Goodness. Where to begin.
First, black lives MATTER. I know ALL lives matter, but I& #39;ll use the verbiage others have: you love all your kids, but when one falls over and gets a bad scrape, you& #39;re gonna prioritize that kids injury. That& #39;s where this country/planet is at

We have to help address this GAPING wound for the betterment of the world.
All during that, yes, bad cops are out there, and good ones are too. As sad as it is, their system allows them to cover their own backs. That is unjust and GOOD cops have told us how bad it is

Going forward, we NEED to support those good cops and their desires to see real justice done. This MAY require the populus to protest all the dang time to force their local governments to reassess their police departments. I& #39;ve read some stuff from the Defund the Police...
Saying that at its core, that movement means they need to re-prioritize their spending and efforts, since allegedly they only really deal with like 17% of crimes. I am DOWN for that kind of process being brought to fruition, HOWEVER, the undeniable truth is that police...
...forces help keep society from breaking down. Wishing for the police forces to just stop existing will NOT solve the problems. That is a fact, and if you disagree, I respectfully (or not, actually) disagree with you and think you need to reassess the world you live in

Gaining perspective and learning to humble and discipline your mind can help you learn how to best help heal these wounds.

Were likely racist in their time of racial inequality and the prominence of those (still false) beliefs. Living in that time was complicated for everyone. And people were still potentially good even though they had incorrect moral views. The world hadn& #39;t caught up yet..
And many of those leaders still deserve respect for what they did right. It doesn& #39;t excuse what bad they may have done, but for shits sake, they& #39;re dead. We can remember what they did right and let their statues remind us what they DID right for the country. History classes...
Can and should still teach their flaws, but what they did in spite of those flaws.
So, in summary of that shitshow, follow Germanys lead in how they educate their people on their less-stellar history. We need to see what happened and not let monuments to the true evil people...

It& #39;s the only thing that can give us empathy. That or a close-to-home wake-up call. I& #39;d prefer you all learn through the former.

Through my teenage years and puberty, I discovered how to NOT handle my body (thanks porn, you& #39;re fucking useless) I also learned the hard way how to not invade personal space. Sorry to all the girls I was an idiot too. I really didn& #39;t mean any ill, but I accept that I still...
made people feel bad in any number of ways. I& #39;m glad to say that I& #39;ve never wanted to violate anyone and havent come close to raping anyone. My parents weren& #39;t psychos and I have a weird brain, but it holds absolutely no desire to force myself on someone. I& #39;ve had to learn...
How not to talk to women and all that jazz, and even how to DM anyone. K follow the practice of "dont bother ANYONE" unless you& #39;ve had good interaction with them and need to ask anything semi-personal (in the most appropriate ways possible), but the best method for social...
