Safe Space... x.x Seriously. There's only one safe space you have people, and that's your own home. You go anywhere else, you have zero reasonable expectation of safety, be it physical, emotional, mental, or otherwise. Life out in the real world, or online, is full of risks, unpleasant things, hateful spiteful people, etc. You step your ass out there, you need to understand that you have just willingly given up your safe space. Accidents happen. Shit happens. Fuckwits happen.

To think otherwise is the height of smug stupidity.

The home isnt even a safe space...nothing is safe.

 

In fact you have it backwards, most of these insecure people are in the mindset of excaping their own environments via the internet, what they consider a "safe space" because they can group with those in niche communities, and likely attempt to shut out all other parts.

Sounds like there will be a lot of drunken yiffs

Pretty much. They were talking about "popping cherries" and shit last time; didn't really need to hear that. We were gonna do singstar last year but the playstation broke, and they have a climbing wall but they couldn't get anyone qualified to run it.

One more thing to my ever growing "Why I shouldn't save up money to go to a furry convention" list.

Hey don't let my con experience throw you off. The one we have here is quite lame compared to you guys. I hear MFF is actually quite cool, lots to do, heaps of panels, lots to buy, heaps of people, and other shit.

In other news: I sold my car. Think I'll celebrate. 

I sold mine earlier this month. Did you get what you wanted out of it?

Mine was a '94 Nissan Bluebird / Altima SSS in somewhat rough shape with 350,000+ kms (217,000 mi) - I wanted to get $750 - $850 for it, but I ended up getting $700. Ah well.

Yes and no. I listed it for $1,800 but got $1,600. Could've bartered but oh well.

Now to enjoy this bottle of wine.

Oh god, how can people get this done?

Interesting to see how it is done.

Just imagine how much they need to hate their body, how determined or in some cases, sadly, how missguided they need to be to go through with such a dangerous and long operation, where a lot of things can go wrong during and after it just to get something that looks like the real thing.

I'm disappointed, this dog isn't going to be a good service dog...I'd have better luck getting a puppy and training from the start but god I don't want to deal with a puppy. Maybe I should hire a professional trainer to deal with Hank's problems instead of trying a new dog.

An alliance of student groups at my University just released a list of 19 demands to the administration. Each demand begins with the words "We demand". They include multiple new departments, multiple new administrative and student offices, changes to the undergraduate curriculum, racial hiring quotas that would be immediately struck down by federal courts, and amusingly specific requests for additions and renovations to certain student group office spaces. 

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the President's office during discussions of how to tactfully respond to this, since it's hilariously divorced from reality.

I'd like to see the rest of the student body demand that those other idiot students get expelled, just to make the circle complete.

i'd just like to see people learn from their choices.

Hm? Would you mind expanding on this thought?

I just get frustrated seeing a lot of what is essentially a self-assured state of mind in a lot of college students which to me is hypocritical. You're not at a university to prove that you're smart so much as you are looking to be at a place that expands your knowledge, for the most part. It just seems like with stuff like this people will walk away jaded and not having changed their opinion of anything because things phrased like this tend to come with a sense of self-assured "I'm smart enough to know that you should comply to me". At its' core, I think those students at least mean well on some fundamental level for someone, but it's the fact that even if the administration completely shuts it down, they won't really listen or take information out of the whole situation. They will probably continue to functionally assure themselves, "they don't want to represent us!" when in reality they're failing to represent themselves by smoothly acknowledging perspectives they don't want to consider.

I don't know. I just get bummed hearing about these things because it's another sign of people in my age pool seeming to be categorically designing what they expect of others based on what they think is right, and therefore not at all what the reality of their surroundings are. It's a state of non-information in the most ironic place for that to happen.

How does a fox starve with all that cock to gobble?

His mount must be too weak to pop lollypops, and his digestive system can't take cream pies. He is not good at baking bread tonight, we already know that. Maybe he just can't get laid. Not all employers just fire people for not preforming or blowing a job all together. Foxes tend to have problems with their spine, maybe he does too, otherwise I'm sure someone would have came with work to put on his back.

 

And now to see who has a really dirty mind after reading this. :V

That's an interesting take on the phenomenon.


I've tended to view it as students looking towards universities as essentially an extended home and family, with the expectation that life there will be completely supportive and inclusive. Of course, the reality is that universities are giant, sprawling institutions with many different cultures and aims, and it's entirely up to the individual adults to choose how they want to integrate themselves into that institution and its community. Once this reality intrudes on students' expectations, they look to rationalize why this is so without admitting to themselves that their initial expectations were erroneous.

At the same time, these students want to mold the university into what they think it ought to be. The problem becomes that there are things there that make them uncomfortable and there are people there who are very different from them in culture, motivation, and appearance. And so those are the things they fight against. The students demand that uncomfortable things be censored, that programs they align with are added and made mandatory, and that more people like them are included at the expense of people unlike them.
