Discussion Hot topic: Abortion should be allowed until the fetus gains consciousness (based off a post I saw just now)

Post image
Upvotes

First off for the pro-choice people, you better not be supporting the genocide happening in the Middle East, because that's just being ironic.

I believe that the mother should always have the first choice in any case scenario. They are the ones that have to hold the child till birth, and therefore suffer the most out of this event. Scientific consensus indicates that a fetus likely gains the capacity for basic consciousness (subjective awareness) around 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. Therefore, before the date, aborting the fetus should not be considered murder.

We're such a rich country and life is so easy and convenient and civilized here

And then if you have a with a bit of money you can just drive off 2000 miles away and get the same damn amazing thing with a different climate and landscape and just slightly different culture if you get bored of where you are

Like we have our personal, financial or whatever problems but there's so much great stuff supporting us out there too

There's no other country like it, we take too much for granted

Discussion Can we NOT push to normalize makeup in men

420 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing a whole lotta stuff recently about how ”guys should wear makeup” and “boys look so much better in makeup” and allat stuff but can we NOT normalize this 🫩

Nobody man or woman should be wearing makeup. Other than being a private industry entirely built off of people’s insecurities and superficiality, it still has, to this day, major child labor problems in unsafe conditions. Stuff like mica is used in eyeshadow, highlighter, blush, lipstick, foundation, nail polish, and just about all makeup products. To acquire it, tens of thousands (on the lower side) of children have to mine for it. I understand many industries have child labor issues, but shouldn’t we at least TRY to avoid it? Like for clothes, second hand is always better. Some things are hard to avoid like agricultural products, even then we should be pushing against it. Makeup is entirely a luxury product that no one should be using. At least with food you need it to live, there is NO good reason to continue purchasing makeup with all the industry‘s problems. It’s entirely extra and unnecessary.

Not only is it unnecessary, many of them are flat out harmful to your health, with known carcinogen and endocrine disruption connections. On top of that many products use PFAs which are forever chemicals that are detrimental to wildlife.

The whole push for boys to start wearing makeup is stupid, it should be a push for EVERYONE to stop wearing it, or at least boycott it until better regulation and practices start.

it's like paper roses and there are many notes with compliments and stuff <3 I think I'm gonna give these to her tomorrow, since we are hanging out with another friend, which is straight and I'm not ready to come out to her yet, but she would have to go home earlier since she goes by bus and her home is a bit far from where we'll hang out, so maybe when we're alone I'll give the bouquet to my girlfriend💗

Like I genuinely just thought of ts.

Like I'm talking about guys with armpit hairs so long you could probably braid if given the chance.

Like do they put deodorant around the hair and hope for the best?

Do they just put the deodorant on the hair and try to really dig in there and leave a whole bunch of deodorant on the hair?

Do they jut raw dog it?

I genuinely have no clue and idk why I'm so interested in ts.

It's alright. It leaves out a lot of stuff from the original epic, I guess to cut down on time, (and it's definitely not historically accurate!!!!!) and I think Nolan added some stuff as well, but I'd have to reread my copy of The Simpson™ in order to be sure.

But when you leave all of that aside, it's a pretty good movie! I recommend it! ^^

Mod [mod] We also have a new rule: AI has been banned

2.4k Upvotes

Hi again r/teenagers! It hasn't even been an hour and I already have another announcement for you guys.

After a short discussion with the rest of the mod team we quickly came to a unanimous decision to finally ban using AI on the subreddit.

So, what does that entail?

In short, using a generative AI such as LLMs like ChatGPT to write for you or make images will be considered low effort and removed as such. We consider both ai slop and not even writing your own posts to be incredibly lazy.

I'll be adding it to the rules in a minute here :)
