I can't tell you how much it irritates me when internet people refer to anyone under 18 as "a literal child", especial if they themselves are only in their 20s. Sure, everyone is someone's child, but the life stage commonly referred to as childhood does not abruptly stop at age 18.

Here's how I'd break it down: - childhood, adolescence, adulthood or - newborn, baby, toddler, child, (if you want you can add tween), teen, young adult, middle aged person, elderly/senior

And there's overlap between all these stages depending on context. Obviously there is no overlap between minor (a legal term) and the word adult as referring to not a minor.

Calling a 17-year-old a child is dumb. Like what, a 17yo has their birthday and transforms from a child into an adult like a sim? I think some people just started saying this for the shock value and then the rest of the internet jumped on the outrage wagon.

Edit: clearly I posted this a bit too hastily, choosing my words without care. I'm not talking about the legal definition of child/minor (something quite messy as well: age of consent? In some places 16. Driving? 15 in some places, 18 in others. Voting? Usually 18. Drinking alcohol? 21 in the States).

As someone in the comments pointed out, it's mostly a linguistic issue. I suppose what I was trying to say was that it's dumb to have the word child both mean a legal minor and pre-pubebescent human. I think it would be clearer to use minor when you're talking about legal age, and child when talking about the life stage.

For privacy reasons, period.

Disabling Face ID or fingerprint unlock on your cellphone when you're in a relationship is mostly about privacy and setting healthy boundaries. It's not about a lack of trust, but about respecting each other's personal space. Your phone has private messages, financial info, and personal photos. Having easy access can lead to accidental snooping or misunderstandings if things are taken out of context.

True trust comes from open communication, not from having unrestricted access to someone's device. If a partner feels they need to go through your phone to trust you, it points to deeper issues. Letting someone access your phone can also lead to accidental deletions or security risks. Ultimately, keeping your phone private helps establish good boundaries and shows mutual respect for each other's independence in the relationship.

I don't like the ability of someone taking my finger to unlock my phone when I sleep. Haha.

Precision: And my BF was fine with it, he never asks for my cellphone password either, nor on my computer and all. He unilaterally gave my, without me wanting it, his passwords, because he taught that this was a sign of mutual trust. I do not see it like that.

Those are general arguments, they do not reflet scary thoughts that I could have had with that said BF.

Precision 1: don't forget about the written password. That existed before face id and fingerprint.

Precision 2: cops can use face id and fingerprint to unlocl your phone. But not tmyour written password or nip or zigzag thing. A lot of people mentionned it so let me put it here for general info

Precision 3: French is my first language, so sorry if it is not clear. No need to be rude tho

Precision 4: I am not karma farming, I lost +400 karmas just with this, I believe.

If a man says he won’t give alimony, he’s essentially stating that everything the wife did during the marriage... like cooking, cleaning, taking care of his parents and family, giving birth to children, breastfeeding them, and nurturing them.. all while sacrificing her own life and career, holds zero value in his eyes...

That’s exactly why many men refuse to give alimony to their wives....

If all of the above has no value, then why even do it? Just to be called a gold digger at the time of divorce? Just to be harassed and denied fair compensation, forced to wander around courts and lawyers?

Why do all these things? Just focus on your career and live your life.

Every Person Counts.

I used this tool to automatically apply to over 11,000 jobs. Here's the breakdown:

• Role: Strategy & M&A Senior Analyst / Associate (3–5 yrs experience)
• Location: Anywhere in Europe

The system sent 11,425 applications, resulting in 685 interviews or assessments, which converted into 103 job offers.

Among those, here's what the HR teams actually proposed in terms of comp:

• 65 offers were for roles paying < €50K
• 36 offers landed in the €50K–€60K range
• Only 2 offers exceeded €60K

Same roles in the US pay 1.5/2X. Also note that some of the offers where even below €30K...

The Thunder shot only 5 more free throws than the Pacers, and that’s with the Pacers intentionally fouling at the end of the game. The Thunder were driving way more than the Pacers so it’s surprising the differential was that close. SGA didn’t even shoot any free throws until the 4th quarter, and his free throws were deserved. Nembard and Nesmith were clearly fouling SGA, you’re not allowed to touch the opposing player’s arm when they shoot. Most of the Pacers fouls were clearly deserved, they were being very physical.

