Elon musk's tweets are so hot, the UK intelligence services are diverting taxpayer resources to reading them

Meanwhile:

I genuinely feared for Jess Phillips' life after his post about her

I feel the same. I truly hope she can stay safe in these times.

wow he must've said something truly heinous

I hope she can stay safe not white schoolgirls though they can get fricked I am the compassionate one

she looks like one of the background ogres in shrek 4 btw

In the Electoral Dysfunction podcast, she said that while Labour is calibrating their response to Musk and everyone else, they have to take her safety into account because of the amount of threats that she has received in the past week. It's sickening.

meanwhile Nige after getting his 34th death threat of the day

Yea, It is litteraly the whole point of Mi6 to monitor forign threats the UK and deal with them if nessesary.

That Manchester bomb plot can wait, Elon Musk's just been rude to Keir on twitter

The Home Office can prevent someone from entering the UK if their presence is not considered conducive to the public good.

OH THEY CAN???

I must've fricking imagined all of this!

Some twit posts on Facebook: 'jail! And death is what you truly deserve!'

Musk tries to destroy democracy: 'well, it's a complex area and we want to prioritise free speech'

The Police and Crown Prosecution Service doing their 'one rule for you and one for the rich' routine.

>call politician a name

>democracy destroyed

Hans Herman Hoppe bros... was it this easy?

Is what he posted actually illegal? Or just terrifying and unacceptable

Watch as a bong realises he cannot enforce his Naughty Words Laws across national borders

There are things which the UK government can do on a global scale, that Musk cannot

What, like get scammed out of hundreds of millions by Paul 'No Refunds' Kagame?

I suppose it is technically true that Musk cannot repeatedly embarrass and subvert himself by selling or scrapping all of his overseas land, bases and materiel

Let's just call musk what he is - a stochastic terrorist.

SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT

Maybe they should consider banning twitter all together in this country like America is doing with TikTok.

Censorship is never the answer.

Is that the sort of thing a Sith would say?

THIS IS JUST LIKE SOY WARS

Recently, I suffered a massive injustice at the hands of @ToeBeans, and I wish to talk about it because it concerns a lot of important societal topics. Recently, @ToeBeans made a lighthearted thread asking people why they were still up. The humor is obvious - as a global website, there are obviously many users for whom it is not night, but @ToeBeans is acting like it is bedtime for everybody. It is also a relatable thread, as we have all had the experience of suffering from insomnia and finding ourselves browsing this godforsaken site.

https://rdrama.net/post/334265/why-are-you-up-so-late

I was one of the first people to respond to the thread, and I think I gave a worthwhile answer.

I left the thread and tended to other matters. When I returned, to my surprise, the thread had blown up and there were over a hundred replies. I jumped back into the thread to consume the new content but I soon found myself crestfallen. @ToeBeans had responded to everybody except for me. It felt like a knife to the gut, like having acid thrown on your face. Sadly, it wasn't an unfamiliar feeling, however, and the sadness that fell over me was something like an old friend. This is a situation I've dealt with plenty of times in my life - being ignored, overlooked, ostracized - and it comes down to heightism.

What Is Heightism?

Heightism is the discrimination of others based on their height. This is a harsh form of discrimination because one cannot change their height. It is a form of discrimination that mainly affects men, and it permeates all spheres of life. Height is used to judge one's fitness, attractiveness, and worth.

This is apparent when we look at the world of economics. What the studies show is absolutely darning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination

Summing up the Wikipedia article:

1. Your height at 16 determines your whole life's earning power

• They also found that men's wages as adults could be linked to their height at age 16

• The researchers found that on an average an increase in height by one inch at age 16 increased male adult wages by 2.6 percent. This is equal to increase of approximately $850 in 1996 annual earnings. In other words, the height and corresponding social experiences of taller male adolescent at age 16 would likely translate to higher wage in later adulthood as compared to shorter male adolescent.

