libraries have always been a safe space for me, no one talks to you, you have the choice between millions of different books and stories, they always smell nice, sometimes it smells like maple. they provide you comfy seats and tables to rest your books on, and that's just the basic stuff. I remember going to the library for movies before redbox or netflix or disney+, i would go on a deep dive into some mythology using the computers to keep it all organized. Libraries are the best

You are such an exception to the rule. I haven’t seen functioning library outside of universities for years now

Holy shit. One of the bigger libraries near where I live did the cake pan thing, but that’s about a niche as it ever got. Those sound awesome.

No Minidiscs or 16mm film? 😢 oh and you loan out bike locks!? 🤔

I love our local library. It's in a nice park-like setting in town, and is just fantastic. It was a lifesaver when my son was a toddler, as I'd go to their twice a week 'Storytimes" sessions where one of the librarians would read books to the children. And I was always getting books out as I read to my son every night, and books out for me too of course, and we'd be able to hire DVD's for the week for just $1, and that was where my son first got to play video games because we didn't have that stuff at home, and there is a small art gallery attached to our library. It's a wonderful place! I think too a library is a bit of an equalizer as it gives kids who don't come from much money the chance to do the same stuff as kids that do.

@@ranting2daMAX uh not really but there's not much I can do about it

Why did she think it was a kids book? Was this one of those American graphic novels/comics or a manga and they were functioning under the idea that all comic books are for kids?

I read the Warriors book series. The books are basically about murder cat cults. It has GRAPHIC depictions of violence and sometimes depictions of birth (nothing anatomical just kittens “sliding out from under their mother’s tail” in a little membrane sack that the medicine cats have to rip open, tho one mother did die in birth in the first arch and it was bloody). It is NOT meant for young kids, so it’s in the Young Adult section of most book stories. There are idiot parents who buy it for their young kids because “the cover has cute pictures of cats, there can’t be anything bad about it,” especially with the new art cover style. The old style would depict a scene from the book, which would sometimes be battles. The new style just features 2 or 3 key characters starting intensely. But imagine giving your child a book thinking it’s for kids and it mentally scars them because they are two small to understand what’s going on is fiction.

@@Nostripe361 when I got into Camp Camp- a show with VERY adult language and sometimes graphic/gross depictions- I was telling my aunt about and said something likes “yeah the animation is cute and all, but it is DEFINITELY not for kids, not with how often Max drops the F bomb.” She was SHOCKED because “I thought all cartoons were for kids!” I asked her who she thought Family Guys target audience was. Her response? “I don’t know, I never watched it, but so many kids do that I thought it was for them.” No, Tara, Family Guy is NOT for kids. Any adult who lets any child watch that show is either too lazy to care or thinks like you that cartoons are on,y for kids, so the cutesy cartoon that shuts their kids up for like 20 minutes don’t need to be vetted first.

What was the cult book?

@@alexismyers6053 fair, but as a kid who grew up on warriors: kids dont usually get “scarred” by fiction books, at least at the age in which they can read books of that length. Kids understand what fiction is. In fact, this stuff, to me, was completely ok and i just accepted it. Silverstream dies while giving birth? Oh well, that can happen. Cats dying in gruesome ways? Oooooooh thats fun! I do agree that parents need to be aware of what content their kids are reading (mine were), but you shouldn’t take away this from them. If anything, it’s better for the kids to have this sort of thing as a safe space to know and learn that stuff like this happens before it hits them in real life, and it gives kids variety in media! If the kid doesn’t like violence in their books, then they would stop reading those books and find something they do like (they would probably realize it isnt for them before the more intense things happened). Plus, if not for me discovering and reading Warriors, I would not have realized how fun books can be, and my life would be much more sad. (and the new covers suck lol thanks for another reason why)

You make a good point, maybe instead of r/insaneparents it belongs in r/Thathappened! I hope so...

