Shipping fans of That One Ship that ends up becoming canon but were complete assholes to everyone else the whole time are honestly the worst kind. Their ship becoming canon only emboldens them to bully people who didn’t like their ship and harass them endlessly and really, you’re bullying people over two fictional characters. How fucking pathetic do you have to be?
Celt don’t hide those tags, they need to be confronted.
i feel like counter-trolling is an essential skill that kids online aren’t learning and it’s kinda worrying
like back in my day, the day of online forums, learning how to trick someone in to getting themselves banned was an essential skill. if you could tell someone was a chud, you would ask them short, leading questions and watch them get frustrated and post longer and longer rants until they said something that would catch a mod’s attention and get them banned and/or at least publicly humiliated.
and guess what? that’s the exact same tactics the alt-right use now. these people are exclusively acting in bad faith. every interaction these people post online is done with the intention of getting someone to respond to them so they can screenshot the massive paragraphs of text and laugh
so, what’s the solution?
dare ‘em to post dick pics.
don’t acknowledge the content of the stuff they post. if you see someone trying to engage you in bad faith just dare them to post pictures of their penis until they either get frustrated and leave or get frustrated and do it. either way they lose.
this is the tactic used by the fans of a podcast (that i haven’t listened to) called the Chapo Trap House, and 4chan’s /pol/ users fucking HATE them. they hate Chapo Trap House and think they’re crazy because Chapo Trap House fans refuse to engage in meaningful debate and repeatedly demand dick pics. they get frustrated and leave. it works.
First village, the party (An elf, Dwarf, a halfling and a human) walk into the bar. The dwarf wants to flirt with the Dragonborn.
DM: Okay, what do you say?
Dwarf: I flirt.
DM: Okay… But what do you say?
Dwarf: I flirt.
DM: *Deep sigh.* Okay. Your 4'6 Dwarf walks up to the bar, cranes his neck up to look at the 7'3 Dragonborn bartender and says, “I flirt.” Roll Charisma.
if u ever wonder how europeans can rely on trains so much to travel thru entire countries
this is why
(312km/h is about 194mph)
? Yea is this not the same everywhere??
doesnt seem to be
Also, most areas in America don’t even HAVE passenger rail anymore
The automotive industry purposely tried to kill off trains here in America
Public transit in general if we’re being honest.
As an europeean, what the fuck america?
if you ever see something weird about america chances are it’s because some powerful industry decided to kill something that would have worked towards the public good for profit
EU trains have to go like 10 blocks to get across a country. America is big, yo.
that and greyhound and things adapted. private and public companies use interstates and the like for efficient travel. @technicolorrelays
also the UK freaks out about kives and free speech, people in america freak out about high speed trains… and also free speech if it hurts their feelings.
it’s weird.
Can we just accept that countries are different and we are all a bunch of freaks? Thanks.
I mean, we literally have research that says this. With TV it works because shows are DESIGNED to have segues/scenes where advertising can go, so we perceive it as less disruptive. You can’t just drop advertising in any old where. Shockingly, people fucking HATE that.
Okay, so now ask yourself: Does YouTube believe this, and actively use it to try and betray certain advertisement buyers whose products or services YouTube wants to fail?
For some reason, people on this Hellsite ™ think that there is no middle ground between treating a teenager as an adult who has to financially support themselves and treating them like a literal child who has no responsibility for themselves or their actions.
Teenagers (and adults who excuse this mess) say dumbass shit and when they get called out on saying or doing dumbass shit, go to “I’m just a minor!11!! leave me alone!!”
Yet when adults don’t take them seriously complain about how they aren’t being listened or heard.
But then bounce back into “I’m just a minor” whenever it is convenient for them. I mean, hell, I did the same shit when I was a teenager until I grew out of it lmao. Hell, a love of us probably did that at some point.
Like yeah, as a teen you shouldn’t be expected to support yourself financially and completely live on your own and be self-sufficient but you should be expected to take responsibility for the shit that you do because “I’m just a minor!11!!” isn’t an excuse.
Shoplift? People should rightfully call you out on that shit.
Say or do some dumbass shit? People should call you out on it.
Break the law? People outta call you out on it.
It’s called taking responsibility, something that teenagers should be expected to be able to do and manage. Sure it isn’t being self-sufficient and paying your own rent and mortgage and crap but it’s being responsible.
You aren’t a toddler who accidentally pees themselves because they aren’t fully potty trained yet.
You should be responsible enough to not steal, to not lie, bully, stalk, harass people, etc. telling people to go die, etc. You should be responsible enough to behave like a decent fucking human because that costs absolutely nothing to do.
This child is NOT trans. He doesn’t meet ANY of the requirements to diagnose a child with dysphoria. Not a god damn single one! And yet, in only a short time, he may be FORCED to undergo chemical castration (which can be FORCED ON HIM at the age of 8). When given the CHOICE, he overwhelmingly choosing boys clothes, games, friends, and his BIRTH name, JAMES. His mother, however, ONLY gives him girls clothes, games, and requires him and everyone else to call him Luna.
I support trans people. Hell, even kids should be allowed to experiment with their gender identity. But this is not him CHOOSING to experiment as “Luna”. This is a little boy with a far left mother who wants to make the choice FOR HIM, regardless of what HE wants.
This boy may be forced to undergo a seriously invasive, IRREVERSIBLE, medical procedure because his ideologue mother and a quack “doctor” who even admits he doesn’t meet the criteria (BUT IS STILL SUPPORTING HIS TRANSITION) want him to.
LET.
BOYS.
BE.
BOYS.
Please support his dad in his efforts to get his son back before he is forced to go through with this procedure.
Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.
i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol
I don’t think I’d realised how many casual compliments we pay to our toddler until she started casually complimenting us back, because experience has taught her that’s How Social Interaction Is Done, and there’s nothing quite like a very earnest three-year-old solemnly and sincerely informing you that you look wonderful and smell nice to make you feel really good about yourself
I tell her she’s my best girl. She tells me I’m her best auntie. Then we both feel good about the world!
I love when my toddler asks me to help her with her toy or something and she is all “good job, mama! Great work!” And encouraging because that’s what you do!
