    You mean their brains have been wired from an early age to be addicted to short-form content and never tolerate moments with nothing happening because they were given unfettered access to the internet and the psychological manipulation from big corporations that comes with it?

    They're just supposed to grow up and deal with that? How?

      Literally yes. I'm sure the process might be different for each person, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that people learn to deal with the world around them instead of expecting the world to bend to their complaints at every discomfort. It won't.

        Mental disorders relating to attention have skyrocketed in recent years, most likely due to the influence of social media on young minds. This shit is causing actual brain damage to these poor children because they don't know any better and their parents won't limit their screen time. You can't put that all on the kid.

          I am putting it on the adults complaining about crying kids on planes or whatever other little thing that gets under their skin.

            Oh, well that changes the meaning of your comments entirely. Damn pronouns, always causing ambiguity everywhere!
