Morte Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 21 minutes ago, Yuanrang said: Do you need someone to talk to? I fear I might have unwittingly been a colossal blockhead in a poorly aimed joke. Nope, it was a solid joke and I just didn't transition it well enough to the classic "is that a threat or a promise" line. Some would describe my humor at this stage of my life as "cheerfully suicidal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heb0 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I can sympathize, as I've also found myself in an "I'm not suicidal, my jokes just suck" scenario online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuanrang Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 One of my students commented that, since I had started reverting into Dad Joke levels of humor, their will to live was corroding quickly. ...and that is when I added "Expert in Mental torture" to my CV.

One of those sad things I have come to realise after 9,5 years as a teacher is that mental health issues is on the rise for teens nowadays. I recognise that the world I was born in 10-20 years prior, was a vastly different world than our current world. Either our current society is too high a hurdle to pass compared to the past, or we create broken children who cannot function when meeting a hurdle. Personally, I think it is a bit of both, but it is so easy to point to a generation and consider them weak, when they are probably surviving a hell of a lot better than I would have, had I been transported from the 90ies and early 00s to the late 00s or the 10s.

Yuanrang Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Ah yes, the good ol' "Teach them how miserable life can be, so life then becomes bearable" strategy. I am sure that will work out splendidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not struggle with thinking about what he might believe or not, or whether or not today will be the day you commit murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
