Honestly, if you start talking about enforcing homogenous societies that can quickly become hate speech. Context is everything. Sophisticated language is often used to cloak horrifying ideas.
American Conservatives don't want kids leaning about s3x in middle school coz they're afraid that they'd then be able to identify things going on either @ home, @ church, or both
@@Chib_Lee I taught middle school and high school. I know better, but parents don't want to hear it. Don't think your teachers don't know what is going on though. We don't look at your with the "not my baby" blinders parents have. We just care more about what goes into your heads.
I hate, hate, HATE, when other men shame and belittle male sexual assault / harassment victims! Men will NEVER be weak for not wanting to be touched or talked to in a sexual way without prior consent. Those are completely normal things to want and expect from other people. Men like that one dude replying to the tweet about the drunk dental assistant girl are the reason why male victims never want to speak out. Like why are they seemingly incapable of feeling sympathy for one of their fellow men who just had to go through something absolutely horrifying and life altering? Almost all of us women will ALWAYS support other women if they go through that, and almost all of us also give our full support to men who have had to go through that. Mainly because, unfortunately, we have most likely had to go through that as well since the percentage of women who have been sexually assaulted in one way or another is very high. But to any male victims who might be reading this, you are valid, you are strong, and you deserve to be supported and validated for what you had to endure, whether it be by the hands of a man or a woman. Please stay strong, and just know that even if everyone else is against you, I will be standing with you. Which I know probably doesn’t mean much since I’m a random UA-cam commenter, but I hope it can at least comfort you a bit knowing that at least one person in the world will always support you 🫶
Agreeing with all of this! I'm a woman but I know what it's like when literally 0 sources mention your sort of situation, even when spreading awareness about the same type of abuse. It can feel so isolating, and can make you feel like what you went through doesn't really matter, or isn't "real" enough to be considered, but what you went through _was_ real. It's okay to feel however you feel about it. You are not weak for feeling emotional pain. I'd honestly even claim that living with pain and still not hurting others, is the strongest thing a person can be forced to do. But letting those around you know what happened is not the same as burdening them or hurting them, and you do not need to carry it alone. You are no less of a man/woman/person for what someone else did to you, and you did not deserve it. // Writing this as someone who experienced girl-on-girl COCSA, so yeah, I've never seen any general source mention this type of abuse, or even COCSA-inclusive wording in general (it's always mentioning an adult taking advantage of a child, or adult-on-adult, sigh).
Let's also remember that _men cannot get erect at will_ … it's all involuntary nerves. So he can be into you, want you, _and_ DtF, but _still_ not get hard - a situation that's far more common than you'd believe. The converse, therefore, is also true: it's possible for a guy to get hard withouth wanting to have s3x. Yet there is this assumption that "hard-on==consent." It doesn't. Which means that a guy _can also_ be r@p3d while not being penetrated. Now, that form of sexual assault on a man isn't going to be anywhere near as frequent or commonplace as sexual assault on women. But like you said, 'frequency of occurrence," and who the victim is doesn't make it "okay" or "not _really_ assault._ If there's no explicit verbal consent, there is not consent, and it is therefore nonconsentual. Sad that we need to say, "To be clear: water is wet," but this is the timeline we're living on…
When I was 15 my best friend's mom (37 at the time) began SAing me. It continued for most of a year before she tried to stab her son for telling her to leave me alone. He went to my parents at that point and the police were called. This was in the mid 90s before the passage of several laws, and after she was found "psychologically unfit to stand trial" she was just released back out into the world. Meanwhile I was being berated by my uncle for "not admitting she didn't SA me because I liked it". So thank you for your comment.
Someone should make a movie with people acting like they did during the pandemic. "Mavis! You can't bring Gertrude to this thing, she's a zombie!" "No she's not! She's just had a cold and that's why her voice is raspy!" "Her jaw fell off two weeks ago!" "So what's the problem then? She's got no jaw, she can't bite you!"
Considering this is always the part that appears to be missing in *every* zombie pandemic movie out there, I would really want to see it. For scientific reasons.
Honestly this sounds like a perfect parody movie and something I would do... If I took more then one semester of Drama class as an elective in highschool a few years ago. Wish I had the talent though
I will never understand how target selling a pride t shirt is "grooming kids at their most impressionable stage", but forcing your kid to go to church and sunday School, say prayers/blessings, etc. is somehow different.
But nooooo, religion can't be indoctrination! Respect people's beliefs even if those beliefs are utterly harmful, and you're not allowed to critique the way they raise their children.
@@lilharm The way they think of it is that gay relationships are inherently sexual. Because any time they think of queer people, they think about how their sex is or their bodies look like. So they assume that their toddler child will be groomed by gay relationships. Meanwhile they're the only ones who are thinking that, and their toddlers don't care. I grew up not even knowing what the word gay was and only ever watching hetero relationships, but I'd obsessively ship girl characters together in my kids' movies. I didn't think about them having sex, I thought about them kissing or holding hands or hugging.
Honestly, I was so annoyed by this post because of the fact that no boomer would ever be able to buy a house in this economy either, they got theirs, plus a couple more for like $20, and jacked up the price 350x over.
I actually managed to buy an apartment and not bankrupt myself, but I looked at its original sale price on the record, in 1989. It was like, maybe 10k in today's money 💀
Yeah, it strikes me as being sorta like saying: "Ok, boomer." "Yeah, whatever. I raped your sister." Like, that's really not the comeback you think it is...
It’s only a victory if you lack empathy, self-awareness, critical thinking, foresight…you know, all the traits and skills that distinguish a decent human from a literal chimpanzee.
Gotta respect the "ok renter" Comeback, but if anyone ever uses it on you just tell them you're waiting for the parasites that ruined the house market to die off while looking them in the eyes
"Why is it always the same people?" Because they think calling it sexualizing makes it sound more morally superior to get more people on their side and it sounds better to to "Don't make the children gay, then it'll be harder for me to frick them." Seriously that's the big concern is people take away the objects of their desire. They don't actually care about the children as you'll find the same sort of people are also against supporting and taking care of them. "That's socialism!"
Also because accusing others draws the attention away from themselves. In the US during all the conservative outrage over "groomers" there has been complete radio silence about the ongoing church abuse scandals, the numerous Republican officials caught preying on minors, the states that fought to preserve child labor and child marriage, and the anti-trans bills that allow for the inspection of children's bodies.
My wife used to run Camp Born This Way for trans kids and their parents. One of the dads was shocked that the camp counselors wouldn’t talk his kid out of being trans. All of the paperwork needed to attend said that this camp was a chance for trans kids to be around trans people.
Can confirm sexual assault has affected and destroyed my life, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have to have constant distractions so it's not quiet for too long. It has caused panic attacks and so much worse
My perpetrator is in my class. The only reason I'm even able to attend school is because I went to therapy and school was willing to schedule us into different groups so we'll share minimal amount of classes. I made a report months ago but police haven't even contacted me. The nightmares and intrusive thoughts are probably the worst part because the second they come they force themselves to stay so you just suffer until it's gone and you sit somewhere, staring off to space, not comprehending anything.
@@introvert357that's exactly how it is :( I have a friend that fusses at me if I zone out like that cause it freaks them out but I don't even mean to do it
I'm really annoyed at what those warnings I sent out about the national test turned into. A group of abuse victim advocates spread the word "Hey the national emergency alert will go off no matter your settings. Be sure if you're hiding a phone from your abuser you turn it off for your safety." And somehow antivaxers took those warnings and turned it into nonsense
It also would have been helpful for people who have noise sensitivity and panic disorders to have known that the alert blasts at maximum volume even if you keep the sound low on your phone.
@@Alexander_Luv1 Also there were warnings to friends like "Hey. Since your family is suspectable to conspiracy theories be careful of this upcoming alert as it could cause a mental health episode from stress if they believe the conspiracy theories around this one like they do with ivermectin and those fish antibiotics."
I watched that video with the sober kid they arrested for driving impaired. They put his place on the varsity football team at risk for absolutely nothing. They said he seemed impaired after having him stand in the pouring rain in a T-shirt for nearly 15 minutes. It was cold and raining. They put his health and future at risk for a power trip. They deserve to be sued.
25:35 As someone who's almost 13 and has adhd and anxiety, I would probably try to game over too. The fact people think that because a kid was so traumatized by being assulted means that he's "weak" is absolutely disgusting. I'm glad that there are many people who have common sense and would agree with me, but the amount of people who disagree is scary. It makes me not want to leave my house.
Something similar happened to a 17 year old boy in the Netherlands when delivering for a food service. Two drunk ladies in underwear opened the door and tried to get him to come in to "party" and were also being seriously inappropriately touching him. He left traumatized and his employer immediately called the cops on those ladies. And they were in fact sentenced for SA while proclaiming loudly that they didn't understand why that literal child didn't like what they were doing.
"It's a real soft spot for Millennials because they know they will never own thier own home." AND WHO'S FAULT IS THAT, KAREN??? I DON'T RECALL BEING A PART OF THE ECONOMY CRISIS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
@@davidvanhorn3340 Wow, that's a pretty fancy way to say how much you hate your family. Millennials don't owe Gen X and Boomers anything just for getting birthed into this world, if thier parents didn't do anything to earn the respect. If we're such failures, then whose fault is it for not preparing us with important life skills and GETTING RID OF THE CLASSES IN SCHOOL THAT WE NEEDED TO LEARN ACTUAL LIFE SKILLS?? I would have loved to learn how to cook as a kid or how to fix a seam instead of having to stumble through it after graduation, but I'm pretty sure Home Ec was deemed useless in favor of longer math and history classes. Y'all threw us in the ocean and laughed when we got caught in a riptide, talking about how you guys were so much tougher than us because no one apparently helped you, while we were actively drowning. Godforbid we have a disability that YOU caused by being so dense and selfish. Whatever, at least I know my Boomer grandmother appreciates me, enough that she adopted me as her daughter, and we both share a nice rural home together and I pay my part of the rent and keep things clean because she has some mobility issues but she can enjoy herself without doing heavy lifting, and I didn't have to leave home like my brothers did, but yeah, sure, try to take that away from her because you want to condemn an entire group of people who are your fault.
The blood brain barrier is actually a thing. It‘s there to separate the blood stream from the brain in order to prevent infection. This to reduce the need for inflammation, which could lead to swelling. And despite what click often tells us, a voluptuous brain will only incur brain damage. The actual face palm was that anything would dissolve it, which is improbable at least. Oh and it would mean instant death.
Thank you! I have MS and the reason you get brain lesions is bc your immune system is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and starts attacking your brain/spine
I live in Texas and my first introduction to The Civil War was my fifth grade teacher telling us it happened "for economic reasons" and not to free the slaves. I believed the teacher until maybe high school when I learned more and understood the entire economy of the South was run by slaves. I think about that a lot now that I'm in my 30s, educated with a doctorate, not racist or a bigot, but surrounded by them. 😞
I was born in the PNW and civil was presented as a war to free the slaves but it was treated as a foreign affair over in the far east. Slavery was seen as a kin to the Holocaust, horrible thing that we found against but it is also far away issue. Japanese internment and chinese "endentured laborers" were seen as the local sin. Ironically i moved to the deep south in 2022, and the local civil war museum has every reference to slavery highlighted in every CSA state declaration of independence and state constitutions. And the proprietor of the museum forces everyone to read them before seeing the rest of the museum.
Where in Texas are you from? I'm from Texas and was never taught this way at my schools. Don't get me wrong, not everything in history class was accurate, but it wasn't like this
This isn't the first time I've seen "kids need to be bullied to be toughened up" as a take, and it horrifies me every time. Just. How can people literally say this and not hear themselves?!
I think they were bullies when they were younger and they have no regrets and they hate that they're being called out. So those assholes are like "Noooooooooooo they're telling me I was wrong it's NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!" And just throwing a temper tantrum just like a spoiled toddler. That's all I can come up with.
@@katieknighton That or generational trauma and projecting boomer views of "toughen up and face the problem yourself cause we're not gonna do jack diddly squat" onto the new generation. Neither of which is okay.
@sagesaria Yeah I never understood why they would do that to their kids or think that "facing problems by yourself cause we ain't gonna help you." is really a good thing to do to their kids cause all that's gonna teach them is that they can't trust anybody.
@@katieknightonExactly. Or being an asshole to your child and treating them unfairly "because the world outside is unfair too". Good job, you didn't teach your child confidence, you taught them fear and uncertainty and anxiety for the rest of their life because you never gave them a place where they could be safe so they never learned what safety feels like.
@spiritmuse I know right. Those Karens didn't teach their kids anything about the outside world all they taught was that the world is just an evil place and that can't reach out to anybody. Way to go Karen you just caused your kid depression and anxiety. (Sarcasm.)
What makes it even more hilarious is that Iowa is a 1 party consent state. That means that he was well within his rights to record them, on top of his First Amendment rights in regards to free speech. Even if he was talking about them in a negative light, defamation is incredibly hard to prove, as it requires proving the INTENT behind the act, as well. It's both hilarious and sad that they think they have a case.
Something like that could be considered a SLAPP suit, but even without a legitimate case, they could still pile legal bills on the poor kid, which more often than not would result in the cops getting what they want out of a settlement or the kid's finances slowly being bled dry as the case drags on, and that's regardless of who wins.
Even worse, the local police union will use their influence and legal resources to back those cops, even when they are clearly in the wrong. And even if the case is dismissed, the union will make sure that no meaningful consequences will come to the patrolmen, reinforcing the erroneous idea that police are above the law.
@@stischer47It wouldn’t surprise me if there were lawyers who would take his case pro bono just because of the stupidity. And they would gain publicity as well. Unfortunately, Ohio is one the states that does not have any anti-SLAPP laws.
In the American legal system, lawsuits are often used to intimidate people and drain them of funds; even if you're in the right, legal defense can get expensive, so some people, particularly those with money/influence, just use the law against people who don't have the time or money to deal with it.
Police in Germany will regularly counter-sue you, too, when you register a complaint or sue them (because the complaint did nothing) for messing up and treating you illegally.
I was a young boy and was subjected to SA by my much older babysitter (I was six and she was 17 when it started). And the few people I told when it happened called me a liar (she wouldn't do that, stop being sick), told me how cool/manly I was (nice, was she hot?), or outright called a pervert and told I was probably just fantasizing over her. I suffered years of identity issues and frustration over my own sexuality because of what she did to me. Plus I spiraled into addiction for a few years, and that was so hard. Depression will make people do crazy things, and su*cide is the scariest feeling to think acceptable for an outcome. I've been wearing makeup and skirts since I was 12, and I wanted to be a lesbian until around the age of 16/17. Couldn't have any meaningful relationships with girls since most girls are not into feminine goth boys that are into weird kinky stuff (it wasn't as acceptable in the 90's for straight boys to wear eyeliner and a lacy short skirt with spiked leather boots and stuff). And I am still a huge weirdo! I still love makeup, I wear it more than my partner. But therapy did help. I just wish more of the adults in my life cared enough to listen when I was crying for help. I would have turned out very different, to be sure!
The blood-brain barrier is actually a thing. It's a protective mechanism, effectively, but it means that certain substances, medications etc cannot cross from the bloodstream into the cells of the brain, because the lining of the blood vessels in the brain differs from that in the blood vessels in the rest of the body. As a result, it acts like a filter, keeping out most viruses, bacteria, other pathogens and toxins, and many medications.
@@Quinnaka Mostly. It's more like a filter that reduces the chance of big things getting in. But yeah, that's the intention, anyway, it's to more tightly control the balance of things in the brain because the function is so vital.
@@hyenaedits3460 Absolutely. I trained as a medical microbiologist and the amount of fuckwittery that I've seen - especially over the last 3.5 years - has been absolutely painful to see.
To add to that, there's also a gut-blood barrier that does the same from contents of the stomach towards the circulatory system, however that one is much less selective. Though if that one gets broken, say by an infection, bad things will still happen like expected.
spoiler alert! that "psychological disorder known as respecting others" is actually most likely fawning! it's a trauma response, in the same vein as fight, flight, and freeze. it's when the victim appeases to others to extreme extents, sacrificing their own safety and comfort in order to meet their standards, or even ones the victim has set themselves. these self set standards are usually incredibly extreme as well, and being unable to meet these standards often causes severe psychological distress.
@@awkwardukulele6077 "I'm completely fine, they don't know what they're talking about!" -the person who lives in a constant state of extreme stress and always chooses fight.
To be fair, in the police-suing-the-kid example, the law regarding defamation in the United States DOES recognize truth of the alleged defamatory accusations as an absolute defense. The real issue is that you can file a lawsuit against anyone regardless of merit, and then they have to pay a lawyer to defend themselves, while the police have infinite YOUR money to spend on theirs. They're not hoping to win in court, they're hoping to grind him down OUTSIDE until he can't go on and then they either extort a settlement or win a default judgment.
The thing is, the defamation suit is because the kid put the cop on blast for having domestic violence charges and still being allowed to be a cop LMAO
Why is it ALWAYS the people saying “protect the kids” who end up being creeps? Like, godammit, I know it wouldn’t be _good_ to have otherwise normal people lying about us either, but do they have to be a danger to LGBT people AND children? We live in a dark-ass timeline.
@@Bunny_Bill Hypocrites ARE saints. Saints weren't good people, they were horrible people who turned "good" after becoming Christian. That was the entire damn point. Saint Augustine was in love with a f*cking 6 year old and lamented about it in his writings.
This. Although it could be argued that the war was in part for economic reasons and a more accurate summary would be South- We're leaving because you can't take away our right to own people North-Oh crap, you guys produce so many raw goods. You can't leave! Also we're telling all your people they're free now because it will really mess up your economy. Like, the South definitely didn't have the moral high ground, but the North wasn't exactly pure of heart and noble either.
@sarahr8311, I agree with your post. I don't think it was as cut-and-dried as either side makes it seem. I'm sure there were moral warriors trying to dismantle slavery, but the story that's being drowned is that the Fed Gov made multiple states do what the Fed Gov decided, for tax purposes. With the Fed Gov going to war for profit (proxy or not) and sticking its nose into issues that can make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding people (unproven vaccines, 1st-Amendment tyranny, 420 still being schedule-1 nationwide, etc.)... These are the reasons that someone in the unaffiliated center, like myself, could see there being nuance to the Civil War without just saying, "Duh, Southerners were ALL racist enough to fight for unpaid workers." Yes, there was propaganda on both sides, as there is now. I'd simply encourage people to suspend their belief in either side presented (in whatever public story) until you have information that proves something concrete. I am a person who enjoys conspiracy stuff, but doesn't commit to anything unproven. What has been proven is that people in power will do stuff for more power or to keep power. Remember that the strongest broadcast of information typically has to go through the checkpoints made by people in power.
They're the same thing. Name one case of "States' Rights" that wasn't a specific State's right to take rights away from specific citizens. The only times I've seen the subject come up so far have been fights against the 14th amendment, which tells local governments to treat everyone the same, no matter their race or sex.
Correct. If you go into detail,its much more complex then just "slavery should be legal/illegal" But all those details ultimatly boil down to if slavery should be legal/illegal.

