I have the same thing. Sort of. I mean I don't make the first move because of crippling social anxiety also, and I hate to say it, but it just gets worse when you get older.

The only good thing is, as you get older you stop worrying about it as much. You develop a more "it is what it is" attitude about everything.

And yet if the teachers or principal were to raise even the mildest hand to strike these kids it would be a global outcry of screaming outrage over corporal punishment. When we were kids in the 50s, we did something wrong, we paid for it with a rod to the backside. We learned to behave, and not be disrespectful.

Today's kids are raised in a culture that lets them run rampant. I don't how many times I've walked into Target to see kids running wild like they were at a playground, throwing balls around and making a mess.

Spare the rod, spoil the child. And you'll end up with kids who bring machetes and spears and knives to school; weakling sad little runts who cant learn to be responsible human beings and who have such low self esteem they need weaponry to threaten others with. Sick.

In Utah they are so absolutely frightened by the idea of teenagers having sexual thoughts, they've not only forbidding porn sites from being available they've also now made it impossible for anyone under 21 to access social media at all.

Not to mention all the books they've pulled out of schools because of representations of adults being couples or having kids or being possibly gay. GASP! Imagine how the kids' heads would explode if they were ever to be exposed to such horrible nasty truths!!! Teenagers would NEVER think about sex on their own, it's all because the media is trying to corrupt them at every turn!!!!!!!!

Utah's doing the same thing, having demanded (and won) their case to have Pornhub and other sites prohibited from being accessed by adults in our state. Of course we all know that porn is extremely damaging and awful, but it's OK to get addicted to food and religious ideology and other shitty nonsense.

Oh you do that, Biden. And Netanyahu, being profoundly interested in our point of view and well known for being open minded, will surely sit down and listen respectively and take your comments into account.

Netanyahu has one characteristic; it is self-serving and that means a total bloodbath for sport. It will never change its programming. But you just go ahead and try to get this filthy piece of stinking scum to recognize it's own fatal flaw. That will the day. That will certainly be the great day we all so fucking richly hope for.

Sure, they demand change. And I would like to see a flying pig with purple and gold spots. We can all soothe ourselves with magical thinking that, somehow, all of a sudden, people will become humane, smart, caring and worthwhile.

I've been alive 7 decades and have seen 7 decades of war in the mid-East, of people hating police, of police brutality, of crime, of degeneracy, of hyped-up shit-brained plutocrats thinking they are the saviors of mankind, of protests, and hate and war mongering and sickness.

Nothing will change. The only outcome, to any of this, under any circumstances, is an all-out nuclear war, which if we are lucky will come sooner than later. Sweet oblivion. Total eradication of human filth - that is the only possible and hopeful course for the future of this planet.

There was no chance Putin wouldn't stay in office, more's the pity as it says all that needs be said about why mankind is unreedemable and unworthy of any sort of salvation. Humanity is a cesspool, and Putin is just one of many pieces of feces that swirl around thinking it is better than the rest of the stinking filth swirling around it.

Why can't we just have the nuclear war we were meant to have by now? Why is it taking so long for us to hit those buttons and get this nasty shit over with once and for all? It's the only outcome that will ever be possible, why are we prolonging it??

What about the content generators who earn their living from Tik Tok? Banning it is not the solution to fixing the problems with it.

In Utah they're so frightened of social media that they have made it almost impossible for any social media companies to thrive here. Tik Tok is now in their crosshairs because it's the fashionable GOP target, but previously it was facebook and the internet in general. Now they've passed laws to restrict internet usage for anyone under 21 - on the off chance some kid might see a cartoon of a bare butt or something, and their head might explode.

AI could be a creative tool for good, in the right hands; unfortunately, most people will use it to produce crap and to spread sick disinformation that, in many cases, will be libelous if not downright corrupt. The art of persuasion should have guardrails because, essentially, most people are pimps who stink excuses.

The world can't afford the poor either. And yet, here we have rich and poor and all classes in between, existing and extant. That's reality and you won't change it no matter how much you kick against it.
