One of life's great ironies is that almost everyone who makes the active decision to not have kids would probably be way better at raising a child than all the people who just kind of have children because it's what they think everyone is supposed to do

[setulose]

Like genuinely if you're like "I don't want kids because of the financial strain/the commitment/the irritation I would feel/the possibility of traumatizing them/whatever reason" you instantly demonstrate to me that you 1) understand the realities of parenthood and 2) believe that children should be treated with at least a base level of respect and compassion. Meanwhile everyone who's like "I want kids because I don't want to be alone" "I can't wait to dress up my babies" "I won't raise my children to be soft" may as well be talking about Neopets for all the fucks they seem to give about kids

[phaeton-flier]

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

[morlock-holmes]

Among other things if you can't use the legit market you turn to the black market anyway.

[kelpforestdwellers]

if you're worried about addiction, build a society where people get their basic needs met, including pain management.

#i also would prefer addicts be on prescription drugs that are exactly what they say they are#rathet than unregulated drugs which are full of who the fuck knows (tags via @shanastoryteller)

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

Not to mention that it's not a binary of deserving pain patient OR undeserving addict.

Many of the people who have significant enough pain to require long term medicated pain management have addiction complications.

And no one is waking up one day, happy and healthy and deciding to start doing opioids for the hell of it. Basically everyone experiencing addiction is also experiencing some sort of pain they're trying to ease.

Addiction is a common comorbidity of pain.

To refuse people pain management treats neither the pain, nor the addiction. It makes both worse.

Normally you'd be right about gay fanart of media from the 90s but just this once it's actually like this.

[cryoverkiltmilk]

Fellas, what's gayer? Being gay, or whatever these two had going on?

I think I might be about to send a deranged email

Couldn't find an email address so it was instead a deranged form submission

Ok so what is jaywalking then

[snail-girls]

It's crossing a street somewhere that there isn't a designated crosswalk (pictured below in case knowledge of what a crosswalk is isn't universal)

[felixfeliccis]

Oh I did not know that's what it was called! How fascinating!

[felixfeliccis]

What do you mean a crime

[snail-girls]

Yeah it's technically a crime in the US but as far as I know it's basically never enforced

[yaoiboypussy]

Nah they enforce it. I know someone who got a $30-ish fine for jaywalking.

[hrair-metal]

Jaywalking became a crime when the automobile lobby started more aggressively taking over the street to prioritize cars over pedestrians and public transit.

Obligatory @amtrak-official

[queer-as-city-folk]

That is true, the banning ofJaywalking was literally lobbied for by the car companies to make cars have to stop less on city streets

The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of "jaywalking"

In the 1920s, auto groups redefined who owned the city streets.

[anarchistmemedistro]

and of course your experience of whether it is enforced or not depends on your race and class

[kittykittyredcat]

Heavy on this ^ it’s not often enforced but when it is it’s almost exclusively enforced for people of color.

It also wasn’t lobbied for just so that the cars had to stop left often, it was also that cars were killing so many people when they were first invented that they were getting a negative reputation. The car companies lobbied for jaywalking to become a crime so that it was the pedestrian‘s fault if they got killed by car rather than the car’s fault.
