fubo , to asklemmy in How would you expain the idea of social status to a child?

Some people have more friends than others.

Part of that is how friendly they are. Part is how pretty they are. Part is how smart they are and how able they are to help others. But part is how much they can afford to throw fancy parties, go to expensive schools, or get good health treatments.

The more friends you have, and the more friends your friends have, the more you can get done in society. If you want to start a business, get elected, or other things that require a lot of other people’s support, having lots of friends helps.

Sure it’s not fair. What you can do is figure out how to be a good friend to those around you and work well with others. This includes things called “allyship” and “solidarity” as well as just being nice to people and having useful skills.

Good explanation, just watch out so the kid does not start being wired with it’s friends. Maybe explain different kinds of friends.

This is exactly what i was thinking…

This is a perfect explanation for a sub-18 yo…

To a child, not so much…

But again, this is 2023, children these days are waaaaay smarter than us back in the 90’s

fubo ,

Well, you could just have the kids watch My Little Pony to learn about the power of friendship.

centof OP ,

That is much simpler and kid friendlier way than I could come up with. Kudos! A minor nitpick is that use the word friend implies that they are a peer, which in the case of role based status like a teacher doesn’t really fit.

I guess what I am looking for is a way to explain the double standard where its thought of as okay teacher or parent to yell but it is frowned upon if a kid does it.

Oh, well that’s not social status as such. It’s also “okay” in mainstream society for a police officer to yell at a corporate VP situationally, even though the VP has more buddies and more money and a better health plan and a hotter partner than the police officer does.

Ask the child, how much friends doest he/she have; then ask her about that famous kid in class.

That’ll stir any one up real quick 🤣

PS: The aim is not to “walk over your child’s feelings”; rather, showing the effect of social “scores” in real life…

Through this, he/she will start pointing out why the famous kid is “that famous”,

  • how does this kid treat others
  • how the kid talks
  • background (parents, neighbour-hood, etc)

With the aim of finding out why the other kid is famous… a fun miniature project 😊

I’m right and you’re wrong. I’m big and you’re small. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

Honestly, wikipedia is an amazing human accomplishment. Almost too much information, really.

Almost too much information, really.

But at least it has lists.

nitefox ,

Is this page listed as well?

And an astonishing number of them are about individual cricket players.

Sounds like a fact that I’d learn from Jeremy Clarkson

    There’s a section on recycling on the Wikipedia article, but it’s so vaguely written, I can’t make out what it’s trying to say.

    I have a photo with him when he showed up at a Defcon afterparty a couple of years back. Dude definitely was on something, but he was all smiles and happy to take pictures with everyone.

    He was one crazy mofo. He would’ve got in the octagon with Elon and the Zuck the same time and would’ve won. Not his fault the suckers forgot to bring a gun.

    How did they leave out the bit where he argued that you should be able to f*** whales? Like he was arguing it had to be consentual because of their size and shit.

    Also didn’t see the part where he raped a woman who was working for him (or I just went over the article to quickly)

    He was a crazy guy but his antivirus was legit back in the day. Then corpos took it over and it went to shit.
