It’s not weird to be a christian straight guy and have a gay best friend.
A lot of people tell me it’s weird that my best friend is gay, my dad is getting worried about me turning gay because my bro is gay. Like wtf??
He came out in late middle school and we were friends since elementary school. I didn’t treat him any different. About 80% of my friends came out as either bi or gay, and they’re still my friends.
I can hype up my bro and connect him with other guys, it’s not weird.
People don’t seem to understand that we’ve fucking established that we’re bros, yet we still make jokes about his sexuality and vice versa. He can sit me down and go on a rant about the guys he likes, and you bet your ass I’ll be right there listening while at the same time telling him about the girls I’m interested in, it’s not weird.
I helped him get ready for his ROTC ball, and taught him how to fix a tie. We’ve been through two shitty boyfriends and I comforted him. I supported him coming out to his mom and took him to watch Love Simon because I drag him to watch the latest superhero movies and it was so important to him AND to me that he got representation on the big screen, it’s not weird.
For a straight guy to be best friends with a gay guy I think a lot of people need to know that,
you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?
if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.
Except it isn’t always that simple.
Except it literally is. I deal with verbal and emotional abuse daily at my job. I get disrespected daily. I’ve had customers throw things at me. Not one of those situations have I ever felt the need to pull a gun on them and shoot them. In fact, I am expected to tolerate that kind of abuse with a smile and often times those people get rewarded for their behavior.
If a cop can’t deal with being disrespected without murdering people then they don’t need to be a fucking cop.
Uh, no. You will move. All the way over to a smoking area. Tf you think this is?
And if non smokers move that’s when people start to complain with the whole “UHM, WE’RE NOT MONSTERS WE’RE SMOKERS UWU” arguement
like bro i vape 0% nico shit but i still dont condone passive murder, so i move my ass too, get to the damn designated smoking areas.
You chose to start smoking, you chose to light up in a public place.
I did not choose to breathe your fucking smoke.
Get the fuck out of here with your selfish horseshit.
also some of us are FUCKING ALLERGIC
People: hey smoking is extremely bad and is literally your choice but like none of us want to get cancer or die or have potential lung damage cause some of us have lung conditions so could you kindly not smoke directly into my eye lids?
Smokers: HeY! This Is a FrEE country MaN!! DoNT like IT? DonT brEaTH iT!
Smokers children: *grow up with horrible lung damage*
Smokers: how could society do this to my kids?
I like how the world has literally come to arguing over whether people should be able to breathe or not
fr tho, secondhand smoke isdangerous. Smoking is a choice, but you have to confine that choice to yourself. You can’t be exposing people who made the choice not to smoke. Especially because some people (myself included) can’t tolerate even a small amount of smoke. Follow the rules, look for the signs. And even if there’s not a “No Smoking” sign, avoid smoking there unless you own the place or it’s been established explicitly that you CAN smoke there.
It may seem ridiculous to get told not to smoke at all in public, but you literally have no way of knowing when you’re going to encounter someone who can’t breathe even the tiniest bit of your smoke. (Just last week someone in the parking lot was smoking and they walked past me and it set off an asthma attack. Just from that. What am I supposed to do, never go out ever on the off chance that I might pass a smoker? Or the should the smoker, perhaps, finish their smoke in their car, or in a designated smoker area that I know to avoid?)
And as the CDC says, there is no risk free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. So keep it to yourself in your own space, guys.
For real though, the smoke off of bacon when my girlfriend is cooking is enough to trigger an asthma attack. Tobacco smoke is nearly ten times worse then that is.
ALL forms of smoke will set off my asthma. Tobacco, marijuana, even vape smoke will cause it to go. If you are smoking in a public setting, you are ALWAYS risking and harming the people next to you.
You have the right to decide to smoke or not. You do not have the right to make me breathe your second hand smoke, regardless of what it is from. You do not have the right to make all public spaces potentially deadly to other people.
Tobacco smoke can cause sudden and acute cardiac distress (ie, fucking heart attacks) in trans women on HRT.
You never know who you’re gonna fucking kill with that shit. As the smoker, it is your sole responsibility to not make it someone else’s problem.
Sincerely, someone who manages to only smoke around people who want to breathe it with extremely little difficulty.
Great-looking teeth come from two things: luck and money (which is also a function of luck).
Dental procedures tend to be very, very expensive, and are almost never covered by insurance.
Healthy teeth aren’t necessarily big, straight or bright white. Depending on what someone’s natural teeth are like, achieving that look may require a significant downgrade in their dental health; unnecessary crowns and veneers cause damage.
Do not underestimate genetics’ role in determining teeth’s appearance, or how prone teeth are to problems. Genes and early development, i.e. things people get zero control over, can outweigh all else.
A wide range of chronic conditions impact oral health and teeth’s appearance, too, and may contraindicate various types of work or raise procedures’ cost even more.
Finally, for many people and many reasons, celebrity-looking teeth just aren’t a priority (even when they’re attainable; some people might want, y’know, a new car instead).
Regardless, don’t be an asshole. Not even very attractive teeth look good on those.