The worst part is, if libraries keep - not just discarding books, you _have_ to do some of that in a library - but _reducing their collection size_ to provide more non-informational services, bookstores and the internet are going to be our only options... and curated, vetted, confirmed, and preserved information will become yet another privilege of the wealthy. I'm afraid that someday, if you go into a library to find the answer to a question, or to help defend yourself against your landlord or a corporation, a bureaucrat will hand you a card that's good for 15 minutes on an Internet kiosk, and that will be all the public information that you can get for free.

I don’t have hair anymore. Not too pleased about it to be honest

​@@simonphelon7221think of the new tattoo possibilities

Meanwhile, my community's library is discarding most of its non-fiction section in favor of more fiction, DVDs, and some admittedly nice community services. The quiet room has been turned into an arts and crafts room. It's a cozy, homey place, but if the only factual information left is how to knit a fashionable sweater, make home repairs, or cook an expensive gourmet dinner, isn't it basically just a public entertainment facility?

Please also get involved with your local library and try to get them to preserve crucial knowledge and information.

The big push against funding libraries and forcing them to close? People don't have to pay to use them.

It makes me absolutely sick of people not trying to wear seatbelts. I lost a friend of mine due to him not wearing one while he was driving with some other friends of his. The others didn't take their seatbelts off. It's traumatic. and people think that being _safe_ is stupid are absolutely crazy and really need to learn the grief that it is losing a friend to their crazy ways.

@@kattanimates8433 I've never suffered that particular pain and you have my sympathy at the loss of your friend. I have one very simple rule that I make brutally clear to everyone the first time they get in my car... Seat Belts are MANDATORY, Not Optional! Unless everyone is wearing their Seat Belt PROPERLY, my car does not move and if your take it off while I'm driving, I WILL immediately pull over and bellow at you to put it back on or get out and walk... I don't care if we're 100 miles from the nearest City in the middle of -40 degree weather, wear the damn belt or walk...those are your ONLY Options in my car!

At one time I didn’t wear seat belts. Then I decided to wear my seatbelt and found it not bad. About three weeks later I hit the guardrail while avoiding a car that sped up when I tried to change lanes. My body went up into air to the right, but the belt kept me behind the wheel.

When even your birth gender isn't good enough for someone with a bad case of paranoia and a bullhorn... the struggle is real.

I learned to drive in a '83 caprice - smaller than yours most likely, but that puppy was *solid* (and kind of terrifying tbh, at idle it would hit 10mph and for a newbie who didn't want to learn, an autonomous tank was scary af). I accidentally hit a dip (like a culvert but in the road for storm runoff) so hard it busted the plastic behind the (metal) bumper and a control arm, but naught else. My modern car in an under 30mph collision - full front end replacement 🤦

Fact is though that modern cars are much safer and the death rates per capita have dropped significantly since the 70's.

so what you're saying is that you'd rather absorb the force of a collision than have your car absorb the force of a collision?

@@treepotato9273 what I'm saying is that car took the force of the collision and we barely noticed it, and it came out with a few scratches at most. I was in a crash in a modern vehicle, it didn't fare well and my arm wound up massively messed up. So yes, I'll take the old Plymouth.

@@It-is-me...Melsie true, they have done a lot of work to make cars safer. And I really appreciate things like airbags and seatbelts. I also appreciate good drivers. A lot of the accidents I have been a part of have been because someone wasn't paying attention or was simply driving well over the speed limit. Since there are too often more than one car involved it takes more than one good driver to prevent accidents.

hell, I've had a "peach fuzz" moustache and sideburns since I was like 10 (26F) and my mum also has a moustache. I think more women have something similar than people realise, mum and I are just unlucky that our facial hair is black instead of blonde.

My cousin refuses to wear seatbelts because one of his friends (who has the critical thinking skills of a turnip) was in a car accident without one and was not injured. The accident happened in a very small town and likely occurred at less than 15 mph. This is the minimum amount of evidence needed to convince my cousin of pretty much anything. He would not like this video. At all.
