Many men would rather engage in violent fantasy about what they WOULD do instead of doing what they easily COULD.

“I'd kill for my daughter."

OK. Will you risk social inconvenience by calling out your peers loudly and to their face? Or is that bare minimum real-life scenario scarier than your hypothetical one? 1/2

Yeah right, as if he'd fall for her! He's a big city corporate type who's only ended up in this small homely town for somewhat contrived reasons, whereas she's an embodiment of traditional beauty and values! They'll just work together on winning the county fair and that'll be that, mark my words.

I downloaded an app that’s supposed to pick up words that ghosts are saying near you. I tried it out at the local coffeeshop and it took a real turn.
Ghost app says WAGONGhost app then says ASS. So displays ASS WAGON

not to get all centrist about it, but i think there's a compromise position where you teach them basic life skills *before* they leave home, and then trust that they will muddle through and ask for help if they need it

Right-wing politics is laden with contradictions, but "We're the movement of authentic, traditional masculinity who have to ask for help sounding tough from the calculator" is one of the funnier ones.

the experience of COVID really drove this home for me. It wans't the apocalypse, life went on, but a million people died and there were enormous social costs, some of which continue to this day and then when it was done most people were like "let's never think about that again"
