LMFAO NO man when I was that age I was terrified of looking like a stupid kid and was always so careful about when I actually argued with adults about things, what happened?
@t34doll
When I got my name and gender marker updated at the dmv, the little old lady working the stall next to the one I was at overheard and was so excited for me lmao, it was so sweet
@maityman
This is really cool, I had no idea China was once so deforested. How'd this reforestation come about? Intentional government campaign, changing economic dynamics, something else?
@BAEGulinnas
@jErk
Possibly both. It's not uncommon for autistic people to love the sensation of being bite and so be big biters as kids (this applies to ne and some of ly friends), and if his family didn't stop him then he probably just uses it as a form of affection similar to a hug

I will gladly accept the slings and arrows of Chinese, German, even Argentinian criticism of the US. But God forbid the British think they do anything better than us :P
@AnechoicMedia_
A lot of people live with hallucinations and delusions as just a minor, if perhaps upsetting, part of their daily life. Like most other mental health issues, it only seems rare because people only really notice the extreme cases.
@BeijingPalmer
When my dad was in high school, it was an open secret that 1) many of the teachers weren't safe to be alone around, 2) many of the students weren't safe to be alone around, and 3) nothing could ever be done about any of this because the principal was the worst offender
@titsingungzyu
I don't think Cobain was a trans woman because she wore a dress. I think she was a trans woman because her dairy entries read EXACTLY like my pre-transition diary entries.
@steamyporkbuns
I would ask why is it so hard to acknowledge that Hawaii was brutally colonized by the US, still needs better treatment, and that the current situation is such that Hawaii wants to remain part of the US but then I remembered the people saying this kinda stuff are mostly kids
@LinkofSunshine
Having an escape plan is fine, but my whole understanding of having a family of any kind is about creating an enmeshed household where resources are held in common. If you're not doing that what's the point??
@InternetHippo
That has nothing to do with if the economy is good or bad. Lunch cost a quarter back in the 1930s, doesn't mean the economy was good then lol. The value of money is relative!

@nikicaga
San Fran and Seattle are individuallthe wealthiest cities in the US, but the wealthiest metro area is the Northeast megalopolis by far
@PunishedGramsci
That doesn't make the US a far-right country though. There exists extreme far right communities within the country, but that's not the same as the political structure of the country being far right.
@BadgerJust
@worsematt
People dedicating their time and energy to something that does nothing to help Palestine all while thinking they're supporting the cause and therefore not directing that energy to things that can actually help is bad.
@oncloud_e
I've had this conversation many times lol. I keep being like "I have suicidal thoughts daily, but it's not like I want to act on them, so obviously there's nothing wrong" lol
@philip_crawford
@d_feldman
There's always a worse situation. Your situation was much better than living on the street in seattle, and that would be much better than living in Gaza. 'It could be worse' doesn't mean it's not bad, or that it doesnt need to improve.

@untiloasis
What are you talking this isn't a "the author said" thing this is a "you can only read her as winning if you're in a dangerous place mentally" thing lol
@Tyler_The_Wise
Fron what I've heard from people in jobs with remote work, their already established coworkers only got better to work with once they went remote, but the 20 something new hires are incredibly difficult to deal with and learn significantly slower, if it all, through remote work.
@ElGranSenglar
When I came out in high school one of the most supportive guys in my class was a total fratbro. He was genuinely fascinated by the whole being trans thing lol. He was a lot of fun, when I got a bad high for the first time at a party he coached me through it
@Staroxvia
That they have done a colonialism? Then point out how many Irish people live in the US. After the potato famine, the Irish that fled Europe for the US were heavily recruited into the military and participated in the Mexican-American war and the project of westward expansion

@judgementshae
On a more literal level, your body can't redistribute your fat if you don't have any. If you're not eating, you're not gonna get boobs, or curvy hips, or a rounded out face, or any of that other good stuff you get from hormones
@revhowardarson
A had a friend in high school who was into extreme camping, and peanut butter was his go to camp food. Didn't go bad no matter the weather, rich with fat and protein, and could be eaten straight out the jar with no prep work. Absolute miracle food really
@nikicaga
My dad was one of the guys who worked his ass off to make sure y2k wasn't a problem, it irks me a little that people know so little about what actually happened around it
@Staroxvia
I mean, there is historical precedent for the President overriding the Supreme Court. I'm just not sure Andrew Jackson is the guy we want to model 21st century politics around
@nikicaga
In general, most of preventing CSA comes from teaching kids about it and how to protect themselves from it, not keeping them away from situations where it might happen
@undertheeyebags
@vanillaopinions
I think contra takes to much pride in being a 'mysterious mean girl' these days. It's kinda just sad and uncomfortable to watch
@TomAlMalik
@MalevolentAstra
Eh, the documentation of elgabulus' life comes from their political enemies. They definitely weren't gender conforming, but believing even half of what was written about them is just falling for old Roman propaganda, unfortunately.
@BeijingPalmer
It honestly really misses me off how willfully blind most people to how frequent CSA is, and how so much of human civilization has been defined by the systematic rape of the youth. We have only made progress by bringing these things to light! We need to keep talking about it!

@nise_yoshimi
As a non brit, I fucking love Britain. Whenever I feel down about the US's poorly managed government traditions I just look at Britain and feel so much better
@tomjc09
@Staroxvia
It's a tax haven for the west and it benefits from its current status as a white nation, so if you define those as doing colonialism then there you go. But otherwise I don't think so? They were conquered by England in the 1400s, before the age of European colonialism started
@two_n_minus_one
It is compatible yeah, it is compatible yeah, but it's also not true. Trump wasn't an average president. He wasn't uniquely awful, but like how many other president's terms ended with an attempted violent coup. Not many lol
@MonkipiQuinn
@AdamBlumenau
But jocats song is about actual kinds of girls, he just used fictional characters as examples. Which honestly to me is much better and less creepy/sterile than if he used real women as examples, especially since he has a wife
@revhowardarson
There's a big difference between a live-in maid and a maid that comes once a week to clean. One is fine, the other is borderline slavery. We really should have separate words for the two lol
@testostyrannica
@JosephPolitano
Thats absolutely nonsense. That's like saying all sociologists are apologists for power. It's a broad field of research that exists in a million different formulations in a million different people.

If you think that was disturbingly elaborate you obviously have no idea what it actually looks like when someone shares their kink fantasy lmfao

@LittleMammith
Being so distressed about the suffering of people you don't know who live half a world away that it prevents you from functioning and living your day to day isn't some noble suffering, it's neurotic.
@worsematt
I meet the recruitment demo for cops fairly closely, the local pd has a sign on bonus that would cover all my current debts, and a 6 figure salary that would drastically improve my QoL, and yet I'd still rather be unemployed scrambling to find a retail job that barely pays
@sidhe_her
Like, we all know if Finnster ever switched to she/her pronouns, let alone officially declare himself a woman, then half his audience would disappear. Which is kinda sad, cause as a casual fan it seems like Finn would be happier as a public she. But that's just vibes
@Chican3ry
The people who murdered Brianna ghey were absolutely themselves vulnerable children, and that's part of the tragedy. They're not monsters, they're kids, and that makes the monstrous thing they did so much worse and so much more damning of the transphobia in society I think
