  • Not solely. Kids shouldn’t have such an unhealthy image and mindset pushed by the array of social media influencers out there. It’s always easier to blame the parents, and they certainly have some responsibility here and shouldn’t be absolved; but it’s a symptom of a much deeper problem in our society that lets this happen.

    Kids will get things from other kids to do/try behind their parents back, tale as old as time. We need to fight against the portrayal of beauty standards being equated to the value of a woman.

    After we do that, then it’s solely on the parents. But not until then.


  • This is unfortunately, by design.

    It’s a bad design, but it is working as intended by the people who fought against establishing a true democracy in the US originally.

    The electoral system and gerrymandering make it so a two party solution is the only real system that works; and one of those parties will always be moving away from the other, while the other has to move closer to the middle every time to “recapture” the voters who also shifted further from center.

    It’s a bad system, and it needs an overhaul/update desperately. Other countries that have established democratic systems of government since the US was established (and is technically, on record, the “oldest” democracy. If you squint.) have superior constitutions and systems of government that ensure free and fair electoral practices where candidates don’t have to appeal to moderates because even edge case parties are still represented in their house of representatives.




  • It’s pretty close to the most shorted stock in history, and none of its fundamentals are good. They’re straight up awful. Like, really, really, really bad.

    There is no reason the stock should be worth more than a few pennies. If that.

    Talking about it like it’s comparable to other stocks is completely ignoring literally every single data point in the market. Every. One.

    So, you’re either completely ignorant of how the stock market works, and shouldn’t be listened to; or you’re aware of all of this and trying to create some sense of normalcy for the bullshit that is DJT, in which case you also shouldn’t be listened to.

    It doesn’t really matter which one it is, honestly. The result is the same. You’re not to be listened to :)
