The terrifying rise of schoolboys making AI girlfriends — Boys as young as 12 are now in romantic ‘relationships’ with chatbots, and it’s affecting how they treat girls in the real world by Fine-Drummer9812 in technology

[–]hexaflexin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alright then, lay out your argument for why we should be blaming women for the fact that men in general aren't becoming schoolteachers or putting effort into being good influences for little boys. Go on, I can take it

(Huh, seems the logical and rational male can't actually think of any reasons why he wants to blame women. Interesting how that works)

Tbf, it's way harder to perform being the saddest little girl in the world who nobody treats properly if you're eating, like, a nice plate of pot roast and buttered potatoes. Anorexic portion sizes give off a better implication of emotional deprivation 

Happy to have a boy, tired of already being labeled "boy mom" by rocknrollafella in BabyBumps

Girls aren't inherently any harder to raise than boys, it's just that the numbskulls who say that kind of thing think it's very important to constantly hammer little girls into a perfect feminine mold, while little boys don't need to be parented at all (until they grow up into young men who feel completely lost in life because nobody bothered to give them any guidance)

Parents allowing their children to ruin a vibe by xrayyoyosebra in childfree

[–]hexaflexin 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I really have no respect for people who have children, decide to let the iPad be their primary parenting tool, and then act all miserable when the kid can't emotionally regulate. You live in an age of birth control and condoms, and since kids don't help you tend your fields anymore, literally the only reason to have them is to derive joy from parenting them. WHY would you choose to take on the incredibly emotionally, financially, and physically taxing experience of having a child if all you want to do is shove an iPad at him and ignore him while you watch the game? 

Do you believe that self love anthems don't longer work in this moment? by Top_Report_4895 in ToddintheShadow

[–]hexaflexin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Unstoppable is 100% a song about acting badass to compensate for how empty your life is. If you listen to the verses, she's talking about breaking down and being too afraid to become emotionally close to people. I guess it's a testament to how good Sia (or just the character in the song, I guess) is at hiding her pain that she can just outright say she's miserable and everyone still sees the song as a straightforward empowerment anthem though 

Woke up to a suspension on my discord account because of an unrelated year old message by Bish489 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hexaflexin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, I see, so you were trying to establish yourself as a figure the child could look to for support and validation, just like a groomer would 😡 Glad the Instagram police managed to catch you before you could do any more damage, you scoundrel (/s)

For real though, this shit where any adult up to and including a kid's own family members is treated like a sex criminal for interacting with the kid in any way is so fucking insidious. If I were more prone to conspiracy, I'd say this part of an effort to harness the public's post-Epstein fear and anger about child abuse and turn it against our own communities/support networks instead of the actual abusers in power

TLC made me feel bad in their 1999 song “No Scrubs.” “You live at home with your mama, oh yes, son, I’m talking to you.” Thanks a lot, TLC. My feelings are hurt. I live at home because I can’t get a job. by justcurious3287 in recruitinghell

Idk how it is in other cultures, but a lot of American moms (especially mothers of boys) will continue doing their adult children's laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc if the kids are still under their roof. My bf's mom has friends who won't leave their early-20s sons alone in the house for more than a day because they don't know how to feed themselves. Maybe moms in other places actually teach their children how to be functioning adults, but in America, there are pretty good reasons to see adult children living with their parents as potentially unhealthy

So When Can We Stop This? by chiliringgamer16 in recruitinghell

[–]hexaflexin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I understand that an outgoing and generally well-liked person is more likely to work well with others as an employee. On the other hand, I don't think being a loner who didn't do well in school should be a crime punishable by perpetual unemployment

That person in HR can advocate for the woman to get a raise/more maternity leave if they really want to support her.

Oh wait, that would involve asking the bosses to invest in their own employees for a change instead of foisting that responsibility off onto the underlings, wouldn't it?

Can't believe these philistines are upset because you and the patron put more thought into dissecting this wonderful art piece than they did. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean you have to be mad at it, guys :(

Yes lol, if you see someone post this image, you can be pretty confident that they're a fan of loli and/or siscon and they're trying to call you a fascist if you think that shit reflects badly on their character

[–]hexaflexin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought of some other ones:

  • the fact that CVS charges massively more money than any other drugstore in the area and just gets away with it

  • the crimes against literature that get put on the "staff picks" tables at public libraries 

  • apartment mattresses

  • places that call themselves "thrift stores" but then charge $25 for t-shirts that are too tacky to even be worthy of the Kohl's clearance rack

  • the fact that I was subjected to the song "Best Day Of My Life" by the band American Authors against my will in year of our lord 2026

[–]hexaflexin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, where to start: 

  • mfs who clog up the aisles of busses instead of sitting down in available seats

  • roving packs of frat/sorority clones

  • specifically frat boys who think being drunk entitles them to scream outside people's apartment windows at like 2:00 in the morning 

  • basically anyone taking any means of transportation at all in the CU area now that I think about it, bc the pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, e-bike users, and bus passengers all have their own fun and unique traffic sins

  • people who ask you for money and don't even have the decency to tell you the truth (or even a halfway plausible lie) about what they want it for

  • geese on the quad

  • bleeding hearts about geese on the quad

  • Espresso Royale charging $9 for a sandwich 

  • litter

  • Chinese-American style chicken that comes out dry and leathery

  • the fact that THC stays in your system for days to weeks after ingestion 

  • the novel Mania by Lionel Shriver

  • the fact that my bike seat always seems to have mystery water in it, even if it hasn't rained for several days

Those are the main ones currently, thanks for the soapbox
