hot take in a roundabout way i think that's also why so many of us opt out of becoming parents ourselves

Does anybody know how to fix it

[rosslynpaladin]

Start disappointing people and not backing out of it when they are upset, reject feeling ashamed of everything including of yourself, start saying No to things you do not want to do not just things you're scared of, do more of those things you're scared of but wish you could do, make your own plans and execute them, decide to do or not do something without basing it on who will Dislike it.

Free Will takes practice, and the chance of making someone somewhere Slightly or even Very Disappointed In You. But you're an adult and you can't be made to stand in a corner anymore.

This isn't very hard when you know some of the most genius strategies in human history were incredibly stupid, circumstantial events that led to victory by sheer luck of that strategy working.

Case in point: Tsun Zu's rival defended a city with 10 men against Tsun's army of hundreds by disarming his own soldiers, dressing them in plain clothes, INVITING Tsun's army to come in, and it only worked because Tsun knew the guy was an ambush master and thought "if we attack the city he's inviting us into, we will die." and left without even trying ON THE BASIS OF HIS RIVAL'S REPUTATION AND NOTHING MORE

Another example: Tsun Zu, on being told his soliders were out of arrows during a battle against a city across a river from them, had his men craft scarecrows, put them on a boat, send it out on a line, leave it there for half an hour, then pull it back in and used the arrows the enemy had fired at the boat to restock their own ammunition. It only worked because it was foggy and the enemy couldn't tell the difference between the scarecrows and actual soldiers.

Stupid things like that work INCREDIBLY WELL if the circumstances favor them, so you really don't need to come up with some multi-layered, Shikamaru-esque strategy. You just need to come up with a strategy you like for the characters involved, then write the circumstances (weather, environment, individuals involved) to favor it enough that it works.

!!Daily reminder!!

Trans men are NOT your enemy

Trans women are NOT your enemy

Non-binary people are NOT your enemy

Intersex people are NOT your enemy

People who use xenogenders are NOT your enemy

People who use neopronouns are NOT your enemy

People who use microlabels are NOT your enemy

Gender-non-conforming people are NOT your enemy

And if you think that a specific group of trans people or gnc people or any"the enemy", you're just wrong. No group of trans people is the reason for the hate cast towards us, and saying so is transphobic.

It is not trans people's fault for transphobia.

being on the internet for more than three minutes

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

I love how Pearl kind of just goes along with anything and it's so hard to actually annoy her because she just accepts everything happening to her.

Randomly getting teleported over 100k blocks away? Okay guess I'll just build a lovely little cottage! 😊

Oh it's happening again? This is a fun challenge! What a cool experience! 😁

And meanwhile Impulse is also going through the same thing and he is panicked and worrying that if he dies he'll lose everything and he's desperately trying to get back home. Like this was so anxiety inducing for Impulse and Pearl was just vibeing the entire time. She knew that they'd teleport her back eventually so she might as well enjoy her little journey

Bad influence

[biglawbear]

Wait a minute if Kansas is automatically revoking people's drivers licenses if they changed their gender marker... And they're cancelling people's licenses if they never changed their gender or they just changed their name... And you need a driver's license to vote... And Trump is using the DOJ to try and steal states' voter rolls... And Trump is planning on issuing an executive order federalizing control of elections before the midterms to require certain forms of ID to vote... Hold on, I've almost got it...
