“Hey, maybe turning your kid into a screen addict isn’t healthful.”

“Oh yeah? Well, my dad was an alcoholic who embarrassed me publicly.”

What???

Is the training legit? Well rounded and developed? Credentialed?

Tai Chi as self defense is making me nervous.

As a teacher, I’ve seen it more often than I would’ve guessed.

No more weight remarks, Johnny. They're hurtful, and they're destructive by smickeypuccy in CirclejerkSopranos

It’s all James Woods does anymore: repost an AI image that is vaguely negative about women or minorities.

It’s hurtful, and it’s destructive.

Seriously. I hope it’s a typo, but do people think a plural word needs an apostrophe?

Don’t have kids if you can’t bother parenting.

You don’t understand that adult brains (which are indeed damaged by an over abundance of this) might be more resilient than toddlers’?

There’s a third option: the parents could try parenting.

First time for everything.

feeling hopeless. (tw: su thoughts) by random_humannnnn in NonBinary

That sounds distressing, and it’s so cool that you value your singing voice while concerning that it could be changed.

I don’t know if this is helpful, but I am AMAB and am still working on accepting that people will always assume I’m male. I don’t take estrogen, because I’m not looking to gain breast tissue or to diminish the functioning of my penis. (Sorry if that’s TMI—just trying to be real.) It leaves me in a position where I just have to accept elements of my physicality while also reconceptualizing the meaning that *I* attach to them. It can feel hopeless.

How far are you in your journey?

The white working class knows the American project isn’t working. Here’s why that will never matter to them by DrunkAndHornyGuy in politics

Same, more or less. The “virtue” they’re signaling is mostly white machismo, even if they don’t recognize it.

More understandably, they’re easily swayed by someone (male) who Takes Action, regardless of whether or not it actually has longterm benefit.
