I let my kid define his own relationship with me. I'm much more a "cool auntie" than a parent, but that doesn't mean I was powerless in my own house.
He got in plenty of trouble, lol.

Roses are red,
Devin Nunes can't hide,
Drumpty is a traitor,
And Nunes straight-up lied.
The roses are withered,
The defense was not "lit,"
Like all other traitors,
Nunes is a shit.

Is because imagination cannot be controlled, and when the masses are allowed to dream of better things (like a Star Trek utopia) they start trying to make a better world. This better world doesn't bring profits or power, but threatens those things. It seeks answers.
@KayAyDrew
When pets feel vulnerable they often don't feel comfortable eating (or sometimes going to the bathroom) without you *literally* watching their back. If your dog's vision is going, esp peripheral vision from cataracts, he's effectively blind while eating.
He trusts you.

@AngryBlackLady
Why do you think long-hair is exclusively feminine? Why is nail polish exclusively feminine? Why is makeup only now exclusively feminine when there were times it wasn't (Roman/Egyptian empires come to mind)?
Mostly through widespread Christian oppression and xenophobia, tbh.
@bullrike
@AngryBlackLady
Cool, that's on you. In my book you suck at being a woman because you *know* what it's like to be afraid, treated dismissively, barely tolerated, and as soon as you have a chance to choose between wearing the boot or helping, you chose the boot.
Dress it up how you like.
I have been in a dark place lately. I'll be honest, I just want to die: nothing seems to get better, and I get older.
I'm done. I want to be done. But I'm visiting my family right now, and I love them.
And my best friend just called saying that her sister killed herself.
@KyivIndependent
That's rich, seeing as how these soldiers are the only ones over there keeping the pact that the UK, US and Russia conveniently decided to ignore.

@SouljaBoymoder
So being Conservative means you're anti-semitic, misogynistic, and racist? 'Cuz that's why this chick is getting blowback, not because she believes is lassez-faire cut-throat capitalism and small government.
If you say it, we don't have to.
@QasimRashid
They're about to find themselves faced with gobs of unwanted babies so they're making sure to cause a demand... I'm sure the fact that the adoption agencies making money will be religious orgs is a sheer coincidence.
@Facts0601
I'd say it's actually worse than that: the Left and the Right have now decided that they are holding out for a Savior.
The One Who Will Save America.
Instead of voting for imperfect candidates or making deliberate choices to advance progress incrementally, we get children...
@ChudsOfTikTok
Not sure if it's edited, but the gents with the non-American accents (British? Kiwi?) didn't get attacked by the cops.
In America the Black guy got attacked, arrested, and *convicted* for the exact same crime.
@ERnurse86
When my sister and I were homeless we couldn't use the shelter because it locked down at 6 and we had jobs...but also because you had to attend service in exchange.
No thanks! We slept in my car and sofa surfed for two years instead. It sucked, but it was better than religion.
Faux News is one of the most prominent terrorist organizations of our time. They are complicit in the rise of Christofascism and have been encouraging violence and treason for decades...yet still are given press passes.
Fox News wants me and my staff physically harmed. Here’s how they do it 🧵

We do this ALL THE TIME where I live and then people whine that there are unhoused people sleeping on the streets. Like, where the fuck are they supposed to go?! All we're doing is punishing them, not solving the issue.

For real though, why wouldn't we? A loving family man who stands up to dictators and wannabe dictators, who treats his enemies fairly, and who isn't going to ask anything from his people he's unwilling to give himself... it's plain hero-worship at this point.

Agreed! What's next? Kim-Jong Un invades S.Korea but "he's got a nuke, better let him do what he wants!" Where do we draw the line between risking an existential war and letting smaller countries be annihilated because that's the sacrifice nuclear countries are willing to make?
@bullrike
@AngryBlackLady
I'm actually wondering if you do- these things don't need to necessarily be female, and it's like you're essentially telling a bunch of people, c¡s and trans, "you're being a woman ALL WRONG."
Are you more accepting of butch transwomen who don't do "woman" wrong?
@meanderingcj
You have nothing but my absolute sympathy right now. I really hope you guys are able to unionize soon and take some of the power back. In such in the same situation, but not enough people are radicalized enough to unionize. They mostly just quit.

I'm...not good at being a people, and I'm lost with young kids but VERY good with dogs. I unconsciously started marker training my nieces (positive/reward with blueberry frosted mini-wheats) when they were really little, and my family has never let me live it down.
@Urtoez75_2
Honestly, we should just give them what they want and take the Lysistrata approach. It's what I've done: I don't interact with FB men, and if my hubs passes before me, I'm just done with men in general.
Fight their laws in the streets, and keep 'em out of my sheets.
@jonathanstea
I come from a family of ADHD people, have a child with ADHD, and work in a pharmacy. The reason adults with ADHD struggle while unmedicated is the existence of people like Matt Walsh- society refuses any flexibility for people with ADHD, and medication makes their lives better.

