There’s actually some reasoning behind this in a convoluted way, as younger generations tend to say things like “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” because they see helping someone as something that is required of them to do, as opposed to older generations who more often see help as a gift you are giving to someone.

That kind of makes me wonder about how American society has changed over the years. I'm assuming you're in the US. In some cultures in the world it's accepted and expected for an elder to treat a younger person as significantly lower or less than them. But those cultures tend to hold conservative values like US society did before like the 1970s. Boomers in the states were likely raised being disrespected and grew up with the expectation that it would be acceptable for them to do the same thing to the youngsters when they got older.

The joke of the show was how *out of touch Archie was* and also breezily featured a multi episode arc about Archie and Edith making friends with a drag performer (Beverly LaSalle!) and then having to grapple with learning their queen friend was murdered in a random act of violence. Also the show featured the *first two explicitly gay* characters on US TV...in a totally different episode. Twin Peaks, beloved committed weirdo TV featured a Transfeminine character whose boss at the FBI cut her coworker off at the knees with the simple dictum of "change your hearts or die" regarding Denise's identity. So...what about that Boomers?

As someone with autism who was repeatedly called "A brat" as a kid, And was spanked by my grandfather without my parents knowledge, I can say that no, beating me does not "cure" my autism

I’m autistic as well and this hits too close to home. My grandparents place was the worst because they thought I was being a brat, and so they’d punish me. But then I’d freak out and have a meltdown because it was overwhelming, thus more punishment, an endless cycle. Wasn’t fun, the worst is they STILL think I’m a brat.

i wish more people understood that discipline =/= abuse. to be clear, spanking kids and sending them to bed without supper is awful regardless of what they've done, and yelling at them never helps. but it feels like a lot of parents my age heard that and their brains translated it as "okay! no punishment, ever" having empathy for your child is important, and you have to remember they're all still learning how to be a human--that's why you have to show them how. letting your children do whatever they want with no repercussions is only going to hurt them, and others, in the long run.

Figure out what abuse is before you open your mouth. Don’t beat people.

"I survived lead paint, and all it cost me was my empathy!"

"A little switch whipping is NOT ABUSE!!!11!!" That's literally beating a kid with a stick. A flexible stick which somehow hurts MORE than than a normal stick. But sure okay, that's not abuse. Keep telling yourself that, Harold.

No way, whenever you get thirsty you hop into someone's yard and turn on the hose and drink from there, hoping no one's home or that they can't hear the water being turned on and run out to see you drinking from their hose like a goblin bc then beat you with a switch and you can't do anything bc it's not polite and also what happens in the house stays in the house. that's how we did it in the good olden days, still got me a lump in my back from when I got thirsty and the hose owner was particularly mean old fellow.
