How will the ever suffer the burden of once a week going outside for >30 minutes to mow the lawn? Respect for these people who bear such heavy burdens.
I feel the same way about chores. I mean if I lived on my own I'd be doing them for me, which would be nice, because I like having a clean and organized living space, but now I'm doing them for my sisters and parents as well? Just because I recently turned eighteen, it's either that or pay rent? I didn't ask to be born, so why should I have to pay you back for my existence? It's an implied unilateral contact, which is illegal in any other context.
A functioning member of society is rewarded for being such with job opportunities, good will, friendships/networking, and similar intangible but very much extant benefits. You know what we call people who help with no rewards and receive none of those? Slaves.
The main point is that social credit is earned by doing volunteer work, whether it be chores to earn credit from your family or helping out in a soup kitchen to earn credit from a church or whatever. Said credit can be cashed in for metaphorical tendies. Is that wrong?
"The grass just exists to be cut" I don't know why but this made me really think.
Wait until the school year starts and his teacher makes him read Camus. That kid is going to start smoking cigarettes and banging the theater department.
The common notion that it is to show off to your neighbors is not primary. It's actually a courtesy to your neighbors. It's a collectivist effort to improve the appeal of your neighborhood.
We dont have the social cohesion we used to so its lost on the new generation.
The question is correct. I don't understand why Americans boomers are so obsessed with their anonymous lawn in their anonymous house built into an anonymous back street in Suburbia.
Just buy some chickens, plant a garden and grow your own food to provide for your family
I understand wanting some nature, but most lawns are sterile, non-native resource sinks. If you want some nature by your patio, plant local pollinators.
I said in the recent post about r/Boston complaining about Trump that sometimes I’m ashamed of my city, sometimes I’m also ashamed of my generation. I mow the lawn whenever my dad asks. It’s not that hard lol.
"I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self; an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."
"Ok, just be careful of rocks. Don't wanna have to replace the mower blade again."
I’ve been browsing that sub for like 20 minutes and holy crap they are a sad bunch. All of the top posts are about how hard life is, and there are also a surprising amount of pro - suicide posts as well. It’s pretty obvious they all have really horrible relationships with their parents. Makes me feel lucky that my parents love me so much.

Having to mow the lawn and losing the access to Tiktok, we can already consider zoomers a lost generation.

lawnmowing is fucking retarded though. nice wildflowers and grass looks way better than gayfrogs-herbicide-maintained-nonnative grass

This is why we need more abortions
8 ItsAllOurFault 2020-08-22
Late-term abortions. Like, 20 years after birth. They're just clumps of cells anyway.
11 cfbWORKING 2020-08-22
They still require their mothers to exist. They are still a parasite to the host.
6 CertifiedSheep 2020-08-22
My man can't handle the idea of doing chores to help other people, but you know damn well he supports politicians who want to raise taxes.
7 Peytons_5head 2020-08-22
And loves socialism
1 tux_pirata 2020-08-22
fun fact: in most socialist countries its a crime to not work and you go to jail if you refuse to get a job

The most worrying thing about the whole post is that at 18 years old he is still not able to see the value in helping someone for no reward
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2020-08-22
I mean, helping with no reward is cuckery. He's very much getting benefits from doing chores.
3 qawsed_ 2020-08-22
Helping with no reward isn’t cuckery it’s just being a decent person and a functioning member of society.
2 bumford11 2020-08-22
No thanks

Yes, but don't distract from the main point

Too many words so yes

Also nobody with a messy house when they live with others becomes less messy when they live on their own.
Typical "when I'm an adult" BS said by a 20 year old lol

Had this thought on lsd the other week.
The common notion that it is to show off to your neighbors is not primary. It's actually a courtesy to your neighbors. It's a collectivist effort to improve the appeal of your neighborhood.

12 sbrough10 2020-08-22
Also, tall grass is really annoying for the male carrier to walk through, so it's a courtesy to them as well.
And, no, I did not misspell "mail". The stupid PC term "mail carrier" doesn't have enough man in it, so I made my own version. Take that, SJWs.
1 stupid_prole 2020-08-22
Why would a mail carrier be walking through the grass
3 MountainDewCodeBlue 2020-08-22
That makes sense, it's gone from "here's a courtesy everyone can appreciate" to "fuck them for judging me for this"
The latter is partially valid (nobody likes a nosey neighbour) but definitely won't make you any friends.
2 soullesssexisgone 2020-08-22
mowed lawns look like shit though compared to nice land with wildflowers
3 Lord_Sticky 2020-08-22
It’s funny how the zoomers who most support socialism and communism are also the least willing to put in any effort to benefit others
1 dramateer 2020-08-22
Zoomers never return the shipping cart.
1 tux_pirata 2020-08-22
they would get fucked under actual communism where its all about serving the collective and you have to do what the state needs not what you want
"liberal arts? enough of those, we need more hands at the shoe factory, off you go"
the only ones that got special treatment besides the party nobility were the ones who could actually get shit done like engineers and scientists

They should all march into oblivion. I can't imagine having so little self-respect or drive to do anything

What? Just because I survive off the productivity of others, you want me to be productive as well? What is this? Civilization?

They're a huge waste in arid temperatures.
Moss lawns are the future
1 soullesssexisgone 2020-08-22
the future is not mowing and buying a chicken or neighborhood goat

If your son doesn't enjoy mowing the lawn, you've failed as a father.