34:52 as a survivor. I don't know how old I was the first time it happened, all I know is I was still in a diaper, I remember it all, I remember ge did it every day for months. I have struggled with several mental illnesses, ptsd, anxiety, depression, BPD, ocd and anorexia for most of my life (all of this is diagnosed by a professional) now I can't say all of it is his fault, but I can say the second man that abused me was only a couple of years ago, has scarred me, even now that I'm happily engaged to an amazing man, whenever he hugs me from behind my heart stops for a second, kissing my neck when I'm not prepared I get so scared for a quick second until I remember I'm safe. This shit is not just a quick bad thing that happens, this is life changing
my opinion on cheating is that the person your partner is using to cheat on you with is always innocent *unless* they're aware your partner is already in a relationship and still go through with it anyway
I agree getting with someone who you know is in a committed relationship isn't innocent, but even in that situation the person who is in the relationship bears more of the responsibility. It's a dick move to have sex with someone you know is cheating, but cheating itself is more than a dick move, it's knowingly hurting someone you're supposed to care about deeply, and breaking trust and agreed-upon rules that you discussed with someone who is meant to be one of the closest relationships in your life. Both are bad but one is a lot worse.
@@katelijnesommen the amount of responsibility the person being used to cheat with depends on how well you know them as a person if your partner cheats on you with your sibling or your closest friend then I'd say they both share an equal amount of responsibility, they both betrayed your trust and now you've not only lost one trusted friend but two trusted friends if it was your coworker then it would be awkward and difficult to try and get anything done with them at work, potentially making it harder for you to do your own work and could end up getting in trouble with a boss who doesn't care about your personal issues if it were a complete stranger then that's nowhere near as bad as the others as most likely you'll never see them again
This is how I see it: If two people break into a bank to rob it, and one is putting the bank notes in the bag while the other one looks out if anybody's watching them, they will still both be arrested and blamed. Did the lookout practically rob the bank? No. But they are equally as guilty.
@@90sHONEY not exactly a great analogy to start with, but even within this bad comparison the two people in your example would be getting different sentences if brought before a court, implying that they are not equally guilty.
Regarding assault not being as bad as other crimes (35:15) as a survivor, I spent years wishing I wasn't and trying to stop surviving. Furthermore, I would honestly prefer to be murdered outright than to have that happen again. People, don't downplay the trauma of being abused like this.
@@arielruby13 I'm sorry you had to go through that too. I wish I could say it all gets better, but the feelings don't always go away. Keep trying to surround yourself with good people, and know that people do care about you--even us randoms on the internet.
Similar experience. I'm a few years out and have made some steps towards healing, but even just making friends is so much more complicated than it used to be and I hate what the whole experience has done to me. Even now that I'm in an actually healthy relationship I still have my bad days, and navigating it all is a hell of a lot of work. Wish I could just switch the part of my brain that goes into survival mode off sometimes.
It's horrible how being traumatized can expose you to more trauma... I hope you're doing better! You still deserve to live well, no matter what you've had to survive and endure.

