I mostly interact with FB through Caprine, to talk to like 4 or 5 people who are still on it. Other than that I sometimes ask my sister to check for things on Market place but thats it.

There are a lot of classics I like. DM of the Rings. I got really into Megatokyo for a while. I see that guy at conventions and say hello, even though I fell off when I was still a teenager. I remember Loserz being good, before he moved it behind a paywall along with his porn. These days I like Gatordays, Red Dot, and Poorly Drawn Lines.

We are begging CEOs to please read the rest of the novel.

I Was banned a while ago for hate speech against cops. I lurk sometimes with libreddit

I would argue instead that while patriarchy encourages people to overvalue oversexualized beauty in women, and does encourage men to be dipshits towards them, that would cause women to overvalue kindness and gentleness in their non threatening, masculine related fantasies. Maybe I’m overgeneralizing, but I am thinking of Bandit Heeler, or that fucking toothbrush

… Maid Marion?

As far as I have been led to believe they replaced a lot of interfacing with apps and walled gardens. My work, for example, buys a whole office suite from microsoft. I imagine schools buy preloaded machines from Pearson or whatever.

Last night I offered to help my Zoomer classmate torrent Kamen Rider and he told me he was afraid of going to jail.

“I dont mind the gays, but I keep voting for Fascists because right wing talking points about how Unions make the prices of eggs go up.”

I am having this issue. I am watching this thread then

lol so basically the premise of incelibacy is that there is a hierarchy of men (hence all the “alpha” or “beta” shit".) What you are was given out at birth (so yay, biological essentialism). they believe some traits highly valued by women (height, beauty, etc) and these were handed out at birth. If you are short, or slight, or bulky, they believe that no one can find you attractive (the black pill), no matter what other traits you cultivate. They are convinced no one might have any other taste, they have to look like Chris Hemsworth. So imagine a scale with Chris Hemsworth at the top, and everyone who doesn’t look like that having “low value.”

I feel a little ashamed. Everyone here has cool trauma.

My parents chose each other. They argued over money, which we didn’t have a lot of, and her chronic illness which loomed large over all our lives, but they loved each other and us. She was in her late 50s when she died of a cardiac event caused by complications from her chronic illness 12 years ago. My dad is still alive and I dont think he’s even looked at another woman since. I have a hard time even imagining it.

I put the most hours into soul silver, but god, I fucking loved Prism

Ive been using Lib reddit (for now)

I like CPG gray as a content creator, but he did do that and the Royals video. I dunno. libs were really starry eyed back then.

EDIT: It appears that some videos are coming through and some are not.

So the current build on the site is 2.3.1? How long does it take for the public release?

Everyone is right; its an easy way to equate “deviancy” and to deny people rights. Its not just LGBT+; whenever nazis want to make a group of people a target, they accuse them of being “rapists” or “pedophiles.” The OG Nazis accused the Jews of wanting to molest Aryan women. Just look at Birth of a Nation. Or Trumps comments about Mexicans being rapists. It is also just generalized dehumanizing language.

But also: there is power in redefining “pedophilia.” It lets them attack LGBT+ by calling them “groomers” but then involve the services of inspectors who exist to… “verify” genitalia? It allows them to bring back child marriage or protect powerful clergy or rich assholes like Epstien, while attacking gay marriage. Libertarians attack the age of consent and want to bring back child labor. Everything becomes pedophilia except actual pedophilia. The real question becomes, why, when one has enough money or institutional power to do anything, like go to space or buy a senator to protect your wealth systemically, why does become extremely interested in fucking children?

has anyone tried Friendica? is it devoid of people?

I do it manually with 5e.tools.
