I don't know.

This itself seems like propaganda to blame the unrest on TikTok or foreign countries, rather than fundamental issues within Spain or Europe generally.

It can both be true that TikTok was a factor in the increased property damage and that Spanish citizens are unhappy and ready to protest. Or that 130 people were ready to do property damage and there also, TikTok videos.

What would "seeing riots coming" look like?

What was possible? For dads to learn how to do all of the things moms traditionally do when raising children.

"be a mom"

Meal cooking, diaper changing, dish washing, laundry doing, bottle feeding, late night soothing, bed time put-downs, morning time get-ups, logistical organization of things like meal planning and doctor visits, monitoring the baby while its awake with 100% attention, etc

In the later years its things like school activities, crucial life conversations, the logistics of taking them places, managing making sure they're doing their homework, being a trusted advisor for them to confide in, etc.

Many modern Dads are fulfilling more of these roles, but its easy, especially when Dads are working, for dads to hide behind their workload and not learn how to engage with a lot of these kinds of tasks as a matter of course.

    We will have to do something different" is weak sauce.

I'm not sure I understand. We don't have to like it for it to be true.

It's not like the modern system for university tenure track is some fundamental human right.

Pythagoras did mathematics one way, Newton another, and the kids in 2050 another.

The wheel turns, and we all got to turn with it.

Don't overcomplicate it. There is no one true way, for Minecraft or for anything.

    I don't get it

Because it looks cool to see the real world in blocks. And if it looks cool, it is cool, as they say.

    actually use a search engine again

I like how the search engine, something that also just came into being, is the metric here for "normalcy".

Reminds me of the quote:

    Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
    
    Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
    
    Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

What's confusing about that?

I like icons

Yes, this is wise advice.

Too many husbands get slightly behind in the first few months and never catch up to doing their share.

The best way to feel comfortable, confident, and close with your children is to "be a mom".

Like anything, you don't know how it works until you do it.

    overly anxious generation
    I feel

You clearly have a lot of "feelings", but do you have any facts? On any of whether children / young adults are actually more anxious, on how parenting has changed, and whether those two things are related?

    I've mostly seen
    manipulation

As you've said, perhaps the problem is that you seem to live in a space where all you're experiencing is manipulation, and not that supporting your children and teaching them the skills needed to navigate and regulate their emotions is "pampering".

Most children and young adults I interact with closely these days seem to be far more emotionally mature than my cohort or my parents' cohort.

But that's also just my anecdata.

Ah, the music is so nostalgic. Really takes me back.

The term super intelligence makes me cringe so hard, you can just use the regular term.

You don't have to give any more legitimacy to Trump's inane ramblings than they already get.

Why does everyone keep framing this as if this is a decision this person is making?

This is what is happening to the industry. It's a fact of life. A new technology has disrupted the method through which software is created. There's no going back and there's no pretending we can continue not using it.

You either adopt the tools now and have trouble finding a job later or have trouble finding a job now.

Why?

Why would we want to PREVENT that!?

We should just be paving the way for the necessary social safety net so they don't have to work and won't starve.

Not throw the baby out with the bath water. Who WANTS to have to work!?
