“They weren’t presidents” neither was Benjamin Franklin, who’s on the hundred dollar bill, and Alexander Hamilton who’s on the ten dollar bill. Get out of here with your misogyny.

Men are so scared of change.

As well they should be, because it’s going to be EXTREMELY unpleasant for them.

Pretty much why Brutal Honesty doesn’t have many friends. And There are times we have to let go of certain people, not because we don’t care, but because they don’t.

DEFINITELY REBLOG

I’ve gone through so many many moments in my life with people just like this and I know exactly what this feels like.

There comes a time when you need to let go - I’ve dealt with people that I’ve invested so much time and effort trying to help them build a sense of motivation and simply want to go somewhere in life, but nothing. I’ve had to call them out and basically distance myself from them because their funk was doing nothing but bringing myself and others down. Maybe my ideas were just never working, maybe this was the real them all along and I never got that…

All I know is what this comic says: that people can only truly help themselves. Even the most empathetic person in the world can’t help someone if they simply don’t want to be helped. They’re unhappy, they clearly need help, but there is no improvement from them at all. They’re still just this bitter person, who is upset and angry. What’s worse is when they start snapping at you and blaming you for their problems because all your ideas maybe weren’t working. There comes a point to help, and a point to back away and let them live how they choose, good or bad.

It’s wrong to bring yourself down like that because you’ve done everything you could to help them and they still haven’t changed. There comes point where you’ve run out of advice or things to say. You have a life to live - it’s fine to want to be a good friend, but there comes a point where you’re investing too much time into their story and you’re letting it get to you down. Recognize that and back away.

It’s not pretty, and I only resort to Brutal Honesty when I have too, but it’s essential, especially with people who lack motivation. Some people need a strong talking-to to get them to wake the hell up, and even then it’s not enough some times.

The point is, remember that you have a life to live. You can’t shoulder someone else’s problems or live their own life form them. It’s fine to want to help someone, but sometimes the best solution, for your sake and theirs, is to just let them go. It’s not pretty, but it’s sometimes the only you really can do.

My real problem with the Catholic Church is that it isn’t cyberpunk enough.

There’s a vicious double standard. If you’re an untrained civilian, and you’re approached menacingly by an armed police officer, and you fear for your safety, you’re supposed to remain completely under control, not do anything to make the officer nervous, and not overreact. Especially if said civilian is a black teenager, whose history of treatment by police officers is NOT GOOD, to say the least.

But if you’re a trained, armed police officer, and you fear for your safety, you have license to overreact and shoot anything that moves.

How is it that we expect higher standards of untrained civilians than we do of trained, armed police officers?

(Hint: it may have something to do with racism.)

When i was like 13 was allowed to use the internet unrestricted for the first time and i spent a lot of time on Runescape. One of the people i talked to on there was this person who had much higher levels than me in every skill and had, to my perception, a seemingly overflowing amount of game resources. One day i was taking about wishing i could get gold ore to level my smithing and not having access to any and they like “here, you can have this gold that i have” and just gave me this big stack and i was like “i don’t even have anything to offer back”. They told me they didn’t need anything and just wanted to be nice. I said that they didn’t have to and what they told me honestly has stuck with me since, they said “life’s too short to spend it being mean to people” and like it’s such a simple thing to say but combined with their actions and the weight they bore to me at the time was hugely influential on my outlook on life and the way i treat others. I don’t know who that person is but they changed my life that day and I’m so thankful to them.

I wanted to step out of your shadow. You understand that, don’t you? But when I stepped out of it there was… there was no sunlight. No sunlight at all.

Hmm… That’s a big gun.

Not 100% convinced it’s a 230 point gun, but it’s big.

I want Steve Rogers, Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, Clint Barton, and Kate Bishop to be in a movie together where it’s just a series of superheroes answering to the wrong call sign. “Captain!” “[Steve’s voice] Yes?” “No, the other one. (Muffled by explosion) Marvel.” “[Kamala’s voice] Yes?” “No! Not you! The captain!” “[Steve’s voice] WHAT?!” “NO! NOT YOU! Fine, Hawkeye then!” “[two voices] What?” “DAMMIT! COME ON!”