The craziest thing about the Civil War argument is...ok, so, it was about state rights. What right were they defending? Slavery. Even by your own argument you're wrong and disproven. Edit: Looked it up, Lil Tay was born in 2007. So, yeah uh...who's the one who's grooming kids?
When i was throwing a really bad tantrum and demonstratively hit the wardrobe wit my head my grandfather (Rest in peace, gramps) said "why so weak?" And hit it again wit my head so hard,so my mom gasped and i was stunned for a few seconds. I never threw a tantrum again, understanding why i was punished. I was like 8-9 at the time. The problem is not the punishment, but if the punished understands why they're punished. For the context i was rarely punished, especially with physical punishment. So i knew that if i was then i did something really wrong. If you violently punish kids for every single thing, then yes, its bad. Giving a spanking to a badly behaved kid is not. Most kids don't listen to the words and allowing them to do whatever they want is making them into entitled irresponsible adults. So i am for the existence of physical punishments, but not the excessive ones.
@@sairus3239 my experience and why I don’t believe spanking is reasonable: I was an undiagnosed,but still autistic child, my dad refused to get me tested even though I had more than 10 therapists between the ages of six and eight, Who told him I needed to be tested, I was just an insolent child to them. To them I was beyond reason even though they constantly bragged on me for getting high grades, I was in the quietness of our own house,a criminal, I would end up hitting my own head or clacking my wrist together,even though what I was having were autistic meltdowns. I was special-needs but, because the adults in my life we’re also mentally ill,I was also forced to be the adult in the room these adults would be having actual full on tantrum throwing shit, and screaming like banshees, and doing other clinically insane shit. Our neighbor Miss Marsha used to leave her kids at my Nanas door and when my Nana got sick I had to be responsible for them because no other adult in the house my dad and my Papa Billy were going to be responsible for them,as the adults. I was throwing these kids jackets in The dryer because it had rained, I watched them from the porch to make sure no one got hurt, if they did I provided first aid,I made them lunch sometimes dinner, admittedly it was usually easy Mac,and PB&J‘s for lunch or bologna sandwiches they always got a choice, For lunch or dinner. I grew up around drug addicts who used this type of logistical fallacy to justify,all they ever did to me. Spanking is bad. Because it is almost never a responsive form of punishment, it is reactive, it is you being frustrated with a child, and it’s not a reasonable punishment, no child is ever going to understand why you’re striking them, because when they’re young they don’t understand reason,and if they are old enough to understand reason, then reason with them. Children understand more than you can ever think they will, they have reasoning, and speaking literally, what for you could literally just be a random Tuesday could be an impactful moment of their life. The tiny humans are logical there is a method to the madness,even if that method is different than another child’s. Speaking of someone who was both spanked and beaten randomly sometimes twice for the same punishment, double Jeopardy was my childhood,as in being punished twice for the same “crime”, if the powers that be ever blessed me with children I will never hit them, I will pull their hands away for example if they were reaching for a hot pot on the stove or just reaching for the hot stove in general,I will be firm, but I will be kind. Blessed be, have a nice time zone, take care. And if you’ve read this far,thank you,it means a lot.
28:28 As someone who was bullied and SA'ed as a kid, I can tell you that bullying didn't help me at all, it did not stop me from wanting to unalive myself 😂
25:53 To be fair, kids who have girlfriends at 13 definitely do exist, and good for them if that's what they want. But it's quite astonishing that a (presumably) grown man can't tell the difference between a normal human interaction and the sexual harrassment of a kid.
Also, I don't know how it is elsewhere, but with social media being used by younger and younger kids... Kids can _think_ they want sexual stuff at that age, and can think it sounds exciting and cool. But they are still kids, and it's *_not_* okay to put that sort of situation on them by force. It's gruesomely overwhelming and scary and _confusing_ and traumatizing, and when faced with it _not_ something one wants. I do remember some boys when we were all about 11-13yo, who got to be with some of the older girls at school (14-16yo) who basically just humored them because it was fun how adoring they were. I'm sort of hoping that's the sort of situation he meant for himself when he mentioned being with women, if so, because at least if one party was only slightly older, it might not have been a situation of one party taking advantage of the other... In my classmates' case, the boys basically got to kiss those girls on the cheek and then giggled happily for days and thought they were the coolest ever. Not to even go into the whole tragedy of COCSA that can and does happen sometimes, though :( Basically, even if as an adult one recalls dreaming about it at a young age, that does _not_ mean that it actually would have been okay, even for them.
34:35 not only is this disgusting, it also minimizes other kinds of trauma. Getting shot only lasts for a brief moment but you would definitely be traumatised by that, wouldn't you?
"What do you MEAN you're still paralyzed?? That car accident lasted like three seconds and it happened years ago! Stop being dramatic and start walking. You need to get over it."
25:29 I really hope that poor kid gets so much support and care. What an awful situation and then the reactions on top 🤢 I don’t care what gender is involved, a child is a child. The should ALWAYS be protected from abuse and harm. I’m a survivor of SA too. It’s still way too common, and the recidivism and under-reporting is NOT ok.
The craziest part about the 19yo who is being sued by the cops for defamation is that the 19yo probably wouldn't be able to sue the cops because of qualified immunity. I don't think the lawsuit will go anywhere because all he did was post videos as proof of what happened. No defamation there.
@@MissCandyTattoo Yea technically, but judges usually do not give a crap in those cases because most of them think that police officers “can do no wrong”, mainly since officers and judges both work for the justice system, and both sides are often corrupt.
15:36 quick reminder that jokes and pranks are not supposed to harm or traumatise anyone. If they do then that is called an attack/abuse not a prank. It absolutely boggles my mind that there are grown adults (assuming the people in his post were adults as they are apparently old enough to travel to Thailand without adult supervision) who really need to be told this!
If they wanted to do something similar then they could have just filled a ziplock bag with Tylenol or allergy pills or something. It'd still look like drugs, but it'd clearly be medicine. Pills have little numbers or codes stamped in them, so if someone checked them they would be able to tell what the pills are. But it probably still would have been better to not prank their friend at all
@@MoodyMickeyyeah a better thing to do would be to not use the threat of authority on someone for any reason. A prank that involves authorities and enforcers of laws or regulations is not a prank at all, as all you're doing is giving those officers ammunition with which to abuse their authority to harass and demean or even detain or assault the victim of your unscrupulous asininity.
The fact that they did it specifically in Thailand also boggles my mind, as they're - at least the last time I checked - kinda well-known for having some pretty strict drug laws and a police force that isn't exactly gentle when it comes to enforcing them. It's a shitty thing to do anywhere in the world, but it's even shittier in certain countries (Japan, and probably also a lot of the middle east are other examples where this could literally fuck up your life, or worse).
40:22 "My parents had no respect for me as a person and used physical violence to train to fear speaking up for myself or choose my actions based on how I will be punished and not based on how it will affect others involved." If your idea of, "respect," is based in, "if I don't treat people a certain way I'll get the shit beat out of me," instead of, "if I donxt treat people a certain way then it probably affects that peraon negatively and makes me an asshole," then that's not, "respect for others," that's a trauma response.
As someone who is legally blind, i was thinking the braille thing was really nice, what click said. Then I realized two things- 1. Braille dots on a stove probably would not be the best idea and 2. I may not be very bright lol
The story abt the thirteen year old boy being assaulted is legit so sad. It makes me have much less faith in humanity. The fact that people would say sh!t against the victim for not enjoying it is horrific. I’m thirteen and have had horrible things done to me as a kid and if someone said that sh!t to me I would lose it. I hope that kid is doing well now.
24:09 Pharmacy Technician here. The reason this happened is when we type prescriptions certain codes populate long directions faster using medical notation. The medical notation for "ear" is the letter A and the medical notation for "left" is S because Latin. Thus AS is "in the left ear" and since "as" is an English word, for example in "as needed" pharmacy systems not coded optimally will change "as needed" to "in left ear needed"
Fun fact, there is actually a way a pound doesnt equal a pound. Precious metals are weighed using the troy system, which has heavier ounces but only 12 ounces to a pound, so a troy pound is less than a regular pound. Hence assuming the pound of gold is referring to a troy pound, a pound of feathers indeed weighs more than a pound of gold.
@@Griggle25652 Which also comes into play here, though. If you don't specify, it will be assumed you're using the same unit each time. And troy pound is not the same unit as avoirdupois pound.
For me, a pound of feathers will always weigh more, simply because you now have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor, defenseless bird, you monster
31:20 I love how the article's language is clearly on the side of the school too, by saying that the father "rages" (to make it seem like less rational anger) and puts "brainwash" in quotes to make it seem ridiculous lmao
35:20 by that logic, being stabbed is hardly a traumatic event, it barely takes any time to be stabbed with a knife, these people need to stop complaining about "bleeding" and "pain" and "death"...
I'm always amazed by people who choose a high-maintenance person then complain they're high-maintenance, or a party-goer then complain they're always partying, etc. etc.
I was in the hospital (foot injury) when the emergency alert went off. And you could hear it from every phone and internet device all up and down the ward. Must have been over a hundred devices going off all at once. In just my ward. Dozens of wards per floor, 15 stories up, how did I get out alive? How did so much exposure to "the frequency" not just melt all of our guts into puddles?
I remember when I got in trouble at like 14 years old and it had been a few years since I had been in big enough trouble to get punished in any way. My dad came to me and was like "you're too old for a spanking, right??" and I was like "uhh.. yeah :/" I think he had realized you can't spank the ADHD out of a kid and was relieved the boomer experiment had finally failed so he had an excuse to stop. do not hit your kids; if they are old enough to reason why they are being hit they are old enough to reason with about what they are doing wrong. if you can't reason with them, you have other issues that violence will not solve.
I never understand the people who say "I was spanked and I turned out fine!" It's like... you think it's okay to hit children, Chadley. You're obviously NOT fine. I'm glad your dad finally stopped doing that to you, though. Hitting a kid is only going to teach them to be afraid of you and get really good at hiding what they're doing.
@@kriscynicalor will build resentment, or sparkle rebelion, or teach the child that violence is the way to achieve your goals, or it is a way to show love, or teach how to stiffle emotions....The list goes on and on. "Yes Steve, you are fine, you are not In jail, have a job and family, but your kids visit you only when they have to, you don't talk to your wife if it doesn't concern anything more important than dinner and you punched a whole In the Wall. Go you".
@@PaniPunia Yep, yep, yep, and... (checks notes) yep. It's amazing how many people are productive members of society with healthy respect and compassion/empathy for other people WITHOUT being hit by their parents! You'd think that's impossible by listening to the doorstops who swear by corporal punishment.
People talk as though one slap when a kid's being a total brat on purpose trying to see how far they can push the boundaries is in the same order as your father taking a belt to you on the regular for no reason.
I saw an episode of criminal minds once, where the mother of the murderer refused to admit that her child would kill anyone, and the FBI guys chalked it up to her "Southern Pride." I'm a Wisconsinite, but I can definitely say my parents (especially my dad) suffer from southern pride syndrome. I have (uncomfirmed) adhd and it is extremely difficult to get things done sometimes. I have screamed at my dad that I hate him because of a fight that was caused by me being distracted from chores by a loose shoelace (no shoe attached). So yeah, I totally feel you when it comes to "spanking out the ADHD".
14:38 It turned out not to be the teenager, it was some older guy who was angry he’d been evicted from a local farm. He was a professional tree feller too, I think, so why he took it out on this beautiful old tree is a mystery.
The sad thing about the emergency alarm testings though is that they have probably exposed people who had secret phones hidden from abusive partners or family members. I saw a lot of posts circulating the weeks before the UK and the US testings that encouraged people to try and find places where they could hide the phones where they couldn't be heard (eg a friend's house) -- especially the second round for the ones in the US, since there were rumors that shutting the phone off failed for a lot of people on the UK and the phones turned back on for the alarm. I'm not technical enough to know how that would work, but before smartphones I had a phone that I had turned off, but it still set off the morning alarm, so I would not be surprised if there's still some feature in modern phones that prevents from a "total" shut off. I hope people found solutions in time so they could stay safe...
NOKIA3410, THE BEST PHONE THAT EVER EXISTED! I still have mine, it's just not able to connect anymore because 2G antenas are gone in my country. But I can still play Snake2! LOL!
If you are able to, take out the battery. If not, try making it lose all charge, by repeatedly turning the phone back on when it dies until it refuses to turn on. That's the best alternative I got
@@gabef.218 Now when you mention it I think when i reblogged a post about it during the second wave I did mention something similar might be an option if possible. I do know I lamented that one cannot remove the battery on modern phones
Yeah, most smartphones don't fully turn off ever these days, and I think it's been a thing since flip phones, it's basically an emergency feature to make sure alarms (including emergency alarms) still work, while the phone being "off" conserves energy (this is also why a phone will lose charge while it sits off at a faster rate then if the battery were outside of the phone)
@@pffffggg I'm glad I could give you a smile! It's okay to not feel okay (although I know how horrible it feels, you have nothing to be guilty for about experiencing suffering), and you're right. Things will only grow better, after something like this. There can be so much suffering... but even when you're really scared that you might never feel better, just know that with time comes constant change in different ways, and so eventually the change necessary to _help_ you will come, too. Just something I found comforting, when I was going through a very rough time, and knew that it would be better but only in a couple of years from then (in my case). I really really really wish for you that you get to enjoy many moments of calmness, peace, serenity, and comforting things like blankets, favorite shows, and hugs. The world has many soft and nice things that can be comforting to surround yourself with when everything feels particularly rough.
