I mean, yeah. Young people of both genders are doing really poorly. Some people want to really naval gaze it and throw pity parties about how men are just so put upon and lonely, but so are the gals and theys.

It’s just that the boys are being offered a solution of basically a heirarchy-cult (read: fascism) where instead of being shat on like the rest of us, they are—in this narrative—meant to be elevated above us.

It’s the same bullshit that got the white poor rednecks voting for billionaire grifters.

I’ll definitely give it a go! Been meaning to do another binge anyway. I think the last season I even saw was the one using them drowning as a plot device

Dang, the characters are my favorite part of lost :/

Always sunny is very hit or miss, and I haven’t properly enjoyed a season since 2018 I don’t think, but the ones that do hit knock out out of the park for me. My spouse and I quote it frequently

I felt the exact same way, you just brought back memories of watching it… The dream sequences stood out as extra pretentious in my mind

Bro season 2 is suuuuuuch a slog. I got into it for the mystery and esoteric horror imagery, and I understand that they were trying to emulate a soap opera for season 2, but it’s just so long and uninteresting to me.

It’s been such a road block to getting to Firewalk With Me and The Return :/

I remember the exact episode that I noped out of forever with Supernatural: when they brought in Snookie as a cross road demon cameo. Literally stood up and left my mom to watch the rest without me lol. I had already thought it sucked for a while though, yeah. I can tolerate season six okay, but it was definitely a very noticeable quality drop.

…really? I liked steins gate okay for what it was, but to me that’s like comparing a fine dining experience to a chain restaurant.

Damn, I’m the complete opposite. The tightly knit and well-thought-out, dense story telling felt very compelling to me. It felt refreshing to see a show that trusted its audience to keep up with it instead of spoon feeding the information to you. Not many shows/movies do that nowadays.

Funny, the Talking Dead was a show that aired after that night’s episode every week back in the day. It was actually a highlight for me; they’d have the actors and effects artists in to discuss behind the scenes stuff. It was very fun watching Greg Nicotero talk shop

I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me

Pretty sure cringe is quoting the Black Eyed Peas

Ew, pizzacake

That’s the normal pizzacake comic experience

That’s gonna be our approach, too with our kiddo.

It’s a hard one to fight your own overly-conservative programming in order to teach a healthier outlook to your kids. Hard to know if you’re going too far one way or the other. So much of parenting you just don’t know if you’re doing it right until you’re done.

Fist-bump from one internet parent to another, you’re doing a great job ✌️

Username checks out lmao

Never used one of those, but showerheads and bath faucets certainly

Not just boys. Girls explore and test boundaries with their genitals too.

It’s instinctual in that all babies explore their genitals as soon as they can start willfully moving their hands, yes. It’s not just boys having a special connection to their genitalia.

Well, if you really wanna get into it, I blame the Romans. It was their colonialism and influence that made the region of the Franks what it was culturally. Then their collapse created a power vacuum allowing this remnant territory to rise and fill it, wanting to be its own new Rome (like almost every other empire that arose after that). And on and on until today. Colonialism and imperialism is a cancer that has been growing and growing through the ages to get us to where we are today
