Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can't go alone. You'll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you'll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I'll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don't take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
being introverted in a loud world is insane because
everyone acts like your personality is a problem
just because it isn’t designed to entertain them
if i’m quiet
something must be wrong
if i leave early
i’m “weird”
if i don’t fake excitement
i have an “attitude”
no
i’m just not interested in performing comfort for people who panic the second things get silent
that’s the real issue
a lot of people don’t actually like connection
they like noise
attention
easy reactions
constant validation
and people who make them feel socially safe
introverts ruin that a little
because we don’t always laugh on cue
we don’t speak just to fill air
and we don’t hand out access to ourselves like party favors
then somehow we’re the difficult ones
maybe introverts aren’t “too much in their heads”
maybe we’re just the people who stopped pretending that being loud automatically means being interesting
what’s the most annoying thing people say about introverts?
According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.

If a "liberal media" existed at any scale, Republicans wouldn't be able to outright lie about everything that is currently happening with the government Shutdown with complete cover from everybody but maybe four journalists. Information has been broken.
So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.
In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.
The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.
The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.
The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.
The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.
The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.
The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.
From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

Just days ago, a prominent rightwing influencer called for a Black Democratic mayor to be executed, but sure, tell me more about how it's 'the left' that is responsible for violent rhetoric in the US.
Sheesh.
A conservative murdered a Democratic lawmaker -- and wounded another -- three months ago.
Between 2013 and 2022, right-wingers committed the vast majority of political murders.
If you actually care about political violence, you should not spread wild lies about it.
