in retrospect it is really funny how into the spiderverse was a good and popular movie and the mcu immediately SHIT themselves and threw multiverses into all of their shit as if that was what made the movie popular instead of like. being a good movie
you see, the reason why the MCU fails at it while spiderverse succeeds is because spiderverse has good CG animation, writing and characters
It’s darkly amusing to me that some people thought my mom didn’t “discipline” me enough as a kid, were not shy about making sure both she AND I knew it, and now as an adult I’m one of the only people in my friend group who still wants anything to do with their parents. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.
When I was a kid, I broke a ceramic soap dispenser. I burst into tears and was terrified that I was going to be in trouble. My mom told me that it was okay, because accidents happen sometimes, and the important thing was that I didn’t do it on purpose and apologized.
When someone else I know was a kid, they broke a dish on accident and got screamed at and guilt tripped. To this day, they have to push down a panic attack at the sound of broken glass, and have had to actively work on healing from that trauma. They will always have to carry that.
I think maybe it’s not MY mom who fucked up in the “how to discipline your child” department. Quite frankly, I think the idea of “disciplining children” is fucked up and deeply harmful on a fundamental level.
When a kid does something wrong, you have to teach them how to fix it and do better. Humans are messy and complicated and we don’t know everything there is to know just by being born. Children are learning how to be human beings, and that’s a really hard thing to learn.
Kids question and fight back against authority that mistreats them, but someone treating them like a human being with human emotions is usually going to have a lot of success. Kids just want to be respected, and it’s our job as adults to give them that basic human dignity. The world is utterly terrifying, and made scarier when all the grown-ups seem to hate you and wish you would just shut up and go away, even the ones that claim they want you around.
Kids can be mean, because they’re still learning how to socialize and communicate and collaborate. Sometimes you have to give them time to cool off, and sometimes you have to redirect them. Sometimes you have to be firm. Sometimes you have to be an adult, and hone your conflict de-escalation and resolution skills. None of that requires punishment.
And if a child does something truly cruel and fucked up and shitty, and it hurts someone in a big way? My first question isn’t “what should their punishment be,” my first question is always, “who taught this kid that, and is this child in active danger from them?”
OK the only people I have known who have a garage fridge are Korean and use it for kimchi because they make enough of it they need a Designated Kimchi Fridge, so I get that.
But can my fellow white Americans please explain what you put in the second fridge?

my favorite rule of the internet is being allowed to block anyone. fuck you family fuck you random guy with a url i think is cringe fuck you discourse blog. btw “fuck you” also applies to me get my ass gone
One time I made a post that was like “if you don’t like stuff. Step one. Keep scrolling” and someone replied to it to say “step two, block the op!” And then when I went to check their reply it was gone because they had blocked me and I have never respected a person more
