My former best friend was “fiscally conservative”. What that actually meant was that he hated poor people and wanted cuts & heavier restrictions on government programs for them.
He was raised on food stamps his whole life, but oh well.

I hate to say it, but I think that folks have taken advantage of “be patient of folks with trauma/mental illness/etc.” and turned it into “you HAVE to put up with me or else you’re an asshole who is insensitive to those with struggles.” And nobody wants to be “the guy who wasn’t supportive enough”.
It’s okay to break up with someone if you are too overwhelmed by their needs, regardless of their trauma/mental illness. Staying will make both people absolutely miserable in the long run.

“Spring Cleaning” felt like a turning point to me, in a good way! I feel so fresh, so clean!
“Kid’s Book” was absolutely my favorite.
Tracing shapes & cutting them out.
It’s like 20% sewing, the other 80% being planning, geometry, resource management, tracing, and cutting.
And I often discover that I’m still bad at math! Pain. 🫠
If your club has a secret code that I’m already supposed to know, I don’t want to be a member.
I hate this timeline more and more.

Thanks! I miss the feel of old image boards and niche forums.
In this case, I think highlighting the absolute goofiness of this entire thread fits well into the theme.
Thanks, I will! (:
My guy: it’s literally the first line of your linked post.
“My posts keep getting deleted!”
— user looks into public info to find out why your posts might be being deleted —
“Shut up, r×ddit defender!!!”
If you really want to know, I’ve seen a lot of people just delete their old posts for privacy reasons. Trying to keep that internet footprint out of sight.
I think it’s all about how it’s said. The simpler, the better. Phrasing is important, too.
Hey OP. Please look up the “Stonewall riots”.
Directly fighting against the forces that are making & enforcing laws that can & will do harm is the right thing to do. If the people in power / enforcing unfair practices see they are unopposed, they will become stronger in their positions. Complacency allows imbalance.
Will I break windows for Gaza? No. I will not. Who will that help? Who am I fighting? That kind of thing is nonsense.
Will I fight police that are attacking students for protesting? YES. YES I WILL. Because if you fight back, they will understand that you will not allow yourself to be walked all over by unjust enforcement. They will think twice about attacking students next time, because they know people are willing to fight back. If they do not encounter opposition, they know they are safe to do whatever they want.
In short: once a bully realizes that you will hit back, they are less inclined to bully you. Even more so if you are backed up by more people who also hate the bully.
EDIT: To be fair, I don’t hope for “collapse”. However, I do understand why people do. The corrupt system goes so deep that collapse may be the only way to dismantle it, as it is beyond any kind of reform.
Do I want collapse? No. But, unfortunately, it may be necessary. The system cannot be fixed without being dismantled, and I’m not optimistic that we will experience a miracle.
Christ…
Were people hurt?? Ffs America
Wait
What’s going on…?
God, I wish that were me…
Y’all are grown folk arguing if it’s ethical to fuck high school students.
I got nothing to say to that.
Nah, man, he smokes weed, so he’s “socially liberal”!
He’s also the child of a Mexican immigrant & an indigenous mother. His grandparents literally jumped a fence and came to the US illegally.
…he’s a staunch supporter of Tr×mp.
Idk, man. Idk.
