Okay, I’m done seeing this. I’m done with people like you acting all high and mighty against men because “men are trash” or some other shit you are probably going to reply to me with.
Years ago, my twin brother got into a relationship with a woman. She was sweet, kind, and seemed supportive. The exact kinda relationship you want to see a family member get into. But little by little, day by day, my brother started talking and hanging out with me. At first I thought it was something I did, maybe I said something wrong. But no, this bitch told my brother to stop spending with any female woman he knows, including family. Of course, warning bells go off in my head, but I chose to ignore them. Like you, I was close minded at one point and believed that men couldn’t be abused. I will regret this decision for the rest of my life.
The violence soon began after she trapped him. Yes I use the word trap, because that’s basically what happened. She didn’t let him out of the house because she “loved” him and was scared he would leave her. He wasn’t allowed to go to parties because he might cheat on her. He was alone with this woman, who even controlled how long he spent online and where he went. (She used parent controls.)
The violence began as minor stuff, pushing him or “accidentally” stepping on his feet or hands. But like most domestic violence cases, it just got worst. The big one first happened when she slapped him across the face after he refused to not come to our dad’s birthday celebration. She “apologized” and then said that she wouldn’t do that if he would just listen to her.
He tried, oh gods above did my brother try to keep her happy. It was no longer about because he loved her, but he was scared that she would hurt him or destroy something precious to him. She started misgendering him (my brother transitioned from FtM), insulting him, making fun of his likes and hobbies. She would destroy his photos or personal belongings like clothes.
One day, enough was enough, and after she took paused from punching him during an argument, he pushed her hard enough that she fell to the floor, and he ran to the bathroom to call me to come and help him. At this point, I did basic research about domestic violence against men (something you obviously haven’t OP) and knew something horrible was going on. I quickly drove over to their house, not home… never home, and picked him up as she was screaming on the porch to have him arrested for “hurting” her.
Just a few hours later, after cleaning himself up and me bandaging any wounds on him, the police showed up to our house. Our first though, as Native Hawaiians, was “oh fuck.” So after hearing his side of the story, you know what this PO did? He arrested my brother! On the charges of domestic violence. For you ask? Pushing her. Yeah, that thing my brother did in self defense? Got him arrested.
He soon got released on flimsy charges, and this bitch tried to get together with him again. Not making the same mistake twice, we got him to place a restraining order against her. The police wouldn’t do shit, so he had to get a restraining order.
And after all of this, my brother still doubts that he went through domestic violence, because people like OP exist who believe that women are fragile and weak against the strong and unbreakable men. And let’s just forget about same sex relationships, even though there is a same sex domestic violence epidemic happening.
Ignoring this idiotic, sexist OP for a second. I beg anyone reading this, if you or a love one is going through domestic abuse, or believe you are, I beg you, as someone who made the mistake of not taking action for so long, to not make the same mistake I did. It doesn’t matter if you are a man, woman, or nonbinary. Nobody deserves to go through such a difficult situation, much less to feel like nobody is one their side. (Like OP.) Please, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Their number is
y’all are all for men rejecting traditional gender roles and holding hands with their friends and shit but that moment men actually DO that y’all call them gay and ship them together so don’t try and say that “‘society”’ is the only thing fucked up here
If I see one more of those kinds of things as “”“"evidence”“”“ that a celebrity/youtuber/that-shy-boy-in-your-class isn’t straight I’m going to scream, because 1) please allow boys and men platonic affection this is the entire problem and 2) yeah maybe they are but if you’re right that’s just called outing someone and isn’t cool
why doesn’t aizawa just blink one eye at a time. fuckin idiot this is why he only has 4/5 intelligence

I’m literally crying at this shit imagine a hero has you all tied up and you’re like okay kinda kinky but he’s doing his job and then all the sudden he fucking winks at you. What do u even do
perfect timing for this post showing up but Mr. Sax invented a bunch of other instruments (including ones that had a run but didn’t really stick around) but y’all wanna see one of his failed inventions?
behold, the fucking valved trombone
That’s not an instrument, that a section of plumbing
I’m absolutely embarrassed that I never knew this before but…
The pen stand that most Wacom products come with?
It twists off and has a bunch of nibs in it.
I’ve been buying extra nibs when they were in this stupid thing the whole time.
Reblog to save a life.
ARe YOU KIDDING
I just checked and HOLY FUCK
For anyone who has a Wacom Intuos that looks like this
The spare nibs are on the back of the removable panel where you can change the pen loop colour.
Also there’s a little hole in that compartment that looks like this
You see the little eject symbol? This guy is how you remove your worn down nibs.
Press the pen nib in on an angle like this and lift up.
and ta-da! you just removed your pen nib!
HOOOLLLLYYY COOOOW
I feel like an idiot for not knowing this.
FUCK
ok i’ve never had an intuos but im reblogging this because it’s funny as fuck why the hell is wacom so god damn extra like literally what other consumer electronic product would have a hidden removable panel that contains customizable color attachments, replacements for worn out parts, and a mysterious “eject hole” with like ZERO EXPLANATION
WHAT OTHER COMPANY THIS VAGUE AND EXCESSIVE ?? THEIR STANDARD PARTS REPLACEMENTS ARE HIDDEN WITHIN THEIR PRODUCT SO SECRETIVELY THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE LEARNING ABOUT IT FROM A TUMBLR POST AFTER OWNING THE PRODUCT FOR Y E A R S
im screaming its literally in the directions
ajfksdj oKAY SO THE “REMOVING THE NIB” TIDBIT IS DIFFERENT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE INTUOS PRO SMALL LIKE ME AND OP, BUT OP DIDNT MENTION THIS
Stu, let me ask you a question: how did you not realize until then that you had too many eggs? Nobody sells eggs in a big cloth-covered basket, so you must have done that yourself. That means you spent god-knows-how-long opening up twelve whole cartons of eggs, carefully placing each egg one-by-one inside a big basket, and then covering it with a big picnic cloth… and at no point- at no point- did you ever stop and think “gee, there might be TOO MANY FUCKING EGGS HERE”
