  • I’m pretty autistic, so you’re not allowed to write this off as “people using magic communication I can’t understand because I’m smart” or whatever your model of the current situation is.

    When a person says it is not a parent’s job to protect their kids, you already know what it means. It’s right there in your three bullet point.

    • dont get into strangers cars
    • dont let strangers into the house
    • look both ways when crossing the road

    If a parent’s job were protecting their kids, these would read:

    • Don’t let your kids near roads or cars
    • Don’t give your kids control over the door
    • Don’t let your kids cross roads

    Like, if I was given care of a dog for a week while their owners went on vacation, and my job were to “protect the dog”, I wouldn’t be putting the dog in any of the situations where its own choices were the source of its safety.

    Are you ready to stop pretending that you don’t see?


  • Oh you must be thinking of the time they shot a student 70 years ago. No, I’m referring to events rightly called “massacres”. Not a trigger happy riot officer killing someone. I’m talking lining 20 people at a time up next to a ditch and shooting them all in the backs of the heads.

    Im talking about massacres. Killing events where 20 is a rounding error.

    Now I get it. Your teachers may have failed to teach you about human history. But we live in the age of informaron. You can look this stuff up.

    We haven’t had what Myanmar had recently.





  • You’re not responsible for their self development. This is a morale thing.

    Trust me it’s easier to pick yourself up for the whole team than it is for just yourself.

    Maybe next time you ride the bus, imagine that you’re a background character in someone else’s struggle, and how you hold yourself will be absorbed by their subconscious. Maybe just by holding yourself the right way, you can make everyone on the bus just slightly more ready for the day.
