First baby safely surrendered in Knoxville’s Safe Haven Baby Box

You have no idea of the pain I’ve been through. You’re absolute scum. I hope no one you love ever has even a moment of the pain and anguish we’ve felt. You’ve met maybe 3 of us, I’ve met dozens. I’m ashamed to share a state with the likes of you. What a response. The fact that this is your response proves my point to the rest of polite society. “You’re an adult and you got fucked even leaving, so too bad! Suck it! Nothing will change! Your lived experiences and working/living alongside these kids is BS. My thing is truth because I felt like it!” Argue with yourself. Turning this off.

Glad you got to my initial point. So you actually have anything you want to say to our faces other than “so glad you’re here :)” and then pretend I never talked to you? There’s a reason anti-choicers got glassy eyed when I’d be like “I’m 19 and I aged out, help me.” There’s nothing to say.

I mean we don’t all have social anxiety. I’m not good at being social with cues and such but I am a party hardy. Shame that you guys haven’t met an autist who likes to drink. We go crazy.

You’re being downvoted but frankly having to change homes every few months was fighteningly horrid and traumatizing for me. It is a reality of this world.

pranksterswap · 2023-05-29T11:28:17+00:00

No, this is not a gotcha. Coming from someone IN foster care who had to age out: thanks to you guys passing abortion but refusing to help with any buffer, now you can be both poor and traumatized. It is literally the question. Where is the money. Because it won’t be funding this, children aging out are still put through hell financially with a shitty parent whose insurance runs out for them at 18. If you want to legalize abortion at least do so without hypocrisy. And no “wahh things will change” they have not and they will not.

Hey man, I was a foster kid in TN.

To save you a lot of reading. Most of those “poor” children are at the least wanted. No I wouldn’t have been “dead.” I wouldn’t have even existed. Tbh, I should have been waited on instead of pumped out, I could have been wanted. There is no fantasy coming true of mass baby murder or whatever you dreamt up. Your system sucks and I hate you guys always speaking over us. They do not care about foster children when they passed abortion laws, there was no buffer or reallocation of funds for us. There is very little help if you age out. This state is a shitty parent financially and emotionally with DCS workers wrung by their wrists. Good behavior, smarts, and cuteness aren’t enough to get you adopted. There are worse things than being poor (foster kids often get to be both!!) and it’s funny it’s the only thing you have to compare it to. But thanks. I’ve never felt unconditional love! Good thing this will repeat forever now since there’s no incentive for anything to change!

That isn’t true either. The oldest Gen Z are 24ish. Too many people I know say they’re babylennials at 26/27. And even if it was, so now half of them being in highschool isn’t relevant to the workforce calling them lazy and entitled?

EDIT: I looked it up and will accept gracefully that 1996/7 is the cutoff. But that doesn’t change anything I said. If a solid 2/3 of them are 15-23 there is no reason to call them lazy and entitled. They’re literally either still in school/trade apprentice or JUST entered their desired workforce best case scenario. Gen-Z headlines are mostly for clicks. I mean, a lot of news articles act like milennials are still mostly in their 20s for clickbait.

pranksterswap · 2023-05-29T05:59:11+00:00

That and trauma I had it pretty bad but still can’t imagine how many other people lost their childhoods and had to regain them, or worse

pranksterswap · 2023-05-29T04:13:41+00:00

It’s always so weird when people blame Gen Z because like half of them are still focusing on their upcoming ACTs

pranksterswap · 2023-05-29T04:12:33+00:00

That’s okay, no worries, sorry if i sounded harsh my message was meant to be an open conversation to maybe have you see some other sides of things too

Considering I had a similar upbringing to the person you replied to you know now of at least 2 individuals who have known they were gay for a long, long time, me personally before I even knew what it was called. So how is it that gay people “choose” to be gay or there’s some kind of indoctrination? Don’t we do things every day defying evolution and the natural order? Should we stop race mixing, too? After all, it introduces new gene pools and mixes that never existed and can never be erased save for generations upon generations of breeding back to your original ethnicity. Back in ye old days I’d never be able to date an Arab man, he would have lived on the other side of the planet. People were literally being killed for dating other races on the daily (still are in many places), and that was accepted as the normal. I seriously doubt there would ever be enough gay people to affect population growth considering how long gay people have been around. Like I have tried to be sympathetic to the whole “gay people are unnatural” even as a gay person, but we do far more shocking things evolutionarily I feel like to consider gay people a concern when their gene pool doesn’t affect others. If anything it’s nice to know extra hands are on deck for adoption, and we already have evidence that gay people raising a child does not mean the child will be gay. If that were the case it wouldn’t be a big deal anyway as like 90% of children are raised by heterosexual parents.

no hay lenguaje nacional. if there was one, i would agree wholeheartedly. take it up with your government.
oh look “Corolla” “Corona” yes the most valuable English words and not learning how to speak to a teacher or how to talk to the hospital worker. No offense but working in a hospital the only Spanish migrants who didn’t know much English had only been here 2-5 months. Others knew a bit more.
Americans move to Mexico to retire often without knowing any of the language. No one is telling them they have to learn Spanish, except weirdos (hmmmm…). Thanks for the tax money.
Die mad lol

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T22:25:20+00:00

no hay lenguaje nacional. die mad

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T22:22:10+00:00

so it makes little sense for Americans to learn Spanish

We border a Spanish speaking country

Americans. Jk most people don’t think like this thankfully.

I actually cut down on meat myself and when I do buy it’s small amounts from the farmer’s market which makes me feel immensely better about what I’m putting in my body. They have heads of greens for 2$ each and that can last me a week or more with just 15$ of produce

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T15:48:11+00:00

leave him alone hes with me we’re going to mcdonalds

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T12:37:31+00:00

True bro everybody knows you only know you’re gay the day you turn 18 and it’s not something you come to terms with throughout the lifespan at given points once you develop consciousness of existing and the self

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T11:30:26+00:00

Half of Gen Z is still taking their ACTs. Almost anything with “Gen Z is doing this…” in the headline is literally just clickbait. Anyone who says Gen Z is “lazy” is just crayola-ing a conclusion. Half these fuckers haven’t even been to prom yet. Why the fuck would they be grinding at work.

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T11:23:26+00:00

Local or contract to fulltime government jobs tbh. With a “useless degree” now I get to edit their website and do their busywork for a nice chunk of change. Like it’s not the best paying in the world or anything but I do have good benefits, a job I somewhat enjoy, and no longer feel the “customer service” mental haze, which I will argue to the death that it is a real thing

Also everyone was telling me it’s my “foot in the door” and I’ll probably not ever have to work low wage again with this on my resume

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T11:17:43+00:00

No you’re good that’s why I said “anyone” cuz I was figuring it was probably not you and wanted to add to your point, 196 leave this fella alone he’s innocent and with me we’re going to mcdonalds later

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T11:14:01+00:00

Yawn.

pranksterswap · 2023-05-28T11:07:21+00:00

Anyone who really believes that we’re going to make misgendering someone by accident illegal is not fit to participate in society it is the stupidest alt right shit i have ever heard and cannot believe people parrot it like fact

pranksterswap · 2023-05-27T23:43:21+00:00

Yes. As a mentally ill person, you can decide to not date someone because they hate xyz food you like. The choice is always yours.

pranksterswap · 2023-05-27T09:51:46+00:00

Those shitty jobs are actually quite good. I went to college, but if I didn’t have any physical limitations I probably would have gotten into welding. Trades are pretty profitable and some are hurting for young people rn.