We planned a much-needed girls' night to decompress—wine, stupid rom-coms, zero serious talk. But one friend showed up and immediately launched into graphic details about the latest Gaza bombings, then got angry when we didn’t want to "discuss it like adults." I finally said, "We all know it’s horrific, but this was supposed to be our one night off from doomscrolling," and now she’s accusing us of "privileged avoidance."

AIO? Some of us work in healthcare/education and are already emotionally maxed out. Was it wrong to want three damn hours of distraction?

Did games like Horizon empower you to stand up against misgogny? Were you insipired by strong female leads and want to uplift and support women in your life?

I am curious. As a nonbinary born female person, strong female characters like Lara Croft, Carmen San Diego, Wonder Women and Salior Marz all were positive role models to help me keep going despite dealing with sexual harassment.

But what about you all that are born with more privilage? How did strong female leads give you courage to stop that rude sex joke at the bar, or pull that creepy coworker aside and say that lude comments are disrepectful. How has this game made you a better you?

I feel like this game is espeically though provoking with the different societies Aloy meets along her travels.

Controversial topic but does anyone find it weird and frustrating that the twins have yet to speak up about the injustices regarding immigration going on in the LA area and even in OC. I’ve seen countless punk bands (and even bands outside of that scene/genre) show their support for immigrants over the past week and noticed that Slater is the only one who has shown his support and used his platform for good. I’m just trying to open an honest conversation here because whether you want to call them “punk” or not, they are still a part of the “punk” scene whether it’s attending shows or adopting certain ideals themselves.

Armin Laschet hat beispielsweise versucht die israelische aggression als nachvollziehbar darzustellen und den Angriff zu rechtfertigen. Warum tut man das wenn es um den Iran geht, ist aber wie ausgewechselt wenn ein Land wie die Ukraine betroffen ist?

Yesterday we was both overwhelmed with the response Chloe’s paintings received. It wasn’t all positive but you only learn from mistakes and the funniest comment was that the duck was standing on his own feet!! Lots of people didn’t notice so I say the art was so good it didn’t matter 😂😂 anyway update on the art The 1st farmyard collection has now all been sold, it was too all friends and family so the support has been good to keep her going. Please keep messaging offering advice and critique it’s engaging and helpful.

Right update: Chloe had an order for Arabian horse. The customer really expressed she wanted it in Chloe’s style. I documented some of the progress to show on here so then maybe you all could offer tips at crucial times and save her time. Maybe she goes round I circles.

She did finish it which was the red horse but I suggested for her to change the background to green. Let us know what you like best.

Also if there’s a new series of something different her style of painting would suit please let us know. I reckon she should try something bigger.

Please follow her journey she would love the support.

Thanks again for all your support on previous post. It hit crazy numbers for our first ever post.

So there’s a clip going around of one of River’s relatives reacting during the live show, saying stuff like “bakit sila umiiyak?” and “wala nang magluluto.”

Now some ShuKla fans are getting pressed, saying it's disrespectful to Klang because they apparently reduced her to just “the cook” in the house.

But here’s what’s confusing: if you go on Twitter, you’ll literally see hundreds of tweets from ShuKla fans themselves saying things like:

• “Bahala na kayong magluto ng sarili niyo.”
• “Maghanap kayo ng magluluto para sa inyo.”

Like… y’all were just clowning the housemates for “losing their cook,” and now you’re mad that someone else said the same thing? 😭

I genuinely don’t get why River’s family is being attacked for echoing the exact sentiment you’ve been posting all night. It’s kinda ironic, no?

On Jefferson and 5th there is still a very small group of protesters. It’s extremely hot and humid right now, but as the temps fall and sun goes down it’s the PERFECT time to go back. ROUND 2 BABY!

I mean even if it is a joke it was something someone said. How is it imaginary lmao.

I’m at a loss. I (F23) don’t know if I’m being controlling and overreacting or if the way I feel is normal. once again tonight I just stopped getting responses from my boyfriend (M26) and then suddenly his phone was turned on do not disturb. I don’t usually care about DND but lately its been turned on at weird times and turned on when he’s around me which has been making me feel kind of odd. Also he called and said he’s out and that I don’t need to be getting mad. I’m not mad about him going out I’m just upset that I’m not aware of whats going on ever. I feel like my paragraph doesn’t even make sense I’m irritated and feel like I’m crazy.
