    Yeah, this is pretty much it. Survival strategies for most schools are to lay low, don’t draw attention to yourself, and definitely don’t give the bullies easy ammunition.

    In my small town, a three-letter f word slur was employed regularly by pre-teens who had no understanding of what that word meant. You knew they learned it from their parents, because what fucking kid learns that kind of language in the 80s and 90s without the internet?

    Of course people didn’t hear about trans kids. Because if you did, they would have been bullied so much that they’d either leave, or just be a legendary target forever.

    I swear, people forget what it’s like to be in school with aloof administrative staff and shitty peers.



  • I was never a hardcore Reddit user, just a casual scroller, and I have to say, with the Connect android app and after subscribing to a few communities, my experience has largely been the same. It’ll be better when/if more people migrate over I feel like, but in terms of the actual experience, it’s already slightly improved from Reddit.

    Other than the occasional bugs, but anything getting stress tested is going to experience growing pains, and it’s kind of charming. Like, new mmo launch charming. :D
