My new town name!

[Sloom]

I'm looking for a new town name, I am leaving TBT soon, I will be on occasionally so I can make a Starbucks thread that I have always wanted to, to giveaway free Brewster caf? trips xD, but I am going to change my town name

(POLL status: Milkyway is winning)

Oh, for God's sake. May you please be a little more sensible? You want my mom to come to work before her designated working hour, but my mom can barely make it to work on time. She has to pick me up after school, and there is a whole lot of traffic there. She can't possibly do that. Won't you just find it in your heart to, I don't know, maybe let my mom clock in when her shift starts?

Lately, lots of peeps (here and irl) are SO negative, and I can understand why. I was born with quite the range of issues, but we aren't here to vent. Say something positive or give quotes you love!
Here, lemme start this off:
"Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain.
But you can't have a Rainbow without any rain."

Change for the better starts from self reflection and understanding the viewpoints and have sentiment with other's experiences. If you truly believe empathy and compassion is what this worlds needs more of, then give the world an example. Better to start now than to start later, its in your hands to make it happen. Be good to not only what you perceive as "all" but as the actual definition of "all".

Positively dEEp

No matter what you look like now.. it is mearly a coccon soon you'll be a butterfly! ( This TOTALLY applys To ppl of EVERY single age )

Go outside and turn off the television for a while. You'll find there's a lot less hate out there than what the news wants you to believe.
Trust me.

Yes, I think people (even though they may just be making a joke) should take into consideration that other people could read it and see it as you being serious and get offended by it. Not everyone will find it funny especially if it's on a touchy subject and just because they do get upset doesn't mean "they can't take a joke". Some people get dragged through hell and back daily because of religion, being transgender, race, sexual orientation, etc. and they come on here to be in their own little world only to have that ruined when they see opinion based threads like "Thoughts on Transgenders" (etc. etc.) and see it has gotten out of hand with jokes.

Or people make just make those comments to start up some drama because they are so unsatisfied with their own, dull lives that they need attention in order to feel like people actually notice that they're there.

Sorry for ranting I'm just not satisfied with how people behave online.
I guess if anyone makes any jokes or are being serious you can always report them and add them to your ignored list

I am in some kind of positive mood rn! I cant lie, i've had some problems and got to feel kind of isolated even though there were people around, like you know, you dont feel lonely but not quite fitting in... I believe that we are led through the path that we need to follow in order to improve. We will keep finding toxic relationships if we have to learn something about them, and what may seem a really negative experience.. is indeed a process of learning needed. There is beauty all around but we tend to focus on that one thing that does not go the way we expected.. Maybe one should start focusing on all the good things we take for granted and if you find it imposible, then create them!

I have some advice for users on this thread

This whole summer, I've been feeling down and honestly have been kind of in the mindset that life would be better without me because of some issues my former friend has caused.

Some advice I can give is to get rid of the negativity in your life and start doing things you love doing, and don't surround yourself with bad people because it can only do harm to you, and you'll start to appreciate the little things in life and meet new people, creating new happy experiences. If you aren't putting yourself out there, nothing good will ever come, so you have nothing to lose by doing it and might as well give it a try.

^^ This helped me overcome many things this summer, and I'm happier at the end than at the beginning, shockingly. It really does get better, and you may find happiness in areas you never thought you would

sss

No just kidding, how about Sialgen. I dunno, sounds pretty similar to the ones up on the poll.

being nice isnt the same as tolerating whatever crap other people say lol but i feel like this is what this thread is actually about so uh no. if someone says some cruel stuff it's not rude to shut them down or call them out.
it's not like brewsters has been a nice place and now suddenly is ruined by big meanies

also since this seems to be something people have a problem w: lgbt people dont owe anyone eternal Lov abd Acceptance and i really really really don't care about some cis person's feelings about the transgender community because it's always based on stuff like "they got angry at me for misgendering them" or "i did something hurtful and someone reacted, that really is reverse oppression at its finest"
there are no excuses to being transphobic, even if you don't "agree" with anything trans related you have no excuse to tell people that because saying that stuff makes you a crap person. if you hate someone who happens to be trans then that's fine like whatever but if youre going all rainbow backpack, the down with cis bus is real and decide to hate on the entire transgender community then that's you being an awful person. there are no valid reasons to be transphobic (or anything else like that but since this pretty much is what's being discussed i thought i wouldnt be super vague lol) and people getting upset about you doing or saying hurtful things isnt bullying

Literally call it "Other".

Obviously you shouldn’t judge a group based on the bad behavior of some individual members. Unfortunately though, individuals have to be aware that their behavior will more often than not reflect poorly on the groups they belong to. By behaving aggressively they are making it harder and harder for people already biased against them to be sympathetic of their situation.

Yes, I wish people could see through the anger, understand where it is coming from and take away something worth learning. However, sympathizing is very difficult for most people when faced with aggressive opposition. Purely psychologically, you can’t expect someone to listen and change their behavior for you when you are yelling and antagonizing them

I think we mostly agree though, and don’t really need to go deeper into this. I’m in no way trying to say people’s anger is unjustified; just that it’s pragmatically not beneficial for improving the situation

 

[MadisonCrossing]

I think Milky Way is really cute!

All I'm gonna say on this is we are not responsible for homophobes/transphobes and it's not our obligation to cradle them until they respect us.

If someone wants to be a child and hate all LGBT people because some gay dude with a Reaper avatar was mean to them on an Animal Crossing forum then that's their own fault and it's on them. If they don't want to do their own research because their feelings were hurt for 5 minutes opposed to our 10 years then that's on them.

I used to be all "We must coddle and bend over backwards for the straights!" but while we maybe get them peeved off for a few minutes their mindsets are killing us off and I'm tired.I have some advice for users on this thread

I like Magenta and Milkyway.
I prefer Magenta, though, so I voted that.
Good luck on your decision!

 

[LambdaDelta]

it won't last, but tying ftw

 

[Cariad]

Um, no

um yes

 

[MeghanNewLeaf]

I like them all, but Magenta was my favorite. It's rather unique!
I'm sure that people will miss you here on TBT. Good luck!

 

[Gizmodo]

In conCLUSION, I think we should stop segregating ourselves. Whatever gender you identify as, or whatever gender you're attracted to, it doesn't give you an excuse to act a certain way. If you want to be respected or w/e, do the same to everyone else ;;

I think we should stop with the "I've had an argument with [this type of person] so now I'm gonna hate the whole community"... and instead just look at the person individually, rather than alter your opinion of all the people sharing similar traits/indentities/etc. Jumping down each others throats with this manufactured outrage would be a bonus too. I enjoy debating but like

“Often times we feel like either we can’t make a world of difference, or we feel that it’s not going to change anything anyway. The truth is you can change someone’s day,you can change someone’s life, but you have to show up and do what you got to do to actually see any fruit coming from it.” – Nick Vujicic

I encourage you to accept that you may not be able to see a path right now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.

Every day is a new opportunity to be better than yesterday; that pursuit can increase your self-esteem and, accordingly, your happiness.

Finding joy in the present moment, no matter how inadequate it may seem, makes a difference in
other people’s lives.

So you've left tbt, I see. And asked to keep this thread alive which i what I will do you were, like, the nicest member here to me more than anyone else...you would always be sending private messages when I was sad, and I was struggling to teach you how to hack acnl...didn't think that it would come to this point that you left everything. Hopefully not acnl, but if you did, then I guess I cannot see you again

Bye Keldi. You were positivity here to me.
