Maybe I’m just projecting here (I almost definitely am) but if you grow up pushing your peers away as a defence mechanism, it becomes very easy to keep doing that as an adult, especially if you didn’t realize that you were doing it to begin with.

Its a hard path once you’ve realized this and want to improve it about yourself, but its a very rewarding path to take. I wish you luck on this new journey that you’re undertaking!

Its a reference to a viral post from reddit

That too! I honestly enjoyed all 6 of the Curious George movies! The Molly from Denali movie was pretty cool too (at one point the mom who flies a small plane professionally has to explain that she isn’t qualified to fly the helicopter into the blizzard to save a friend who’s trapped on the mountain!)

Oh yeah I’ve put some mice out of their misery after getting mortally maimed by my cats.

But I’m thankful that the worst police encounter I’ve had was some idiot officer investigating my house because I have playground equipment in my yard and they found a nonverbal toddler unaccompanied across town (smallish town) so therefore I must be connected in some way because I’m clearly a parent? Idk what their thought process was but when the town’s elementary school has about 300 students (I did a rough count at the last event they ran out of curiosity), spending an hour investigating the first parent you see seems like a very inefficient use of police resources

Does ACAB include former-detective Monk and Shawn Spencer?

Seriously if anyone has kids, have them watch some of the shows on PBS Kids. Most are far less annoying than the slop Disney’s been producing for the 2-6 age group, and all are far more educational.

Like, Daniel tiger is annoying but at least teaches good stuff (I’ve literally referenced it while teaching my kids something to help reinforce), but there’s some really good shows on there like Molly from Denali, Alma’s Way, Hero Elementary, Wild Krats, and Carl the Collector. Better paced, better animation and a million times better writing, plus they all happen to be shows from different human perspectives than just a random talking mouse or talking dog teaching a corporate-approved malaise

The entire show is written so lazily it’s just another form of slop. I have a paw patrol book we got at a garage sale where one windmill at a windmill farm stops spinning because one of the blades broke causing a power outage, so they use a surf board as a replacement blade and the day is saved. Literally not how any of this works and they could’ve spent 5 minutes researching windmills and made an actually educational story but instead they went for slop.

Y’know how they could’ve written it to be more educational? Maybe one of the windmills had a motor issue and the power flickered due to the frequency being off, so they first go to the substation and switch off the power flow from the wind farm to just pull in from other sources, then they repair the windmill motor then restore the connection from the wind farm. Its still lazy, it doesn’t teach much but it at least doesn’t teach kids that if they see a stopped windmill to panic that there will be a power outage.

There’s also literally an episode where the paw patrol gang influences an election. The villain was set to win the local election so the paw patrol gang goes into an advertising blitz to drown out the bad guy’s underdog (hehe) campaign but it’s all okay because the Right Person won the election! I saw this one while my kids were spending time with their trump voting grandparents

Every time my daughter asks for Paw Patrol I say “nope we’re not watching copaganda” and I look forward to whenever she repeats that to people. When the kids are older I’ll probably explain to them about slop vs quality shows. Like, I’ve learned things from the kids watching Curious George, like what should and shouldn’t go into compost bin or to just use a pair of pliers when driving a nail so you don’t risk hitting your fingers. I want my kids watching shows that actually help them understand the real world, not just slop that’s made to mesmerize them with pretty colors and catchy lines then turns around to sell them a line of merch

Idk you should see how they treat any mice they get their paws on…

Funny thing is, big tiddy goth girlfriends sometimes turn into big titty wives who make your wardrobe look dark and colorless in comparison! I should know I married one!

I saw one a while ago with a thin poorly painted beige line for landlords and I have not been able to find it since

Anywhere that isn’t a relatively large city. Source: I live in a uber-less area. I tried once to use uber here. It threw an error that read more like it didn’t have a dedicated error for “you live in a farming community what did you expect to happen?”

The thing with lawnmowers is most commonly it’s either they reached in to clear a blockage or it’s a ride on lawnmower that rolled. Seriously rolling a lawnmower is super deasly (same goes for ATVs)

I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”

Some of this definitely comes from stigma, it’s relatively normal for women to have sex toys, regardless of relationship status, but it’s seen as sad and loser/gooner behavior if a man has sex toys. Add in inconvenience of penetrative sex toys really only being effective for prostate play for men (whereas women can use penetrative sex toys both to simulate vanilla PIV sex and for any amount of increasingly kinky fantasies) and you have the perfect recipe for horny men curious about ringing that male G-spot using whatever seems relatively safe and appropriately sized

If girls had buttholes they’d also fart so definitely fake news!

Considering how overwhelmingly male every biker group I’ve seen is I’d say it’s more that

Depends, were you drinking it from a shoe?

When I cleaned mine out recently it was very clearly dust and skin cells in there, meaning just the crap the builds up on and around anything by existing

I became friends with a guy I met through some friends and he ended up being a pedophile and interested in kids my kids age. Immediately dropped him when I learned

Ohhh is that how you do sounding?

Honestly the Punk Goes Pop albums have taught me that some of her songs translate super well to heavier styles

Blank Space - I Prevail

I Knew You Were Trouble - We Came As Romans

You Belong With Me - For All Those Sleeping

I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Ice Nine Kills

Also honerable mention, Ice Nine Kill’s cover of Animals by Maroon 5 is brilliant and also does a good job of making fun of how weird the original music video is
