Save The World, Baby

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

[fuglyjeans]

Have you heard about Bluetooth it's legal now

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Yeah ofc lemme just pair my bluetooth headphones to my gameboy advance and my goddamn casette player why didn't I think of that

[ar-gemlad]

Oh, you can borrow my Bluetooth headphones. Yeah, just turn them on then um, hold it in the up position whilst pressing the volume button? I think. No, you have to turn them off and try again; they've connected to my phone. Oh, maybe if I turn Bluetooth off on my phone and you turn the headphones on again. That should put them in pairing mode. Then you need to use your Bluetooth menu and select NEOGN357BEBCJ499SNFJ. Yeah, that's the name of the device. Just remember to unpair them again when you're done. No, I don't know how to do that; you should know - it's your phone.

[ar-gemlad]

Oh, sorry. I forgot to charge them.

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

Just saw an interview with an MN healthcare worker that ICE agents are taking detainees who are badly injured (one had a fractured skull) and leaving them without clothes in the woods to die

[an-fadhb]

there is a list circulating locally of the various parks throughout the metro area where severely injured abductees have been unceremoniously dumped with no warm clothing in subzero temperatures.

they're also claiming that one abductee currently in the ICU "deliberately ran head-first into a brick wall." this, after one agent told a healthcare worker that the abductee "got his shit rocked."

DO NOT LOOK AWAY.

While obviously horrific, this isn't new, unique to ICE or the US.

Abolishing ICE is only the first step. It's cops and the entire carceral system next, because this is all of them.

Literally always take headphones with you. If you decide that you probably won't need them today, that's the devil talking. You will. You will

The duality of reviews on wake up dead man

[a-little-bit-oddish]

despite the fact that jud's form and view of christianity is a very pleasant one, i appreciate that no part of benoit blanc is converted. it's not like i expected benoit to become a christian obviously, but i expected him to potentially stay for a service at the end, when invited. or to show appreciation for what jud is building at his church. even just appreciation that he's welcome.

after the whole movie, when benoit is given the invite, he still says there's nothing he wants less than to stay in that church. it's very, very reasonable and realistic of a traumatized atheist, but i almost never see it depicted in this way. usually they come around to "see the beauty" in one way or another. i just really appreciate that they didn't do that.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery dir. Rian Johnson

[json-derulo]

Merry Christmas to all the families whose spitefully convoluted holiday parenting time schedules I had to help draft as part of divorce settlements back when I was a legal assistant. May your McDonald’s parking lot child handoffs—four of them total in the space of 24 hours, because just alternating who gets Caidynn and Brantleigh for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day every year would’ve meant giving an inch to your heinous bitch of an ex—be merry and bright

[json-derulo]

This cuffing season I am begging you all, if you remember nothing else I ever tell you, remember this: Do not get married without a prenup. Especially if there’s even an inkling of a possibility that you might have kids.

“But I’m worried my betrothed will get mad if I ask for one!” If even a hypothetical discussion of how the two of you would handle splitting up makes your would-be spouse get angry with you, imagine how maturely they’d handle an actual divorce! Don’t marry that person. Don’t have children with that person. Don’t share finances with that person. Don’t even adopt a pet with that person.

“But bringing all that paperwork into a relationship isn’t sexy or romantic!” Hard disagree + marriage isn’t always gonna be sexy or romantic either + you’re already bringing paperwork into your relationship by getting a marriage license. You can stay together and keep sexily filing your very romantic income taxes single.

“But prenups are only for rich people! I can’t afford that!” The median U.S. wedding cost in 2024 was $13,195. Approach a normal, run-of-the-mill family law attorney in your area at least sort of in agreement already about how you’d handle splitting up assets/debts/children/spousal support/etc and you should be able to get a prenup for under $1000. Either factor it into your wedding budget or start saving up for a divorce, because hooooooo boy, you don’t even wanna know how much pricier that is! (Fun fact: Even before everyone hires their own lawyers and things get messy and drawn out, just *filing* for divorce costs a few hundred dollars in court fees!)

“But this is true love! Me and my spouse-to-be are soulmates! We have the same cutie mark! We’ll never get divorced!” Oh, sweet summer child.

[json-derulo]

"Well, some of us CAN'T get married because of [societal injustice]!" You're right, that sucks. I’m not talking about that though. "But it bums me out too much to think about my relationship ending!" Okay. Sounds like a great thing to seek support about and bond over with your betrothed. “So you're saying love isn't real?" No. But I am saying it's been 5 years since | last worked for a family law attorney and I can still feel the papercuts on my fingertips from folding and mailing out all the invoices on monthly bill day to people who once earnestly believed they were the exception

“Kids shouldn’t have to know about that.”

Okay so actually letting a serious topic be vague and confusing is much more scary for a child than explaining it in calm language they can understand.

[sandersstudies]

When you are in a safe place, explain the serious topic in a way the child can understand.

The fire alarm went off at school today because of a mistake, but your teachers did the right thing to take you outside to be sure it was safe.

Some people use wheelchairs because their legs don’t walk very well. It can happen because they are old and tired, or because they got hurt, or because they were born that way.

Your Uncle Jerod talked to mom and dad, and wants you to call her Aunt Kari now. We will call her Kari too, and we can all practice together if it takes some getting used to.

Anticipate age-appropriate fears the child might have so you can assuage those that are not a threat.

Yes, Kitty died at the vet, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not safe for Puppy to go to the vet.

Yes, Peyton and Jo are getting a divorce, but they are both still part of our family and love you very much.

Yes, Grandma has cancer, but cancer is not contagious, so you are not going to get cancer by visiting her.

Anticipate fears that are realistic, and give the child clear direction about what to do, and what happens next.

If someone asks you to get in their car without permission, find Mom, Mama, or a teacher and tell them right away. We will make sure you are safe.

If Sparky’s sickness makes him hurt very badly, we are going to take him to the vet and she will give him some medicine, and he will die, but then he won’t hurt any more. Because Sparky is very sick, we are going to spend some special time with him over the next few days.

If the fire alarm goes off at school again, follow the teacher’s directions. If the fire alarm goes off and you are somewhere alone, go outside, and ask a grownup to call 911.

Reassure the child that they’re safe and loved, validate their feelings, and see if they have follow-up questions. Give them the option to take space to process, or to stay near you to feel safe.

I’m sad about Sparky too. Do you think we could make his favorite peanut-butter treats, while we are spending special time with him?

I understand why Grandma’s cancer makes you feel angry. It doesn’t seem fair that people we love get sick. Would you like a hug?

You were worried about calling 911 if there’s not a grownup around. I wrote down some important things, like our address, and we can go over these together so you are ready if anything like that ever happens.

[sandersstudies]

These things are principally the job of the child’s parent or guardian, but in some cases directing the child to that caregiver is difficult or impossible (parent refuses/confuses the child, parent is absent, child’s questions are specific and relevant to a situation their parent was not present for, etc.) so I think all adults should be prepared to have these conversations with kids.
