  • I’m told by a close friend to go explore my interests in order to better pursue my own dreams and happiness. That’s what they did and it’s worked out great.

    I tell them about that stuff in my own life updating them on me and suddenly it’s deemed as escapist and childish.

    Guess I gotta do what interests them not me. Does so. They’re happy for a second.

    But that’s being subservient unless I express genuine interest. But if I do then I’m just interested because of them.

    What the fuck.



  • I should like to think the law sees this a violation of the right the students have. Because to me if a private organization that has the power to give you a degree as you’ve paid for it’s services and proven yourself as competent and that degree is recognized by employers, the government etc. Then it should have no right to impose it’s values on people while withholding the end product of their use of services provided in the first place.

    Anything otherwise would imply the organization can supercede the government. That would mean cases like this could come from other organizations that prop up would-be government functions and cause a ton of chaos.

    I would understand if the protest was a major violation of the rules or it was intended to be a riot or some such other violent event but if my source for what happened is correct then that’s not the case and this whole thing is a petty squabble coming directly from the board of Harvard.

    While I agree that woman and other vulnerable populations have it far harder to have peace and safety from unsavory types I should point out that I don’t think this comic is intentionally trying to play into fear mongering just that it’s close and that people need to recognize the signs of sensationalist media trying to exploit fear and insecurities.

    I’m a little offended at your inclusion of “Threatening men” I hope you mean that it’s men deliberately threatening women as they hit on them not something so shallow as to say that you would include a scary looking man hitting on a woman as sexual assault. I feel that goes too far and is extremely judgemental of appearances sometimes beyond a persons ability to control them.

    As a man this sort of thing is terrible. Public outings shouldn’t be overshadowed by fear of attacks of any kind.

    That said this comic is extremely close to fear mongering and it definitely generalizes the male population.

    Be smart people. But don’t think your negative experiences rule the world.

    Always loved that the second I was doing better than they were or just got to a further point than them they’d rip the controller away and say something like “I got it I got it, stop hogging the game!” Then would cry and scream if I beat it for them because inevitably 12 minutes later they’d ask for help again and no amount of showing them would help them figure it out.

    Kids are fuckin stupid.
