Every-soul-a-battlefield - Uncivil Engineer

All hail our supreme leader

Still a lot of bugs to fix.

I've never seen disparaged Victorian children to adopt... surely there are some in this day and age?

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

Need this kind of support in my life

even if billie joe was straight (he’s not) teenagers getting offended he used the word faggot in american idiot 16 years after the fact would still be some of the goofiest discourse i have yet to see on this website. if you were young and gay in 2004 that shit rocked your world bc we were living through one of the most powerful resurgences of blind american patriotism and anti-gay evangelical bullshit of the last three decades. i dont think most of yall understand how radical that song, that album, and green day’s overall anti-bush pro-gay stance was for the time. even though we were at the cusp of bush becoming unpopular by the time it was released, american idiot saw a fairly mainstream rock band condemning not just him, but the bigoted, ignorant american culture which created him. to remove all of this context from the song and act like green day was just throwing around homophobic slurs for the hell of it is exactly why people joke nobody has reading comprehension on this website lmao. he’s not weaponizing the term; he’s using it to identify with an alternative american society.

Normal things a girl is supposed to think about?

To add on to everything said here, "normal" is not and will never be one singular condition for everybody. If people want to be "normal" and do what everyone else is, like have kids, that's their choice. If they don't want to be "normal", say if they want to travel the world in their 30s and 40s instead of raising children, or do things a so-called "different" way from everybody else, that's their choice.

If you want to have kids, that's great. That doesn't mean everybody shares your belief and it does not give you the right to shame people who say otherwise - and it goes both ways. If you don't want to have kids and do what you feel is right for you, great. Once again, that doesn't mean your opinion is the only one and you don't have the right the shame people who do want to have children.

No matter what the context, restricting or entirely removing autonomy and freewill will never end well for anybody involved.

TL;DR be someone you want to be, not what other people think you should be, and don't change your beliefs to win someone over. Ever.

stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don't want kids that they'll change their mind
