It is a lot safer for women to assume a man is dangerous until proven otherwise. I don’t really see a comment that posits that only men are dangerous or bad, but stomp your feet and cross your arms when women tell you their lived experience, it’s a great look.

I’d probably have to help my mom accept herself, but she’s actually open minded when engaged in sincere conversation. I’d probably have to help her reconcile her faith with her sexuality, which won’t be too hard. She’s actually one of “the good ones,” when it comes to being very Christian but also the parent of a queer child. (Me)

My step-dad would be interesting. If he came out it would be a genuine shock given he is a bigot. While it might feel really good to point and laugh at him, and not care what happens after he comes out to his very conservative family, thinking on it I’d rather offer my support to him and maybe gain an ally. I could at the very least be out to him. I’m not currently because I don’t know how he’d take it and I live in his house.

My dad’s dead. If he was alive I wouldn’t be a part of his life. If someone told me he came out, I would say, “Neat!” Then move on with my day.

“Take responsibility for yourself.”

“Be accountable.”

“Learn to accept things you can’t control.”

“Self pity gets you nowhere.”

These are all nongendered ways of saying your mental health is your own responsibility. Or, simply repeat to yourself your own observation, “If I’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, I usually feel better.” You were already on the right track friend. Just realize gender has absolutely nothing to do with the concept and counter thoughts that tell you otherwise.

I mean, kids only really suck in a world where both parents have to work 40+ hours a week. You really don’t have to dedicate all your time to them, but in a world with less and less community to help raise them and more and more work to grind your energy down, you have to dedicate far too much of your limited free time to them. I would love to be able to raise a kid or two myself. I loved working with kids. We should not be throwing them into some nebulous “public system.”

This is so disingenuous because it completely ignores why a woman’s tech conference needs to exsist in the first place. I hope you’re not actually convinced that you care about equality and realize where the urge to argue against a woman’s tech conference being for women comes from.

McDonalds has crashed in quality since the pandemic. During the pandemic everyone was really competing for market share and improving their menus… Except McDonalds, and now that we’re out of the pandemic, everyone is pinching including McDonalds. I’d really rather go anywhere else except maybe BK.

Raised out of my funk for once and got back on antidepressants, my financial aid and scholarship applications done, and my project work for the week all done today. I honestly didn’t think I would get this done in a week, let alone in one day.

Delegative democracy. You have your own vote that you can use to directly vote on issues or you can delegate your vote to another person so how they vote is how you vote.

With the proper tech you could even set up some sort of tagging/category system so you can delegate to X person on issues in Y category.

Lol Steve you’re on the internet there’s gonna be some hentai

She just stopped talking to me after, a year. :/ I haven’t really bounced back from it.

If we had an energy system owned by the people and not ran for profits, nuclear would be a viable, and probably even the preferred, option. We do not. We’re probably going to have to fix that to get a practical and reliable clean energy grid.

As a movement/fandom/website gets bigger the more bad actors there will be within it. There’s also less consequences to ones reputation for being rude to others when a community gets larger because there are more people in the community you haven’t been rude to yet that you can still have positive interactions with.

I don’t think it’s something carried over specifically from reddit or its community but rather just what naturally happens (which also happened on reddit,) as communities get larger. They become more and more reflective of people at large, and right now people aren’t doing so hot.

Curry over rice because it tastes goodbuti is also well rounded.

Deflation discourages spending at all levels, because why spend right now when your cash will be worth more later? This kills any economy.
