My plea to Cougar Nation

If ALUFs had courage to call out bad yewt behavior I might take this seriously

DazeofBlue

1/4/23 1:47pm

So you are using someone else's bad behavior to justify your bad behavior?

DazeofBlue

Please explain how his interpretation is incorrect. It appears to be accurate

What is my bad behavior?

Not taking the OP’s opinion seriously ≠ bad behavior

Not taking good advice because of another's failure is textbook justification.

It’s never wrong to choose to be nice.

Sometimes being nice also means stating the obvious.

Sometimes truth is being nice, even if it initially hurt feelings.

It'll be sad when there are no more female cheerleaders because biological males are stronger bases, better tumblers etc

I saw an all-male all-star team compete a few years ago.

Male tumblers are incredible. That would be entertaining. I’d be very surprised if this guy was much of a tumbler.

Kind(ness) is a close synonym or closely related to aspects to charity and love

Oh i have no intention of accepting or being kind if you think vaccines
