@HarlanDaniel54 @EricLDaugh It’s a mass shooting under the definition that was created to help push a fear-forward anti gun agenda.

@EricLDaugh It's not a mass shooting. It's two students against each other.

@alfkkifine this is exactly why i tell my bf when i have a problem with something, imo he is way smarter than me, and he gives me actual solutions to my problems. it's nice to be listened too so well that he figures out how to fix what im upset about before i even finish. it's great.
English

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.
The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.
We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.
k@alfkkifine
what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this???
English

@alfkkifine A man has asked me about my day and 30 seconds into telling him he starts doing stuff on his phone. Mind you prior to this I listened while he ranted about work for 20 minutes straight. These same men want your undivided attention at all times.

@LuisAlejandro @alfkkifine You’re so very assured in your wrongness. We all strive for your level of confidence.
English

This is just plain wrong. You cannot have action and empathy at the same time, they are incompatible. The emotional state required for one is the opposite of the other.
Ideally, you would offer empathy FIRST, which requires stillness, presence and understanding. After she's reached a point where she's prepared to listen to alternatives, THEN you can be pragmatic and proactive.
That being said, that is TERRIBLY difficult for us men. We are always in proactive mode; we need some training to lower the guard and be present.

girl so this is just racist.

My boyfriend’s mom leaned over to me during dinner and whispered, “Come on and make him a plate...”
My face: 😕
She says, “You gotta put more on that plate. When you make a man a plate, you gotta load it up!”
Me: 🙄
He said, “Babe you didn’t have to make me a plate.”
Me: I know 😐
The duality of intentionally caring for your partner while bucking the patriarchy is a thin line to walk.

@ma1ybe A lot of countries don’t have the liberal (literal sense not political don’t jump on my dick) press laws we do in the US and some other countries. In many countries the identities and pictures of the perpetrators are withheld because they don’t want to glorify sociopaths.

@NewswirePatriot If you’re not smart enough to 1) listen to police and 2) get out of the way of a HORSE… you should probably remove your genes from the pool.

@Geniustechw Yes. Now make her repay all the tax money she benefited from while living illegally.

@nypost Killing the guy is wrong and mutilating him after death is more barbaric.

@kingBuchyk @nickimoraa lmao. “Documented reports.”
Illiteracy speak for “someone wrote some shit down but if I make it sound official the useful idiots will believe it.
Clown.
English

@nickimoraa Pregnancies in detention don’t automatically mean abuse happened there some women arrive already pregnant. But there are documented reports of serious mistreatment and even sexual abuse in ICE facilities, which absolutely need investigation and accountability.

EXCLUSIVE: Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob
What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining.
Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded.
Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant.
“My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.”
The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee.
Lee emphasized to Alpha News that the group’s political views were mixed, but said the encounter left some of them reconsidering their positions.
“One of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”
