  • Daughter says it’s just the way the world works - life is unfair and the big dog eats the small dog.

    See if you can get her to consider that the big dog at a place like her High School may very well be the small dog elsewhere. There is always someone smarter and hotter. She’s a big fish in that specific small pond.

    Remembering there’s no guarantee she’s always the big dog might help her start to develop some empathy for the small dog. The initial impulse may be self-preservation, but maybe personal growth will flow from there.

    The rule 2 refers to the rule 2 of the instance, not the community, which is:

    Ah that makes more sense.

    The part you decided to show in the modlog is also a little deceptive.

    I left that out not to be deceptive, but because it wasn’t germane to everything else, and it was an edit.

    Modlog for this comment says rule 2, but that rule is about reposts??!!

    According to the modlog, this is the removed comment:

    Democrats are far from perfect, but last time they were in power they… invested in infrastructure, forgave student debt, helped Ukraine defend itself, and tried to give everyone healthcare. Republicans have now crashed the (global) economy, increased disease spread, decimated public departments and services, fired thousands of critical workers and veterans, retaliated against people for their Free Speech, limited rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, made us less safe against wildfires and contagions, started to gut Medicare, turned all our allies against us, raised prices on everything, engaged in corrupt theft of our tax dollars, and now want to deport legal Americans.

    Well, I think this is worth highlighting.
