Are you also against diverse representation in media? That's been pushed for years, and to an extent we've succeeded. There's no reason we can't do the same for male role models

This is the pick yourself up by your bootstraps version of raising a child. You can't seriously expect a 12 year old to have enough wisdom and initiative to do this? Why do we have this unrealistic expectation that men are super capable and just choose to be failures? It's the same system that fails everybody else, that's also failing them

I don't think you've missed anything. Reptiles are particularly good for mobile zoos as many don't stress easily and don't require (or in some cases actively hate) large enclosures. Tegus, Monitors, and more intelligent lizards actually seem to enjoy, or at least show interest in, people and new places.

As long as the keeper is responsible and takes good care of the animals I don't know what exactly the problem is

Springtails and certain mites also love to eat fungus. I use them to keep mold under control in my terrariums

The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can't imagine that they're making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I'd love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

It can be both, warm lights don't massively affect how cold/warm something is compared to other objects

It's obviously a warmer white compared to the clinical colder white they have currently. Warmer colours just feel more homely. I wouldn't want a cold officey white in my house

Huh, it's maybe as if, nooooo... it couldn't be, the Zuck and Elon are my trusted friends, my confidants, they wouldn't. They couldn't. No way in hell they'd sell or otherwise compromise my personal data

I would say hand size is something I'd avoid too. Particularly women and trans-women get mocked for "man-hands" a lot. I know you're talking about Trump, and in that context I'm not really aware of any major stigma, I would just be worried about creating it.

But like I said, I'm not trying to stop you having fun, and it doesn't seem particularly harmful so go ahead 😁

Totally, I don't want to get into the nuances of penis size preferences, as the vast majority of people are happy with any donger (barring medical conditions), but of course, as you've said, there are outliers.

It just upsets me to watch men obsess about penis size, so I probably came across too strongly, sorry about that 😅

I also have no problem with humour, I try to avoid it as I see it as body shaming, but I'm not gonna be a party pooper

This meme is just perpetuating two harmful ideas:

  1. Reinforcing the expectation that black men have huge dongers

  2. That donger size matters and is a measure of self worth

You'll notice that whilst point 2 effects all men, point 1 is more harmful to black men, as they hold their body to a higher unrealistic standard. Plus it's part of the creepy fetishization of "exotic" people.

Tying people disliking these concepts to them being "pale" is just kinda weird, dismissive, and frankly plain racist.

I'm not personally offended by the post, and haven't downvoted it, I just hate seeing the closed minded and unempathetic mindset that your comment demonstrates
