My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented “kid horror” is too much (Poppy’s Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers...
I don’t think it takes all kinds, we’d be better off without assholes, but so long as we have assholes, we need to figure out a way to handle them, because if we just try getting rid of them, we end up with a bunch of sneaky assholes who are aligned against the rest of society.
People should be called out for being intolerant, and you can restrict intolerant behaviors, but still have to let participate free in discourse, because other wise intolerance never gets confronted, and you end up with a bunch of intolerant people who feel like they to lie and be secretive about their opinions to participate in society
Everything you just said is more or less true, but I think you’re underestimating the complexity of the right wing ideologies and social dynamics. The psychology of a right wing politician or media head is very different from your typical right wing shit poster, or average republican voter, and you should be careful lumping them all in together as a vague “they.”
It’s perfectly fine to be a “feminine” man. Young men do not need a vision of “positive masculinity.” They need what everyone else needs: to be a good person who has a satisfying, meaningful life.
As someone who was assigned male at birth, and never experienced any dysphoria from it, but who also doesn’t really identify with the term “masculine.”: I think it’s import to remember that for a lot of men, especially those brought up in more traditionalist households, being “manly,” is a core part of how they self identify, and how they relate the world. And when core part of our identity is threatened, our brains react as if our lives were at stake. I don’t know how necessary gender is for a modern society, but so long as so many people place so much importance on their gender it deserves to be respected, the same as any widespread, and deeply held belief.
I think we should always be challenging traditional ideas, and I think offering as many options and viewpoints as possible to younger generations is a good idea. But given the limits of online discourse, I don’t think you can meaningfully reject masculinity, without also rejecting everyone who strongly identify as masculine.
I appreciate opposing/different views as long as everyone is reasonable. That sub wasn’t void of trolls but it seemed to be more or less balanced (not to be confused with /r/askaconservative). I still lurk but I refuse to interact on Reddit.

The reason that Africa is the only continent with so many giants animals, is that humans hunted almost all of the native mega fauna everywhere else extinct.
If you look at the history of Life on Earth, mass extinctions, are actually kind of routine. Everyone knows about the meteor and the dinosaurs, but there are also 4 other times in history where 85% of species died, and it’s really starting to look like this might be about to see another.
What’s interesting about this article is what it leaves out. It cites experts who claim this is “diverts scarce resources from more pressing priorities: transit service and quality” yet that was far from the case in one of the cities cited in the introduction....
This is obviously a bad idea, but part of me is really hoping that somehow it works and proves everyone wrong. I guess I just like rooting for under dogs
Anybody else excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder? I think the animations look really slick and it’s awesome to see 2d mario that doesn’t look and play like a game that came out for the Nintendo DS in 2006.

I'd actually kind of love it if it became a common thing for some smaller sites to only be open on certain days of the week. It would make the internet feel a little bit more lively
Does anyone know of any kid-friendly "horror" games out there for children ~7 years old?
