What radicalized you?
  • During the BLM protests when people were standing on their porch, filming from their own property and cops came by, turned to them, shouted "light em up!" Then started shooting. I don't think I will ever see police as anything other than a occupying army after that.

  • PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all
  • I mean honestly source? Free lean protein which I can acquire while circumventing price gouging and greedflation doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. Maybe toast them bitches in the air fryer and put em on a sammich. Make a CLT.

  • Ladies if all the men of the world disappeared for 24 hours, they are fine they will come back, BUT during those 24 hours what are YOU doing?
  • It is a lot safer for women to assume a man is dangerous until proven otherwise. I don't really see a comment that posits that only men are dangerous or bad, but stomp your feet and cross your arms when women tell you their lived experience, it's a great look.

  • How would you react if one of your parents came out as gay? (serious)
  • I'd probably have to help my mom accept herself, but she's actually open minded when engaged in sincere conversation. I'd probably have to help her reconcile her faith with her sexuality, which won't be too hard. She's actually one of "the good ones," when it comes to being very Christian but also the parent of a queer child. (Me)

    My step-dad would be interesting. If he came out it would be a genuine shock given he is a bigot. While it might feel really good to point and laugh at him, and not care what happens after he comes out to his very conservative family, thinking on it I'd rather offer my support to him and maybe gain an ally. I could at the very least be out to him. I'm not currently because I don't know how he'd take it and I live in his house.

    My dad's dead. If he was alive I wouldn't be a part of his life. If someone told me he came out, I would say, "Neat!" Then move on with my day.

  • I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this?
  • "Take responsibility for yourself."

    "Be accountable."

    "Learn to accept things you can't control."

    "Self pity gets you nowhere."

    These are all nongendered ways of saying your mental health is your own responsibility. Or, simply repeat to yourself your own observation, "If I'm feeling bad but force myself to do something, I usually feel better." You were already on the right track friend. Just realize gender has absolutely nothing to do with the concept and counter thoughts that tell you otherwise.

  • Frustrated Over Being Unemployed, Man Dies By Suicide After Burning All His Degrees
  • Had a very similar experience, even with game dev. You should honestly just avoid game dev jobs but yeah, right now it's impossible to pivot out of game dev anyways. I wish I could say it gets better, and it will, but the game Dev job market will never be good. I graduated 4 years ago and still don't have a job in the field. They want you to be working on personal projects while working 40+ hours a week, probably because they will be working you 60 hours a week, lmao. We picked the worse major, I wish I wasn't scammed into serfdom at 19.

  • What are the best conspiracy theories out there?
  • So, actually our federal prison system might just be that trash. Like super over crowded and super under funded. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a conspiracy to let him do it, but you can't actually say there was with absolute certainty.
