It's so funny they chose the Cowplant as the mascot for The Sims Marketplace, a plant that literally lures you with cake and then fucking eats you raw 😭

I think a big reason why "children are an oppressed group" gets (wrongly!) read as a "pedophile talking point" is that everyone treats children so terribly that actual child molesters can speedrun winning a kid's trust by like, actually respecting their needs and perspective, at least at first. Which means that the only way out of this mess is for all of us adults to treat children with respect, so that abusers can't use the rareness of that respect as a weapon.

[discodeerdiary]

Yeah I've been thinking a lot about how cults will prey on marginalized people and how it's so much easier to push an "us versus them" mentality on a person who already (legitimately, accurately) perceives the world as hostile to them

it’s really really something to me the way shane deadpan flat-affect autistically autopilot’s his way thru any conversation with a lick of accusation to it, and then the second he’s high on painkillers he’s just “yaaaaay my boyfriend!!!! yyayyayayaaayy :3 yaaaaayy”

When someone is overflowing with compassion for Charlie Kirk and not for other murder victims, it can be hard to understand how that's possible.

But there's a very simple explanation. On the giant list of people who have been murdered, this is the one in which they feel like it could have easily been them.

Someone was murdered by police? That could never be me. I obey the law.

Someone was murdered by a man because she rejected him? That could never be me. I don't lead men on. Or I'm a man.

Someone was murdered for being LGBT? That could never be me. I'm not LGBT. Or I am but I'm not flamboyant about it.

Someone was murdered for being Muslim? That could never be me. I'm not Muslim.

Someone was bombed in another country? That could never be me. It's happening way over there.

Someone died because they couldn't afford healthcare? That could never be me. I'm healthy.

Someone died because they're homeless and froze to death? That could never be me. I work hard and make smart financial decisions.

Someone was murdered for being openly bigoted? That could easily be me. If this becomes a pattern, I could easily be next.

This is the one time in which their privilege doesn’t protect them. This is the one time in which their face is vulnerable to the leopards. This is the one time in which they fear that the "first they came for" poem will end with them.

Anti public defender sentiment NOW of all times has GOT to be a psyop and I’m not being hyperbolic

[laguardia-terminal-b]

‘You’re arguing to give rapists a lighter sentence you’re arguing for clients you know are guilty’ you are arguing for a state that can get away with whatever it wants so long as it calls someone a rapist. You are arguing that the state only needs to meet its burden of proof for innocent clients. You cannot be this stupid, I refuse to believe it.

[semper-draca]

I saw a poll going around about "Do you think it's a good idea for 18 year olds to get married, yes or no, no nuance" and idk I have some thoughts about that lately. (creating my own post because I don't want to bother the op, no one bother the op)

Do I personally think it's a good idea for 18yr olds to get married? No. I think at that age you're pretty young to get married and your choice in partner is not likely to be great. Maybe you only just met your spouse (and thus don't know them that well). Maybe you were high school sweethearts and while you know what your spouse is like while they're going through those years, you don't know what they're going to be like after college or after joining the workforce, and those years can be crazy formative. Maybe, though I hope not, you're marrying someone that your parents picked out for you or otherwise arranged, in which case there's a lot wrong (and you should have protections from familial abuse).

However. I also don't think that there should be any restrictions on 18yr olds getting married. At 18 you are a legal adult (in the majority of countries) and thus you have the right to make even the stupidest of decisions about what happens to you and your body. You can get regrettable tattoos. You can wreck your lungs smoking. You can go into debt buying the world's most expensive car. You should be able to chose to marry your dumb high school sweetheart and you should also be able to chose to divorce them a year later.

I feel as though there's this growing sentiment of "well sure this person is technically an adult, but they're still *young* so they should be protected from making bad choices" and that's. Hm. Young or mentally young or emotionally mature is something that people seem to have a difficult time defining on a level that can actually be logistically enforced or implemented. And we see these days what can happen when people *do* try to implement "but you're so yooooung (and dumb)" policies like what's happening with trans people where "legal adult" is still too young to transition so maybe 25 is the new limit at which you can transition but blah-blah debunked science about brain development so maybe the new limit should be 30 - " etc etc.