2. Your height determines what jobs you can have, even if height has nothing to do with your duties

• Studies have shown that short people are paid less than taller people, with disparities similar in magnitude to the race and gender gaps

3. Your height determines whether you will hold any leadership positions. If you're below 5 foot 7, you have almost NO chance of ever holding a leadership position

• Surveys have uncovered that less than 3% of CEOs were below 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) in height. 90% of CEOs are of above average height

Heightism isn't limited to the world of money. It also extends into the romantic realm. Here, things get brutal for short men.

1. Women prefer taller men

• in a 2019 survey performed by Ipsos in Hungary with over 500 respondents, the perfect height for men for 53% of participants was between 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in)

What Are the Effects of Heightism?

By now it should be obvious that heightism is not benign, nor is it a laughing matter. As a 156cm man, I have felt the harsh effects of heightism and it has permanently scarred my psyche and moulded me into who I am today, for better and for worse. There are no organisations or groups to come to my aid, and if I complain about the obvious discrimination I face, I am ridiculed. Heightism is suffered in private, and you are led to believe it is non-existent. Nobody has sympathy for you when you're short. You're always overlooked, never seen as a leader, you're always just "less than".

As you would imagine, research has shown that going through life as a short man has deleterious effects on the psyche.

• A study produced by the Universities of Groningen and Valencia, found that the taller a man was, the less anxious he felt about attractive, physically dominant, and socially powerful rivals

• it was found that a 5-cm (2-inch) increase in height was associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk

Conclusion

When @ToeBeans ignored me, I felt that pain of being a manlet. That familiar feeling of being unseen and rejected for factors outside of my control. I put my best foot forward and I got overlooked. What's sad is that I've always tried to be nice to @ToeBeans so I don't know what I did to deserve this treatment.

But all that doesn't matter. I don't matter. I'm just a worthless manlet so nothing I do matters. I feel like cutting myself but I'm not going to do it. I'm dedicated to having a benzo and cutting free 2025. Nobody will take me off my path to self-improvement. I can't control what others think of me but I can control myself.

CW: OP repeatedly misgenders her step son

SageSunrise: I am a step-mom to two wonderful girls age 12 and 13. Recently, the 12yo confessed to me that she "wants to be a boy." I asked her why she feels that way, and she wasn't able to explain, just "I don't know, I just do."

Now, she's always been kind of a tomboy. Over the summer she got a pixie cut haircut (with pink highlights), and she sometimes wears "boyish" clothes. But at the same time, she enjoys stereotypically feminine activities like baking cupcakes and playing with makeup. She loves all the current pop music girlies and knows every trivia fact about Sabrina Carpenter. As a younger kid she liked stereotypical "boy" toys like Nerf guns and dinosaurs (who didn't??) but also had a babydoll she treated as her actual child for YEARS.

So what I'm saying is - she's not a boy. She might be a lesbian (she hasnt confirmed it, but she is REALLY into Sabrina Carpenter...), but definitely not a boy.

How do I talk to her about this? I'm sure these feelings are coming from a confused discomfort with puberty hormones and body changes that she's misinterpreting as some kind of "gender dysphoria." The kids go to a very liberal private school and I know they're getting all the TRA messaging there (this is their last year there).

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice? I'm afraid if I just shut it down full stop she'll dig her heels in, but I'm definitely not going along with it. Their father (my husband) feels the same as me, and while their mom isn't as peaked, she has assured my husband she would never consider any medical intervention. Plus, we live in a super red state where "gender affirming care" is extremely hard to come by and might soon be illegal for minors.

Any advice?

Comments:

radicalacceptance: Sounds like you should let her parents handle it.

iconic: Did you read the post?

I am a step-mom to two wonderful girls

Step-parents are parents in every sense of the word. They take on the responsibility of caring for, nurturing, and guiding a child

She is trying to handle it, are you treating her as less of a parent?

radicalacceptance:It might hurt some people's feelings to accept reality but stepparents do not have the same rights or responsibilities as legal parents.

PiquedInterest: She's not one of the girls' biological parents, but she's still an adult closely involved in their life, not a random stranger who can just punt them off to their parents.

radicalacceptance: Oh? Why can't she punt this one?