23:57 I live in the US, Click, and _I struggle_ to tell what is parody and what is real when listening to the news anymore. The satirical literally-fake-newspaper, "The Onion," has started to look believable. Issues of "The Onion" that I read back in the early 1990s look like they could be real now. I really hate this timeline.
32:24 what's frustrating is that they're _so_ close to understanding the actual mechanisms at play. The _actual_ reason you may be lactose intolerant is because you aren't a _baby_ , whether human, cow, or just about any mammalian species, and you haven't inherited a genetic mutation that allows you to continue production of lactase enzymes past infancy. A lactose intolerant adult human won't tolerate human milk much if any better than cow milk, any more than an adult cow can tolerate cow milk. 🤦
1:15 I like how this old person thinks it's a "gotchya" moment but in reality they're actually insulting themself because they're pointing out a housing crisis that their generation caused. I feel so sorry for that poor 13 year old boy who is being mocked for being s*xu*lly assaulted by a grown woman. He's not "lucky" for being groped and he's not weak for being traumatized, he's not ready for that contact with anyone in general. Just because it's not a little girl doesn't mean that the victims are weak. Male victims deserve to be heard, comforted, and to see justice brought to those who did them wrong. This is a huge thing I advocate for. Male s*xual ab*se victims need to be heard just as much as female victims need to be heard.
20:51 fun fact the microwave rays being bad is a real thing BUT The mesh of microwave oven doors is designed with this in mind. Microwaves can’t fit through the pin-prick holes, so they bounce off the door and back into the box
it’s always so weird to me how mad people get when a grown adult they have no control over says a swear word. i remember people getting mad at thomas sanders for saying the word “fuck” in a video (he was singing a song from heathers, a show that isn’t family friendly to begin with). why does it concern these folks?
They also insist swearing is the mark of a limited mind, but actual psychological study says the opposite. Swearing can be an indicator of higher intelligence. It's also an exceptional form of stress relief.
The Lauren Bobert sign is a reference to her and a male friend being belligerent and also VERY handsy at a musical recently. It was so bad she got kicked out.
37:37 yeah that made me a little furious. And you really hit the nail on the head with your response. I watched my active and healthy dad waste away in the span of 8 months. Just saying that cancer is "god deciding it's your time :)" is a kick in the face to anyone whose lost a loved one.
I remember my mother talking about how her lab was using tularemia as a base mRNA delivery vector for brain cancer treatment because it was good at passing the blood-brain barrier. also good news she was fired from her position as head of safety in the lab because everyone complained how much she would enforce lab safety rules "too strictly". Like it was her job or something.
@@renfcook O shoot my bad tularemia was what the other lab in her building was researching. Her lab was using modified herpes. Lol Image using one of the highest fatality rate diseases for that kind of study. Nah though the other lab did manage to make a modified variant of tularemia that is 150 times more virulent in spread from cell to cell in the name of designing effective late stage treatments for it.
Or maybe your worried about the safety rules she was "too stricted" about in the shared lab space with the tularemia research. Just things like not using a fume hood when mixing reagents that generate fumes. No properly utilizing or disposing of rubber gloves. Not washing hands when leaving one lab room and going to another (this is the one people complained about most) to prevent cross contamination. Not cleaning up your work station at the end of the day in again what is a shared lab space. And a few other basic lab safety things you think would only needed to be told to high school students there first time running through chemistry class.
That blood-brain barrier one was a hoot! Context for those who don't know: The blood-brain barrier is a thin membrane filled with capillaries that supplies blood to the brain and spinal cord, so according to that post, people would be dropping dead from strokes/intercranial bleeds from just turning on their routers.
That warning about the emergency alert had an unintentional good consequence though. The alert was a danger to people who are in abusive situations and have emergency phones that they are keeping secret (Ie, the alert could have given away the existence of the phones, and put abuse victims in danger. The signal came through even if phones were on silent and notifications were turned off.) The warnings convinced people to turn off their phones, and maybe a few more victims survived. Same situation with the Amish guys. Their old order church district was not just strict, but abusive. They were trying to escape. Some of the stricter groups use cult tactics to keep people from leaving. Those phones had been smuggled to them, and the signal gave away not only the fact that they had phones, but also their intentions. One of the victims was forced to smash his phone in front of the church elders so they could be assured nobody else could use it. Very dangerous situation, and those guys may not be able to escape now.
I think people are so used to the Amish being seen as the "weird old fashioned folk who keep to themselves" that people either forget or don't realize how cult-like many of their practices are, and how horrible shunning is
My hands were my best friends when I was a kid, ironically. They were twins both named Evi and all I remember is that the left one was evil most of the time 😂
OK ME TOO i had a whole drama going on with my fingers, thumb finger always bullied pinkie and ring finger was the pretty older sister, middle was the dad and pointy finger was the mom.
This, when I was bored I'd just have my hands put on a play of whatever my ears were listening to. My right hand has become the most expressive but also the most angry twat of my body. It is teaching my left how to use chopsticks though like a good sibling should.
The microwave one reminded me of something funny my dad's wife believed (and probably still does) about microwaves. She refuses to own a microwave because the radiation can cause cancer. I got curious about the different types of radiation and Googled microwave radiation. I learned that the mesh on the window of the microwave is to keep the radiation inside the machine and that the waves are too weak to penetrate our skin (or something like that, this was seven years ago). I told her all this and she asked "well, what about if you have a cut?" I gave up after that question. I also learned that day that improperly shielded microwaves can interfere with your wifi signal
Yes, it's always those kind of people, how do I know? I'm related to them, just one example: my mother complains about immigrant not speaking the language well enough after living here 2-5 years. She's an immigrant of almost 30 years, who refused to learn to speak the language, her excuse being she's not that kind of immigrant and her language is similar enough it can be categorised as a dialect... a dialect that half the people in this country does not understand....
@@bouncycomix as a european who moved to another european country, that's sadly a phrase i got to hear too often, when people got had strong opinions on the immigration situation. like "oh i don't mean your kind of immigrants"
I had a neighbor who traded s3x for drugs but told each guy their relationship was exclusive. The fights were SO predictable that when the last one started, I waited the exact right amount of time to call the cops knowing when she would pull the gun and how long it would take the cops to arrive. Long story short it looked to all the world that she pulled the gun on the cops because she started waving it at the stairs just as they got to the top of the staircase. She got arrested and evicted.
Being a citizen of the U.S. and a supporter of free speech, I'm all for people being able to say what they want, even if I don't like what they say. However, some people should learn that not everything that comes to mind needs to be communicated. For instance, that campaign billboard.
I'm pretty sure that sign was created by people who are not fans of Boebert, but even so, some things should just not be written down. Especially in public. I pulled into a spot in a parking lot yesterday and the car next to me had a sticker that said "Gas, Grass, or A$$, nobody rides free" with pictures of a gas can, pot leaf and a woman's behind wearing a thong. Sure, I get the humor in the campaign sign and I know some people who would think the car sticker was hilarious, but I feel sorry for people with really young kids that are starting to read; they're just trying to get through their errands when they have to answer a question from their 7 y.o. about what a woman's behind has to do with getting a ride and figure out a truthful, but age appropriate answer on the fly. I swear I'm not an old lady even though I sound like it and I know we just have to accept that some people choose to prominently display adult jokes in public, but it would be really nice if they chose not to.
I'm pretty sure that billboard is in reference to her openly groping her date at that theater a few weeks ago and letting him grope her in return. On a first date at a musical that's family friendly so there were kids everywhere in the audience.
That's why other countries will have freedom of _expression_ rather than of speech, it's essentially the same, but it forbids people from deliberately insulting or verbally abusing others simply because they want to, which I find a better solution overall, to be honest
I'm at the end of the spectrum of age for Millennials and for me "spanking" was more of a sexual thing that a "punish children" thing in my mind from a surprisingly young age, so clearly things have changed. Doesn't mean the kink is gone though!
I'll never understand that. I was spanked as a kid,and that's something I'd never want to do with a partner, giving or recieving. It just seems like an absolute mood killer.
The Confederacy thought it was very important to take away states' right to not allow slavery. No matter how badly we think Confederate apologists fail history, they're always somehow even worse.
No. It was states rights in general. That was the war. Slavery was just the battleground. It could have been any hot button issue that triggered it, it just happened that slavery was the big one at the time.
@@xyex No. No issue was even remotely close to being as 'hot button' as slavery. All of the South's demands trace back to their insistence on owning humans. The Confederacy even demanded that individual States not be allowed to ban slavery, so 'State's Rights' is revisionist B.S. The Civil War was about slavery.
@@xyex Ah, yes. Just a coincidence that an agrarian society built off of slave labor was fighting for states' rights to own and exploit people for money. Definitely a coincidence that the South's use of slave labor specifically had been causing tensions between the North and the South for decades before the Civil War. Could have been anything, really. This isn't an excuse to make the Confederates seem reasonable and in the right for looking after their own interest to own people and make them work for free in inhumane conditions. Not to mention the torture!
To avoid venting, I will leave these words only. I was spanked as a child. It did not teach me respect. It taught me to fear and hate all of humanity, for the only humans I'd known, the ones closest to me, my own family, could not be trusted.
Suing like that is usually a monetary attack. They're figuring that their pockets are deeper than his family's, so they sue to scare the family into dropping charges or else lose all their money fighting the lawsuit(s).
33:43 this happened to a mate of mine! She lives in yee-yee country (aka Texas), and her “good Christian” parents sent her to an all girl’s camp for “raising women right”. Turns out this “bible camp” was headed by a nun, who was a lesbian, and who taught these young girls the basics of life. In between cooking lessons and being taught how to sew by hand, they were also taught about LGBTQ stuff, as well as the basics of self defense (my friend cited this lesson whilst telling me about using a pintail comb for self defense, lol). My mate left that camp feeling better than ever, and had the nun’s phone number in case she ever needed help.
A Friend told me a "not my friend anymore" story. He went on a rafting trip with a few friends. The instructor said: We will meet a few briges, stay away from the pilars of the bridges for the turmoil there will pull you down. They were two and two in inflatable boats. One of the dude wanted so bad to know what would happen that he headed directly to the first brige pillar. The inflatable boat was sucked down from the middle, folding itself in two and trapping the guys by their legs. They were sucked under some sort of concrete Platform. Luckily for the guy that found out that way, he has to choose his friends differently; the streem was fast, and they could resurface downstreem quickly enough to survive.
I turned out all right, except for the homicidal fantasies that started at 10, having a giant black hole memory wise of things that happened with that person was around for the most part, and yeah, emotional regulation problems... fun
20:03 The blood brain barrier is something that really exists. If I remember correctly it is a system of harder to pass cell walls with specific transporters that are able to get stuff into the brain that is needed, but keep substances that would be harmful out. However, substances like alcohol and caffein are able to cross the blood brain barrier, even though they are not really necessary in the brain.
Just to confirm: I looked it up and what I remembered was correct. What id like to add is, that it also can keep bacteria out of the brain, in case of a sepsis.
Yeah ! I know it has to be taken into account for certain medications like anti-depressants. For some people, lower doses of AD won't be effective at all because it won't be able to pass through the barrier and actually access the brain !
Fun for those out of touch with American politics: The Lauren Boebert billboard is likely satire (physically real or not--it's not from her campaign). The better part is that it's because she was filmed vaping and getting to second base with a guy while attending a packed performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical. Our country is a trash fire with googly eyes.
And if you've seen that video, you now know that neither of those people should be left unsupervised around another person's private parts. Seriously. She's pawing at his crotch like she's trying to get a coin out from between the couch cushions, and he squeezes her boob like he expected it to make a honking noise. Horny teenagers the world over can feel better now, knowing that their clumsy, barely successful groping of one another in the back of a cinema WASN'T the most incompetent sexual experience that has ever occurred.
Also, it's was a family event/all ages event and the lights didn't get turned down. She was having a good time with her boyfriend in full view of the public.
Fun fact: there are certain frequencies of sound outside human hearing that can have noticeable effect on the human body, but they can't really be made by phone microphones. A human eyeballs' resonant frequency is somewhere around 18-19 Hz (too low for human hearing). If you have something in the environment like a large fan generating waves in the range, your eyes might start vibrating and therefore see stuff that isn't there.
Why is it that you can find find just one faucet of someone being a bad person, then whip out a checklist and immediately get so many ticks. 1. Anti LGBT 2. Is into kids on their own public posts Like it always happens, just keep it in mind to check throughout your own daily life and it will actually astound you.

