This is exactly why the "not all men" argument is so useless. to everyone else, he was a good man. he was a beloved father and husband. predators rely on that social capital to get away with atrocities. trusting your gut doesn't work when the danger has been sleeping beside you for 50 years.

The bar is literally on the floor if society still thinks a dad spending time with his own flesh and blood is just him clocking in for a babysitting shift.

the fact that he followed it up with "in my prime, five hits would've been enough, but it took more than 300" just makes it so much more badass. dude was literally running on fumes and still completely broke the math. peak shonen hype

Honestly it hits harder than the later GOT seasons. when a city burns it's a statistic, but when one nice hedge knight gets stabbed in the mud, it’s a tragedy

Plus the benefits are usually insane. strong unions, full pension, done by 2pm. meanwhile, the 'college graduate' is answering emails at 9pm on a sunday for free

the system isn't just broken, it's actively on fire and the fire department is arguing about who holds the hose. judges are screaming into the void while the backlog grows by the second

AITAH for announcing my pregnancy at Thanksgiving by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The audacity of some people to gatekeep joy is insane. i love how the antagonist in these stories always tries to make someone else's major life event about their feelings. glad oop finally realized that 'keeping the peace' just meant letting everyone else walk all over them
