  • Or, y’know… they could do some actual parenting and talk to their kids about this. Kids aren’t morons, they’re just inexperienced. They are actually capable of understanding, like, words and stuff as long as one offers enough context for them… Actually teach the kids to use the internet, help them develop some insights.

    And if anyone’s panicked about the immoral stuff going on in the porn industry (and there are plenty of things to be addressed and critiqued about a hystorically predatory domain), then address those directly! Friggin’ nurture their critical thinking and empathy! Locking them up in the fucking basement isn’t gonna Protect Them From Evil™, it just ensures they’ll be maladapted and sociopathic once they manage to escape from fucking prison! (no pun intended)

    Edit: I will say this forever and ever - it is the parents’ duty to adapt to the world in which their kids have to live, not to force their kids to adapt to a world their parents wish would apply!


















  • When I read “pill shooters” I imagined a sort of NERF gun:)) That would be hilarious!

    But, yes, it’s been a struggle every time. I did find, however, that one of my cats presented significantly less resistance if I’d imbibe the pill with some ham or salami (I’d just rub it on the meat for a bit), then feed it to her immediately after I’d give her a bit of ham/salami to whet her appetite and get her nommin’ thoughtlessly. She’d chomp the pill, then I’d give her another bit of ham afterwards, to keep her chewing and swallowing. Then the crying started, because no more ham. Only worked with the one, though (she was THE gourmand, and love-hated me because I refused to give in and overfeed her).
