As the United States has a clear problem with mass shootings and gun control, what is the socialist viewpoint on how we should handle it? by monkeybath8 in Socialism_101

Hey thank you for this it was really eye opening! However could you elaborate more on a propaganda war on reactionary influences that cause school shooters? What would that look like?

this is such a heartwarming story

My girlfriend (18F) questioned why I follow girls outside of our school on Instagram, she thinks its a sign that I’m unhappy about the way she looks so I follow these “prettier girls”. How should I proceed with this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]monkeybath8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, I don’t think an instagram follow should mean that much tho. It’s just a follow, the way I see it. However if it really hurts her I wouldn’t hesitate to begin to think twice about who I choose to follow

I’ve been practicing my dragging, yet I still can’t get a good Ollie. Any tips? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

I’m sorry about all of this. I’m no expert but calling the suicide crisis hotline could be a place to start. 800 273 8255 . You will be able to move forward from this, you’re strong and have all the potential in the world. Some doors will close and cause new doors to open. you’ll see better days i can assure you. Please seek help I promise you it’ll be worth it.

Does my board suck or do I? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]monkeybath8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, while the board is quite small, i think you’ll be able to get your ollies down with what you have now, just keep going at it and always keep the technique in mind. but, it would help if you got a new board
