Parenting

I mean, when I was a kid my dad wanted me to go outside and forced the issue at times but there was genuinely nothing the fuck out there. I feel that in order for this to work there has to be something out there besides just suburban American hellscape.

- I think of this meme often. My wife and I recently bought a house in a quiet cul-de-sac of a safe older neighborhood. My daughter went from spending most of her time indoors (because there was fuck all for her to do or go, and surrounding streets were busy) to spending probably 75% of her time outside, whether playing with friends or flipping rocks in my garden to look for bugs. It's wild how much a child's interests change when their environment actually provides them the green spaces they need.
  I hate that in most places (at least here in North America) parks, trails, and other green spaces are just an afterthought, when we should be planning our neighborhoods around them. But hey, you can't squeeze another cheap manufactured home in between these two other densely packed manufactured homes if there are empty spots for trees and nature.
  I am pleased with the city I live in for leaving so much of our forest and river valleys intact. We have an elaborate trail system weaving throughout the entirety of our city, all interconnected, and any time additional roads to ease congestion are proposed, people vote them down in favor of protecting the bands of forest and dealing with traffic. Only the worst people I've known are voting yes to bulldozing chunks of it for the sake of an easier commute.
- Ah yes, the stroad. One of America's greatest contributions to the world...
- I can hear this picture it's deafening without actually sounding like anything.
  
  What's the opposite of white noise? Because it's that. That's what I hear.
- Thankfully not all of the usa is like that. My city especially, we have walkable area and a decent(not strong) amount of green
  
  Thankfully not everyone lives in USoA.

Yes, go outside, but don’t do anything that might hurt you, just sit there until the sunscreen sweats off.

Oooo we need more Silo memes!
Edit: Don't let your dreams be dreams.
- Rashida? In a heartbeat!

What series is that from?
- Silo.
  it's good.
  
  It's good, but there was one glaring plothole that, once I noticed, ruined my love for the show
  
  That being said, I haven't watched season 2, so maybe it's explained there
  
  Script-wise it is struggling in some places, as many sci-fi shows making stuff happen is more expensive than just having people talk. But the performances are great.
- Every meme has to be from the 80s because nobody is ever going to watch the same thing enough to recognize loose frames ever again.
  
  What are you talking about?

That's a tough one. I'm thrilled to see how future me will get this sorted out.
