GRADS, CONGRATS, and if you are the Indiana University student who put this on your mortar board for your ceremony, please DM me so that we may figure out a way for me to buy you every last beer or cocktail you would like to consume to properly celebrate your graduation.
Watching the bear vs man in forest stories & I remember when our 9-year-old son said some boys at recess offered to play with him if 'he hugged & kissed a girl.'
He replied, "No, that's inappropriate," & told us he didn't mind not being able to play with those boys after all. Later his teacher shared she was happy he stood up to peer pressure.
Y'all—it's never too early to teach boys about consent & boundaries. Have the convo. Then again. And again. Boys will be the boys we teach them to be.
@wagesj45 My axiom works on valid criticism and lies. An example of each is “so many strange men have been aggressive toward me that I would rather be around a wild bear” and “Mexican rapists are flooding the Texas border.” Non-aggressive men and Mexican asylum seekers can simply continue existing as living proof that the criticism does not apply to them.
Going out of one’s way to say valid broad criticism doesn’t apply to them individually is unhelpful and suspicious. As for broad lies, no one needs to give them more attention, as a debate would imply the lie has validity.
I’m only bothering to explain this because you don’t yet seem completely irredeemable, but you gotta stop using r/MensRights talking points to dig yourself into this #NotAllMen hole. Instead of invalidating women’s feelings by trying to find logical fallacies in their legitimate fears, just be a good man who women can feel safe around. Saying “I take every criticism about the worst men personally” ain’t it.
The efficacy rate of people eating bags of dicks after I have told them to eat a bag of dicks is remarkably low, but do I let that deter me? No. This is the power of BELIEVING in what you do, kids.
It still blows my mind that 99% of monitors out there still have lower resolution than Apple and LG's 21" monitor from 2016. Refresh rate is cool, but cmon, Obama was still president back then
@geomaster337@christianselig Finally. If I was shopping, the Dell AW3225QF looks free of compromises, and is curved gently enough I might forget it is curved after a while.
I don't have anything against taco pizza on principle but I think it should be a pizza folded over with a bunch of taco stuff in it, basically making it a comically large taco and you have to eat it like a taco and I get to laugh a lot watching you attempt this.
This bullshit going on reminds me about something that happened on the Fedi a few years back about how this popular tankie dude was trying to debunk the poverty draft with some study from the Cato Institute that didn't say what he thought it said.
Like if you don't like "spicy," stop ordering jalapenos. Now you've got the food corpos ruining it for the rest of us.
(Sadly I don't remember who RT'd this into my timeline and I can't find the post now that I've actually gotten around to reading it; but whoever it was, thank you, this heinous bullshit MUST be exposed.)
