Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.
For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.
I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"
If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.

Good on that school for denying them entry. Protect those kids.
It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

Either it's because he randomly feels bored and wants to take you with him, one of you is craving something (if you're the one craving, you ask Mammon to bring you where you want to be. He complains, but is actually very happy you asked him. If he's the one craving, he just dragged you with him or you asked to go too.), or he wants to cheer you up after a particularly difficult and stressful day/week.
When you two are finally in the car and he's driving, he plays the songs you two like. Sometimes you sing your heart out to it, sometimes you two just chat about something else, and sometimes you two are just silent as you enjoy the view outside.
He stops by at Akudonalds or a fast food restaurant you like, or he just stops by a convenience store where you could get snacks and his favourite instant noodles.
You two take a break at a place where you could see the stars and the city lights, eating your snacks while chatting and laughing.
This is one of his favourite activities with you, and honestly, he likes doing anything as long as he's with you.
Eventually, you two start doing this very often that when you come back, you find Lucifer and the rest with frowns and pouts pasted on their faces as they complain about how jealous and angry they are that you two never take them with you.
I think I just found the only reasonable exchange involving two people with opposing views on porn to ever exist on this website
We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.
