a tangential point to go over, but cases of violence compared to victims is different… as in the us, with guns, one case of violence would have a lot more victims that a stabbing…
so it would be better to compare incidents of violence involving a deadly weapon, especially more indiscriminate mass attacks instead of just fights… and then adjust for population….
still probably not comparable but a lot closer….
and, i suspect, the bullying is a lot less over there and the school staff is a lot more involved in stopping it…. but that’s just a guess.

i agree… i just don’t think that’s an inherent thing in women and it’s a symptom of a sick society…

oh yes… i was bullied a lot, until i was lucky enough to grow taller than most of them….
i feel really bad for smaller kids who never got to stand up to their bullies….
if you want to be really horrified, read up on Kelaia Turner.
i was thinking lately, that might be why there’s so much school shootings (i hear the uk has a lot of school stabbings)….
but if a particularly mentally ill kid is ganged up on and terrified constantly by a large majority of the school, it seems more likely that they’ll do some extremely antisocial behavior… especially if teachers allow it and even join in a little bit.

if men display feelings, they’re seen as bitches by men, and weak by women (exceptions exist, but generally speaking).

basically, a piece of toxic masculinity….
men are only allowed to display emotions of anger or mild happiness.
i think this is a big reason why sports are so popular… it’s more about camaraderie than anything else.
also why they like to get drunk and say “i love you man” and all that mushy stuff.

in a nutshell: because they’re taught to be that way.

in middle school, a girl in my grade died at summer band camp from a bee sting….
a group of girls called me to tell me she wanted to be her boyfriend. i declined, as it wasn’t the first time i had the joke girlfriend trick played on me…
but i guess the prank was, i was supposed to say yes, then be heartbroken when i found out she was dead…
instead i was heartbroken that anyone would try to do that to anyone.

i feel you… but by subconsciously i mean, if you’re somewhere and half the people have leather shoes, yours will seem normal. if everyone around doesn’t, then it’ll feel differently… mostly subconsciously….
it’s sorta like a vote saying “leather is normal”….

you could donate your used stuff, slightly reduces overall manufacturing…. (by nearly nothing).
also, my main problem with that, is wearing leather and such still helps keep it normalized, subconsciously, of course….

i have doc martens i found in a dumpster and i just haven’t found anything that compares to leather when it comes to rough-use footwear… so yes im a hypocrite, im just saying its a consideration….

i had some reinforced canvas boots one and they sucked.

there’s a lot of clearweb sites dedicated to subtitles… and they have different versions for different pirated files.

here’s some: https://www.guru99.com/subtitles-download-english.html

well at least they appreciate irony

this hits close to home….
i have to keep reminding myself: clean everything just a little bit, and then a little bit more, and then again, and then you can meticulously organize some box of stuff you barely use…

if you make a new torrent out of the downloaded one’s directory, the hash should match up and magnet should automatically be the same torrent you downloaded.
although your os probably threw some hidden files in there to fuck that up.
the main filename is usually unique and searchable though… and you could start the new download, let it create folders and temp files, then stop it and copy the completed files over, then manually recheck the torrent….
you’d need a new download directory of course….
(i’ve done this one)
futurewise you can have some programs automatically save a .torrent file for new downloads (qbittorrent, at least).

yes but why is probably the bulk of it…
