One of my siblings is going to school once a week, I think lockdowns definitely fried some brains.

Covid frying brains + kids wondering what the point of education is because there are no jobs + lib teachers not knowing how to deal with fascists or communists + teachers being terrified of losing their jobs if they say that Columbus wasn’t a saint (for instance).

I don’t see how so many people are saying this. My wife is dealing with similar problems with children as young as 4 they don’t know how to write their names let alone know what anything you’re describing even is.

Wouldn’t this be covered under covid frying people’s brains? Or are their parents too desperate and exhausted from working all the time to teach their kids to read?

From what I understand it is pretty typical for these kids to not know how to write their names yet. Like the curriculum is very much still “this is the color blue” “it is now nap time”. You still have to do everything for them they are basically still babies. But that wasn’t the point I was making I can see how that would be confusing because of the way I wrote it. It is not the fact that they can’t write their names that is concerning, it is the behavioral issues that are clearly present in kids this young because they are issues that are directly related to being born around the time lockdowns were occurring. I’ve written some of them out in other comments ITT.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
