They're all 90+. Do you think someone that old is doing anything besides watching soap operas?

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Depends on the person, I know a 93 year old who stays informed and still wants to understand what is going in the world.

Eh...sit in government, from what I can see? They really seem to enjoy that.

Watching Fox News?

I'm inclined to agree. I lost my grandfathers years ago, but I've gone through this thought exercise a lot since this all kicked off:

Assuming they don't already know: would I shelter a 90+ year old veteran from home-grown horrors that they'll never live to see resolved, or let them shuffle off this mortal coil blissfully ignorant?

Honestly, this is a situation where the truth simply won't do any good. I'd probably just not tell them and keep those soaps and old movies on repeat.

I'm not sure I could tell one if I knew one either.