37:28 Modern medicine is amazing. husband had an aggressive oral cancer and got the top of his mouth/teeth chopped out to resolve it. He has a prosthetic mouthpiece that fits perfectly for him to resume life taking/eating/drinking successfully. He also has lymphoma that went to his CNS last yr & caused a lot of neuro issues (profound hearing loss, inability to walk, could hardly string a sentence together, nearly went blind, ++) -- now all that is controlled with BTK inhibitor & he's back to normal. he has lung cancer, got radiation tx, tumor shrunk and no longer growing. Anyone who thinks they're better off without cancer treatment, I hope somebody changes ur mind bc oh my god, we're so lucky to have treatments
11:01 Can we just all agree that Abigail Thorn is utterly amazing in every way and deserves not only all the success and praise she's gotten, but a whole lot more (success and praise) besides?
Just goes to show what Geordies can do when they apply themselves 😜. In seriousness, she is pretty great. I have a feeling the success will keep coming her way.
Had to have a deep conversation about someone who honestly thinks children should be beaten. Like they truly think fear is the same as respect. And truly think such high anxiety you get ulcers is just natural and not simply the reality in which we are forced to live. Not the same things at all.

@@Chib_Lee I taught middle school and high school.
I know better, but parents don't want to hear it.
Don't think your teachers don't know what is going on though.
We don't look at your with the "not my baby" blinders parents have.
We just care more about what goes into your heads.
I hate, hate, HATE, when other men shame and belittle male sexual assault / harassment victims! Men will NEVER be weak for not wanting to be touched or talked to in a sexual way without prior consent. Those are completely normal things to want and expect from other people.
Men like that one dude replying to the tweet about the drunk dental assistant girl are the reason why male victims never want to speak out. Like why are they seemingly incapable of feeling sympathy for one of their fellow men who just had to go through something absolutely horrifying and life altering?
Almost all of us women will ALWAYS support other women if they go through that, and almost all of us also give our full support to men who have had to go through that. Mainly because, unfortunately, we have most likely had to go through that as well since the percentage of women who have been sexually assaulted in one way or another is very high.
But to any male victims who might be reading this, you are valid, you are strong, and you deserve to be supported and validated for what you had to endure, whether it be by the hands of a man or a woman. Please stay strong, and just know that even if everyone else is against you, I will be standing with you. Which I know probably doesn’t mean much since I’m a random UA-cam commenter, but I hope it can at least comfort you a bit knowing that at least one person in the world will always support you 🫶
Agreeing with all of this! I'm a woman but I know what it's like when literally 0 sources mention your sort of situation, even when spreading awareness about the same type of abuse. It can feel so isolating, and can make you feel like what you went through doesn't really matter, or isn't "real" enough to be considered, but what you went through _was_ real. It's okay to feel however you feel about it. You are not weak for feeling emotional pain.
I'd honestly even claim that living with pain and still not hurting others, is the strongest thing a person can be forced to do. But letting those around you know what happened is not the same as burdening them or hurting them, and you do not need to carry it alone. You are no less of a man/woman/person for what someone else did to you, and you did not deserve it.
// Writing this as someone who experienced girl-on-girl COCSA, so yeah, I've never seen any general source mention this type of abuse, or even COCSA-inclusive wording in general (it's always mentioning an adult taking advantage of a child, or adult-on-adult, sigh).
Let's also remember that _men cannot get erect at will_ … it's all involuntary nerves. So he can be into you, want you, _and_ DtF, but _still_ not get hard - a situation that's far more common than you'd believe. The converse, therefore, is also true: it's possible for a guy to get hard withouth wanting to have s3x. Yet there is this assumption that "hard-on==consent." It doesn't.
Which means that a guy _can also_ be r@p3d while not being penetrated.
Now, that form of sexual assault on a man isn't going to be anywhere near as frequent or commonplace as sexual assault on women. But like you said, 'frequency of occurrence," and who the victim is doesn't make it "okay" or "not _really_ assault._ If there's no explicit verbal consent, there is not consent, and it is therefore nonconsentual. Sad that we need to say, "To be clear: water is wet," but this is the timeline we're living on…
When I was 15 my best friend's mom (37 at the time) began SAing me. It continued for most of a year before she tried to stab her son for telling her to leave me alone. He went to my parents at that point and the police were called. This was in the mid 90s before the passage of several laws, and after she was found "psychologically unfit to stand trial" she was just released back out into the world. Meanwhile I was being berated by my uncle for "not admitting she didn't SA me because I liked it".
So thank you for your comment.
This means a lot, thank you

"No she's not! She's just had a cold and that's why her voice is raspy!"

Considering this is always the part that appears to be missing in *every* zombie pandemic movie out there, I would really want to see it. For scientific reasons.
This is where we need the zeitgeist to go

I will never understand how target selling a pride t shirt is "grooming kids at their most impressionable stage", but forcing your kid to go to church and sunday School, say prayers/blessings, etc. is somehow different.

“showing a gay relationship isn’t age appropriate!”
*shows a straight relationship to their toddler*
@@lilharm The way they think of it is that gay relationships are inherently sexual. Because any time they think of queer people, they think about how their sex is or their bodies look like. So they assume that their toddler child will be groomed by gay relationships.
Meanwhile they're the only ones who are thinking that, and their toddlers don't care. I grew up not even knowing what the word gay was and only ever watching hetero relationships, but I'd obsessively ship girl characters together in my kids' movies. I didn't think about them having sex, I thought about them kissing or holding hands or hugging.

