  • It really should be contextual. Every family is different, and each familial relationship is different.

    I’ve heard him say children don’t owe their parents money just because they’re their parents, and I’d agree with that statement. The parents are the ones who decide to have the baby, how to raise them, etc, so i think it’s wrong if parents think they’re entitled to their children’s money.

    But that doesn’t mean a child should never help their parents out financially. Morally, if you love your parents and can swing it, I think the right thing to do is help your parents if they need it. But there’s a big difference between asking a child to help and feeling entitled to a child’s help.




  • My dream was the stereotypical actress one, but I never had the confidence to really go for it despite people telling me I’d do well.

    Honestly, I regretted not doing it for a span of time, but everything I’ve learned both about the industry and me as a person since then made me realize that it probably would have made me miserable, even if I’d “made it.”

    The price of fame, to me, wouldn’t have been worth it. The fakeness of Hollywood, the constant networking/having to deal with people who have a whole host of personality disorders that make them seek out that job, a life constantly being looked into, the persisting pedo problem, the Harvey Weinsteins, etc… I enjoy acting, it’s super fun, but I’m glad I went a different route.

    I’m a substation designer now.

    I agree it’s got more lies than truth social based on its number of users, but It also has the best opportunity for unregulated truths. I think in order to have a platform we can be sure holds the truth, unfortunately, you’re going to open the doors to untruths, too. There is no good without letting in some bad, because in order to force good, you have to become authoritarian, and authoritarian spaces are easily manipulated with no way for us to figure out if it’s true or not.

    So, I’ll stay on X/Twitter for now.






  • Nope, see others commenting below.

    And my point was, you can’t be surprised that conservatives turn around and do what the left does to them when they have the chance to. That’s why I was so against Dems ousting Trump supporters from their jobs, because I knew they would turn around and do the same if/when they had the chance.

    It’s why we have to be very careful about any laws we pass when Dems are in power. Power will always swing back to Republicans at some point, and you’re fucking crazy if you think they’re not going to use those same laws to repress their political opponents







  • yawn here we go with over generalizing for the “other” when your side on the extreme takes the same action.

    Ok well I AM knocking conservatives when they hang out in groups, they become incredibly toxic and violent in their beliefs and they become dangerous even to the existence of a basic apparatus of federal government (see January 6th). Stillups, they become incredibly toxic and violent in their beliefs and they become dangerous even to the existence of a basic apparatus of federal government (see January 6th).

    Lol, right off the bat, like the extreme left have any respect for the apparatus of federal government. 🙄🙄 (see blm riots, where protesters in Portland attacked and caused damage to The Courthouse, The Edith Green-Wendall Wyatt Federal Building, the Gus J. Solomon U.S Courthouse, The Pioneer Courthouse, and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement building.)

    I don’t even gotta respond to anything else. Find it in one, you find it in the reflection of the other.
