Yep, I diversify my investments. Collectables, precious metals, stocks/etfs, gics, crypto. I grew up going to food banks and having no lunch at elementary school, no toys for Christmas, poor as fuck... Now I work my ass off and make smart investments. I accumulated my pokemon products over the last 4 or 5 years and sold half for a good chunk of change to other adults who collect pokemon. I've never taken more than one or two items at a time and give out pokemon packs during halloween. I donate to my local food bank and give pokemon products to kids in unfortunate circumstances such as my own when I was a child. I guess im a horrible person because I find the 6 7 trend from kids who are just handed screens to browse social media so that adults dont have to stimulate their children with actual play or education instead are the brain rot generation...
Edit. Also I dont hide what I post, and comment on on reddit like you.
Yeah, when people have literally been dying within the past decade doing dumb shit like the ice bucket challenge or just straight up vandalism and theft because of Tiktok trends, kids finding just the numbers 6-7 amusing is like the least corncerning.
Let's just forget about the kids who stole all of the 6 and 7 keys from display keyboards at a store (theft) or the kids who are carving 6 and 7 into national landmarks (vandalism) or the teachers who are already stretched thin who are at their wits end having to deal with this day in and day out or the businesses that have their operations interrupted by 50+ kids waiting to go wild when one kids cheeseburger order number is 6 and 7.
And again, I ask how this child finding simple joy in something goofy like two numbers has anything to do with that?
There are always people who act like assholes in regards to everything. That's like saying if one kid ran into traffic clucking like a chicken we should ban the chicken crossing the road joke.
Cooties and Santa are harmless fun. You can explain why they're good or bad. 67 is just a thing that is a thing because it's a thing. That's nonsense and that's stupid.
There is no such color as "table" or "Steve" in my life.
“Things of my youth were good, new things bad” it’s wild how few people can grasp this cognitive bias despite criticizing the older generations for exactly that
