NANANAN

2018-08-22 01:13:37 UTC  

I FEEEELLL NICE

2018-08-22 01:13:39 UTC  

I think we can safely say that the women who dress up in armor and beat each other with poles are outliers.

2018-08-22 01:13:39 UTC  

How many wahmen had beta uprisings?

2018-08-22 01:13:42 UTC  

LIKE SUGAR AND SPICE

2018-08-22 01:15:43 UTC  

this stuff tastes like vanilla birthday cake

2018-08-22 01:15:47 UTC  

omg is so good

2018-08-22 01:16:31 UTC  

My point in bringing up women's participation in social clubs is not to disparage women. It's just that generally speaking women aren't the ones having problems. They're not the ones shooting each other.

2018-08-22 01:17:05 UTC  

The conversation was about urban violence. And generally speaking that's a male problem.

2018-08-22 01:17:06 UTC  

The clubs aren't just there to be help groups for men's issues

2018-08-22 01:17:14 UTC  

The idea is to bring the community together

2018-08-22 01:17:20 UTC  

Generally speaking

2018-08-22 01:18:15 UTC  

Like if we live in a neighborhood I want to know that we have each other's backs, and that we're all working towards keeping the place free and secure

2018-08-22 01:19:06 UTC  

So like maybe we have a neighbourhood watch, and we have groups that go and help the elderly with maintenance or chip in to get that playground built

2018-08-22 01:19:27 UTC  

lol my neighborhood is so far from that. complete urban isolation.

2018-08-22 01:19:35 UTC  

That's a lot of places

2018-08-22 01:20:53 UTC  

And I think that's one of the key issues

2018-08-22 01:21:00 UTC  

It's a very key issue.

2018-08-22 01:21:16 UTC  

The loss of community is a big part of why the government keeps finding it's way to solve problems.

2018-08-22 01:21:34 UTC  

It's also why people can't seem to empathize or relate to each other.

2018-08-22 01:21:52 UTC  

Well it's the same as pulling people out of extremist groups

2018-08-22 01:21:56 UTC  

Everyone just returns to their little circle and is basically alone.

2018-08-22 01:22:02 UTC  

You introduce them to the people they say they hate

2018-08-22 01:22:18 UTC  

It's horrible from a psychological standpoint.

2018-08-22 01:22:21 UTC  

That's how you decon KKK members

2018-08-22 01:22:26 UTC  

^

2018-08-22 01:22:43 UTC  

And how you keep things from spiraling crazily out of control.

2018-08-22 01:23:17 UTC  

We've created a society where you can be surrounded by millions of people and yet be more socially isolated than the countryside.

2018-08-22 01:23:26 UTC

2018-08-22 01:23:49 UTC  

And when everyone is depressed and alone everyone just turns to drugs and "self care"

2018-08-22 01:23:55 UTC  

Well to be fair, that's because you can't know anywhere near that many people

2018-08-22 01:24:01 UTC  

It's overstimulation

2018-08-22 01:24:04 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-08-22 01:24:20 UTC  

But there have traditionally been pretty significant organizations that provided some community.

2018-08-22 01:24:26 UTC  

Absolutely

2018-08-22 01:24:33 UTC  

Stuff like the American Legion. Or Rotary Clubs.

2018-08-22 01:24:45 UTC  

Both of which still exist but are dying quickly.

2018-08-22 01:24:47 UTC  

I really like the guilds idea too

2018-08-22 01:24:53 UTC  

Particularly in the Urban cores.

2018-08-22 01:25:11 UTC  

Wherein they can provide financial aid but you also are expected to take on certain responsibilities
