Sure, let’s take a messed up kid, who had no choice in how they were raised, with almost no worldly experience, who’s brain isn’t even fully developed yet, and throw them into a costly system almost guaranteed to turn them into a repeat offender.

I’d rather see people bitch about a lax system and see more reformed criminals than feel the short term thrill of retaliation.

In the greek tradition we will bring back the kynodesme.

Sometimes it’s trans men, too. https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/11/10/Changed-Rules-Shut-Trans-Bodybuilder-Out-Competition/

Not that I know of. I walked away and it was anti-climactic. I believe one is living in a broken down van and thinks Elon Musk talks to him directly, not that poverty and mental health issues are anything to make fun of.

I was the target. It was an IRL one that moved to the internet.

I tried to get people to use each other’s preferred pronouns. The hate didn’t really ramp up until I brought up facts and evidence.

It had all the elements of your standard hate mob, with trolling, doxxing, threats, and all that.

Ooo which one?

You don’t know it because that’s not what you said.

According to the latest research on PubMed and Statistics provided by UNESCO, women do not outnumber men in any stem position except life sciences, which includes healthcare nurses. No one disagrees that the gender gap is closing, but to say women hold more positions than men because of demographic goals is wrong as hell.

Curie was recognized in her lifetime, she won a ton of awards, including two nobel prizes. The enormity of her contribution to physics and chemistry compared to her co-winners has been slowly revealed over time, but she was considered a brilliant scientist during her life.

A better example could be Lise Meitner who, while in exodus from Nazi Germany, essentially figured out what fission was just by learning about the results of early nuclear physics experiments. But when people list the big names in nuclear physics, she’s not one of them.

According to a number of sources on STEM statistics worldwide in 2025, women still occupy less than half of all STEM positions. A higher percentage of female nurses is why there’s a majority in “life sciences.” Women hold fewer higher level/higher paid positions than men in all STEM fields as well, and minorities are still demographically under-represented across the board.

I’m just impressed you engineered a snow fort with a door that opens.

The Dark Lady of DNA is a pretty good biography of Rosalind Franklin. Watson was a piece of shit.

Whenever someone asks why women haven’t made any great contributions to science, he’s part of the reason we don’t hear about them.

Imma 'bout to go toss an irradiated, used tampon on his grave.

I steal it from behind the ice rink.

This is delightful. I haven’t quinzhee camped since I was a teenager, but once my friends and I made one tall enough to stand in with the help of a friendly gravekeeper and his backhoe.

Send him to pick flowers…

Guys, is farming gay?

Oh no thank you, they’re not really my thing.

My life would be a lot better so it would make up for the rest.

Everyone gets a bag of werther’s original.

Go outside at least once a day when I don’t need to be outside.

Speaking as someone with recurrent severe depression, my closest friends are the ones who harass me with their love. That said, I would never want someone to try to reach me through my family. Her situation might be different.

Depression is very isolating, it can make you feel unworthy of being around people because you can’t be fun, and you get anxious about making “mistakes.”

My favorite people are the ones who randomly show up, drag me out, ask me for help with something (introvert cheat code,) and buy me games without asking so we can play together.

If she’s an adult, she’s capable of telling someone to back off if it’s too much.
