Minors yearn for the mines.
Minor miners!
I hardly knew em!
Knew him?! He was delicious!
They’re gonna have some access to nature by picking the fruit that are left on the branch.
Close!
It'll mostly be farms.
Gotta replace all the deported migrants with somebody, being homeless is a crime, forced labor is a common use of incarcerated criminals in the US.
People are already suggesting this unironically.
I'm so ready for a graffiti revival
And gang revival
I was browsing around wplace earlier today and thinking that that it's basically a modern, digitized version of graffiti, and thinking how cool it would be if those kids were all out making reality that beautiful.
I assume whoever wrote this is American?
In my country tons of investment goes into spaces for kids to exist in every age group. From playgrounds to youth centres, after school clubs, camps, sports programs. Like i had to help my nephew when he had a breakdown because he couldnt go to all the events he wanted to because theres physically not enough time so some overlap. And most of that stuff is free and a lot of the stuff that isnt has options for low income households and things like the youth centres are specifically target at low income and minority areas.
And also i dont mean to sound like a boomer, but kids can just like play outside, or with toys in their rooms??
They could well be Bri'ish, and this is in reference to the recent age verification laws passed there.
What country? I really want to look into what these programs are.
Why's there always someone who feels the need to express that the post is not relevant to them? Cool, move along then.
No man, these are great goals for the US. I want to hear about how other countries are doing it well.
yeah how fucking dare someone bring their alternate worldview into this discussion, dont they know the internet is america
Tbf the physical places retreated in favor of online spaces. Online is easy, a couple text messages and you’ve got your friends on a server and voice chat. No need to even leave the house. I’ve seen it with my own kids. If the online spaces get cut off we’ll have to go back to physical spaces and they’ll be recreated. Y’know, outside? The kids will be ok if they’re allowed to be kids.
Except police arresting parents for child endangerment over letting their kids outside.
There's also the chemical space.
