Almost as if it isn't actually child safety that they care about

cant i just lurk in peace o algo， main page is flooded with all this groomercord esl libertarian slapfight bullraisin though

honestly it's kinda mindblowing hearing stories about japanese teenagers like, ages 12~14 just. quitting school, leaving home, and just traveling the country following their favourite bands, being supported by their online friends and other people in the community, and just spending their time faking their age hanging out at bars and adult clubs that they aren't supposed to be at. cause it's like. from an american perspective the immediate reaction is "holy shit how are these kids not in serious peril" but then it's like. "how are they so lucky and so safe that they get to just do this without their lives getting ended in some way. how are they so lucky that doing this has actually improved their physical and mental health cause they're no longer stuck at home or stuck at school, and can instead find the places where they belong at and just thrive in those spaces". like kids literally stop being suicidal because they get to live their lives the way they want to

it's just mindblowing cause this kinda shit would straight up never work in the usa. and like, japan is by no means a country where crimes against minors are uncommon, and yet that kind of lifestyle is still possible for them, and it's just like, man.

I (14) finished writing my first book!

I know age shouldn't be an excuse for bad writing and I kinda rushed the end of my book, but I put all my heart and feeling into writing this book. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Here comes the critique:

You posted this, so I assume you want feedback.

Your opening few paragraphs do a good job of setting the stage, but there are a few places where the prose could be cleaned up. For example, you mention Starry Hallow I think three times right off the bat.

The year is 2001, when being gay isn't really normally accepted

Try to watch out for unnecessary filler words really normally. We all use them, but they drag the narrative, especially where you can use this opportunity to attach an emotional value to the sentence.

The year is 2001, and being gay sucks.

The grown adults on Reddit, when given a chance to critique the writing of a literal child, somehow make it worse

Not that there's not anything to critique, check out the opening line:

I looked out at my window from the bus to Stars Hollow, Connecticut, and then checked my watch. The time was 1:45 p.m., but I really didn't know what time it was because my clock hadn't adjusted to the time zone yet. It's about an hour until I reach Stars Hollow.

"The time was 13:45:32 on the dot, but actually I didn't know what time it was because my (analog) watch hadn't adjusted to the time zone yet"

Top upmarseyd comment:

This admin will turn me into a west wing watching lib. wtf is this man.

An administration just made up of idiots and rage

REMEMBER YOUR OATH, BRAVE SOLDIERS!

"I'm feeling so defeated and depressed as a two fed family. I can't take much more of this."

"I have honestly cried most of the day today. ."

"I've been scared for myself and my friends/work family."

"I'm a middle school social studies teacher and everything I keep seeing just makes me think of 1930s Germany or 1950s Russia."

"I did not sign up to be customer service rep to die and compromise my health. I'm bordering suicidal and had to have my antidepressants upped today."

Jesus Christ, burgers, what the frick did Trump/Elon do?? Is this just about laying off federal employees??

Context: The annual Tata Steel chess tournament is going on. It's generally the first big event of the year, and consists of two invitational tournaments (the Masters section, consisting of top players, and the Challengers section, consisting of younger up-and-coming players) as well as multiple tournaments for amateurs. This incident occurred in the challengers section, between Uzbek grandmaster Nodirbek Yakubboev and Indian grandmaster Vaishali Rameshbabu. When Yakubboev arrived at the board, his opponent extended her hand to shake (you do this before a chess game). Instead of shaking her hand, however, Yakubboev seemingly declined with a hand gesture and sat down. He also didn't offer his hand when he resigned at the end of the game (there's videos in the reddit post).

plot twist: this might have been regular autism on Yakubboev's part, and not religious autism. A couple people posted a video of him shaking hands with another female player at a different tournament (

update: He responded on twitter.

there is an open source model stronger than your publicly available models and the weights are free. I can fine tune it to tell me how to make meth pipebombs today. I could upload those weights for anyone to use today. what is even the point of this? https://t.co/nryVv8qLff

Now I did make this fight a bit onesided because if Itachi had his sharingan he could just instantly win by looking her in the eyes. I may have made him too weak for this fight because I'm pretty sure when Madoka is in her ultimate form she has omnipotence, exists beyond space time, and has even erased people before they were born. Maybe I should give Itachi his sharingan back? (but without the mangekyo) ?

Also why did naruto move from being about ninja tactics and handsigns to giant DBZ blasts?

If your favorite character had to fight Itachi Uchiha how would it go?

Rightoids cant fathom that it requires great collective sacrifice to maintain their preferred racial makeup of their town.

since im turning 21 next month (gotta leave this community lol) i had to share my story. i got pregnant when i was 17. my boyfriend (19) asked me to do it without protection. initially i resisted, but due to constant questioning and fear of breaking up and being alone, i gave in. got to know after 2 months. he ran away. worked my butt off to pay the bills for abortion (around 15k). don't throw away your life for a guy. love isn't uncomfortable :)
