s just roads, shitty apartment buildings, and cement for miles. Maybe it didn’t change for you but my kids could never grow up the same way that I did there. Most of the more wild areas are gone. Banished to the outskirts of town now. Hell, we don’t even really have sidewalks and hardly anything is walkable due to traffic. It has everything to do with cars in plenty of places. There is literally nowhere for kids to be kids within walking distance of me now either.

I can think someone is being a dumbass without having any kind of hateful feelings towards them. Hell, I love a few morons

It’s like when someone leaves a real asshole comment and then goes “I’m being brigaded!!!” lol. Naw lil buddy. You’re not that important people just saw your comment and thought you were being a jerk

I would guess that most of them consider themselves homeless. Especially if they’re living in those makeshift tent cities. Either way, they are homeless if they don’t have an address.

It’s not a lifestyle if it’s not by choice. Try finding a job without an address. The people that do it as a “lifestyle” are usually just wealthy turds or social media dweebs larping as happy families on the road despite their kids being obviously miserable

This should be the first thing everyone tries tbh. Many town halls are online these days it’s so easy to do

Oh my god then shut up and go look it up. Good lord. “I won’t believe this, despite multiple people confirming it, until whatever will make me believe it is spoon fed to me directly”.

Oh, I mean this one. Trying to play dumb lmao.

It’s still cached in my app for whatever reason so I took a quick screenshot.

Look at your angry little downvote too hahaha

Orrr just responsible people that quarantine before hanging out, get vaccinated, wear masks, and social distance. Option number 2 is online friends. I’ve got a few that got nailed by covid but we d&d/game primarily online so I was still safe lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have vulnerable people in my life so nobody sees me in person unless they’re damn sure they’re clean and so far none of them have let me down

There were after school programs when I was a kid too and I wasn’t in a small town. Just depends on where you are I guess. We’d start in the cafeteria with a small snack and then go to the playground for a while before hanging out in the gym goofing off and watching movies until we got picked up

My favorite part was where you accused me of deleting my comment (that’s still there) and then deleted that comment. Too bad I saw it before you did 🤭

You’re definitely not like a poor person if you’ve got $3,500 lol
