Respectfully, I disagree. I think that we're just so used to seeing it because we're on a Mongolian throat singing drama site.
I don't believe "we" can ascribe ourselves to be any kind of authorities on social/connected alike behavior (even as an autistic Kiwi). We can only point out what is
not normal. Though I'd argue offline interactions are being impacted, it's main driver is simple human condition rather than online behavior. It's perfectly natural to see one's life view from the perspective of self and to operate accordingly. Consistently doing so in a
healthy, not self-serving way is no small task for literally anyone. Thus,
TLDR: Healthy codependence is a lost, but worthwhile art. We have to look a little harder for it now, and I think we largely agree it's still there in healthy enough numbers. I'm not so sure that it is "most", however, but I always prefer to operate as that could be the case in any situation if that makes sense. Still, the ability to socialize productively as an essential skill set for emotional well-being seems to have declined. Still, I will give the "most" consideration a little bit more thought however and start counting beans. It is certainly easier to point out the negative, as we are creatures who fixate on contrast, and
that is a valid point.
Editing stuff:
People have been threadbanned for "hypothetically" "suggesting" people contact CPS over Nick's children and Null has said not to make such retarded comments. There's already accusations that the people in this thread violate the forum rules by meddling in Nick's personal life. You can use all the colorful language to make it sound implausible, but all these things have already happened.
One of my favorite activities is to come to the Farms to read colorful language. Still, I think notifying CPS would be "lame" given the circumstances. It'd be a pointless endeavor with lesser outcomes for the children even if one were to find justification to take the kids. The better alternative is Kayla stepping out or the grandparents becoming involved.
However... if a Minnesota cop happens to find himself behind a swirving Balldo in the middle of the morning with some kids in tow, I will be the very opposite of unpleased if he gets picked up because drunk driving is atrocious.
