Hey Pandas, What Do You Need Someone To Hear? (Closed)

Sometimes we just feel like someone needs to know what's happening. But here are some rules:

1. be nice and support each other;

2. let's not talk politics;

3. don't use names when mentioning people.

Thank you so much!

Biological sex is not binary, so how can gender be binary? Pronouns are determined by language based on gender. Pronouns are a form of identity. My pronouns reflect my identity. Why should I deny the pronouns of others just because I think I know better about their sex and/or gender?

No matter how hard you try, not everyone is going to like you. Some people just won't like because of them. They have a problem and want to take it out on you, or a friend.
I've learned this the hard way, and have gotten very hurt in the process. Just stick with the people and friends you know best. If someone is every a complete jerk to you, unprovoked, just know that it's isn't your fault. It's something with them and they need serious help.
If you think you're one of those "jerks", please get some help. Wether that be therapy or a better friend/ friend group.
Being a people pleaser is very stressful, I see it in my mother all the time.
Don't try to get them to like you, of they don't, just roll with it. Don't let them get to you.

Parents, please take this to heart. If you raise your child in a strict environment and you're strict in general, you are going to do the exact opposite of what you want. They aren't going to be an angel child whatsoever. They are going to find every way to do what you don't want them to, and they are going to do it in the most unsafe way possible. So please, let your kid have at least a healthy amount of freedom so they don't end up in a bad situation.

People aren't thinking about you nearly as much as you think they are. They generally don't care about the little tiny day-to-day mistakes that you make, and they probably don't hate you for the stupid reasons that sometimes make you hate yourself.

Just because they have to take your order does not mean that customer service workers are there to be your emotional dumpsters! If you spend the whole day taking poop from your management, and you feel like c**p at the end of it, that is understandable. However, find another, healthier place and method for discharging all that negative vibe. Your local recreation center employee or McDonald's drive-through employee do not deserve your "righteous" wrath!

Be kind to everyone. If someone is a jerk (acts like one) it often means they're scared. Sometimes of you, and sometimes because they think they'll lose something if you gain. Therefore if you are kind to everyone, you disarm them.

- Freedom of speech does not equal freedom of concequences.
- Your religion is like a part of the male anatomy. It's fine if you have one, but there is no need to shove it down peoples throats.
- Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean I should change it. Especially if it's something that really doesn't cause harm in any way

BECAUSE I AM AN ONLY CHILD DOES NOT MEAN I AM A SPOILED BRAT.

I am an only child and I never had another kid to play with, or have another kid to learn how to solve problems/conflicts correctly. THAT IS NOT OUR FAULT!!! Also, we get nice things, because our parents have less mouths too feed/clothe/etc. just me, my mom, and my dad. Do not automatically assume that only children are spoiled because we aren’t. We are so lonely that we don’t know what to do. We don’t have someone else to hold our hand through hard times. Please, don’t ever assume about only children.

It costs you nothing to be kind, but the rewards are endless.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Everyone has opinions, and sometimes those change within moments.

The only person's opinion that matters is the person staring back at you from the mirror.

It isn't fair to compare anyone with kids to someone without kids. You shouldn't ever, as an outsider looking in, assume that someone's life is easy or they don't have responsibility because they don't have children. You know nothing about someone else's life and what ia happening in it. It's true not everyone wants kids/can have kids but never make assumptions about someone's life. Some women don't have kids because rhey can't; some because they don't want them both of which are fine. But the moment you look at someone's performance in anything-- how often they take personal days, how much makeup they have on etc and say well "so-in-so has three kids and somehow they can manage" you are comparing two totally different people, with different lives, different skills, different situations on a very skewed, highly biased and antiquated metrics. Not all women can be divided into those with kids and those with no responsibilities-- you wouldn't do that with men, don't do that with women (especially when you are a woman yourself, shame on you.)

Nobody cares about representation in books, comics, movies or games if the stories and characters suck, it will only throw more shade on the represented groups.
Using established fandoms / properties and changing them to appease some Keyboard Warriors on the internet won't net anything and shutting down any criticism with calling people sexist, racist or that alike is nothing else than exploiting women / minorities as shield.

But I bet the people that need to hear this aren't around on BP

It's a bit of a cliche, but just think before you do something 'would i like this if it was someone else doing it?' For example loud music is great...... when it's YOU that's playing it, when it's a neighbour it's not so great. People that park in disabled bays when they're not disabled... they always seem to have justified it to themselves on a reason they'd call b******t on if someone else tried to use the same one.

We just seem to have a scummy undercurrent of people that then go on to teach their kids the same kinds of lack of respect for others here on this planet we're all sharing and at some point if we want to deal with the underlying issue then the consequences for being a d******d are going to have to be raised cause the ones for being one now don't seem to stop them.

Instead of right clicking then selecting copy then right clicking and selecting paste ctrl+c and ctrl+v is a well known, well established shortcut that you would do well to learn, Brenda. Just because you aren't aware of it doesn't mean you should dictate what shortcuta people are allowed to use. You may prefer to drag your job out but you should take the opportunity to learn new skills such as keyboard shortcuts instead of berating the person who managed to take your 8hr a day task and finish it in 5hrs while doing it more accurately.

Ps. Cut is just copying with deleting... instead of copying then deleting haphazardly. Your welcome.

I'd like my deceased mum and dad to know that we have Liddy and CJ, my niece and nephew, and that they are safe. I'd also like them to know that despite their situation, they've become amazingly mature and good kids - especially CJ. I feel so proud and delighted that they love us and trusted us enough to make this huge step. I'm giddy, almost like I've just given birth. Monday morning was heartbreaking and wonderful all at once, and probably one of the best Mondays I've ever had.

To experts in the field. Not all of them, but the ones that judge a parent or tell you that 'no, that would never happen, you are just wrong'. Please realize that living a situation is VERY different from simply learning about it. I've been blasted a couple times on line, called a terrible parent/person, or a liar, when I've shared stories on autism support groups. Sometimes what they have been taught will NOT work for every child. And if anyone should understand the idea of 'if you've met one person with autism it means you've met ONE person with autism', it would be you.

There's this guy (I'll call him C) who I asked why he hates me because whenever I say something he ridicules it and when I get mad at C for ridiculing everything I say he calls me a Karen. Also, when I am having an argument with someone C butts in, and is never on my side. If I stop being friends with C, everyone in my friend group is friends with him, and then they might stop being friends with me, and then I would have no friends. One person in the friend group doesn't like C either but I'm sure she'd rather stay in the group...What do I do?

Sayings have context and are not easy ways out of discussions.

"Do not speak ill of the dead" is for the evryman, like your aunt sheryll who drank a bit too much at family dinners. It is not for people who represent a system of oppression or that kind of things (e.g. queen elizabeth who ruled over colonisation of a lot of countries. i'm not talking about outright celebrating her death but about those who used the do not speak ill of the dead argument to shut down the voices of people from those countries)

Same thing for "separate the art from the artist": Separate the art from the artist is for people like Roald Dahl and Lovecraft who are dead and don't use their money to promote hateful ideology. JK Rowling for example makes money with her work and uses it for harmful ideologies and campaigns. you cannot separate the art from the artist when it enables the artist.
