I'm never sure with things like this if I want them to be real or if I want them to be fake. If it's real, it's loving horrible that people like that existed and had children. If it's fake, what the gently caress is wrong with someone that they'd make something like that up for attention as (presumably) an adult?
i'd imagine most of the stories are real right up until the point where the storyteller totally burns someone, i've met all sorts of people who only turn out to be wackadoos if you spend a lot of time with 'em

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

Except the previous generations didn't have the internet. There are measurable increases in all sorts of mental issues in modern times, most relating to people's ability to shut up and be productive for a time period, my only suggestion is that the internet is partly responsible for this. It's not a "kids these days" argument it's about the environment that they're raised in.

god let this be true, let me be competitive at my job for longer than I have the right to

It's a different kind of messed up. You've got a generation of young people who've grown up with the idea that everyone is special and feels are more important than anything else and technology allows them to avoid being confronted by anything even slightly at odds with their own world view. You don't learn coping skills and distress tolerance by being cocooned from discomfort.

I'm the article about childhood cognitive development that only sources hand-wringing moral panic opinion pieces

A dumb racist who need to kill themselves

Is this written by a 14 y.o. boy? Is there a language where tampons are called diapers? I don't think this is real.

It could also be written by a micro-aggression sensitive SJW who exaggerated maxi pads to be Adult Diapers because she's sick of feeling ashamed of her periods!
