Fortunately, woodland creatures don't hire lawyers

  • This is the vibe I go for

  • While she says teachers are on the front lines, and she's right, it's not necessarily their responsibility to fix this problem beyond addressing it as it comes up.

    The onus is largely on the parents, but more importantly, it should be on all men to call this shit out as they see it.

    Little Bobby on your son's hockey team is spouting drivel and you're the coach? Don't just sit there and go 'meh, ain't my kid' - call it out. Talk about it. Penalize them if you have to. Rely on the systems already in place (like inclusion/safe space policies in sports leagues) to have your back when you have to act.

    You're out supervising your kid and someone else's kid playing and their kids start up with 'women want to be raped' - call that shit out. Shut it down. You might have an awkward conversation later with the parent, but any parent worth their salt will be ripping a strip off their kid if they find out how they have been acting.

    I feel like a lot of people are afraid to call out stuff like this because they're worried about the backlash they may face, or get shamed for not considering the offender's feelings. Offenders shouldn't feel safe, and lack of action only emboldens them. Not very long ago, it used to be if you said something stupid, you got relentlessly mocked. We've moved away from that, and now every opinion is seen as equal; even the harmful ones.

    Make morons afraid again.

  • I'm howling - thanks for the laugh

  • ooooUUUoooooOOOOuuuu Diiiiccckkkkssss ouuut for Hhhhaaaaammmbreeee ooOOOOuuuuu

  • And you caught them all flowering! Wicked!

  • I don't suspect so - I've never tried it, but I would really like to.

    I'm also not sure how tall it can get - depends on your growing season and the plant's lifecycle

  • I have seen fens full of these - like watch where you step kind of full. Some get really purple, but all look like a dick sticking out of the peat from the back angle.

    Imagine this guy from the back

  • I've heard that you can grow a FUCK TON of potatoes with these.

    What you do is you start the plant in one, let it grow, stack the next planter on top, and gradually fill with soil. Rinse repeat.

  • I'm not up on my dick energy idioms, nor do I care to be.

    The guy's is a douche canoe and that's all there is to it.

  • Please.

    I'm from Alberta. This is just big dick energy.

    Besides, there are 4x4 crew vans with lift kits that the oil sands mines use to address the issues you're talking about. Those are most certainly cheaper than this monstrosity, and if it was a work thing he'd have to have company decals on it.

  • Oof. I hear you on that front. Not feeling yourself is the worst, especially in your case where you're spinning the roulette wheel daily on mental health til things get sorted.

    I've only ever missed a day or two of meds, but I've been fatigued, worked into the ground, and had enough other crummy stuff happen to empathize.

    Feel better soon

  • Really sorry to hear that, Pug. I hope your not in too much pain.

    That sounds hollow, just reading it, but I'm really hoping whatever you're going though with the meds is short-lived and they can get back on something that works soon.

    Hang in there hommie.

  • For me, it's been as my kids get a bit older and somewhat more independent. Less time wiping asses and throwing packs of fruit snacks at them and more time to do things I want. It's JUST starting for me and my youngest isn't in kindergarten yet, but I've picked reading back up and played guitar the other day? I guess that counts?

  • Puffins, and pedantry is what ruined Reddit.

  • Honestly, I like the first few. They were great. Memories of Ice (book 3?) was possibly the best one.

    I just find it tried to cover too much and because of this the story is scattershot. I get that this part of his style but still, I don't give two shits about Nenander Gullet or Clip, yet I have nearly a full book dedicated to them.

  • Yay capitalism

  • That episode woke something up deep inside my 12 year old self and I've never been the same since.

  • Egwene: Spray bottle I'm a little fucking busy leading a revolt and preparing the world for last battle - piss off.