1:19 this basically translates to: „We fucked up the economy so bad that we ruined the lives of our children and grandchildren. Lmao get bent.“
Honestly, I was so annoyed by this post because of the fact that no boomer would ever be able to buy a house in this economy either, they got theirs, plus a couple more for like $20, and jacked up the price 350x over.
I actually managed to buy an apartment and not bankrupt myself, but I looked at its original sale price on the record, in 1989. It was like, maybe 10k in today's money 💀
Yeah, it strikes me as being sorta like saying:
"Ok, boomer."
"Yeah, whatever. I raped your sister."
Like, that's really not the comeback you think it is...
Honestly, I thought the comeback was pretty funny because it acknowledges that it is harder for us to buy a house.
It’s only a victory if you lack empathy, self-awareness, critical thinking, foresight…you know, all the traits and skills that distinguish a decent human from a literal chimpanzee.
Gotta respect the "ok renter" Comeback, but if anyone ever uses it on you just tell them you're waiting for the parasites that ruined the house market to die off while looking them in the eyes
If a boomer used that on me, I'd just say, "ok economy destroyer" or "ok wealth inheritor"
"I'll be able to afford a home when you finally die"
🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Why is it always the same people?"
Because they think calling it sexualizing makes it sound more morally superior to get more people on their side and it sounds better to to "Don't make the children gay, then it'll be harder for me to frick them."
Seriously that's the big concern is people take away the objects of their desire. They don't actually care about the children as you'll find the same sort of people are also against supporting and taking care of them. "That's socialism!"
Also because accusing others draws the attention away from themselves. In the US during all the conservative outrage over "groomers" there has been complete radio silence about the ongoing church abuse scandals, the numerous Republican officials caught preying on minors, the states that fought to preserve child labor and child marriage, and the anti-trans bills that allow for the inspection of children's bodies.

Same, as a fellow survivor of SA and SH, I can confirm this as well.
My perpetrator is in my class. The only reason I'm even able to attend school is because I went to therapy and school was willing to schedule us into different groups so we'll share minimal amount of classes. I made a report months ago but police haven't even contacted me.

I live in Texas and my first introduction to The Civil War was my fifth grade teacher telling us it happened "for economic reasons" and not to free the slaves. I believed the teacher until maybe high school when I learned more and understood the entire economy of the South was run by slaves. I think about that a lot now that I'm in my 30s, educated with a doctorate, not racist or a bigot, but surrounded by them. 😞
I was born in the PNW and civil was presented as a war to free the slaves but it was treated as a foreign affair over in the far east. Slavery was seen as a kin to the Holocaust, horrible thing that we found against but it is also far away issue. Japanese internment and chinese "endentured laborers" were seen as the local sin.
Ironically i moved to the deep south in 2022, and the local civil war museum has every reference to slavery highlighted in every CSA state declaration of independence and state constitutions. And the proprietor of the museum forces everyone to read them before seeing the rest of the museum.
Where in Texas are you from? I'm from Texas and was never taught this way at my schools. Don't get me wrong, not everything in history class was accurate, but it wasn't like this

What makes it even more hilarious is that Iowa is a 1 party consent state. That means that he was well within his rights to record them, on top of his First Amendment rights in regards to free speech. Even if he was talking about them in a negative light, defamation is incredibly hard to prove, as it requires proving the INTENT behind the act, as well. It's both hilarious and sad that they think they have a case.
Something like that could be considered a SLAPP suit, but even without a legitimate case, they could still pile legal bills on the poor kid, which more often than not would result in the cops getting what they want out of a settlement or the kid's finances slowly being bled dry as the case drags on, and that's regardless of who wins.

Even worse, the local police union will use their influence and legal resources to back those cops, even when they are clearly in the wrong.

The feathers are heavier. You have to deal with the guilt of what you did to those poor birds.
In the American legal system, lawsuits are often used to intimidate people and drain them of funds; even if you're in the right, legal defense can get expensive, so some people, particularly those with money/influence, just use the law against people who don't have the time or money to deal with it.

I was a young boy and was subjected to SA by my much older babysitter (I was six and she was 17 when it started).
And the few people I told when it happened called me a liar (she wouldn't do that, stop being sick), told me how cool/manly I was (nice, was she hot?), or outright called a pervert and told I was probably just fantasizing over her.
I suffered years of identity issues and frustration over my own sexuality because of what she did to me. Plus I spiraled into addiction for a few years, and that was so hard. Depression will make people do crazy things, and su*cide is the scariest feeling to think acceptable for an outcome.
I've been wearing makeup and skirts since I was 12, and I wanted to be a lesbian until around the age of 16/17. Couldn't have any meaningful relationships with girls since most girls are not into feminine goth boys that are into weird kinky stuff (it wasn't as acceptable in the 90's for straight boys to wear eyeliner and a lacy short skirt with spiked leather boots and stuff).
And I am still a huge weirdo! I still love makeup, I wear it more than my partner.
But therapy did help.
I just wish more of the adults in my life cared enough to listen when I was crying for help.
I would have turned out very different, to be sure!
The blood-brain barrier is actually a thing. It's a protective mechanism, effectively, but it means that certain substances, medications etc cannot cross from the bloodstream into the cells of the brain, because the lining of the blood vessels in the brain differs from that in the blood vessels in the rest of the body. As a result, it acts like a filter, keeping out most viruses, bacteria, other pathogens and toxins, and many medications.
So a gate/barrier that allows good stuff in bad stuff out.
Yep, and WiFi does nothing to it. I hate when people learn a science thing and immediately make it part of their conspiracy theory.
@@Quinnaka Mostly. It's more like a filter that reduces the chance of big things getting in. But yeah, that's the intention, anyway, it's to more tightly control the balance of things in the brain because the function is so vital.
@@hyenaedits3460 Absolutely. I trained as a medical microbiologist and the amount of fuckwittery that I've seen - especially over the last 3.5 years - has been absolutely painful to see.
To add to that, there's also a gut-blood barrier that does the same from contents of the stomach towards the circulatory system, however that one is much less selective. Though if that one gets broken, say by an infection, bad things will still happen like expected.
spoiler alert! that "psychological disorder known as respecting others" is actually most likely fawning! it's a trauma response, in the same vein as fight, flight, and freeze. it's when the victim appeases to others to extreme extents, sacrificing their own safety and comfort in order to meet their standards, or even ones the victim has set themselves. these self set standards are usually incredibly extreme as well, and being unable to meet these standards often causes severe psychological distress.

@@naolucillerandom5280 Boo.
To be fair, in the police-suing-the-kid example, the law regarding defamation in the United States DOES recognize truth of the alleged defamatory accusations as an absolute defense. The real issue is that you can file a lawsuit against anyone regardless of merit, and then they have to pay a lawyer to defend themselves, while the police have infinite YOUR money to spend on theirs. They're not hoping to win in court, they're hoping to grind him down OUTSIDE until he can't go on and then they either extort a settlement or win a default judgment.
I'd aim for immediate dismissal of the suit and/or try to get it transferred to another district, plus countersue.
The thing is, the defamation suit is because the kid put the cop on blast for having domestic violence charges and still being allowed to be a cop LMAO

North-Oh crap, you guys produce so many raw goods. You can't leave! Also we're telling all your people they're free now because it will really mess up your economy.

@sarahr8311, I agree with your post.
I don't think it was as cut-and-dried as either side makes it seem. I'm sure there were moral warriors trying to dismantle slavery, but the story that's being drowned is that the Fed Gov made multiple states do what the Fed Gov decided, for tax purposes. With the Fed Gov going to war for profit (proxy or not) and sticking its nose into issues that can make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding people (unproven vaccines, 1st-Amendment tyranny, 420 still being schedule-1 nationwide, etc.)... These are the reasons that someone in the unaffiliated center, like myself, could see there being nuance to the Civil War without just saying, "Duh, Southerners were ALL racist enough to fight for unpaid workers."
Yes, there was propaganda on both sides, as there is now. I'd simply encourage people to suspend their belief in either side presented (in whatever public story) until you have information that proves something concrete. I am a person who enjoys conspiracy stuff, but doesn't commit to anything unproven. What has been proven is that people in power will do stuff for more power or to keep power. Remember that the strongest broadcast of information typically has to go through the checkpoints made by people in power.
They're the same thing. Name one case of "States' Rights" that wasn't a specific State's right to take rights away from specific citizens. The only times I've seen the subject come up so far have been fights against the 14th amendment, which tells local governments to treat everyone the same, no matter their race or sex.
Correct.
If you go into detail,its much more complex then just "slavery should be legal/illegal"

my opinion on cheating is that the person your partner is using to cheat on you with is always innocent *unless* they're aware your partner is already in a relationship and still go through with it anyway
I agree getting with someone who you know is in a committed relationship isn't innocent, but even in that situation the person who is in the relationship bears more of the responsibility. It's a dick move to have sex with someone you know is cheating, but cheating itself is more than a dick move, it's knowingly hurting someone you're supposed to care about deeply, and breaking trust and agreed-upon rules that you discussed with someone who is meant to be one of the closest relationships in your life. Both are bad but one is a lot worse.
@@katelijnesommen the amount of responsibility the person being used to cheat with depends on how well you know them as a person
if your partner cheats on you with your sibling or your closest friend then I'd say they both share an equal amount of responsibility, they both betrayed your trust and now you've not only lost one trusted friend but two trusted friends
if it was your coworker then it would be awkward and difficult to try and get anything done with them at work, potentially making it harder for you to do your own work and could end up getting in trouble with a boss who doesn't care about your personal issues
if it were a complete stranger then that's nowhere near as bad as the others as most likely you'll never see them again
This is how I see it: If two people break into a bank to rob it, and one is putting the bank notes in the bag while the other one looks out if anybody's watching them, they will still both be arrested and blamed. Did the lookout practically rob the bank? No. But they are equally as guilty.

When i was throwing a really bad tantrum and demonstratively hit the wardrobe wit my head my grandfather (Rest in peace, gramps) said "why so weak?" And hit it again wit my head so hard,so my mom gasped and i was stunned for a few seconds. I never threw a tantrum again, understanding why i was punished. I was like 8-9 at the time.
The problem is not the punishment, but if the punished understands why they're punished. For the context i was rarely punished, especially with physical punishment. So i knew that if i was then i did something really wrong. If you violently punish kids for every single thing, then yes, its bad. Giving a spanking to a badly behaved kid is not.
Most kids don't listen to the words and allowing them to do whatever they want is making them into entitled irresponsible adults.

