That's cronyism lol.

Betterment is a good short-term solution to a crisis, but long-term generosity creates dependency and undermines the local economy. It's hard to compete with free so poor countries are rendered indeficient at developing their own businesses and systems for handling survival. And the free stuff is often mediocre and eats away at peoples dignity, like used clothes. Africans wearing a tired old oversized Spiderman shirt instead of something locally produced. The "gifts" poor parents give their children during Christmas are all donated. It sends a message to one's self-esteem when it's chronic. It's a good example of how good intentions tend to backfire if you don't appreciate how systems work. It's an example of why stage green is insufficient at solving the problems it cares about, and often actually makes things worse. Sometimes its more evil to rob people of the opportunity for self-improvement and dignity with your compassion than to just let them suffer and struggle.

Burn out is such a powerful force. It can take years to get over. I know Leo has been dealing with his own burn out, so I'm sure there's insight to be had. It's such a universal and often frustrating experience, because often what we're burnt out over is important to us in someway.

This redefining of matriarchy as something that's closer to egalitarianism reminds me of how certain progressives tried to redefine racism as being defined by power relations. Calling everyone who's white racist and that it's not possible to be racist if your a minority. The definition of matriarchy is political exclusion. It's obviously silly and hypocritical to advocate for that, so why use that term?

That's every thread in existence.

No one book will solve all your problems, but they can expand your understanding and equip you with tools to better handle your issues. Think of it more as a process than a goal you accomplish which you can contribute to with greater knowledge.

They should have a pet rock.

It's true that having a pet is like a child, but at best only 1/4. The anthropomorphism is stupid, like calling them fur babies or referring to oneself as fur mommy. It's a sign of the end times. A relationship with an animal is nowhere near that of one with a human in scope and effect. A lot of this dog mania is because people are too immature to handle real relationships.

Is the patriarchy in the room with us right now?

Indoor dogs is modern phenomena I believe. A dog makes a lot of sense on a farm. Not only as a work animal but also for the dog itself, who love working and it's a stimulating environment. I think the happiest dogs I've ever met was a small pack of four in an Aboriginal village in Queensland Australia. They would run around, play all day and chase dingos at night.

If your only having kids because your paid, do you actually want them? Not to say we shouldn't have benefits, but put in a historical context, such benefits would really be compensating for the breaking of communal bonds. It's a modern phenomenon that child rearing is so individualistic. Like having to pay out of the nose for day care is a complete skill issue and super indicative. Feminists also need to realize that women are biologically adapted for raising kids in ways that men aren't, besides being the one's who do all the birthing. Men and women aren't equal on that front, so it's not uniquely unfair that women carry a greater burden in that regard. It would be more unrealistic to expect something that exceeds biological reality.

It already exists to a certain degree in Northern-European countries. Women get benefits for raising children in addition to all the free social amenities like school, but it doesn't do much to make people actually have kids (while also being really expensive). The entire sociological environment is antithetical to breeding. Just throwing money at the issue won't solve it. Trying to solve social issues with just money is thinking inside the box. It does make for a good catchphrase in a informational consumerist kind of way though. It's probably a global force that is indicative of our moment in history.

It's quiet libertarian to want to get paid for something that historically has always been a communal and interpersonal function. Raising babies that is. Should we be paid for being law abiding as well? So much lost revenue and sex by following laws. I deserve to be compensated.

There's a fundamental difference between Muslims and westerners in how religion is treated as an institution. That difference is a big part of the xenophobia towards Muslims, and something that should have been taking into consideration when enacting all them migration policies.

Rat conformity

Would it be easier to move than to deal with her? Otherwise consider your options.

Can you move?

We'll have world peace the day Leo adds dark mode and likes to the forum.

People are maybe dicks but your not actively being censored and punished for having a different opinion unless your actively misbehaving. Your average subreddit is way more cult-like.

All social dynamics have varying degrees of cult-like dynamics, including Actualized. But actualized is a very mild place when it comes to cult-like dynamics. The fact that people are regularly and openly criticizing Leo and the only pushback they get from him is mostly on factual and technical errors. There's more room for individuality here than the average school classroom. I agree that certain people here should focus on improving their material standards and/or are too mentally ill currently to do the super deep stuff. I consider myself the former. Most of my interactions here are mostly for fun and aren't very serious since I basically already have everything I need to make progress on my goals as is.

-And I'm tired of pretending she's not. Just so happens turn into a radical socialist as soon as she's adopted by a pair of hippies, then into a poet for the next one, before completely stopping writing when her last handler doesn't write. The fact that people get so mad for simply question what is objectively a very sus story with an obvious motive for fraud should signal the sheer amount of cope present. People want to believe. So wrapped up in their "decent human being" larp. And because it really triggers old people and millennials when you discredit HK I'm obligated to do so. World's greatest twitter handle.

The amount of porn categories that are kind of wild and interesting without being degenerate and gross is pretty slim I believe. It's like an iceberg, with the College Humor tier of funny porn categories just being the tiny top protruding out of the abyss. That said, I know a couple. There's firecrackers, ping pong, kids cartoon character cosplay (like Spongebob), fake stuckage where they pretend they are stuck. I guess feet are kinda funny. I think the worst category of porn I've ever stumbled upon of when it comes to bad fetishes that isn't the usual stuff everyone knows is thorny twig dildo porn. As bad as it sounds. I didn't even watch it, I just hovered my mouse over the thumbnail so it played a snippet. The imagery will never leave me. I've been cursed.

It's wild that it's even hard to find any midget porn lmao. Who's it hurting? What's funny about partnering with a midget is that they can suck your dick standing upright.
