as much as i hate musk, him smoking a blunt was one of the few good things he’s done.

no. and tor was originally funded by the navy…
….

they’re worse on lemmy

died under mysterious circumstances… also i killed him

me too, i like the way women smell…

it wasn’t liberals warning them

a tangential point to go over, but cases of violence compared to victims is different… as in the us, with guns, one case of violence would have a lot more victims that a stabbing…
so it would be better to compare incidents of violence involving a deadly weapon, especially more indiscriminate mass attacks instead of just fights… and then adjust for population….
still probably not comparable but a lot closer….
and, i suspect, the bullying is a lot less over there and the school staff is a lot more involved in stopping it…. but that’s just a guess.

i agree… i just don’t think that’s an inherent thing in women and it’s a symptom of a sick society…

oh yes… i was bullied a lot, until i was lucky enough to grow taller than most of them….
i feel really bad for smaller kids who never got to stand up to their bullies….
if you want to be really horrified, read up on Kelaia Turner.
i was thinking lately, that might be why there’s so much school shootings (i hear the uk has a lot of school stabbings)….
but if a particularly mentally ill kid is ganged up on and terrified constantly by a large majority of the school, it seems more likely that they’ll do some extremely antisocial behavior… especially if teachers allow it and even join in a little bit.

if men display feelings, they’re seen as bitches by men, and weak by women (exceptions exist, but generally speaking).

basically, a piece of toxic masculinity….
men are only allowed to display emotions of anger or mild happiness.
i think this is a big reason why sports are so popular… it’s more about camaraderie than anything else.
also why they like to get drunk and say “i love you man” and all that mushy stuff.

in a nutshell: because they’re taught to be that way.

in middle school, a girl in my grade died at summer band camp from a bee sting….
a group of girls called me to tell me she wanted to be her boyfriend. i declined, as it wasn’t the first time i had the joke girlfriend trick played on me…
but i guess the prank was, i was supposed to say yes, then be heartbroken when i found out she was dead…
instead i was heartbroken that anyone would try to do that to anyone.

i feel you… but by subconsciously i mean, if you’re somewhere and half the people have leather shoes, yours will seem normal. if everyone around doesn’t, then it’ll feel differently… mostly subconsciously….
it’s sorta like a vote saying “leather is normal”….
