People when kids screech at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’
People when kids run around at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’
People when kids use an ipad at a restaurant: ‘Must be shitty parents.’
There’s no winning here. Children just aren’t allowed to exist.
We are the exception because we most definitely weren’t like that at all as a kid. /s

Wisdom teeth were amazing to have back when dental care didn’t exist and our teeth fell out from decay or injuries.

This entire post is precisely the problem. The fact that everyone here is conflating sex with mental health support is the reason why men’s mental health isn’t being taken seriously.
Men are not socialized to, and even actively discouraged from being emotionally vulnerable with each other.
We won’t need men doing more fucking, we need men to sit down together and talk about their depression, and we need other men to be supportive and not downplay these conversations with sexist or homophobic slurs.

People when autistic boys have mental shutdowns: haha it’s so quirky when he hyperfixates.
People when autistic girls have mental shutdowns: what a bitchy and emotional teenager. She’s not even autistic she just does it for attention.

Make sure to keep your left eye looking at the ‘x’ the whole time. The ‘.’ should only be in your peripheral vision.

That’s a recipe for a UTI. Please do not garlic bread.

Quick way to find your blindspot:
- Close your right eye
- Hold your phone/monitor 1ft (30cm) away from your face
- Look at the ‘x’ below
- Slowly bring your phone towards you (or your face towards the monitor) until the ‘.’ disappears

That’s the evolutionary theory behind polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). 10% of all women have it.
Starve a lot, eat a lot, expend minimal calories, rinse and repeat. As a bonus, we get hyperandrogenism and delayed fertility. Great for surviving scarcity, terrible for surviving the modern world.
- Comment on Anon puts himself out there 4 weeks ago:
There wasn’t. I never said every woman always has support. I only said that men struggle with vocalizing mental health needs among their friends.
If talking to your friends about trauma at the appropriate stage in your friendship is considered trauma dumping, I’m sorry to say that I’m afraid you don’t have close friends.
That, or you’re coddling and patronizing your friends for lacking the emotional maturity to handle deeper conversations.
True friendship comes from being comfortable with your vulnerabilities around your friends, and having each other’s backs. A support group isn’t a substitute because it’s premise is transactional in nature, where you are expected to talk about and listen to trauma without attachment.
- Comment on Anon puts himself out there 4 weeks ago:
Because men don’t have a strong enough social support system to have cathartic talks about their emotions. Because women aren’t willing to disproportionately shoulder emotional labor anymore.
The patriarchy hurts everyone. Normalize discussing mental health among men. Don’t let stigma stop you from telling your friends from how much they mean to you and how you’re here if they need to talk.

40% of Mormon missionaries leave their church after their missions.
Don’t turn them away. Talk to them with kindness and compassion, and understand that they grew up as victims of a cult. Show them there is so much more to the world than the what the LDS church tells them.

Yes, rat experimentation is the cornerstone of modern medicone, but that doesn’t make it any less fucked up.
Something can be equally good for people yet completely inhumane. It doesn’t cancel each other out.
Do I think we should stop experimenting on rats? Absolutely not. But we can try to at least improve the general well-being of these rats and stop deliberately torture them. Peopes have done sleep deprivation experiments where a rat is forced to stay awake or fall in the water and start to drown.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 5 weeks ago:
The fucked up part are the experiments, not the euthanasia.
Rats have to be killed because we don’t know if they will continue to suffer after the painful experiments done on them. They can’t be let out either because it can harm the general rat population. Companies don’t give enough of a shit about keeping rats alive in rat retirement homes either.

Nope. Just reading with basic comprehension:
Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.
The context of which was that women don’t experience this because OP was making the claim that young women can ‘have their pick of men’ when ever they want.
- Comment on She's a keeper 1 month ago:
Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it’s called Invisible Woman Syndrome.
Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let’s not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

Imagine any other medical condition where a person’s appearance is drastically altered but not severely detrimental to their health, conditions like massive benign tumors, skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, etc
We wouldn’t question them if they wanted it fixed due to body dysmorphia or dysphoria because as fellow humans we can understand what is like to have a drastic unwanted change to your own body that you did not agree to.
Remember that puberty too, is a drastic change to ones body. Imagine if you had gone through puberty expecting to be fine, and then you go through the sensory torture of developing features on your body that you do not want. Imagine waking up the next day with the body of the opposite gender, except this is what it’s like every day for the rest of your life. You might personally be okay with this, but for many, the internal experience of having a mismatched brain and biological sex is unbearable.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s because gender presentation is only one component of it, and the other is biochemistry.
Trans people experience dysphoria partly because their bodies do not produce the amount of sex hormones (progestogens we, androgens, and estrogens) at a ratio that matches what their brain needs. It’s like putting gas into a diesel engine. Their brain expects their body to develop in a certain way, and it does not.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Why are we redefining someone else’s gender for them instead of redefining what it means to be a man? Normalize make up and ‘girl clothes’ for men. Normalize looking pretty for men. Regardless if someone declares themselves trans or cis, believe them.

It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else’s video for all we know.
Don’t touch your phone while driving, but also, don’t believe everything you see on social media.
