The saddest thing I’ve seen today:
A 6-year-old child should be drawing her own pictures, not staring stupidly at a screen.
Why do people do this to their own kids? They have a lifetime of sitting in front of a screen ahead of them. Why is any of this necessary at 6?
I’m not even asking why a 6-year-old needs to know who Elon Musk is.
lol have you seen this? Recently unemployed retarded resistancelib NBC reporter Jim Acosta who made a career out of screeching “FAKE NEWS” at everything is interviewing a ghost.

I agree — what a ghoulish and sad way for grieving parents to immortalize their son.

Yeesh. I can understand grieving parents doing crazy things.
But dang, just because somebody does something unhealthy out of grief, doesn’t mean you should shine a national media spotlight on it. That’s Jerry-Springer type exploitation.

Exactly. That Acosta doesn’t even understand how terrible his actions are is disturbing.

I have a 6yo. He loves to draw. It’s delightful: he draws helicopters and cars and trucks and tractors and fish hospitals (no idea) and the UPS guy and priests and deacons and saints and animals and of course every imaginable piece of military hardware because he has brothers. He’s just made one of those amazing leaps and started drawing not just the two wheels on one side of the truck, but also, just peeking out from behind, the two wheels on the other side. The first stirrings of perspective!
Like, I love to draw, and I was kind of bummed that my first two kids had no interest, so… little dude getting into it like that. You have no idea. This month he spontaneously switched from drawing people with two dots for eyes, to people with eyelids, irises, pupils, teeth, and even nasal alae. It’s the most amazing and wonderful thing, and as a parent I think my heart might burst.
And then you see someone bragging about subcontracting that to an AI. I think I might cry.
Yes! It’s so beautiful to see them go through different stages of drawing. I still tear up when u remember how my kid used to give every creature she drew a small eye and a large one. When I asked, she said that the large eye is the mommy of the little eye. She was recreating the mother-child pair even in something like eyes.
Or when she was drawing her Dad as gigantic and towering over buildings. He’s so important in her world that she sees him literally as larger than life.
To deprive a child (and oneself) of these experiences – truly I don’t understand what people are doing.
