That's the problem. You were told by friends who left you with questions you answered in unsafe ways, not by adults who could answer your questions in an age appropriate way.

Giving kids age-appropriate sex-ed is a good way to protect them against predators. Many victims don't even know something wrong has been done to them because people like you are too afraid to give them the barest guidance.

Lol, tell me you've never been on a farm without telling me.

Tradwife content is getting really big with genz, unfortunately. I'm not sure how much longer the girls will stay liberal at this rate. The Mormon church is heavily subsidizing LDS content creators through adsense and it's encouraging more and more of them to build a platform, and pushing their content far and wide. Once I started seeing the signs, there are so many Mormon influencers. They're winning the cultural victory rn and it's scary af as a progressive woman.

Funny you think the higher price tag gets us anything more. I spent 60k to get my degree, and graduated into a recession where I couldn't get a job flipping burgers. I've been on income-based payments for my student loans ever since and have never paid even the full amount of interest for one period because of my income. So now I owe 10k more than I graduated with, and km homeless and unemployed cause I'm overqualified for anything entry and don't have the experience for things that need a degree. Yay for the American dream.

Would if I could. My skills aren't in demand in other countries, and my health would be an issue for those with universal Healthcare. I'm stuck, and have made peace with the fact that I'll be a statistic of this administration. I'll do what I can to prevent others from suffering the same fate, but realistically, I have no avenue to save myself.

I spent a vast majority of my college years and mid 20s playing an MMO by the name of Puzzle Pirates. Honestly, if it had maintained a large enough player base for the content, I probably would've been addicted a lot longer. I've never come across another game quite like it and it's a shame mismanagement of the company and shitty decisions about the direction of the game led it to a slow death.

Bro, what? Some books take more than 5 years to write and you want their authors to only have authorship of it for 5 years? Wtf. I have published books that are a dozen years old and I'm in my mid-30s. This is an insane take.

For sure! I love the whole gadgetry aspect, especially how it bled into pop culture with things like Get Smart and Spy vs Spy.

I was actually born at the "end" of it. I generally am interested in US-Soviet relations and how the Cold War/Communism became a major factor in political campaigns after WWII, specifically the Dewey-Truman upset.

It's funny, all through college I had either older people looking askance at me about why I'd be interested in "ancient" history or peers teasing me about being a Russian asset just for the interest... I just never thought the Cold War actually ended, and when I was in college in the late 2000s, that was a wild take to have lmao

Years and Years. A miniseries, but fantastic, and I never see people talking about it.

Staying housed is "getting yours"? Lmao, you're delusional. And this is coming from a homeless person. I do not begrudge people who do what they can while maintaining shelter in the dead of winter. Frozen corpses can't protest either, bud.

And while they're out there protesting for weeks, months, years, how are they going to feed their kids and keep them from freezing? Being unable to provide shelter and basic necessities to your children is a good way to lose them...

Lemme guess, they should protest about that? I guess now that they have nothing left to lose...

Jfc, you really don't understand why someone might prioritize stability for their family over torching the lives of everyone they love? Try some empathy, man.
