    Would you say that common sense changes with the generations? What was once common is no longer, and what was uncommon becomes common?

      common sense changes with the generations

      Not 4 generations from a massive pandemic that caused a financial collapse that caused widespread poverty and fomented the blame and hate that started the second big war and the generational stress that built, and we forgot why we fucking take vaccines.

      Once upon a time, it was considered common sense to tie your shoes. Then Velcro came along…

      Wait, you weren’t born knowing how to tie your shoes?

        I guess about everyone (kids/teens) know how to tie their shoes, but something I saw in the last 10 years or so, kids, especially in big towns, does not how to ride a bike. I’ve seen teens who never rode a bike and don’t know how.

          Damn, really?

          I almost wanted to comment about how cursive writing is getting lost these days instead, but damn, bicycles?!

              LOL, I actually learned how to read analog clocks at age 9, by myself, just by watching the hands tick for like 5 minutes.

              Still though, even that isn’t common sense, I had to refer to prior education to know to associate the position of the hands with the hours, minutes and seconds numbers I had previously been taught.

                Oh, yeah… I forgot about the common sense part. I was just thinking about changing skills.

                  I just figured out that nobody gives a flying fuck.

                  Matter of fact, how many ducks does it take to fuck a flying duck?