I was an undiagnosed,but still autistic child, my dad refused to get me tested even though I had more than 10 therapists between the ages of six and eight, Who told him I needed to be tested, I was just an insolent child to them.
To them I was beyond reason even though they constantly bragged on me for getting high grades, I was in the quietness of our own house,a criminal, I would end up hitting my own head or clacking my wrist together,even though what I was having were autistic meltdowns.
I was special-needs but, because the adults in my life we’re also mentally ill,I was also forced to be the adult in the room these adults would be having actual full on tantrum throwing shit, and screaming like banshees, and doing other clinically insane shit.
Our neighbor Miss Marsha used to leave her kids at my Nanas door and when my Nana got sick I had to be responsible for them because no other adult in the house my dad and my Papa Billy were going to be responsible for them,as the adults. I was throwing these kids jackets in The dryer because it had rained, I watched them from the porch to make sure no one got hurt, if they did I provided first aid,I made them lunch sometimes dinner, admittedly it was usually easy Mac,and PB&J‘s for lunch or bologna sandwiches they always got a choice, For lunch or dinner.
I grew up around drug addicts who used this type of logistical fallacy to justify,all they ever did to me.
Spanking is bad. Because it is almost never a responsive form of punishment, it is reactive, it is you being frustrated with a child, and it’s not a reasonable punishment, no child is ever going to understand why you’re striking them, because when they’re young they don’t understand reason,and if they are old enough to understand reason, then reason with them.
Children understand more than you can ever think they will, they have reasoning, and speaking literally, what for you could literally just be a random Tuesday could be an impactful moment of their life. The tiny humans are logical there is a method to the madness,even if that method is different than another child’s.
Speaking of someone who was both spanked and beaten randomly sometimes twice for the same punishment, double Jeopardy was my childhood,as in being punished twice for the same “crime”, if the powers that be ever blessed me with children I will never hit them, I will pull their hands away for example if they were reaching for a hot pot on the stove or just reaching for the hot stove in general,I will be firm, but I will be kind.
Blessed be, have a nice time zone, take care.
And if you’ve read this far,thank you,it means a lot.
28:28 As someone who was bullied and SA'ed as a kid, I can tell you that bullying didn't help me at all, it did not stop me from wanting to unalive myself 😂
I'm so sorry for what you had to go through, and can relate :( I hope you have found a supportive environment since then
@sugoish9461 thank you, I hope you did as well :)
I'm ok, I guess :)
glad you've successfully fought off that feeling so far. keep going! ❤
25:53 To be fair, kids who have girlfriends at 13 definitely do exist, and good for them if that's what they want. But it's quite astonishing that a (presumably) grown man can't tell the difference between a normal human interaction and the sexual harrassment of a kid.
And if he's telling the truth, those girls were most probably actually GIRLS, their age or younger, and not random full grown women.
Also, I don't know how it is elsewhere, but with social media being used by younger and younger kids... Kids can _think_ they want sexual stuff at that age, and can think it sounds exciting and cool. But they are still kids, and it's *_not_* okay to put that sort of situation on them by force. It's gruesomely overwhelming and scary and _confusing_ and traumatizing, and when faced with it _not_ something one wants.
I do remember some boys when we were all about 11-13yo, who got to be with some of the older girls at school (14-16yo) who basically just humored them because it was fun how adoring they were. I'm sort of hoping that's the sort of situation he meant for himself when he mentioned being with women, if so, because at least if one party was only slightly older, it might not have been a situation of one party taking advantage of the other... In my classmates' case, the boys basically got to kiss those girls on the cheek and then giggled happily for days and thought they were the coolest ever.
Not to even go into the whole tragedy of COCSA that can and does happen sometimes, though :( Basically, even if as an adult one recalls dreaming about it at a young age, that does _not_ mean that it actually would have been okay, even for them.
34:35 not only is this disgusting, it also minimizes other kinds of trauma. Getting shot only lasts for a brief moment but you would definitely be traumatised by that, wouldn't you?
"What do you MEAN you're still paralyzed?? That car accident lasted like three seconds and it happened years ago! Stop being dramatic and start walking. You need to get over it."

The craziest part about the 19yo who is being sued by the cops for defamation is that the 19yo probably wouldn't be able to sue the cops because of qualified immunity. I don't think the lawsuit will go anywhere because all he did was post videos as proof of what happened. No defamation there.
He can sue the department for wrongful arrest
@@MissCandyTattoo Yea technically, but judges usually do not give a crap in those cases because most of them think that police officers “can do no wrong”, mainly since officers and judges both work for the justice system, and both sides are often corrupt.
Hes allowed to counter-sue for the distress the lawsuite causes and expenses, but probably not for the actual arrest which is crazy.
I believe qualified immunity only applies to criminal charges. You can still be sued civilly for money damages.
15:36 quick reminder that jokes and pranks are not supposed to harm or traumatise anyone. If they do then that is called an attack/abuse not a prank.
It absolutely boggles my mind that there are grown adults (assuming the people in his post were adults as they are apparently old enough to travel to Thailand without adult supervision) who really need to be told this!
If they wanted to do something similar then they could have just filled a ziplock bag with Tylenol or allergy pills or something. It'd still look like drugs, but it'd clearly be medicine. Pills have little numbers or codes stamped in them, so if someone checked them they would be able to tell what the pills are. But it probably still would have been better to not prank their friend at all
@@MoodyMickeyyeah a better thing to do would be to not use the threat of authority on someone for any reason. A prank that involves authorities and enforcers of laws or regulations is not a prank at all, as all you're doing is giving those officers ammunition with which to abuse their authority to harass and demean or even detain or assault the victim of your unscrupulous asininity.
The fact that they did it specifically in Thailand also boggles my mind, as they're - at least the last time I checked - kinda well-known for having some pretty strict drug laws and a police force that isn't exactly gentle when it comes to enforcing them.
It's a shitty thing to do anywhere in the world, but it's even shittier in certain countries (Japan, and probably also a lot of the middle east are other examples where this could literally fuck up your life, or worse).

"My parents had no respect for me as a person and used physical violence to train to fear speaking up for myself or choose my actions based on how I will be punished and not based on how it will affect others involved."

24:09 Pharmacy Technician here. The reason this happened is when we type prescriptions certain codes populate long directions faster using medical notation. The medical notation for "ear" is the letter A and the medical notation for "left" is S because Latin. Thus AS is "in the left ear" and since "as" is an English word, for example in "as needed" pharmacy systems not coded optimally will change "as needed" to "in left ear needed"
Interesting, thanks for sharing random commenter
That is actually a hilarious system error, thank you
ah, another victim to the indiscriminate search and replace method.
Fun fact, there is actually a way a pound doesnt equal a pound. Precious metals are weighed using the troy system, which has heavier ounces but only 12 ounces to a pound, so a troy pound is less than a regular pound. Hence assuming the pound of gold is referring to a troy pound, a pound of feathers indeed weighs more than a pound of gold.
Another would be a pound as price since the weight could be any other unit (or even more/less pounds [as in weight])
@@SiffrinISAT I believe the comparison is operating under the assumption being you comparing weight specifically though.
Um, aKtUalLy, troy weight is heavier, not the other way around. The gold is heavier when you move to metric. Troy is 31 grams, and avoirdupois is 28.
@@Griggle25652 Which also comes into play here, though. If you don't specify, it will be assumed you're using the same unit each time. And troy pound is not the same unit as avoirdupois pound.
For me, a pound of feathers will always weigh more, simply because you now have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor, defenseless bird, you monster

I was in the hospital (foot injury) when the emergency alert went off. And you could hear it from every phone and internet device all up and down the ward. Must have been over a hundred devices going off all at once. In just my ward. Dozens of wards per floor, 15 stories up, how did I get out alive? How did so much exposure to "the frequency" not just melt all of our guts into puddles?
I remember when I got in trouble at like 14 years old and it had been a few years since I had been in big enough trouble to get punished in any way. My dad came to me and was like "you're too old for a spanking, right??" and I was like "uhh.. yeah :/" I think he had realized you can't spank the ADHD out of a kid and was relieved the boomer experiment had finally failed so he had an excuse to stop. do not hit your kids; if they are old enough to reason why they are being hit they are old enough to reason with about what they are doing wrong. if you can't reason with them, you have other issues that violence will not solve.
I never understand the people who say "I was spanked and I turned out fine!" It's like... you think it's okay to hit children, Chadley. You're obviously NOT fine.
I'm glad your dad finally stopped doing that to you, though. Hitting a kid is only going to teach them to be afraid of you and get really good at hiding what they're doing.

@@PaniPunia Yep, yep, yep, and... (checks notes) yep.
It's amazing how many people are productive members of society with healthy respect and compassion/empathy for other people WITHOUT being hit by their parents! You'd think that's impossible by listening to the doorstops who swear by corporal punishment.
People talk as though one slap when a kid's being a total brat on purpose trying to see how far they can push the boundaries is in the same order as your father taking a belt to you on the regular for no reason.
I saw an episode of criminal minds once, where the mother of the murderer refused to admit that her child would kill anyone, and the FBI guys chalked it up to her "Southern Pride." I'm a Wisconsinite, but I can definitely say my parents (especially my dad) suffer from southern pride syndrome. I have (uncomfirmed) adhd and it is extremely difficult to get things done sometimes. I have screamed at my dad that I hate him because of a fight that was caused by me being distracted from chores by a loose shoelace (no shoe attached). So yeah, I totally feel you when it comes to "spanking out the ADHD".
14:38 It turned out not to be the teenager, it was some older guy who was angry he’d been evicted from a local farm. He was a professional tree feller too, I think, so why he took it out on this beautiful old tree is a mystery.
The sad thing about the emergency alarm testings though is that they have probably exposed people who had secret phones hidden from abusive partners or family members. I saw a lot of posts circulating the weeks before the UK and the US testings that encouraged people to try and find places where they could hide the phones where they couldn't be heard (eg a friend's house) -- especially the second round for the ones in the US, since there were rumors that shutting the phone off failed for a lot of people on the UK and the phones turned back on for the alarm. I'm not technical enough to know how that would work, but before smartphones I had a phone that I had turned off, but it still set off the morning alarm, so I would not be surprised if there's still some feature in modern phones that prevents from a "total" shut off. I hope people found solutions in time so they could stay safe...
NOKIA3410, THE BEST PHONE THAT EVER EXISTED! I still have mine, it's just not able to connect anymore because 2G antenas are gone in my country. But I can still play Snake2! LOL!
If you are able to, take out the battery. If not, try making it lose all charge, by repeatedly turning the phone back on when it dies until it refuses to turn on.
That's the best alternative I got
@@gabef.218 Now when you mention it I think when i reblogged a post about it during the second wave I did mention something similar might be an option if possible. I do know I lamented that one cannot remove the battery on modern phones
Yeah, most smartphones don't fully turn off ever these days, and I think it's been a thing since flip phones, it's basically an emergency feature to make sure alarms (including emergency alarms) still work, while the phone being "off" conserves energy (this is also why a phone will lose charge while it sits off at a faster rate then if the battery were outside of the phone)
I had my phone on do not disturb and the alarm didn't make any noise only the messages about the test showed up on my screen.