It wasn't an accident: they were counting on a light presence being overwhelmed so they could take hostages or simply murder AOC and The Squad. We have video of police taking selfies with terrorists. This was deliberate aiding and abetting.

I don't; I just find it extremely improbable with a noticeable absence of evidence. I don't need much concrete evidence, but I demand SOME.

No, they didn't actually and they haven't taken any recent CPR classes either. Literally one of the first things they teach in the Red Cross classes is obtaining consent to assist- if someone is unconcious and alone consent is deferred, but it is absolutely part of the convo.

Eh, not to be "that guy," but in the book the Fremen are pretty particular about how sand conducts sound/vibrations, including a variety called "drum sand." So it doesn't really matter what Earth physics are because this is a thing that is established in universe.

Omg, I would adopt him if I lived even remotely close. He looks like my Soos who died last year. Soosie was also a shelter boy, but he was never short on swagger!

Once you realize something is just chock-full of males with this mentality, you realize you're going to have to be around them just soooo much and you wonder if you can love the thing more than you detest them.
@AlexKhrebet
I think the girl is being lied to:"abortion will prevent you from having ever being able to have kids," is a common lie told by forced-birth advocates. No woman/child should be forced to give birth. No woman/child should be put through *more* trauma to make god-botherers happy.
@natsechobbyist
From an atheist who knows the Bible better than she ever will:
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Every good tree brings forth good fruit; but an evil tree brings forth evil fruit, and by their fruits ye shall know them."
@ask_aubry
Damn...I specify to my husband on how badly I want something to *stop* him from searching all over town. Like if I asked him for a certain kind of drink I have to say "if you happen to see one, don't make it a quest," unless I *really* want it.
Because he will look.

@AngryBlackLady
I petsit for my friends quite often, and I *never* take a dog out without a leash. Some of these dogs I've trained, walked and sat with for years, and I still wouldn't take them to an unfenced area unleashed. I don't believe a VETERINARY clinic would be that careless.
@JoohnChoe
I'm always reluctant to ask other Fellas to act against the GQP (despite my obvious loathing of them) because I can respect not wanting to be involved in another country's VERY dirty laundry.
But I also point out that MAGA is *not* Ukraine's friend and is a very real threat.
@AbortionChat
The fetus is not "blamed" the woman simply is given agency to decide whether she wishes to be the mother of a rapist's baby.
We allow women to choose who fathers their children; we do not allow rapists to choose who will be the mother.

My partner is the poker player; wins awards and shit, and I'm the blackjack player. Both games involve highly ritualistic strategy (including pissing off everyone else for "playing wrong") and we're decent at what we do. We both are known to "play to the cards not the odds" too.

I applaud you my dude. I love shooting and the AR is my favorite long gun by far! I will never own one, I will never buy one, and I would vote to ban them in a heartbeat. The enjoyment I get from shooting isn't worth blood on my hands. I'm glad you are making that choice too.

Yes. People go on and on about "the power of hope," but for those of us with very little hope, "Petty" has stepped up admirably.

What an odd position to be in- comforting the newest member of the suicide survivors club while wishing it could be me. Knowing that the one of the only things that keeps me tethered here is my family and their love.

@DevinCow
That's fair.
I've voted my conscience before, and I think it's good to do so. I just also think we stand on the brink of fascism and I would rather continue to put pressure on Biden than risk another GQP plant. I don't have enough privilege to shield me from Project 2025.
@cmclymer
This is also quite false- this is the typical Western assumption that work as we know it (8 full hours) is a given of human condition. However, hunter/gatherer societies enjoy much more leisure time, and even the more agrarian groups have leisure time to hike, play and love.
@KatyaYushchenko
I've been saying this for the past two days. Many don't know about the Holodomer, but that was less than 100 years ago. Ukrainians know what will happen if Russia wins, and most of them would prefer to die fighting instead of starving. Or disappearing. Or of Novochok.

I came here looking for this reply- I used to do that at my mom when I was mad at her, but didn't know it was visible because she never said anything. Neither did my brother. Then I got pissed at some random kid and got accused of being possessed.

I was homeless for 2 years, but I did have a car and a job. That didn't matter, feeding yourself is tricky and expensive because you can't make anything. I ate a lot of cold spagetti-o's from the dollar store. I was safer because I could sleep in my car, and I was only able to...

You at least allowed yourself to grow; holding on to a genuine belief until new evidence appears is fine, refusing to accept new evidence because of that belief is not. If anti-choicers looked at the arguments truthfully they would know they're wrong, so they never do.

Sadly I have often replied similarly- because I'm often really just flailing for vocabulary so I end up sounding like a Jane Austin character.

Oh, it's worse than that. According to one article about Dr. Gokal, the big problem was that there were too many *Indian* names so he didn't distribute the vaccine "equitably."
It's been dismissed by a judge, but the county prosecutor has an axe to grind and too much ree time.
