I hate the terrible twos - not because it's difficult and stressful emotionally/ sonically - but because it's clearly the result of an intelligent creature not being able to express its needs and therefore being constantly denied them without understanding precisely why - it seems very obvious this is where a lot of weird mental blocks/ irrational hang ups/ future mental conditions can develop - like various emotions is being deeply unmet at such a formative age for us all - a reminder of like ... issues with the monkey brain. Also like it exhausts the ppl around u and idk, like at a point there'll be a tantrum and adults like laugh cuz "it's the terrible twos" - I even catch myself doing it - but then u see the subtle split second grimace of them realizing their pain is funny to others and u know they're smarter than their current state of language acquisition and they won't actually remember this moment but it'll stain their ego forever
But also some weird cute ways to learn certain things I suppose but the experience gives me a feeling of existential dread
I feel bad for every time I laughed at a cute thing a child did that seemed in the moment like an angry little pikachu being silly but rly it's a super computer booting up and internalizing the difference between its potential and its current reality
Wow just wow Candance Owens literally making Piers Morgan speechless. She clearly explains how BB Netanyahu is a war criminal, how he knew the Oct 7 and wanted it to happen to exploit and commit a genocide
A group of Palestinian female boxers in Gaza - who have been forced from their homes and in to tent camps in Khan Younis because of Israelโs bombings - are finding new ways to train.
@Rickster_75 that response took way too fucking long. right in front of the courthouse, yet the police did nothing. the MAGATs gave more of a shit than them. I hate it here. this poor man's sacrifice is for nothing, but I respect that he did it.
