@netflix@MLB streaming the HR Derby was a poor decision exacerbated by NETFLIX's lack of broadcast bandwidth to maintain an HD picture. Literally every other channel or Netflix show is crystal clear. Watching HR derby, picture quality is AWFUL!
Hey @NFL and @netflix . If you insist on airing games on pay PPV, you should also insist that said platform has the bandwidth to get the shows aired at something better than 1970's rabbit ear reception quality.

@uberminch Not sure which part of Germany we are from. Traced back 13 generations 12th generation are the ones who came to America, but very little info on their parents or where they originated
@babs_theboss@JustineBateman One of my proudest parenting moments was watching my 8-year old refuse on his own to accept a participation trophy from a tournament director. Shook his hand and continued on his way.
This is one of the consequences of the “trophies-for-everyone” upbringing of the early 21st century.
Basically, children were shielded from processing emotionally challenging experiences. My theory is that their parents were the first generation that en masse went to therapy, and learned that much of their negative feelings about themselves were due to how their parents treated them. Most of these parents did the work and recovered from that experience. However, they also vowed to ensure that their own children would not be on a couch in 20 years, having to recover from these parents themselves.
And so, these parents bubble-wrapped their kids’ feelings. They didn’t want them to experience defeat (hence trophies for everyone, and not just the winners). They eliminated the experience of a kid not being a guest and not the focus at a birthday party (by making sure the departing gift bags everyone got were full of items of greater value than the present they themselves brought). They eliminated the experience of the kids working out conflicts themselves (by the teachers at the schools insisting that the kids come to them immediately when a conflict with another kid arose). They eliminated the kid experiencing the poor results of not having done the class assignments (by parents calling teachers on the kids’ behalf to get a better grade (including college, btw)).
All to say, this was child abuse. These parents handicapped these kids by not letting them process defeat, disappointment, being left out, frustration, etc as children, so they could build those coping skills. And so, now you have a whole batch of adults processing all that for the very first time, with no practice, and no muscles in those areas. Truly handicapped.
Hopefully, these now-adults will learn these lessons on their own, but that takes guts. Now you know why this batch of kids created the Victim Olympics for their present-day adult selves.
