And when I searched "amazing digital circus sucks" on reddit to see if anyone else complained about it, I instead got a lot of pornography.
Fascinating in light of the fact most of the fanbase is under 18. The zoomer/gen alpha mind is so destroyed they're cooming to hentai of really badly written Fischer Price looking slop. I have no idea how this show got so much praise for its "characters" and "plot". Any fans of this show please defend yourself, because the only way I see people liking this is terrible taste.

Obama Center subcontractor files $40M discrimination lawsuit against engineering firm for overruns
The subcontractor claims racial discriminatory practices forced it to do extra work that left it at risk of bankruptcy
A Chicago-based subcontractor is suing one of the firms involved in managing the construction of the Obama Presidential Center for $40 million, claiming racial discriminatory practices forced the firm to do extra work that left it at risk of bankruptcy, according to a lawsuit.
Robert McGee, the owner of II in One, which provided concrete and rebar services for the center starting in 2021, filed the lawsuit in federal court last month against New York-based Thornton Tomasetti, which oversees structural engineering and design services for the $830 million project.
McGee claims that Thornton Tomasetti changed standards and imposed new rules around rebar spacing and tolerance requirements that differed from the American Concrete Institute standards, which resulted in "excessively rigorous and unnecessary inspection" and massive overruns.
The allegations: racis' engineers made the contractors be too rigorous
However, Thornton Tomasetti defended its actions nearly a year ago, writing in a memo to the lawsuit that the subcontractors were "questionably qualified," and the delays were due to their own shortcomings.
McGee claims Thornton Tomasetti falsely accused II in One of lacking sufficient qualifications and experience to perform its work, while stating that non-minority-owned contractors were sufficiently qualified.
The counter-claim: No you just suck and qualified people should have been contracted instead of your bum butt. Look at this shit
The project has faced problems in the past. Construction was initially anticipated to get underway in 2018, but it was kicked back to 2021. It is scheduled to open sometime in 2026.
Some community activists claim the new center will cause prices for homes and rent to increase and may price many of those who live in the area. Environmental activists have also been critical of the project, arguing that it would remove too many trees and destroy some bird habitats.
Also this shit was supposed to be done awhile ago and everyone else is coming with their hands out

