You are assuming that my experience is limited to youth crisis.

I have 11 years of experience working in addiction,... My response to your cynicism is this... You can only truly understand the scope of the greater issues on all levels ... And with all generations, once you've worked in the field. And it helps to have lived experience.

Edit: oh yeah I know, I'll up vote the uninformed opinion, and I'll downvote the person who works in the field and is an educated and trained and expert /s

And yet it didn't make you funny, weird 🤷

I don't want to have an automatic yeah no yeah no back and forth with you but... I suspect I'm much older than you and I can attest here that most people, even in professional roles, were hammered all day. They were as "functional" as this current generation is on ridiculous amounts of weed, psychedelics, and uppers... That is to say, not as functional as they could be. There's no "what's worse" contest here; the choice of drug doesn't change the underlying issue. I'm a recovered addict and I work in the field of addiction so I'm speaking from the heart.

Truth.

And that's why it's really not a contest, and we must forgive our parents' generation and a few going back from there.

The piper is coming. No I'm not defending alcohol, but the level of drug addiction among our young people is shocking. The amount of digital addiction is shocking. I work in youth crisis so I am not talking on my ass, most young people are addicts now. So it's all fun to talk down about boomers who drank but holy fuck is this generation ever screwed.

Is that you being fair or is that you rushing to defend something?

As if you don't know these "tools" don't work.

I use google "ai" in when thrifting for audio gear. Minimum 80% of the time it gets something GLARINGLY wrong. "Oh ho ho! You correctly pointed out that I was completely wrong on all counts! An astute observation! Let me try again but this time give you the CORRECT information."

In terms of frequency, women are significantly worse than men; men more damage per physical act of violence.

In terms of emotional and psychological violence, women are so far ahead of the race they disappeared over the horizon.
