  • when Peter Parker said “I missed the part where that’s my problem”, that was meant to be a bad thing

    But it’s not a “bad thing”. Some things are objectively not your problem just because you CAN help someone in need doesn’t mean you HAVE to, and it doesn’t make you a “bad person”.

    Let’s be real: most people don’t help others in need even when they are able to. People who donate to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital or volunteer with homeless people do so for performative reasons or to just look good in front of someone; in the end, they are doing so for their own self-interest.













  • Good on you for becoming self aware

    I’m always self-aware and can read body language, and I don’t take rejection very personally; I just walk away. If I continue going to this Walmart, I’ll wave to her, but I probably won’t speak to her unless she initiates it.

    That and I try to talk to women like I would literally anyone else. Granted, I’m obviously more nervous when I talk to a woman I’m attracted to, but I don’t use pickup lines or “play the game”; I usually talk to them like a normal person.





















  • You do have to explain why not though

    Ok, for context, his parents aren’t shitty, unlike Succession. The family is mostly chill. His sisters aren’t mean and bitchy; his dad might be emotionally distant, but he still loves his kids, but his mother loves him more than anything, and he loves his siblings. Even if in the story I put it where they are corrupt or maybe working with one of the villains, the parents still love their kids and want their kids out of danger. Even Darth Vader loved Luke.

    I never said his parents were shitty; the guy I was responding to assumed that.

    But to answer your question, people have choices. Just because your parents are shitty people doesn’t mean you are going to be a shitty person. Just because your parents are good and loving doesn’t mean you won’t grow up to become an asshole.

    There are a bunch of liberals/Democrats whose parents were hardcore conservatives.

    People have choices, and just because you have past trauma doesn’t give you a free pass to do horrible shit.