Every divorced dad in the world wants to dump his parenting responsibilities on his new wife. OP doesn't need to play along. She doesn't have any legal authority over these kids' medical decisions anyway. She can and should let the parents handle it.

iconic: Step-parents contribute to the emotional, financial, and practical well-being of the family unit. It's not uncommon or wrong for them to become fully integrated into the fabric of a child's life and assume the responsibilities traditionally associated with "legal" parenthood

The law doesn't guarantee better decision-making capabilities. "Biological" or adoptive parents might not possess the knowledge or understanding to make the most informed decisions for a child's well-being. OP possesses the knowledge or understanding that "transgenderism" ruins bodies and lives. With this knowledge comes a moral obligation/responsibility to ensure that medical decisions are made in the child's best interest

The moral obligation/responsibility of a well-informed and loving step-parent supersedes the limitations of the law. Let OP handle it. Without information on the availability or involvement of the other "biological" parent, it's unwarranted to use the law to dismiss OP's concerns

radicalacceptance: Ok, but that's not actually how any of this works. The kids' parents make the kids' medical decisions and if OP disagrees it doesn't matter if she's objectively right or a better parent.

I'm sure dad loves checking out and letting OP handle this "because you're just so much better at this than I am" though. Divorced dad 101. Let's all be smarter than this?

the U-2 is so frickin' cool

Aevann has requested that I throw this helpful reference material together in light of recent events. So today we'll be discussing what to do if you discover an exploit in the site.

DO

• Privately modmail the jannies what you've found, what it does, and how it's done. You will be handsomely rewarded, proportionate to the severity of the issue found. At a minimum you'll be given this super cool rare badge and some shekels:

DON'T

• Tell anyone else

• Use the exploit beyond the bare minimum needed to confirm its existence

• Use the exploit beyond the bare minimum needed to confirm its existence

• USE THE EXPLOIT BEYOND THE BARE MINIMUM NEEDED TO CONFIRM ITS EXISTENCE

They need to be hexed with 9001 Friedmans.

When Trump pulls this off, and the US is wildly, rich and wealthy again; unlike anything anyone alive has seen in over 100 years, it will be undeniable to even the most radical leftist that Trump's policies have been an overwhelming success for the United States, and he will earn his place on Mount Rushmore and as one of the greatest presidents in American history.

It sounds very reasonable but then some butthole who doesn't believe in Jesus/is a communist shows up.

don't get how it makes us rich. We import something like $3T of goods every year. Even if we somehow collected 100% of that, it wouldn't cover half of our spending

Mandatory spending was $3t in FY24, $2.1t was gibs for the elderly.

A king comes to the rescue explaining that daddy will be reducing waste

How do you not understand that Trump is going to cut all our wasteful spending and shrink the size of the government to historic lows?

If we cut the arms and legs off the old people we have a smaller volume of old people so can pay them less.

For those counting it would also take 12 years with zero spending to pay off the debt.

Or just abolish the IRS/completely strip funding, fire everyone.

This is called impoundment and was the subject of his first impeachment. Congress has the enumerated power to spend not POTUS, POTUS can't just decide he doesn't like what they want to spend on and reverse it.

Literally. Communism is 100% tax, I.e. 100% slave. We're about 50-60% of the way there.

Average effective rate is 16.4% but carry-on.

Don't forget property taxes. I'd like to see property taxes held at a certain rate that will not increase. People need to be able to budget their money without the government randomly raising taxes that could eventually force you out of your home.

Others paying for services for you sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.

We'll replace China as the number 1 exporter in both products AND oil/energy production and exports.

Also, it is as though the jeering lefties are unaware of the first hundred plus years of US history. NO income tax, tariffs galore, and they were a successful country.

I wonder what else lasted approximately a century?

this is the natural conclusion of diversity politics. when you elevate foids and every other demographic to positions on the basis they are foids or whatever else, people become less trustworthy.

was this woman a competent pilot? probably, but it doesn't matter - diversity politics ruined any respect she might have.

i've been reading a lot of sirpings blogs and learning a lot from him, and I think he might be a genius.
