Idea is good, in principal. Can I just offer some thoughts to get things happening smoothly.

Bullying, what type? I can only offer general overall advice without specifics. So I’ll offer some food for thought, What if that person is neurodivergent and doesn’t understand they’re bullying, or coming across too blunt. I would suggest, address the behaviour directly, succinctly and without judgement.

Talk as if they’re an alien and don’t understand our culture, and you have belief once they understand they will step up. But say it as plainly, in the least amount of words possible. Don’t leave room to debate, just straight plain facts. This causes this. Please don’t.

Ask how you can help them be more effective in positive engagement.

On a personal note it’s always a good idea to listen to the messages your body is giving you, those emotions are a need your body has, it isn’t about anyone else, it’s about your lived experience and how comfortable you are in your environment. Times you haven’t felt safe can be a trigger for you in the future, and then bullies words hurt more. If you feel you have unhealed trauma or a low sense of self and self worth because the world in general has chewed you up, (which it does so often it’s almost a universal experience) find and build on yourself in those areas. It doesn’t minimise that the bullies are harmful, just utilise their efforts to find places you can up skill and heal, if they are being highlighted for you. They still suck. You just take what they give you and turn it into a tool to build on yourself and build yourself up. Be genuine, curious and open and deep dive on your feelings. Eventually, after studying what’s freely available out there and uplevelling your sense of self, you start to see all of the bullies behaviours are entirely about their own broken insides and damage. It’s really hard to be upset by words from someone you pity.

Avoiding toxic environments is a better way to live. Finding ways to make that environment non toxic is a good life philosophy. Do your labour laws already have protections built in to protect you from psychological abusive type behaviours in the workplace?

All we have to do is unite. There’s more of us than them. And we don’t even have to protest or leave our homes. They all bow down to the mighty dollar, all we have to do is plan not to buy from ‘company A’ unless they ‘insert world fixing demand that they’re currently doing the opposite of’ ’ knock them down one by one. We could even pool together a dollar or two each, that’s all we’d need if we got enough people together and buy ourselves our very own Politician!! We may even be able to buy them all back… That’s probably pipe dreams. We need to make Poole’s union.

Piracy / stealing content is ok for big corps Piracy / stealing content punishable by life in prison for us proletarians

I like you, son!

Famously, the blue guys in Australia, defund our public infrastructure, go ‘oh no, broken now, have to sell, only private peeps can run this / it will run better / for everyone’s best interests’ (simultaneously pats themselves on the back for bringing money in, even though that thing they broke, brought money in, until they broke it) also, spoiler, they sell the things to thier mates.

Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya…

But if you came across someone wearing a hat like that, would you really consider them a threat? Maybe that’s it’s defense level being higher.

The women of Iceland went on strike in 1975, they stopped doing literally everything, walked out of the home, left the kids, to demonstrate how much the system would crumble without them, how important they are to everything being able to function, and ask for equal pay. They flipped everything overnight.

The current system is all the workers do all the work, and the profits from that work go almost entirely to some douvhe who won birth lotto. The system is already rigged. Unrigging the system would look like walking off the job, but globally. It’s going to happen. Society is squeezed too tightly, there’s going to be havoc.

Did you mean to say start?

Needs to be more like the women of Iceland in 1975

I taught my cats to high five. That’s a bit fun.

They talk about how to look for a tighter weave in the fabric, how a thinner fabric let’s the uv radiation through. This is common knowledge, where I’m from. The childcare centres send out notices about it. Do you need to be scientific about basic knowledge? This is basic stuff, buddy.

The uv radiation permeates the fibres, even when there aren’t holes that aren’t supposed to be there. It’s dependent on the thickness of the weave. Fun new fear to unlock. https://www.solbari.com.au/blogs/solbari-blog/can-uv-go-through-clothes

Not as much as you would think, and especially less nowadays with companies cheapening out on quality.

The people who expect celebrities (or anyone) to be at peak alll of the time can go screw off, though. I thought body shaming died off with those stupid gossip rags, (magazines). He is more than the value of his evternals. People love him because of his actions and choices, who he actually is. Him being epic in movies is just an added bonus.

“Gotta be in it to win it.” bonus points if it’s obviously only a painful task.

Oh and, nearly forgot my personal favourite, if I’m about to do something stupid, I say

“if I die from this, you have to write it on my gravestone.”

I probably say that one way too often for my age…

You gotta die somehow, may as well make it a good story to tell.

But also, that dealer has a gun to his head, of needing to eat, I’m sure they don’t have a choice but to offer this spiel. Why do they even make them.
