Nick Robinson started a patreon and he already has 57 patrons so there’s never been a better time to remind the world about how much of a scummy softboy creep he is

[kiddosquiddo]

just a reminder to people who don’t know, not the Nick Robinson from Love, Simon. This Nick is a former game journalist and honestly that alone is enough to warn people

[nerdgasrnz]

No, that is not enough to warn people. Come on now. So here’s the full spheel:

He’s a former video game journalist and entertainer for Polygon. He used to do youtube videos with Griffin McElroy (ie: Car Boys) He was investigated and fired from polygon for sexual harassment, and was found to have solicited nudes from young girls (MINORS)

The reason OP mentions the “softboy” persona is because his personality is one that most of us aren’t used to from dudes who treat women like trash. He had/has a disarming sort of personality and humor which was part of his charm in his videos, and that’s what OP means. That’s the part that blindsided everyone when the news first came out about him being a repeat-offending creep.

This garbage only happened around a year ago, and I don’t know (nor do I care) if he’s learned his lesson in that time. Hence the warning post about him stepping back into an internet spotlight in a place like Patreon. Just remember that he has no respect for womens’ boundaries, and even less for teenage girls’.

[transkeiichi]

Further point of warning: his url here on tumblr is Babylonian and after he was fired from Polygon the tumblr sat vacant for a while but he’s recently started making posts again like nothing ever happened - and a lot of people are reblogging these posts because most A dont know who he is, they think hes just a popular blogger, because his twitter statement never made it to his tumblr. ironic huh?

Dont give him attention on patreon, go ahead and block him here.

The other day I watched a little boy get knocked to the ground by an older kid who was running by. He burst into tears as his mother hurried over.

“Here’s a bandaid for ya,” I said, producing one from my vest pocket.

“Oh, he’s not bleeding, thank you though!”

I lowered my voice and leaned in. “Kids think bandaids are health magic,” I said. “Ask him where it hurts and exploit that placebo effect.”

She did just that, and instantly the kid stopped crying and thanked her. “I’ll have to remember that,” she said.

Children: #HACKED

Also if you have a crying kid give them a cup of water. You can’t cry and drink at the same time and it gives them a chance to calm down.

Tell them their going to run out of tears so they drink the water.

My mom does this at her preschool after awhile the other children start offering the crying child little cups of water.

[maxanaxam]

Stuff like this is also a great test to see if the kid is actually seriously injured! Because with how much some kids cry over tiny bumps and scrapes, it can be hard to tell. But if you slap a Band-Aid on it or give them a cup of water or a piece of candy and they stop crying, they’re fine. If they keep crying despite whatever little placebo or distraction you’ve given them, you might wanna look a little closer at that injury or seek medical attention.

[raincloudsandsunbeams]

With my two’s class we ask them “more hurt or more scary?” It takes a bit of practice but after a few times they can answer without more prompting. More scary gets a hug and more hurt gets a look over.

[markingatlightspeed]

That last one is so important because it validates the child’s feelings and tells them it’s okay to have these feelings and lets them learn how to deal with them, rather than just distracting them from them. I also helps teach the child to both communicate their feelings more readily and communicate when they’re hurt more clearly. All really important skills for a child to develop young.

WHOOP THERE IT IS

[wetorturedsomefolks]

most exhausting thing about US politics these days is having to listen to smug lib takes about how, for example, peace negotiations with the taliban are Bad and Giving In To Terrorists and all real progressives should just be tacitly endorsing forever war. they expect us not to think past “well whatever the opposite of what trump is doing must be the correct thing” and then you have to spend half of any debate listening to kamala harris talk about how she’d be Tough On North Korea to own the conservatives or some fucking nonsense like that. like bro the only thing obama’s foreign policy accomplished that was actually kind of cool was walking down our pointless conflicts with iran and cuba…. 

like get an actual fucking diplomat or twelve in there for sure but the issue isn’t that trump wants to make some kind of peace deal, it’s just that he’s fucking stupid and thinks he can do that by tweeting and setting up two or three meetings and doing Deals magic

People trying to make reactionary ideologies “woke” doesn’t have to take the form of cheerleading woc drone operators. It can also take the form of wholly and fully accepting the colonialist and orientalist narratives that non-western people are inherently inclined to spirituality while westerners are inclined towards science and secularism and refusing to interrogate whether that’s even fucking true to begin

Okay, you ready? Are you really prepared for this? Okay. A warning, here it is, the ultimate trigger sculpture, kind of culinary sculpture, it has everything that Democrats hate. Steak, plastic straws, and light bulbs. And if I could have put an SUV on this I would have. Okay?

Don’t believe Malthusian eugenics propaganda about human population levels being out of control. The planet is not overpopulated, only over-exploited.

that feeling when you see someone wearing a jacket with a shit-ton of patches and you need to get closer so you can tell what type of punk they are

[lmages-remade]

counterpoint: girl scouts

[closet-keys]

Are you trying to tell me that girl scouts aren’t a type of punk?

