    If you’re going to college to just get a certain job so that you can be safe and secure financially, then I would suggest a trade school. Of course unless you want to be a: doctor, teacher, engineer, or similar. College is designed to open doors and broaden horizons. . . or at least that’s what it used to be (some still are) until the corporate overlords realized they could use them to print money.


  • It’s easier to complain and blame the “other” instead of the actual people doing the deed, it seems. I am so sick of the generation of people who like to say that all “blank” are the same - instead of looking for something worth fighting/voting for. Nuance takes time and paying attention takes away from the fun things. Local politics is easier to discern which of the parties is actually governing, so the least that can be done is voting for the party in your local elections that actually falls parallel to your values (or is the closest) - but again, it’s easier to just complain than to actually do something about it.

    I don’t want to engage in violence and I certainly don’t want a gun. So, in this violent world of yours. . . Where do I (and people like me) weed out? Do I just lose if everyone turns to violence to solve equality problems? Your logic is sound in some ways, but is definitely flawed in others.

    Yeah, maybe this comic isn’t the same, but my problem with the “my eyes are up here” thing is that men and women alike know that breasts are a turn on for some people and yet they wear a shirt/skirt exposing them and then get angry when the people attracted to them are caught looking. If you don’t want men/women looking at your breasts - then maybe don’t expose them.

    None of these, including the cartoon are examples of gaslighting. This is much more complicated than just telling someone they don’t remember something as they see it in their mind. It’s a series of ongoing purposeful lies to manipulate someone into your control. It’s the same type of misconstrued understanding of bullying. If someone treats you like an asshole - it does not mean they’re a bully. . . It just means they’re an asshole. Bullying is comprised of an ongoing mental/physically manipulation of someone in order to dominate them. Other examples of new gen cherry picking include the miss used “anxiety” and “OCD”. I work with teenagers who use social media too much and love to self diagnose and/or mislabel.