WARNING: EXTREMELY BORING AND PERSONAL BLOGPOST AHEAD, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU'RE A OR MY FRIEND. THANK YOU.
i debated whether or not to make this post but ultimately decided i should lay out my reasons for (attempting) to quit using the site again, if only to get one last good dose of attention, maybe get some finality, and exist as a cautionary tale. this is not a "frick you userbase" post or insistence for the administration to do anything about the sites content or userbase, simply my logic for why i think i personally should stop using it. i would also generally advise other trans people to avoid the site as well but i know plenty of people who do get something out of reading chud shitholes (seriously i see so many ovarit/kf screenshots on tttt reddit its insane).
anyway i have the big depression. i'm not the most suicidal i've ever been and i'm not considering self harm but i would describe my mental state as seriously fricked up bros. this means more bedrotting, more binge eating, more lapses in executive function, more isolation. i've also for the first time in my short 27 year timespan on this earth actually dug more into these feelings and analyzed them, though this has not lead to any great understanding or an "a-ha" moment on my part. at best it's made me relate more to the stereotypical descriptions of depression and dysphoria. i'm not gonna go too deep into that because its embarrassing tbh. in the past i haven't really considered rdrama to be a major factor in this. a contributor to be sure but i always thought i got more out of it than it took for me. maybe that was delusion or maybe i was just better at tanking the damage in the past. maybe i just took enough and longer breaks and i was never cut out for using the site for an extended period of time. idk. here's some conjecture for why i think its particularly bad for me now:
1) half the country despises my existence and while this fact has always been true it hasn't been as relevant. this leads to me being inundated with a double dose of hatred shoved into my face, first when i see the news elsewhere and again when i browse rdrama. and yes i know nothing ever happens and im being hysterical and yadda yadda yadda. nobody can take my HRT away from me, diy exists. nobody (besides immigrants) is going to be put into camps, things will get better it'll just take time. doesn't mean it's not scary. should i be scared boymoding in a red state? probably not but seeing a news article about kim reynolds trying to legally declare me subhuman certainly isn't fricking helping me not be scared.
2) rdrama has just continued to go on a downward spiral? being someone who started using 4chan at age 12 in 2010 and was constantly called out for being a newstrag, i never really bought into "communities degrade over time" rhetoric. mainly because people are always saying shit is getting worse and i was either too dumb to recognize it or part of the problem myself in the past. but anyway. its definitely a thing with rdrama. a lot of users i liked or at least recognized as someone worth my time have been banned or left the site. and the people coming in to replace them are not the best and brightest. its just. i really really don't care if youre a chud. like yes seeing your ignorant opinions about certain topics does tend to make me flare up with angst, but i really try to not take it too seriously and just have a fun time. it just feels like people aren't coming here to have a fun time or shoot the shit about hobbies or do a little casual reddit trolling. it feels like they're coming here to make themselves and everyone around them miserable.
3) i have better social avenues elsewhere. i'm not talking about tttt because i don't think i'll ever feel like i fit in there, but i do have a friend now who i feel like is on a similar wavelength to me. and interacting with that person has made me realize i have so much more me to express than i am capable of doing on rdrama. its a rather dire comparison that has made me realize more and more how fricking stupid i am for putting up with this for so long. i said it the other day, lonely people tend to act deranged, and it turns out having your sole social outlet be a website full of people that hate you is pretty fricking deranged. being surrounded by people that hate me has been my modus operandi for a long time (much longer than i've been on rdrama), and only now am i realizing how fricked up that is. i'm not conceited enough to say i'm finally growing up, but i do think this time is a little bit different. idk we'll see i guess lmao
thats that. i'll respond to comments here but after that im outie 5k, gonna log out everywhere and scramble my password again. i once again do not know how to end this post

Hi everyone!
Haven't posted here in a few weeks. I've passed my first GED exam and my 19th birthday party is soon!
Was gonna ask something: if I'm doing a science experiment for something in particular, but nothing is working, when should I see a doctor? I'm tired of trying to play God and fix my health problems.
Also... IT WAS 78 TODAY. 78Β°F. MY OPEN WOUNDS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE COOKING, LIKE MY FLESH IS ON A STOVE TOP. Gonna have to go into quarantine during the summer, I think. I got up today to go to an ophthalmologist appointment just for them to tell me I have dry eyes.... Severe photophobia because my eyes are dry. Got up with no sleep, was passing out in the car and in the office, my wounds were frying, because I need to go to the doctors office for him to "prescribe" me OTC eyedrops.
I HATE EVERYONE!! However, I think I will continue the science experiments and change my variables. I'm not doing anything dangerous, I swear! I do this at least once a year.
Will check back soonβ I need to change the variables.
!r-slurs !neurodivergents !ifrickinglovescience
P.S: Is there a ping for physically disabled or chronically ill people? There's one for trans people, so I'm like assuming there has to be.

This blog has been making the rounds and it's depressing AF. Men will use a dating app regardless of how poor their experience is. Men are obedient dogs who will pay for apps even if it doesn't reward them. Men will use these apps for a long period of time even if they never get a single interaction.
More than 50% of men just never receive a like, and never means maybe 2 or 3 likes in the lifespan of several weeks
1% of guys received 10% of the likes, 3% of the guys received 20% of the likes, 10% of the guys received 40% of the likes, and 20% of the guys received 55% of the likes.
There are more girls that don't want children than men: 20% of girls didn't want children and 16% of guys.
Only 50% of girls sent 10 likes in their account lifespan.
10% of girls that finish the onboarding never send any pass or like, after an onboarding of an average of 13 minutes.
Just a lot of insane metrics in the blog post. Grim AF.
