My Official Stance Is A Pregnancy Is Whatever The Pregnant Person Wants It To Be. If Its A 4 Week Old

my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant person wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and they want to call it a baby it’s a baby. if they're 20 weeks and they want to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if they're 39 weeks and call it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was their baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.

I'm confused about your parenting example. Are you saying parents shouldn't actively try to stop their children from doing something they think is bad?

It's not about "should", it's about "can."

This site is filled with teenagers giving each other advice on how to hide things from controlling and/or abusive parents. It's one of the most obviously true things in the world: Strict parents raise sneaky kids.

You need to have a relationship of trust with your kids. If you don't, they'll continue to do things you don't like, but they'll make damned sure that you don't know about it.

This was the problem my parents always had: There is no alternative to genuine, mutual respect. There's no brute forcing it, there's no shortcut, no 'trickety trick' that's going to make your kid respect you without being respectable.

And where every shit parent fucks up is in thinking there is an alternative to genuine trust and respect. Whether it's an authoritarian parent trying to be a tyrannical overlord, or a gentle parent being a complete pushover, you aren't finding a shortcut to the emotional labour required to build a trusting relationship with someone.

But you go ahead and keep pretending that there is. I mean if your kids are making sure you don't find out what they're doing, I guess ignorance truly is bliss :3

they whitewashed steve minecraft

this too shall pass

I absolutely LOVE Jack Black to bits. Dude has a special place in my heart.

But this is NOT Steve.

I'm sorry, but I just can't accept Steve getting whitewashed in an official piece of media of this franchise. Steve has been whitewashed enough number of times in the fandom, but this is just abhorrent.

Can. Can like. Can they stop making Piglins bad guys in like everything that isn’t just normal Minecraft. I love those little fuckers. They’re so silly. Just wear gold and they’re nice to you until you loot their shit. It’s that simple. They just doing their best. I love them dearly and want good things for them.

(Yes this is about the Minecraft movie trailer how could you tell-)
