A rape group chat. They uncovered a rape group chat of 70,000 men who talked about assaulting their mothers, sisters and wives. They tell details and methods used. Just let it sink in. 70,000 men!!!

I had a lot of fun doing the crossword with a couple of other people last night. Just click the link to join

Good Game everyone. I think the puzzle only works if it's "-" rather than DASH but blame whoever uploaded it

We can do the LA Times Sunday crossword next.

The Hinge / lack of approach is not irrational or mysterious. Men have been yelled at now for a decade+ that it’s unacceptable to even talk to women in public. The consequences were, your life could get completely destroyed. This was the aggregate cultural voice of women, and…

Also this same Spiderverse/Arcane/Nimona animation style is getting me , getting more tired of it than the pseudo-anime artstyle that The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra spawned in the 2010s animation sphere.

This ad is still good tho!

Where the GOP abandons the old southern strategy republicans over time and transforms into a diverse technocrat bro party, while the Democrats return to being the party of racism, the KKK and sexism and icky mayo white bios and abandons wokeism, DEI, black people, and their old base. Would be hilarious lmao.

The vast majority of living matter is plants, not animal, therefor the vast majority of oil derives from plants.

That said, this is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what veganism is. Veganism is about avoiding animal "exploitation" to whatever extent possible. Being turned into oil after dying in tar 100 million years ago has nothing whatsoever to do with human exploitation of animals.

I hear you, but whenever I hear the phrase "to whatever extent possible", it seems like a cop-out for "to whatever extent I deem convenient". If all of a sudden some component of veganism becomes too inconvenient, would they just change the rules?

"Possible" isn't really that weak of a condition. You'd have to be very disingenuous to interpret that as "convenient". I don't know why anyone would do that, since there aren't any social advantages to being vegan.

If there were some sort of mandate to be vegan, then I'm sure people would invoke all manner of excuses. That's not the world we live in, though.

"Possible" is a really strong condition. The reason I replace it with convenient is because I don't think anyone takes the word "possible" seriously.

It's possible to live in a world without plywood, glue, and dyes derived from animals, but I don't know any vegans who are willing to go that far. It's just not very convenient.

Vegans that are vegans for ethical reasons aren't opposed to animals dying naturally and their bodies finding other uses. They're against killing animals that would otherwise be alive.

Are they ok with using leather, furs, or something like an ivory tusk from animals that died naturally? I thought those kinds of animal by-products were against the rules no matter what

Probably, assuming they felt confident that they died naturally.

Let us remember that these people, by not eating meat, do not usually think clearly.

This shit makes me laugh. I tell freelancers that contracts don't mean shit if the dude is in another country, and they tell me in so many words that it's never happened to them and surely it would never happen once they show the contract to the client and bend him to the freelancer's will. This guy not only thought his stupid contract would hold an international client's feet to the fire, but also took a shitty equity deal full of red flags. hahahaha

Freelancers are frickin r-slurs. I hate freelancers so god darn much.

For every mid white guy who loses his job to an Asian guy on an H1B visa, there is another mid white guy who goes to Asia and bangs like 30 of their women.

That got a warning from Reddit it seems.

Is anyone else tired of being tired of this kind of shit...

I will never understand how the 21st century fascist movement could be so obvious and apparent and yet so many people gleefully join in.

I guess oppressing others must be a really intoxicating feeling for these fricks.

Oh come on already go to fricking Palestine and tell me how bad it is to live in a country where you can actually walk on the streets as a creepy tranner. Oh wait that's the US.

This is the world they want, not safe to use any public facilities. They just want us in the closet or dead.

Frickin fence sitters and "centrists" and their excuse making is what allows extremists to pervert the law and society into what we're seeing play out across the nation and abroad.

Neighbor thems fighting words. Be careful who you piss off

Xir is also a "writer":

All two articles, one of them being a fanfic or something.

Speaking as someone who's been trying to combat online radicalization for many years. It is a very good idea to help young people understand the conservative ideology that is driving the current fascist hate movement. They thrive on projection, Repression, Intuitive disgust responses, gaslamping, and especially d.a.r.v.o. it seems. I am not very well versed on therapy, but I am extremely educated in political ideologies and policies. The rise of individuals like Andrew Tate, sneako, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and many, many others. Is a symptom of the ideology they are peddling.

Try to combat online radicalization.... Screeches mildly innocuous people.

I'm far more concerned with his open screeds calling for death camps, mass deportations, banning the existence of certain types of humans, dismantling the entirety of the bureaucratic system designed to prevent megalomaniacs from engaging in the most depraved acts known to humanity.

But yea... also, everything will cost more.

literally worried about mean words.

Some adults feel this way too. Myself included. I'm so existentially disappointed in America and humans in general.

Something has to change.
