@chaomicampbell@Veridome_ right. they think kindness is performative so when someone is being kind to them they think they’re being fake because that’s how they weaponize kindness.
The "A" in ACAB doesn't stand for "some." Or "most." 14+ cops were present when this dog was shot. Not one ran in to put pressure on the wound, rushed it to a vet, console or cry with the owner. They just stood around and did nothing. Literally nothing. "A" stands for "all."
i see a lot of ppl advocating for the woman to sue lapd, which i’m not opposed to, but it’s important to note that lawsuits against the lapd are settled from the general fund and have no impact on lapd’s own budget
The most manipulative but effective thing I’ve ever done in my life was when I read an article about how children moderate their behavior to protect their self-identity, so if a child believes he’s smart, for example, he’ll intentionally study and try to do well to protect his image of himself.
Anyway, I would pull kids aside with behavioral issues at church and tell them, “David (obviously fake name), you’re such a kind person and such a good listener. I can see that in you. Thank you for always listening.” “Little Annie, thank you for taking such good care of the babies around you. You’re going to be such a good big sister. Can you be in charge of watching Sally?”
They would ALWAYS behave afterward. ALWAYS. Worked like a charm. Morally questionable because it wasn’t initially true, but I kind of willed it into existence. Tbf, I did think that they had that in them or I wouldn’t have tried.
Will publish longitudinal results of this method once my kid is old enough to report back.
Banning YouTube for teenagers is obviously nuts. Clearly no one is using TikTok for educational purposes but YouTube is for everything! Why the hell would you try to stop 14 year olds accessing guitar tutorials? History documentaries? News clips?
I really hope Mamdani was the true turning point for political nominees. Stop electing geriatrics to represent you. We need young people in office who are actually competent and relate to the people they’re supposed to serve.
Honestly, anytime I see a child with a tablet. I get an irrationally angry, but especially if it’s a small baby that is under 3 because why are you ruining their brain? Is it that much of a chore to talk to your own child to play with your own child to engage with your own child?
I don’t care what reports conclude, 11 nurses don’t get diagnosed with brain tumors all working on the same unit at the same hospital at the same time without the unit having SOMETHING to do with it.
