I always had the worst time with the mess of vowels in “beautiful”. Then in high school I had a crush on a girl named Bea. Thus was was born “Bea, u beautiful”

Best 2 weeks of my life

Not a direct answer to the question, but relevant; they make a film you can put on your windows that holds them together when shattered. This could theoretically cause a grenade to bounce instead of penetrating. Not an expert, do your research before assuming it will work.

Hard times create strong men

Strong men create good times

Good times create weak men

Weak men create hard times

The cycle continues

I always say money doesn’t buy happiness, but it is a prerequisite. Starving homeless people don’t have a lot of opportunity to seek whatever makes them happy.

For boys, the incel and alpha male shit is what I see really affecting their life trajectories. Once they get into those mindsets they start to repel good influences and quickly end up in echo chambers. The only people who will put up with them are equally toxic and they feed off each other and quickly spiral. A good boy can turn into a woman hating rebel that doesn’t listen to any adults shockingly quickly.

Unfortunately, I do not know specifically where this content lives for you to block. I’d definitely start with YouTube and tiktok. Also, talk to your kids about this stuff! It’s great that you’re trying to responsibly manage their Internet access. A lot of parents don’t, and everything you’re protecting them from on their electronics they can easily pick up from others at school. Even if you homeschool to prevent this eventually they’ll grow up and leave the nest. The only holistic way to give them the best shot (no method is guaranteed, they still have free will) is to teach them the critical thinking skills and morals they need to identify and reject this stuff on their own.

Don’t worry, they’ll be back next election cycle. That’s when they pretend to care so much and fight. All the candidates that genuinely care, on both sides, get shut down by the big dogs before they ever make it to the public eye.

Tear some holes in it, sprinkle in nuts, and leave in your backyard. Congratulations: you now have a rodent hotel!
