I wish the takeaway from “bean dad” was not “this
one specific guy is a bad person,” but that the very, very common “they’ll do it
when they’re hungry/tired/bored enough” attitude towards children
isn’t a good one.
If
you can understand that this
isn’t a good way to teach a child to use a can opener, consider
that maybe the
kid who’s been told they can’t move from the table until they
finish their homework, who’s been visibly struggling to
focus for hours and
crying out of frustration isn’t
just being stubborn?
I
don’t especially care if this guy is run off twitter, it just rubs
me the wrong way that there’s an obvious desire to say “this
guy is the worst parent in the world”
instead of “this is an attitude
that a lot of normal and
entirely well-meaning parents
have, and
it can
be harmful to children.”
the lesson is “if your child asks for help, help them. especially if its a thing that you as a parent never even taught them. dont make fun of your children for your own failure as a parent”

Trump being mass-banned from social media platforms is a cynical attempt to save face now that he’s low enough for them to do it without consequences & does nothing to address the years of immeasurable harm they’ve already allowed through inaction, but it is ALSO very very funny & good
My man Donnie is having an absolute time of it right now and they won’t even let him post through it. We should recognize that it’s far too little, far too late while also recognizing that this is fucking hilarious to picture.
Our cool president caught the Corner Virus, lost a presidential election, and got permabanned from the whole Internet within the span of like 3 months. Can you imagine.
actually, the fact that he’s banned from spotify is just 100% hilarious, like did he even use it? guess we’ll never know
He got banned from fucking Spotify?
What do you even do to get banned from Spotify?
And he’s banned from Pinterest. I mean, if he even used it, I REALLY wouldn’t want to see his Pinterest boards. *shudder*
They’re gonna ban him from Club Penguin next
i cant believe trump wins the world record speedrun for getting banned from club penguin by getting banned before even making a character
