IMHO it’s more accurate to say “responsible for fixing” each issue. How you were raised, how your childhood went, & how lucky you got in the gene lottery (for both physical and mental issues) plays a MUCH larger part in how you got there than this simplistic (almost judgemental) message acknowledges.
Lol, I sincerely love what it says about this website that we get wholesome and intelligent comments "Well, actually…"ing like every submission to the shitpost community. Like, we just never turn it off.
But also, yeah, the original message is super judgmental victim blamey stuff, but that just makes the “your parents’ divorce” photoshop on it perfect satire
Yeah, sorry - my brain never really shuts off, especially on social justice issues & the like. I think it’s mainly because the present is IMHO the worst America has ever been for such in my several decades of life, and it’s been extremely upsetting for me. Sorry for being a downer.
They have a hole at the bottom of the handle, furthest away from the mirror end. You can try to balance them on a hook standing upright from that hole, but the slightest bump/vibration/etc will likely cause them to tilt sideways & fall over due to the weight of the rest of it. They’ll rotate around the hook at the hole, and the mirror will wind up underneath the hook due to the weight.
As the other commenter said: physics.
I suppose they could have had hooks on either side of the handle supporting the mirror end directly so the handle end stayed underneath, but I can’t tell you why they didn’t outside the fact it would have required at least twice as many hooks.

But why are the mirrors upside down so they look like nooses?
