“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

[evenlesssentimentaltranslator]

”What if poor people something something the system?”

If you spent the first half of 2026 in survival mode, may the second half be spent in revival mode. It’s time to heal.

“My racist phase” your racist phase traumatized me. Your racist phase made me insecure about my skin and hair and nose. Your racist phase made me terrified of white people. Your racist phase was just a phase for you but it traumatized so many black kids. And yet you act like a victim. No amount of ‘I didn’t know’ will change that you fucking hurt people.

My confession is that I'm tired of the toxic positivity-style responses I get when I say I'm single and not ever going to date. You'd think other lesbians as a community would understand how impossible it is to find a woman you actually connect with, with how incredibly tiny our dating pool is (and even tinier if you consider gender critical lesbians). But instead of understanding, the responses I'm always met with are "Just keep looking, she's out there!" or "You'll find her one day!" It's just dismissive and annoying. It feels like even as a lesbian I'm still expected to find a partner and settle down, and that I'm lesser than coupled women.

i do think it’s a surface-level “aw don’t lose hope” kinda thing. i think it is well-intentioned. however the depth of the well of lesbian loneliness is bottomless. even if you make peace with wanting to be single its very human to crave some kind of community. we are social animals.

i personally do really want to (hopefully) settle down with a woman. i’d like to get married and build a life. but i know romantic relationships shouldn’t be treated like the end-all-be-all for women. the relationship thing is second to living my life. you aren’t lesser for not being coupled and no one should treat you otherwise.

the ability for a woman is to be unmarried and still independent is awesome and wasn’t always something women were even allowed to do. live your life for you

“woman doesn’t have a set definition” is a very privileged take. you are able to happily sit in a position where you get to act like woman has such a vague definition and you act like this should be accepted worldwide. but ask a woman in a third world country what it means to be a woman and what makes them a woman, and it’ll be pretty fucking obvious. women are oppressed because of their sex and have been for centuries. i’m not letting some males with hurt feelings overrule that because they can’t piss in the woman’s bathroom.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.

I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'

[hunter-rodrigez]

Like... come on man, 310 pages isn't even what I would've considered a particularly long book as a kid.

[now-for-wrath-now-for-ruin]

......I read LOTR as a 9 or 10 yo dyslexic child. It took me a week or two of non-stop reading to finish each book but I was so obsessed with them because of the films I just powered through. And I learned to read very late, like only couple of years prior reading LOTR. It's wild to me that someone could think it's unheard of for kids to read Hobbit.

[hungrynikita]

“You read a 310 page book as a child?” Yes, and then I devoted my full attention to annoying my dad until he caved in and took me to the library to get more by the same author. Repeatedly. This isn’t a humble brag, it is EXTREMELY common even in the current screen era for kids to read books of this length.

When adults act astonished at the idea of children reading it comes across as a defense mechanism. Don’t come on an English-speaking website and act like you’ve never heard of the Harry Potter franchise. You know perfectly well that kids who want to read will read, and the same is true for adults. You didn’t and don’t want to read, which is your choice! But nobody needs to pretend this an issue of children’s capacity to read rather than your own personal choice to deprioritize it.

REDEMPTION ARC

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

so the synopsis of The Ring is: you will die 7 days after watching this videotape. my question is does that apply to rewatching the tape. let's say I watch the tape, wait 6 days, and watch it again. does the timer reset to 7 days? can I do this indefinitely? can I become functionally immortal by watching the evil videotape on a weekly basis?

[shy-magpie]

I require the film where someone decides this means they are functionally immortal for 6 days after watching the tape so seeks it out before going on a series of utterly batshit suicide missions. The tape keeps trying to do creepy crap around them and they're just like "I have 3 days 12 hours left to do this prison break so you're not even on my top 10 concerns, either distract this guard for me or go do something about that hair while you're waiting"

The ghost is so baffled and has no idea how to explain that's not how any of this works that it does save them a couple times while trying to get this across, thus convincing them the theory has been validated

[nightmareofhands-deactivated202]

just heard someone use the phrase “sex workers from ancient rome” you mean female sex slaves those women were probably born into lower classes and forced to become slaves to males, the glorification of the horrific things females have had done to them does still shock me everytime.
