we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

ISRAEL JUST BOMBED A TENT IN GAZA KILLING 6 CHILDREN.

[voiceofaboud]

One of them was a little girl with a broken arm.

[voiceofaboud]

My sister called me terrified… the bombing was near their tent. I truly thought my little siblings were gone. They survived by a miracle.

Wait i can learn from my mistakes? Ohhhhh ok i was just using them to torment myself

[josephbrassey]

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.

You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.

And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.

[miseriathome]

Even requited attraction doesn't need to be acted upon. Two people can be mutually attracted to each other and still decide not to date or not to change the dynamic of their friendship. People who are dating can mutually decide it worked better as a friendship, even if the attraction persists.

Feelings are just feelings. Not all feelings need to be realized as actions. It's very mature and cool to still treat people like people even after learning about their feelings, whatever they are.

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.

[mrskayathefrog]

why were you holding cue cards if you weren't even reading them?

[charlataninred]

*looks down at the cards at my feet* uh *they all just say “commit to the bit”* um. *kicks them away* emotional support?

[flightfulkwi]

what's some random intersection of things you're knowledgeable about/interested in that you think you'd be among the most qualified people in the world to explain?

like for example i think i would be among the top candidates to explain in Arabic how the Overton window can be used as a metaphor in cricket with the Overton twins as reference points. i don't think i'd be the best (that probably goes to some old British linguistics professor or nerdy Iraqi teenager in London or someone in betwen) but maybe i would be in the top 100