[lmages-remade]

SHIT fuck you’re absolutely right

[esoteric-merit]

Actually, I totally have something to add to this. So walking home from work yesterday, I passed a girl scout and her big sis selling girl guide cookies, and I was like: Score! I just got kickback money, so for once I have money on hand, and they never come to my house! As I’m walking up, I hear the person at the door they’re currently at …let’s say he was berating the poor girl for being brown. So when he slams the door, the little one just turns to her sis and cheerfully says something like ‘That’s another one for the list. I think he’s at least a two!’ And I’m already behind her at this point with my $10 out for two boxes of thin mints, and she’s all like ‘ah thanks!’, and I ask “What’s this list …?” “My big sister is keeping a list here of racist fucks and she’s going to break their windows and stuff on halloween!”. Anyways, girl scouts are precious little angels.

[esoteric-merit]

Oh right, this. I checked around the dude’s house late halloween night. All his windows were broken.

AHHHHH IT’S ON MY DASH AGAIN AND NOW IT’S UPDATED????? BLESSED??????

[professionalreblogs-deactivated]

Omg! I used to do that with my scout group!!! There were only three other coloured girls in my group of 27 girls! And when we (the colours) were bullied there was like a mini army of small blonde girls in pigtails and ribbons in their hair ready to THROW DOWN!

When EMTs and film/tv production crew comment on twitter threads about Amazon warehouse working conditions like “I work 12 hour shifts too, suck it up” like…………guys. You shouldn’t be working 12 hour shifts either. As few people as possible should be working 12 hour shifts

[scienceshenanigans]

THIS. Medical professions ESPECIALLY.

[malus-syl-vestris-deactivated20]

Ok but I really, really don’t want to be treated by a medical professional who’s on the later end of a 12 hour shift?! Like that isn’t even just about worker’s rights, an exhausted EMT or nurse or surgeon is a lot more likely to mess up and get their patients killed, who the fuck thought shifts like that were a good idea

PewDiePie pulls $50,000 pledge to Jewish anti-hate group after fan backlash

1. pewdiepie gets called a nazi because his anti-semitic and racist jokes have attracted a following of mostly reactionaries

2. to prove the libs wrong and own them he decides to donate $50,000 to the ADL

3. recieves so much backlash from his now exclusively reactionary fanbase that he cancels the donation

i literally can't see a single reason why you would defend this guy anymore

[mikufigure]

he was also wearing an iron cross that's highly likely to be from a fascist clothing line

[dark-psychic-force]

This confirms his fans know precisely what’s up. Just block them on site at this point.

pedophiles / “map”s (mostly on twitter) have started using the pear emoji (🍐) to discreetly signal to other pedos that theyre one of them. here are some people who are open pedophiles using this signal:

however, most people using the pear are actually trying to be discreet, and won’t outright say they’re a pedo. if you see someone with a pear emoji in their name or bio, be wary.

please rb to spread the word if you can.

[peniswakt-deactivated20210717]

can we please just whack fourlung already

[jamesspaderspulloutmethod]

I’ve seen a couple people on here claiming that these users are “non-offenders” who shouldnt be outed/targeted because they “get theres something wrong with them” so id just like to point out that 4lung coined this pear practice as an acronym spelling out “Pro-Expression, Anti-Repression.” there are no innocent pedophiles.

So a friend of mine told me how yesterday his coworker died on the way to work due to speeding and crossed a red light (she was late for the third time, so I’m guessing she was trying to avoid a write up). As soon as she crossed the light she was hit on the drivers side by a semi. The messed up part is that in less than an hour her table was cleared for a new worker. In less than 4 hours they had sent out the news that they are hiring. By the end of the day the hiring manager had contacted 4 people for an interview. Moral of the story is, these jobs don’t care about your ass. They will replace you in a snap. Don’t risk or waste your life trying to go above and beyond for a job that could care less about your wellbeing.

[14kgoldsoul]

I always say this. The job stays and you Go.

[2glassesofchianti]

Bet your ass I reblog this.

[interestedinthosegirls]

2 of my bosses told me specifically that my job is just a job and that anyone could have it and the position can be replaced by any person, but that I myself, will never be replaceable and to never endanger myself just for this job. And I think that spoke volumes to me about speeding to get to work and about rushing through the dangerous parts of my job. This is the other side of the same conversation. But it’s worth hearing.

[burnitalldownism]

People who are old enough to remember ad free YouTube, FB, Twitter and Instagram believing that capitalism drives innovation are fucking hilarious.

Like, all of those platforms were still profitable...massively profitable before they had targeted ads on your feed and unskippable ads before videos. They didn’t need to bring them in. They weren’t going to go under, their CEOs weren’t living in the backseats of their cars, they were living in mansions already. They just wanted more money.

Greed was the only reason. Capitalism is the reason they made their platforms and the user experience worse. That’s it.

[phantoms-lair]

It the same with the companies saying video games need microtransactions to stay profitable. Because I remember they being plenty profitable for a couple of decades before microtransactions were a thing.