I’ve NEVER seen a post like this and I’m thrilled TBH because I’m very insecure about my teeth and there is literally one reason they are not nice and that is money so I’m literally down for teeth positivity
I am a person who flosses and brushes religiously, and still wound up with cavities and had two root canals done recently, thanks to what I can only assume is the losing end of the genetic lottery. You have zero idea what someone is doing for their dental care unless you know them personally–they could be doing everything possible and STILL have “imperfect” teeth. SO DON’T FUCKING COMMENT ON IT and make people feel bad for something out of their control or financial reach.
Even when you have good dental insurance, you still have to pay a lot out of pocket for anything other than regular check-ups and cleanings.
As a general rule, if it’s something that can’t be helped or fixed right now, DON’T COMMENT ON IT.
Don’t ship real people. They’re not characters, they’re not your public property no matter how famous. They are REAL HUMAN BEINGS. Don’t be a creep.
uhh you can still ship real people
Nah.
Creep.
My OTP is a real couple and they’re engaged sooooo
People don’t seem to be getting this and are taking it so godamn personally, let me break it down;
Being happy for and supporting a couple you know/know of = fine, whatever.
“Shipping” ie, writing fanfic or drawing slash of real couples, friends or random strangers and applying your own feelings and desires and frustrations onto them = bad, creepy, don’t.
So after the many many posts mourning the passing of Stan Lee earlier today I’ve started seeing an inevitable wave of backlash about how he actually wasn’t a good person and we shouldn’t be mourning them. And these posts are par for the course when a celebrity dies because no one is all good or all bad, and that’s fine. And Stan Lee was human, he was a person with a complicated life and a complicated legacy, and I’m not here to whitewash any of that. However, I’d like to refute a couple of the points I’ve seen people making.
And while your mileage may vary on how much you agree with him there, it’s a far cry from him cruelly declaring Peter Parker having a boyfriend would be an affront before God and man and an insult to his authorial intent or whatever. Also, I think the original post that started this story was about Andrew Garfield saying something while doing press for Amazing Spiderman 2 and Stan Lee writing the contract as a result, but the contract is from 2011 and the first Amazing Spiderman came out in 2012, so the timeline doesn’t work. I could be misremembering the post though. There’s also this implied narrative that Andrew Garfield got axed for saying his Peter Parker was bi, but uh, no. No, they cancelled the franchise because Amazing Spiderman 2 bombed at the box office.
Now, to wrap it up, was Stan Lee a good and perfect man? No. His legacy is very much a mixed bag, especially when it comes to his relationship with his long-time co-creator Jack Kirby (although that’s a whole other suitcase to unpack some other time). I would like to point out, however, that the posts praising him aren’t all just blindly hero-worshipping him and being willfully ignorant. When someone you admire dies it’s natural to forget about the bad parts of them for a bit and get a little misty eyed, and not everyone’s gonna be totally objective about this man that they never met but who represents something important to them. I think that speaks more to the way we interact with celebrity as a culture than it does about the way Marvel fans see Stan Lee frankly. And hey, we gain nothing by pretending that Stan Lee wasn’t an important figure in comic book history, one who co-created the first black character in mainstream comics just two years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, who fought the Comic Code Authority censors to use comics to tackle heavy subject matter, who helped bring legitimacy to the art form and humanity to its characters. So as long as I’ve got you here I’m gonna leave you with his thoughts on racism in 1968, words that feel just as relevant today:
Hello, college grad that actually wrote an award winning paper on this topic! Here’s some knowledge I’d like to share: There’s actually been studies as to why it’s usually white kids, a large conclusion amongst the criminology community is that those that often have more privileged lives (white kids in our society’s case) are less adept to dealing with stress and denial. Whereas minorities and others are more likely to cope and function normally despite stressors because of the constant stressors that come from systematic racism and/or other platforms of more limited priviledge.
TL;DR: It’s usually a white kid because their privilege incacipated their ability to learn how to handle stress/ denial/ whatever without acting out. The less privileged are done used to the bs and thus typically dont turn to extreme measures as coping mechanisms.

The majority of shooters are white, male, and have a history of violence against women. We cannot ignore gender when discussing this issue.
Well now I always figured if you do not want a baby either do not have sex or at least use protection to avoid a pregnancy. But if you are dumb enough to spread your legs you better plan on having to deal with a child
@batardswann you run a fetish blog full of blow jobs and call it Christian. You really have no say in how a pregnant individual controls what happens to their body.
There are a lot of absolute idiots in the comments saying things like “a good dog will never hurt a baby” and “the child is never to blame if the dog attacks” and “special snowflakes call everything abuse”
Listen here you fucktards: dogs. Are not. Fucking. People. They don’t operate by human logic. They don’t follow human moral codes. It has nothing to do with it being a “good dog“ or not. If you were getting hit and pulled on and punched and scratched constantly, you just might react. A dog can’t speak up and say “hey please stop that you’re hurting me“. What he can do is move, lunge, bite, etc. These actions might intentionally or unintentionally harm your child. Use your fucking head and don’t let your kid beat up on your dog no matter how many times he’s “taken it” before; you never know when he might snap. Don’t teach your kids it’s OK to treat animals like punching bags and they’ll never react. That’s immensely unfair to both the animal and the child. You could have a hurt or dead child and a euthanized dog because you were fucking dumbass who thought the dogs were just there to be treated like toys.
Same goes for cats and any other pet. Teach your child how to properly treat animals or don’t have any fucking animals.
