That has nothing to do with what I'm talking about and you know it.

Be sure to hang onto your bags of new socks and underwear, if you accidentally dropped those someone might get ahold of them and feel human comfort and hygiene and we wouldn't want THAT getting out into the population.

My parents were addicts and mentally unhealthy and did the best they could under those conditions, which was at least enough keep me alive long enough for me to meet my partner whom I've been with for 25 years and she always takes care of me when I'm sick and gives me love without condition.

They hated her, tried to break us up, tried to sabotage our relationship because I preferred to be with her. My family placed bets that we would be divorced in three years because we met young.

I'm the last one standing. I won. It just sucks that everyone couldn't be kind to each other and take care of themselves and those around them.

I still remember being 8 years old, sick as fuck, fetal position on the floor, having just thrown up all over the floor. Sobbing and in pain.

My father smashing things and shouting how he has to clean up my mess. Just on and on, ranting and yelling and leaving me there when he was done.

I wish it was the only time my father was an asshole. I also wish it was my earliest memory of such incidents. My very first clear memory of anything at all was my dad pushing my face in the dirt because I said I didn't want to go with him somewhere. I was three. I still taste the grit in my mouth, it was the first time I got dirt in my mouth that I could remember. It remains vivid and clear 4 and a half decades later.

I started hiding it when I was sick. I would go outside and throw up and bury it as young as ten. I became non-verbal for a time.

Parents out there: Your kids never forget. That one time that you have a "bad day" and snap? They remember it. That time they did something stupid because they're small and you had clean up another mess? They already feel bad, and they will never forget how you treated them when they're already in pain. You don't "deserve" anything from your kids, you brought them into the world without their consent and your obligation to at least, if nothing else, take care of them and reduce the trauma of existing.

Legal measures against pitbulls often are rooted in redline type bills to continue to create laws that punish particular races or ethnicities.

Pit Bulls were and are often used for underground dog fights, and thus became associated with gangs and inner-city crime. That's a ridiculously small portion of pit bull owners, but laws about pit bulls give one more tool for cops to over-police black and hispanic neighborhoods in particular.

I don't really have an opinion on pit bulls, I've owned dogs, wolves and many animals and I do believe different breeds have different personalities and genetic influences, it would be ridiculous to deny it because WE MADE THEM THIS WAY, so yes, pitties and german shepherds and many others can easily be raised wrong and come out dangerous compared to say, golden retrievers or other "gentle" breeds that are going to be a lot more passive even when raised wrong. These are preconditions, they are influences. But the problem is with lack of education about how to raise animals, puppy mills and overbreeding, poor training, and the handful of irresponsible and abusive owners who fuck up everything for the rest of us.

I hate it here.

edit: not sorry at all if reasonable and nuanced facts make you angry for some reason. That's a skill issue. Learn more. Go outside, meet people, make some friends. This is an oddly triggering issue to some people, you need to learn to breath and think. I don't care how sweet your dog is or if you got bit once, if you have deeply emotional opinions on this in either direction, congratulations, you're being manipulated.

I'd say that 4-channer needs to touch grass, but it probably has a restraining order at this point.

It's a sign of porn addiction.

When you see couples in terms of porn categories you need to get out a little more.

It really betrays a porn addiction when you compartmentalize people and couples by the races involved. It doesn't necessarily mean they're some kind of nazi (but it IS 4-chan so there's a strong chance) but there's a huge amount of racism in society that's just objectification and fetishization.

It's okay to appreciate particular races or features or particular aesthetics in a partner, it's not okay to get hung up on it or fixate on it or get lost in some kind of porn-fantasy for what kind of relationships you look for. It's weird how hard it is for people to find balance and nuance on this topic.

Being emotionally balanced and secure about something at all in your life goes a long way to building a character that other people want to be around.

If these terms are meaningless to you and you don't get it, you're not ready for dating.

I will genuinely be surprised if he survives his entire term, much less make it to their planned third-term.

The problem is that the eyeliner-clad, couchfucker-in-chief isn't going to make things much better. At least he doesn't have the cult of personality behind him, and he may fail a lot, but he's also the bigger puppet more easily pushed around by Wormtongue Musk.

I don't know why you're getting pushback and downvotes on this, it's factual.

Have we ALSO lost track of facts people? Are we the same as the ones who made this all go to shit, unable to separate facts from feelings? USA isn't just "a superpower" it's THE superpower, it's the wealthiest nation on earth with a military force larger and more advanced than all other nations put together. What do you call that?

THIS is why it's such a huge deal that we all fucking let the dumbest, evilest people in the world take the controls. Are you really just so nihilistic and self-obsessed that you're willing to discard the largest and most powerful democracy on earth because you feel jaded and cynical because "America bad?"

Dude, clean your room. Seriously, this is our home, this is where we live. LETS FIX IT.

I am also in the US and horribly disappointed in how our population let the world's stupidest and vilest people manipulate them into giving over control. I really had high hopes for America, democracies are really our best hope for the future.

But now I just want it to accelerate, we need the shit to really hit the fan so our population wakes up and realizes who the real enemies are, the putins and musks and trumps and millers and bannons... they are the beasts that stalk us in the modern age and need to be put down or taken away and the only way this will happen is enough people become uncomfortable enough that they forget the narratives and storylines that manipulate us so easily.
