  • Most people honestly don’t use clear lines in their logic. Even for many laws and ethics, we don’t. I personally think this is okay because using the “drawing a line” thinking is restrictive, meaning it doesn’t allow you to grow so well, intellectually-speaking.

    A common way people fail to keep to their lines in the sand is when they justify their side, politically speaking, to do something that they’ve demanded the enemy cannot do. This is bad and unfair. But then again, I’m sure a lot of you will be guilty of this way of thinking throughout your life - we’re only human.




  • because, unironically, they get kicked out of criminal club for not dressing the same way.

    Have you ever seen those cop shows where someone has to go undercover in a drug trade or something and they get accused of being a cop instantly? It’s like that. The cops, having not spent a while acclimatising to criminal culture, are caught unaware by the rules at play.

    So, ironically, even the people who like to believe they’re rebelling against society, are very adherent to strict societal rules like dress code.





  • I’ve taught him about “low quality” content and we’ve watched a couple so he could understand what I meant. Now, when he wants to watch something like that, I say “no, that’s going to be low quality,” he seems to understand and we move on to find something else.

    Honestly never thought about how I would teach my (hypothetical, future) kid this stuff. I have the benefit of a decade of experience learning how youtube works and living through the clickbait endemic.
    I guess that’s why it’s so important for parents to navigate YouTube together with them. My first experience of YT was also watching cool stuff like VSauce and Lego animations with my family.

    That said, we were at a restaurant the other day and a woman was there with her baby and a friend. She set that infant in a high chair with AI slop on her phone right in its face. The kid definitely didn’t disturb her conversation, because it looked like a zombie. Godspeed, child

    Sometimes you see toddlers who are just playing blaring loud noises from tablets at restaurants. You also see adults&teenagers doing that on trains… I guess I would point them out to my kid afterwards and say “that’s what happens when you watch too mcuh brainrot!”


  • For example, I once heard a story about how a guy about 17 years old was dating his teacher who had a twelve-year-old daughter, and I heard they got married and had another child.

    Where was that? Cos I’m getting “Rural America”

    TBH it would probably be fun unless your step-children are WAY older than you, I figure the guy in your example had it best. And I can’t help but think “lucky her” for the teacher mom.

    There’s the argument that you’re sacrificing dating people you’re own age but some of us just vibe better with older ladies.

    My English teacher at high school apparently married an ex-student about 1 year after he finished school. Nothing underhanded, they just met up again and struck it up. She was built nicely, like Sofia Vergara.
