  • Holy shit. I already knew that I’m not the only person to go through that, but it feels crazy seeing someone else write it.

    I’m actually in the process of being tested for bipolar, my doctor wants to rule out every other option first. I respect that, but I need to try to find a better way to remember to actually set up those tests, especially after seeing this post. Thank you for reminding me.




  • Hey, so be careful if you’re planning to move up north-up north.

    The ground has started exploding in some areas that have permafrost, and some of the lakes are starting to release a lot of methane. Think Alaska and Siberia.

    The weather is probably going to be fucky in one way or another everywhere you go. I don’t think there will be an area that you can move to to really escape climate change. Wildfires are kicking the butts of many communities that are further north, and the winter ice storms that happen are pretty deadly too. I can’t imagine that those things will go away or improve anytime soon, since they are heavily thought to be linked to climate change.

    Some of the great lakes are so polluted now that the governments of both the US and Canada have recommend a safe yearly maximum number of fish to consume. The limit for at least one of those species is literally zero, due to how much fish absorb from the water around them. These are “forever chemicals” that are being absorbed.

    We still need to try to work on climate change, regardless of location. I hope that people don’t think moving north will protect them from the effects of climate change, because it probably really won’t.

    I know that you probably already know that, but I would like more people to see this stuff. I’ve seen too many people saying that they think just moving up north will make them safe from climate change.


  • It’s been this way for years. I remember when reddit started getting influxes of highschoolers.

    Don’t get me wrong, everyone should have a voice. That being said, I’m not sure most teenagers are really able to fully participate or advise on a lot of topics. For example, most teenagers won’t be able have solid marriage advice, nor will most of them have hands on experience working.

    One of the worst examples that comes to mind was this thread on AITA where the parent was wondering if selling the car that they promised their son to keep a roof over ther head was immoral. For context, the father died a long time ago, and they had bad medical bills to pay. It was pretty easy to spot the lack of nuance in the comments on that thread, I have to tell ya. Shelter isn’t something that you’re really OK without. Many people seemed to think it wasn’t necessary, and that a teenager needed a car (that wasn’t in his name) more than he needed a roof over his head. I was flabbergasted, to be honest.




  • I don’t get the rage that some of these comments have from seeing this meme.

    It doesn’t say that anyone actually did or said anything, just that their expression dropped after seeing an infant board a plane.

    People are allowed to be disappointed. I mean, I don’t think that most parents actually love hearing screaming and/or crying either. Is a (probably) brief facial expression seriously the same as hating all children, or wishing for them to dissapear to some of you guys? Jeez Louise.

    I mean, normally I wouldn’t give a hoot either way. Kids on the plane, no kids on the plane, whatever. If I had a migraine that day though, yeah, I wouldn’t be thrilled. I wouldn’t be upset at anyone for the noise in the slightest, but I also wouldn’t be joyful about it.

    Are we certain that that’s the actual contect of the picture, or did someone just say it was? Is this the accurate, OG text on the picture? Did any one of those people actually say or do anything beyond a facial expression when seeing very small children board the plane?

    Some of you guys need to take a deep breath and just relax. I’m referring to both extremes with this.



  • Yeah, for me, a company having a union shouldn’t really have much of an effect if they are actually treating their employees well.

    What wage discrepancies would there be to negotiate? Why would there be any arguing over allotted sick time? Why would an employee have a grievance against a company that they would need legal support for?

    A company that truly wants to treat it’s employees well should already be on board with all of that stuff. In fact, I’d almost even argue that they should want a union.


  • I agree with you. It’s not like most of these trips are creating any advancements. People are dying so that other people can see a view and brag about it. What a terrible return for a human life.

    I’m all for saving lives and looking out for eachother. That being said, many of these expeditions come with a dumb expectation that random people should also be willing to die. You shouldn’t be able to intentionally do things for fun that you know will likely risk other people’s lives. Many kids have lost their parents because of this.

    I kind of doubt that the people who live there really feel like they have a way out at this point. Even if they found a way to be financially stable outside of this industry, I feel like a large amount of very selfish people would be angry that they couldn’t go on these trips with the natives anymore. How could they stop people from showing up?

    Maybe people shouldn’t be going on a mountain that’s known to be deadly if they know that they will absolutley need to rely on a guide to survive. Maybe people should be working their way up mountain difficulty, and not just starting at the extreme ones. People should also start to respect the danger of being on a fucking mountain.

    So many of these deaths would have been avoided if these expeditions weren’t a thing. If people can’t do this safely without continuously risking the lives of others, we should seriously look into stopping it. So many families are permanently missing loved ones because of this industry.



  • I still want to know why these people care at all.

    Personally, I don’t even want to think about the genitals of 99% of the people that I’ve met. I honestly don’t want to know, it has nothing to do with me. I’m more than OK leaving some things unsaid. I don’t want to know. If you tell me your own gender or preferred name, cool, I’ll respect that and leave it at that. You’ll never see me asking if someone is trans. I won’t push privacy, and again, it’s none of my business unless it is.

    Why do these people care so much about complete stranger’s genitals? It is an obsession or a fetish? Is it just xenophobia?

    The thought never even crosses my mind. I would be super grossed out if a stranger ever asked about mine, tbh. It’s weird shit to judge an entire human off of, if you ask me.

    If a strangers bits are important to you, you should really look into why that is.



  • Eh, it also depends on where you live. I don’t know what it’s like over there, but we have an addiction crisis where I live. People steal many odd things, sometimes because they like them, sometimes to sell them, and other times because they hatch a crazy plan that they give up on halfway through.

    We definitely have certain people that are regularly kicked out of stores due to prior misbehaviour. (Assult, theft, biohazard stuff, etc.) Sometimes there’s only so much that you can deal with from the same person, you know? It can get to the point where you just ban someone.

    Imo when it comes to topics like that, people tend to be able to just brush it off as a silly internet thing.

    A silly internet thing is not necessarily equivalent a toxic community. I’m good with annoying posts, but a lot of people are taking other people’s personal decisions a little too personally. I find that behaviour more annoying than I ever found the bean posts, tbh.

    Why would someone spend their free time somewhere that they feel brings bad aspects to their life? Why would someone want to deal with a lot of negativity over (let’s be honest) pretty minor things? Of course some users will get put off by that. It’s why some people left Reddit years ago.

    If someone is against how a website operates, why would they continue to freely contribute things that would give profits to that website? People found out random specific information before reddit, and people will still be able to find that information after reddit.

    Personally, I look at it as I’m grateful that people freely share such information in the first place. When information is this available to find (we have almost the entire internet’s worth of resources), I’m not going to complain that I can’t find it on one website.

    Having attitudes like the one in this post can discourage people from sharing these things in the first place. No one wants to feel obligated to change their personal accounts to suit the liking of complete strangers, especially after they’re ready to move on. No one will want to be helpful if it just leads to complaints and grievances. Life’s just too short to deal with that noise, frankly.

    Some of these posts are almost implying that an individual person providing valuable information for free for multiple years isn’t enough anymore. It implies that your own morals and wants don’t matter anymore, if someone else has to look a little longer to find something.

    I’m sorry, I’m just sick of all the complaining and the expectations being placed on complete strangers to likely go against their own morals. Just use other websites, or create your own community. No one is beholden to go against their own morals just because it makes searching easier. That is not a great thing to expect of others.