At 18, as a legal adult, you should have the freedom to make the decision to get married. You should have the freedom to make any dumb, regrettable, poorly thought out decision that you want, and you should have the freedom of an adult to either reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of your decisions. That's life, baby. Your hand cannot and should not be held forever until some arbitrary time at which some random person thinks you're "old enough". We have an obligation to respect people's rights to make choices that we think are bad. We have an obligation to respect people's rights to do things that they can't take back because we think a hypothetical future version of them could regret it.

We have an obligation to treat adults as adults.

[kiralamouse]

I will add that you can't actually protect anyone from inexperience by refusing to allow them to experience something. The biggest difference between an 18yo and a 28yo is life experience. Try to shelter people as less-than-adults till age 28, the 28yo will make the same dang mistakes. Years don't grant experience on their own, magically.

Of course, if you've sheltered the 18yo the same way you shelter an 8yo, you'll end up with similar problems. Independence and risk should be a graded continuum with a goal of 18 (or at least high school graduation) being capable of adulthood.

I strongly believe in protecting children. But I also believe that part of protecting them is letting them take increasing risks and responsibilities so they can gain experience and maturity. And 18 should be the deadline for anyone else getting to decide how protected they are.

[willowofthehearth]

Not to mention that learning to admit "hey, this thing I did was a mistake" and also asking "can you help me out of this mistake I made" is a skill SORELY lacking in so many adults.

We need to let ppl do this again. Instead of preventing young adults from making mistakes we need to create safety nets so those mistakes aren't the end. Teach them how to admit a fault, and fix it or move gracefully.

Im interested in learning everyone's media traditions. Like watching Die Hard every Christmas or Groundhogs Day every Groundhogs Day. id love to know if anyone has a specific summer movie or Halloween movie or St. Patrick's Day movie or whatever. please tag it so I can know

Okay, I was not expecting this at all and I have to admit, I have not listened to any music from Chappell Roan before, my fault and that is going to change...but this is hauntingly beautiful and it's beautiful to see so many people come together to do something for not only themselves, but for this video too.

This needs to be shared everywhere really, it really is beautiful.

[coreomajoris]

I know this song well but hadn't listened to it in a few months, and this version just made me cry and made me think about various queer regrets and frustrations I had during the era I grew up in. It means so much to see people come together to sing this.

We were forced to flee again, and of course this displacement was not a decision we made. The occupation forced us to do this after it started launching thousands of shells in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza. I was displaced there, and after this violent shelling, gunfire, missiles, and fire belts that have not stopped until now, we were forced to head to the western Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, it was not an easy thing because of the scarcity of transportation, the intensity of the shelling, and also with my father’s difficult illness.

[sporesgalaxy]

Nader and his family were forced to move from the area they were in to another place. I can't imagine how difficult it was with Nader's father's illness and the presence of a little girl less than two years old and the lack of transportation. Please help Nader so that he can live a better life. Donate to them from here. Their campaign has been verified by gazavetters and they are number 4 on that list.

[abdalsalam2000]

It has been more difficult than you can imagine guys please help us get out of here and donate for us to treat my father and live a better life than this life with all my family members

we need to legalise learning for adults

[dumbpuppyfag]

"the education system here is so bad 😭" they taught u how to open a book didn't they?

[dumbpuppyfag]

how is it that revolutionary movements in the world's poorest countries can understand dialectical materialism but ppl in the global imperial core can't learn basic history? ur phone has access to every major published work in history for free (in ur own language no less!) but first u gotta stop pretending they hit u with a bolt gun when u turned 18. the problem isn't that this information wasn't spoon-fed to u, the problem is that u think it has to be.
