One more than the other... This whole ordeal has been way more damaging to kids than I think people want to admit. I honestly feel like the universe stole a year of their childhoods from them. It's fucked up. It will be interesting to see what happens as these kids grow up and how the age they were in 2020 effects their future... as in, I often wonder if a 2nd grader going through this will shrug it off better than a 5th grader and if the experiences of these kids varies depending on age and will effect them different as they age. Like, when two people talk about 2020 a decade from now, will their long-term neuroses vary based on the age they were when they locked down for a year? It's been a hot mess... but I somehow managed to lose 40 lbs. Figured there would never be an easier time to control all of the food I put in my body than right now, and hey, it was true.

Now, amid a spike in crime, calls to split from the capital have grown... Each metro area should be under a single, unified government. And non metro areas in each state should be governed by the state. Duplicate layers of government is just wasteful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured there would never be an easier time to control all of the food I put in my body than right now, and hey, it was true. I agree with you from just from what I hear from my sister with her kids. My youngest niece has temper tantrums and shows signs of depression because she can’t play with her friends. The older one has learning problems and needs more of that one on one teacher interaction because she obviously has some sort of ADHD. They are just tired of this and need to be kids and play. Thankfully we got warmer weather and they have a small 12x12 above ground 3.5 foot tall pool that they swim in twice a day to cheer them up. Mom read a story about a kid getting frustrated in quarantine and broke his computer monitor, dad bought him a new one to keep in touch with friends, but it wasn’t enough. The 12 year old was missing his friends so much that the father didn’t see the signs of depression in him and committed suicide the day after his dad bought the new monitor.

You'll never hear a negative word about a single democrat from him. I also hate how the whole 99% survivability thing keeps getting thrown around. 1% means 330,000 dead, assuming everyone is exposed at some point. The fact that they think that's just dandy makes my skin crawl. 1% would be 3.3 million. Otherwise, correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, this is really harming kids development. My wifes nephew is immunosuppressed, and will need a future transplant. This has been really hard for him. My son, who the nephew kind of idolizes, plays a lot of online games with him, and that makes him extremely excited. But otherwise, the year has been extremely hard on him.

thewhyteboar Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 By 2024 the moderate Republican position will be that Democrats serve the devil by eating babies at their fertility rites.

Can't even go to any stores except for food and medicine. No other services or stores allowed open, and the government provides relief. Australia is a good example. Our lockdowns in Canada, even the current one in Ontario, aren't nearly as restrictive. How is Ontario not that? (Other than the international borders, which Ontario can't control.)
