MAGA - does not need hugs
I wholeheartedly agree all of the people listed in the thread as “needs hugs”, but, hear me out, maybe if all the MAGA and conservatives and hateful people had gotten more hugs in their childhood, then they wouldn’t be such giant assholes now.
John 13:34. If Jesus really is the holy prophet for the West, and his last commandment before being betrayed is “Love everyone,” then that seems pretty important to Christ’s message.
I believe in that sentiment strongly. If they believe that sentiment, then we can exchange hugs. It has to start from that place, or they are lost.
For sure. What I’m saying is: hug your children, so they might become decent beings, because they were loved.
not fan of the Jesus fandom (most of them at least) but Jesus was a pretty epic character when you actually read that book about him. indeed responding to hate and violence with kindness instead of retribution is important in stopping the cycle of violence, though i must note - he did die in that story, and none of us are currently divine children walking the earth knowing what comes after, sometimes stopping the cycle is impossible if you want to survive.
i will always accept with an open heart the people who were once bigots and changed, or those who are having doubts about their bigoted beliefs - both mean they’ve learnt and grown, and their past mistakes shouldn’t define their whole life
I wouldn’t say no to a hug.
I don’t know too much about you but I would say you should get a hug. Or you could hug someone.
I’m not a minority, LGBTQ+, or disabled but I’m also not MAGA, a conservative, and have less than 0.002% of the wealth listed. Can I be put on the hug? I’m willing to give the in return at a rate of 1 to 1.
Tesla drivers don’t need hugs.
Everyone needs hugs. Many people might not have turned out the way they did if they had been given hugs when they needed them.
Monkey needs a hug
I need hugs, but please don’t touch me. Or pantomime at me.
I can help. A hug is available upon request.
This made me wonder- How do you know who’s the hug giver and who’s the hug recipient? Is it based on who initiated it or is there some hug position or etiquette that i don’t know?

My dentist is lovely. Last visit I told him how much I appreciated his care and advice, and he blushed and said no-one ever thanked him. He needs a hug!
Yeah, I admit, I’m biased against dentists. My friend’s sister is a dentist. She’s great. Still, they use those tools on people every day.
Maybe they do need hugs. Maybe that’s how the ultrasonic scaler will be redesigned into something more humane.
