If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

Stresses me out so bad when authors who obviously don't drink write characters drinking. Omfg girl he is like 27 shots deep.

Yes, a lot of yuppies (transplants) that have their wonderful dreams of being in NYC and making it their playground never come to grips that they might encounter Black and Brown people here. Can’t tell you how often I see that tiny flinch of surprise when they see my Black ass walking down the street in Manhattan or Brooklyn. It’s like they heard that NYC is the biggest melting pot in the world and thought that just meant different restaurants. They want to absorb the culture that this city is renowned for without seeing the ppl responsible for it. It’s why I prefer the older school white New Yorkers, they may or not be racist on a case-by-case basis, but they at least know there are people of different races here. They’re not deluded enough to believe that NYC is a Mayo Clinic, unlike this new crop of yuppies that think this shit is gonna be like Friends. They be the ones that plaster a fake ass smile as they dance around the threat to call the cops.

hey guys remember when you were in school and you saw how adults treated you and your peers and you thought "man. when i grow up i'd never do this. i will never be the annoying old asshole talking about how different it was when i was a kid, when i clearly grew up in a different time. i will never blame the kids for things they can't control." do you remember that? haha me too. anyways can you guys stop making fun of "ipad babies" and start seeing children as people

All these tourists having a great time at the World Cup isn't surprising b/c the first rule of America is that this place rules if you have money to blow and it's a nightmare if you don't. The prohibitively high cost of attending the World Cup filtered out all the ppl who don't have money so all the people who actually made it to the U.S. are basically guaranteed to have fun

My kids once expressed a plan to me that involved a time machine, Andrew Jackson, and a hickory walking stick containing a bomb. What it lacked in practicality, it made up for in understanding the history lesson I had just given them (having at that point thrown the school's weak-ass mid-lockdown lesson plan across the room and engaged in a furious rant about the real stuff). The more you look at history, the more you start thinking you're gonna need a bigger time machine.
