History

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

My daughter is born in 2019. I think to myself im so sorry when I look at her.

Give her knowledge, patience, and love. We don't know the mettle of the new generations yet. Have heart. The world wants to correct itself; we just haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Agree. We do need good people raising good people, to pass on the torch of compassion and all other good.

I'm not saying jump up and have kids, I'm saying there's a sacred duty available and inherently demanded, in teaching the next generation.

And as we see, we can no longer rely on hardly any facet of our society to do an even passable job, even from those who want to. In the US at least it is down to parents to shape the next generation. (As YouTube, etc., do it for us...)

Yet more precariously, this is true during a phase of human history that I'd argue is newly atomized, yet increasingly dependent on cooperation.

The future looks bleak, yes, and parenting well is one crucial part of any long-term solution to our problems. I say let's be careful with the dooming, there's good work to be done.

(...sadly too much work to do, in the literal sense, for me and most parents, but nonetheless)

Yeah, we're definitely in the nascency of a new age that promises to be harrowing. It sounds like you're doing it right. We're intrinsically a social species, and collectivism suits us better than this ugly, "I've got mine" mindset I've seen recently. I know there's a lot more to it than that, but thanks for being a conscientious force in the universe.

With any luck, collectivism will come to flourish, even if we have to get there by being backed into it.

Cheers!

Thank you. I love her with all my heart and I will do my very best.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I don't doubt that you will. Don't lose your patience to fear. You are a kindness to the world, and I respect you super hard.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

And my son. I know how you feel.