Things will only grow better, after something like this. There can be so much suffering... but even when you're really scared that you might never feel better, just know that with time comes constant change in different ways, and so eventually the change necessary to _help_ you will come, too.
Just something I found comforting, when I was going through a very rough time, and knew that it would be better but only in a couple of years from then (in my case).
I really really really wish for you that you get to enjoy many moments of calmness, peace, serenity, and comforting things like blankets, favorite shows, and hugs. The world has many soft and nice things that can be comforting to surround yourself with when everything feels particularly rough.

32:24 what's frustrating is that they're _so_ close to understanding the actual mechanisms at play.

He's not "lucky" for being groped and he's not weak for being traumatized, he's not ready for that contact with anyone in general. Just because it's not a little girl doesn't mean that the victims are weak. Male victims deserve to be heard, comforted, and to see justice brought to those who did them wrong. This is a huge thing I advocate for. Male s*xual ab*se victims need to be heard just as much as female victims need to be heard.

Or maybe your worried about the safety rules she was "too stricted" about in the shared lab space with the tularemia research. Just things like not using a fume hood when mixing reagents that generate fumes. No properly utilizing or disposing of rubber gloves. Not washing hands when leaving one lab room and going to another (this is the one people complained about most) to prevent cross contamination. Not cleaning up your work station at the end of the day in again what is a shared lab space. And a few other basic lab safety things you think would only needed to be told to high school students there first time running through chemistry class.

That warning about the emergency alert had an unintentional good consequence though. The alert was a danger to people who are in abusive situations and have emergency phones that they are keeping secret (Ie, the alert could have given away the existence of the phones, and put abuse victims in danger. The signal came through even if phones were on silent and notifications were turned off.) The warnings convinced people to turn off their phones, and maybe a few more victims survived.
Same situation with the Amish guys. Their old order church district was not just strict, but abusive. They were trying to escape. Some of the stricter groups use cult tactics to keep people from leaving. Those phones had been smuggled to them, and the signal gave away not only the fact that they had phones, but also their intentions. One of the victims was forced to smash his phone in front of the church elders so they could be assured nobody else could use it. Very dangerous situation, and those guys may not be able to escape now.
I think people are so used to the Amish being seen as the "weird old fashioned folk who keep to themselves" that people either forget or don't realize how cult-like many of their practices are, and how horrible shunning is

Being a citizen of the U.S. and a supporter of free speech, I'm all for people being able to say what they want, even if I don't like what they say. However, some people should learn that not everything that comes to mind needs to be communicated. For instance, that campaign billboard.
I'm pretty sure that sign was created by people who are not fans of Boebert, but even so, some things should just not be written down. Especially in public. I pulled into a spot in a parking lot yesterday and the car next to me had a sticker that said "Gas, Grass, or A$$, nobody rides free" with pictures of a gas can, pot leaf and a woman's behind wearing a thong. Sure, I get the humor in the campaign sign and I know some people who would think the car sticker was hilarious, but I feel sorry for people with really young kids that are starting to read; they're just trying to get through their errands when they have to answer a question from their 7 y.o. about what a woman's behind has to do with getting a ride and figure out a truthful, but age appropriate answer on the fly. I swear I'm not an old lady even though I sound like it and I know we just have to accept that some people choose to prominently display adult jokes in public, but it would be really nice if they chose not to.
I'm pretty sure that billboard is in reference to her openly groping her date at that theater a few weeks ago and letting him grope her in return. On a first date at a musical that's family friendly so there were kids everywhere in the audience.

The Confederacy thought it was very important to take away states' right to not allow slavery. No matter how badly we think Confederate apologists fail history, they're always somehow even worse.
No. It was states rights in general. That was the war. Slavery was just the battleground. It could have been any hot button issue that triggered it, it just happened that slavery was the big one at the time.
@@xyex Shut up, reb. We won. It was about slavery.
@@xyex No. No issue was even remotely close to being as 'hot button' as slavery. All of the South's demands trace back to their insistence on owning humans. The Confederacy even demanded that individual States not be allowed to ban slavery, so 'State's Rights' is revisionist B.S. The Civil War was about slavery.
@@xyex Ah, yes. Just a coincidence that an agrarian society built off of slave labor was fighting for states' rights to own and exploit people for money. Definitely a coincidence that the South's use of slave labor specifically had been causing tensions between the North and the South for decades before the Civil War. Could have been anything, really. This isn't an excuse to make the Confederates seem reasonable and in the right for looking after their own interest to own people and make them work for free in inhumane conditions. Not to mention the torture!
To avoid venting, I will leave these words only.
I was spanked as a child. It did not teach me respect.
It taught me to fear and hate all of humanity, for the only humans I'd known, the ones closest to me, my own family, could not be trusted.
For 90% of humanity, fear and respect are the same thing.
PAW? CLICK IS A FURRY CONFIRMED? AGAIN?
Fruedian slip I suppose.
@@nola281Furredian slip
@@SiffrinISAT well I mean he's never been to the subreddit, knows nothing about it but ended up at what appeared to be a furry convention so?
Knees weak, paws are sweaty. Kibbles on his sweater already
@@nola281I feel like r/furryirl would be perfectly suited to his interests. It's a shame he's never done it before...
Suing like that is usually a monetary attack. They're figuring that their pockets are deeper than his family's, so they sue to scare the family into dropping charges or else lose all their money fighting the lawsuit(s).
33:43 this happened to a mate of mine! She lives in yee-yee country (aka Texas), and her “good Christian” parents sent her to an all girl’s camp for “raising women right”. Turns out this “bible camp” was headed by a nun, who was a lesbian, and who taught these young girls the basics of life. In between cooking lessons and being taught how to sew by hand, they were also taught about LGBTQ stuff, as well as the basics of self defense (my friend cited this lesson whilst telling me about using a pintail comb for self defense, lol). My mate left that camp feeling better than ever, and had the nun’s phone number in case she ever needed help.
15:36 The fact that this guy did not stop at just the title, but went on to explain why he is obviously the AH is absolutely ridiculous.
A Friend told me a "not my friend anymore" story. He went on a rafting trip with a few friends. The instructor said: We will meet a few briges, stay away from the pilars of the bridges for the turmoil there will pull you down. They were two and two in inflatable boats. One of the dude wanted so bad to know what would happen that he headed directly to the first brige pillar. The inflatable boat was sucked down from the middle, folding itself in two and trapping the guys by their legs. They were sucked under some sort of concrete Platform. Luckily for the guy that found out that way, he has to choose his friends differently; the streem was fast, and they could resurface downstreem quickly enough to survive.
@rebny7801 Jesus Christ, man. He literally almost murdered your friend due to his own lack of common sense
I was spanked as a child and I turned out alright, except for the avoidant personality disorder and emotional deregulation.
I relate to the first part, not sure what the second part means though.
@@Captain-J-Amadaeusyour severe brain damage from the childhood assault is showing.
@@Captain-J-Amadaeus”not sure what the other part means though.”
Damn, your parents beat you so hard you forgot how to read?
I turned out all right, except for the homicidal fantasies that started at 10, having a giant black hole memory wise of things that happened with that person was around for the most part, and yeah, emotional regulation problems... fun
My parents spanked me as a child. As a result, I now suffer from not being able to function as an adult.
35:45 in some Spanish speaking places Joe's last name is a euphemism for "pussy" but he's upset over the word f*cking? 😂😂😂😂😂
20:03 The blood brain barrier is something that really exists. If I remember correctly it is a system of harder to pass cell walls with specific transporters that are able to get stuff into the brain that is needed, but keep substances that would be harmful out. However, substances like alcohol and caffein are able to cross the blood brain barrier, even though they are not really necessary in the brain.
Just to confirm: I looked it up and what I remembered was correct. What id like to add is, that it also can keep bacteria out of the brain, in case of a sepsis.
Yeah ! I know it has to be taken into account for certain medications like anti-depressants. For some people, lower doses of AD won't be effective at all because it won't be able to pass through the barrier and actually access the brain !
@@ankherin4360 Exactly, and some medication aren't able to pass through at all.
Fun for those out of touch with American politics: The Lauren Boebert billboard is likely satire (physically real or not--it's not from her campaign). The better part is that it's because she was filmed vaping and getting to second base with a guy while attending a packed performance of Beetlejuice: The Musical. Our country is a trash fire with googly eyes.
I was coming to see if anyone else explained this.
And if you've seen that video, you now know that neither of those people should be left unsupervised around another person's private parts. Seriously. She's pawing at his crotch like she's trying to get a coin out from between the couch cushions, and he squeezes her boob like he expected it to make a honking noise.
Horny teenagers the world over can feel better now, knowing that their clumsy, barely successful groping of one another in the back of a cinema WASN'T the most incompetent sexual experience that has ever occurred.
Don’t forget her “don’t you know who I am” while getting thrown out and her subsequent non-apology. Sigh
Also, it's was a family event/all ages event and the lights didn't get turned down. She was having a good time with her boyfriend in full view of the public.
Fun fact: there are certain frequencies of sound outside human hearing that can have noticeable effect on the human body, but they can't really be made by phone microphones.
A human eyeballs' resonant frequency is somewhere around 18-19 Hz (too low for human hearing). If you have something in the environment like a large fan generating waves in the range, your eyes might start vibrating and therefore see stuff that isn't there.
30:52 That is why sex education should be mandatory everywhere
With a section on genetics
Why is it that you can find find just one faucet of someone being a bad person, then whip out a checklist and immediately get so many ticks.
1. Anti LGBT
2. Is into kids on their own public posts
Like it always happens, just keep it in mind to check throughout your own daily life and it will actually astound you.
He should do a bingo on this lol

"What is a blood brain barrier?"
It's the thing that stops stuff that isn't supposed to get into your brain from getting into your brain from your blood.
37:28 Modern medicine is amazing. husband had an aggressive oral cancer and got the top of his mouth/teeth chopped out to resolve it. He has a prosthetic mouthpiece that fits perfectly for him to resume life taking/eating/drinking successfully. He also has lymphoma that went to his CNS last yr & caused a lot of neuro issues (profound hearing loss, inability to walk, could hardly string a sentence together, nearly went blind, ++) -- now all that is controlled with BTK inhibitor & he's back to normal. he has lung cancer, got radiation tx, tumor shrunk and no longer growing. Anyone who thinks they're better off without cancer treatment, I hope somebody changes ur mind bc oh my god, we're so lucky to have treatments
11:01 Can we just all agree that Abigail Thorn is utterly amazing in every way and deserves not only all the success and praise she's gotten, but a whole lot more (success and praise) besides?
Yes! and also, wasn't that Hot Take guy actually doing a joke response? I seem to remember something like that
I really do admire her and her work. She's an absolute gem.
Just goes to show what Geordies can do when they apply themselves 😜. In seriousness, she is pretty great. I have a feeling the success will keep coming her way.
Had to have a deep conversation about someone who honestly thinks children should be beaten. Like they truly think fear is the same as respect. And truly think such high anxiety you get ulcers is just natural and not simply the reality in which we are forced to live. Not the same things at all.
