    The cultural difference seems to be you seem to take everything literally. It’s a touch of absurdist sarcasm that is a play on the GOT phrase “my sweet summer child.” Did you really not get that?

    Y’all gotta lighten up just a bit or this shit’ll kill you before you ever affect it.

      Honestly it’s lemmy, I expected age based condescension more than a Shakespeare based one. Unfortunately tone is hard to convey over text

      Edit: IDK why I said Shakespeare instead of GOT

        Fair. Sorry for the miss on that, then. That’s on me. But certainly not Shakespeare-based; George R R Martin-based. Which is far worse.

        Anyway, the Olds poisoned our skies and soil bodies and minds. My generation as well. No reason to let anyone else’s nostalgia brainwash you to their point of view of how strong and noble and thoughtful they thought everyone else was when they were kids.
