Person in my gas station talking to someone on the phone: ...We're in Ohio...

me before i get my paycheck: i'm so excited to spend this on essentials and save the rest wisely

I mean this with all due respect:

“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

Majorly successful parenting advice I credit to my partner: from the time our kids were babies, any time they were exposed to an ad, he would mute it and say in a silly exasperated voice, "That's a junky old ad." He did this every time for like a decade. When they were ~5, they'd volunteer the info when an ad came on: "junky old ad!" When they were 10, they were able to say, "Look at this ad I'm getting on YouTube. That doesn't seem true, does it?" During the last presidential election they were tweens and YouTube targeted them so hard with incel/mra type political ads—AND THEY REALIZED AND TALKED TO US ABOUT IT.
