Next step down the line is friend group. If the homeys all say he smells like ass he'll likely fall in line: The power of peer pressure. Of course if they also have fallen for whatever dudebro podcast dipshit logic kiddo has fallen for, then your next step is respected adult- Preacher/Teacher/Whatever other Male Role Model. It's important that the respected adult be male since kiddo thinks its a manliness thing.
You could also have the conversation of what kiddo thinks manliness actually entails and who embodies it, because that will likely also tell you a lot of things. If he's idolizing Andrew Tate, for example, then hoo boy, you're in for a time.
I've caught what I presume is the seasonal flu and it has absolutely put me on my ass. Blowing my nose every 5 minutes, coughing up phlegm, I've used so many tissues my trash bin is looking like I'm a teenager who just discovered pornhub. I think I'm past the worst of it, but I took a long weekend and bought a boatload of sick supplies like mucinex, sudafed, chicken noodle soup, and powerade anyhow just to be on the safe side. I've got a pretty strong immune system and basically never catch colds, so I feel pretty confident that regular folks that catch it are going to be absolutely demolished by it, possibly hospital time even.
If only there was something the Senate could do to like, remove him from office for acting like a dictator... some sort of, call me crazy, impeachment.
9/11 did a lot of work for Bush Jr.'s approval ratings (Gallup ratings). Same with Giuliani. If it hadn't happened Rudy would have been despised by the public at large a lot sooner.
The Trump administration contends such children are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S.
Argument is so dumb. Can they speed without getting tickets like diplomats can? Oh... they do get speeding tickets? Guess that means they're under U.S. jurisdiction then.
I will forever stand on mandatng cops get malpractice insurance, making the city pay the "good cop" premium, and making the individual cop pay anything beyond that.
Considering I've been this way since I was a school aged kid, I don't think it's relevant.
