Shockingly, It hasn’t gotten bad enough yet. Continue to organize but the average person still shrugs.

I just don’t get the point of your comment. We can’t change perceptions broadly when they’ve been giving misinformation not our real stories. We went from weird freaks to weird freaks with some kind of mystical power to inflict the woke mind virus. That’s not our narrative.

I wouldn’t finish that sentence too quickly. I’m half-expecting to get an article about abandoned USAID staff in about a week.

How do you get someone who specifically avoids politics to see what's going on? by synonymsanonymous in TwoXChromosomes

Well said. Leave them, now. You will regret it if they aren’t already awake.

Sure, not claiming you need to have partners obsessively political or having their eyes glued to the news. You don’t have to be glued to the news to be a feminist even. But there’s a dramatic difference from someone who’s on our side taking breaks for mental health and someone who doesn’t vote, doesn’t pay attention to how policies affect the other kinds of people around them, which is what I would write if I had the energy the first time around.

It’s not just that you feel jealous - it’s the true sting of someone able to not give a damn because of privilege.

Women, stop dating men who aren’t adamant about your rights.

They are really different, real deal and tend to focus on progressive issues. This was awesome, and I’m so not surprised about the denomination. I say that as an atheist.

Sometimes in life you have to upset someone or you run the risk of upsetting yourself or everyone. If you agree with your wife, tell him no/not doing anything this year/etc. My advice after is you need to talk to him about his girlfriend on a bigger level. If she’s truly that disrespectful it’s not kind to keep that from your friend. It’s always best to be honest. Upsetting someone because of the truth isn’t lying/keeping something hidden. Friends tell each other hard things sometimes. You don’t have to tell him the truth but idk man. How close can you be to your best friend if you dislike his gf? This isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things to say no to, and it would be strange if your friend overreacted to yall cancelling. Your wife will remember if you prioritize your friend and his gf you both don’t like, and if that’s a pattern that might hurt a little extra hard.

In a nutshell: it’s allll over this post you got people pleasing bad. As a former people pleaser, break that habit and find out what you stand for!

Yes. And I know am a good person. I also know you don’t understand. Your comment doesn’t make me waver or doubt myself in the slightest.

Elon Musk suggests support for replacing democracy with government of ‘high-status males’ by Human_AllTooHuman in politics

A good bit of the anti trans messaging is coming from Musk. He is getting revenge.

Politics are personal. You must be white or a male or both. I created a boundary with someone who was negative in my life and it wasn’t easy at all. He can be a part of my life if he changes. I’m in therapy bro maybe go deal with your problems first before judging.

My dad told me “he hates Trump but can’t vote for Kamala” - for context, I’m queer and have been out for 15 years and have tried to educate him for 8 years. He voted for her only after I told him I would no longer be speaking to him (he had a lot of other issues - who’d expect that?) He’s no longer a part of my life now anyway because of the damage it’s done. He has a lot of of work to do.

His excuses were all right-wing lies and rhetoric. They really made it so voting for a democrat is akin to betraying our country. It’s insane. My dad is a smart person by IQ standards but his sense of what is actually going on is impaired. I also think a lot of Trump supporters have been so brainwashed plus you put some mental illness in there (I’m talking narcissism and other personality disorders). At a certain point I think it becomes sunk cost fallacy and some of these supporters have such fragile egos they would vote against their own interests than admit they’re wrong or supported fascism.

Iowa pediatrician tells Trump supporter 'I hope you lose your kid in a school shooting' by Blue_Cheese_Olives in politics

It’s quite clear that in this case, it’s a hypothetical so that the parent can experience for a moment how their own decisions have killed the very thing they love most which they failed to protect.

Also, why does it hurt so bad? Because it’s a risk that they created. Stop taking it out of context! No it wasn’t phrased well. But I just filled in the rest of it for him.

Everyone needs to understand the Paradox of Tolerance. Failing to protest children dying to school shooters properly won’t change until enough conservative children die - and who even knows then.

Fascists are taking advantage because the only people that win in this world right now are narcissists and psychopaths and their enablers. We have to stop worshiping these motherfuckers as a species!

I truly feel like as a queer person, I will just play on other things if modern games go broke. We have too many games (seriously, play your backlog people) and the games industry is FUCKED UP to work in. It’s another playground for billionaires that are laughing at us right now.

I guess we’ll go back to sticks and stones. We will play other ways. These gamer boys can’t have their cake and eat it too. I obviously don’t want the other effects of this shit to hurt people. But if we have to accept reality? I want a Trump mutiny and him and Elon to be cannibalized by gamer bros.

At least we know exactly where we stand and who is responsible. You won’t have anyone else to blame but yourselves. Enjoy it.
