What do you all make of mogging? Is it good that our kids are starting to care about how they present themselves, or should they be spending more of their time getting ready to work as a corporate drone instead of on internet fads?

What the shit is that false dichotomy, Nigel? 🤦🏻♂️ Should they be spending more time getting ready to work as a corporate drone instead of on internet fads? Are those the options, Nigel? Are those all the options?

As an older person I feel sadness that young people cannot see how beautiful and interesting they are in all their individuality (we have to communicate this to them) and I also feel anger that our current culture is doing them damage.

As long as pretty privilege exists some variant of this will exist.

I think it throws shade on the pretense that younger generations are less superficial and more intentional and thoughtful.

Anyone that believes that in the first place is suspect.

Regardless, lots of people express that idea strongly and I assume they're sincere.
