#here are some solutions

[popcorn-plots]

Do you suppose Strange would wear a little necklace with his ring on it rather than his finger?

Definitely. Although, I can see a few other solutions depending on the couple. Since I'm pretty sure you're referring to this post, I'll list some alternatives that I think Tony and/or Stephen would come up with.

Tony would invent some kind of nanotech that allows Stephen to wear a ring without hurting his hands, possibly something similar to compression gloves (?)

Tony making Stephen a really fancy ring that's meant to go on a necklace and can act like a locket because it's Tony. (He'd make one for himself, probably, because he wants to support Stephen)

Stephen embedding his wedding ring with magic that allows him to wear the ring without his hands hurting, just like the sling ring he uses that the post mentioned

Stephen just powers through the pain until Tony forces him to take it off because it's not helping his hands. Tony knows that Stephen is his and he doesn't have to wear a stupid ring to prove it (Stephen thinks he has to, because he wants to see Tony happy. Tony instead finds a compromise.)

If it was wongstrange, Wong wouldn't even bother with rings. He doesn't see the need for them, as he knows that he and Stephen belong to each other -- they don't need physical evidence of that. If Stephen wanted a ring, Wong would either make one of magic or find an alternative, preferably with meaningful symbolism, like a Celtic love knot on a bracelet or necklace, or the Chinese symbol for love.

i'd heard about the new minecart mechanics and people launching themselves off ramps, but i wanted to see how practical it was for travel. used buttons so that the rails would go back to their off positions after i used them... but hitting the button is really hard once you get going kjhfkg

It’s never okay to lock a headmate away, never. They could be the worst person in the world, you still shouldn’t lock them away. There’s a difference between keeping headmates away from eachother and taking away someone’s privacy, free will and connections. You are abandoning that headmate, you are telling them that they are not worth helping, that they don’t deserve to get better. If talking it out doesn’t work for them there are other options, I’d recommend giving them their own space to speak their mind without threat of mistreatment for it, for starters. If someone really doesn’t want help don’t force it on them, just let them know it’s always an option and leave it at that. -Ange

It genuinely blows my mind how Red Dwarf has multiple episodes where the problem is that Rimmer has been unloved for his whole life and has a series of genuinely harmful neuroses as a result of his general upbringing. And in one of those episodes (cough cough terrorform) the solution is to make Rimmer feel loved and accepted, and he gets better! And yet! Because it was an episodic BBC comedy from the late 80s they didn’t want to change the status quo too much between episodes so Rimmer just never ever actually gets better. There’s something kind of awe-inspiring about creating a completely insufferable character who usually operates as the punching bag to Lister’s straight man, and then taking a lot of episode runtime to tell the audience in explicit terms that he is the way he is because of a tragic series of life events, and that he could get better if someone bothered to show him some compassion, and then just going straight back to Well, It Is Time to Laugh At Rimmer. It’s like well why don’t you just fucking kill me and be done with it

To the people wanting to be informed about politics but are being overwhelmed with information, anxiety, stress, and uncertainty. Doom scrolling, seeing clips, trying to get the latest snip-it of what’s going on can be information overload (especially to someone newly paying attention to politics.)

I would really recommend people looking into left-leaning podcasts and political talk shows. It’s an environment where people who have like 10+ years experience can not only tell you the news, but these people also have the ability to break topics down and explain the possibilities going forward.

It can be educational. It can make certain topics easier to understand. It will be cathartic to see these people reacting to news stories. Because they can say, “this could be very bad,” then take a step back and also say, “here’s how this might be impeded,” or “here’s what people can do to prepare.” Hearing a calm response will help people not be overloaded with doomerism, and also keep people informed (and hopeful).

(My recommendation is The Majority Report with Sam Seder. On YouTube/Twitch. I think it’s a good starting point. I listen to it while I work. But try some stuff, look around for something that works for you.)

if we should protect children because they are vunerable, this means you would protect cruel children who bullies people who different than them then. the children who responsible to trauma for someone else's entire years

You're assuming that "protecting" children is the same as absolving them of responsibility and that's not what I said. All children are vulnerable, because all children are children; they don't come out of the womb with a perfectly working moral compass anymore than they come out of it waiting to hurt people--they're vulnerable because their understanding of the world is entirely at the mercy of what we, as adults, consistently tell them and show them. Children behaving cruelly aren't exempt from that--they learn that cruelty from somewhere, or someone. Your job, as the adult, is to make sure they understand that it's unacceptable so it will not happen again--but your job is also to ask why someone that young is behaving this way to begin with, so you can ensure they become better.

"Protecting" kids is not ignoring when they hurt or torment others, it's not refusing to teach them consequences or right from wrong, it's not "zero tolerance" policies in schools that treat a child being bullied and the child bullying them as equal instigators, and it's certainly not protecting them from recognizing, and atoning for, the pain they have caused someone else. You don't have to make peace with the now-adults who hurt you when you both were kids, but you cannot let the horrors of your own childhood impact how you treat or respond to the children living theirs around you right now, either.

You don't protect kids so they can get a free pass for bullying or tormenting another child. You protect them because kids are impulsive, emotionally reactive, and profoundly social (which means deeply impressionable) human beings who are still learning & processing insane amounts of information every day about what it means to be alive, to be alive as yourself, to be alive as yourself with other people. Protecting them is realising that you can't isolate the responsibility of a 10 year old from the bigger responsibility of the literal grown adults around them, adults who are in charge of teaching them about the world and how to behave in it. Whether you have children of your own in the future or not is completely irrelevant to this; we all become those adults eventually--no matter what happened to us as kids.

The twins keeps doing the switcheroo thing 30% because it's funny 70% because their laundry is always mixed together and they can't bother finding their own. They're the same height and build and sometimes Lark likes putting on Sparrow's flowy pants and skirts and crop tops when it's hot. Sparrow uses Lark's joggers and tanks and running shoes when he goes to the gym. At one point the guys enforced a name tag system because the twins kept playing into it.
