Copy pasting the first part of this so lazy girlies don't have to experience the stress of !clinklickers

As the sheen on dating apps dulls, more Americans are reporting bad experiences on them. Frustrated by bots, subscription costs and high effort-to-reward ratios, Gen Z is fleeing the apps in hope of real-life meet-cutes. Earlier this year, “Bustle” declared that dating apps are in their “flop era.”

Not all of the apps are taking this backlash without a fight. On Tuesday, after months of internal shake-ups and stock market woes, Bumble took a shot at winning back hearts and minds with a redesign, which includes a break with the app's requirement that women make the first move.

A new feature, which the company has called “Opening Moves,” allows women to place on their profiles a question, like “What is your dream vacation?,” to which men who match can respond. (In nonbinary and same-gender matches, both sides can include these prompts.)

The shift is a major one for Bumble. Until now, a man who matched with a woman on the app had to wait for her to message him. If she did not initiate a conversation, the match would expire after 24 hours.

Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 because of her own personal experiences. She said that the idea was to give women more control. “I had a series of bad relationships, and I felt I was controlled by a man,” she added, “whether it was: Don't wear this or, You can't hang out with this person or, You need to be home at this time.”

But over the years, Bumble received feedback from women who found that making the first move was “a lot of work” or “a burden,” and Ms. Wolfe Herd began thinking about how to release the pressure. Opening Moves, she said, is a result of that process, a way to let women maintain control while not feeling the stress of initiating all of the conversations.

But not copying the whole thing because The Gray Lady be a notoriously litigious b-word.

Beautytok is all up in the shit right now and it's actually kind of funny so ima tell you all about it!

A few months ago a new makeup brand called Youthforia caught some flak from black beauty creators because their foundation shade range was basically non-existent for black people, and that's not allowed unless you're a Korean or Japanese brand (for obvious reasons). The owner of the brand (who is asian but is American and Youthforia is an American brand) actually came out and tried to defend their shade range by UNIRONICALLY saying it was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and was met with even more criticism because we all aren't fricking BLIND and that's STUPID. AND all of the shades on the box were NOT the shades that you get in the bottle so darker shades were actually even lighter than advertised which only made people more upset.

SO to appease the masses Youthforia expanded their shade range and introduced like 5 new shades for darker skintoned people and now everyone wants to burn down their HQ.

IT'S FRICKING SHOE POLISH BLACK. This shade is a literal asian-on-black hate crime and everyone is soooooper mad because it's LITERALLY black face paint. The shade is being compared to minstrel makeup and now Youthforia is sooper raycist.

Like you know if Time fricking magazine orders a rush job article about your debacle you done fricked up good.

Anyhoo tiktok is all abuzz with their pitchforks and you can pick pretty much any video about it and watch jaqqoffs slaughter each other in the comments with whataboutism and "muh cousin's neighbor is black like a tire and would love this!"

It's great.

For many, many years, I've recorded that my girls outperform the boys by a wide margin. In my case, the measured difference between them is so large that I cannot help but think something is wrong with our boys, particularly after I also account for their general behavior.

If I test 100 children and score work blindly, with names removed, the top 90% will be girls, and it has been so for a couple decades.

Sounds like you teach grade school.

Boys largely struggle to follow simple directions. Working memory is poor. Executive functioning is minimal. They are impulsive to the core, constantly distracted, and unable to perform at grade level. Compared to girls, the boys leave me feeling as if I where working with infants and toddlers. Most students we have in our special education programs and those with IEPs are boys. In every class I've had, most of the boys strike me as being mentally handicapped. Yes, there are outliers. There are always outliers amongst both genders.

lmao These literal children would rather play than listen to me, are they retarded?

I don't know if boys ever catch up,

Considering !fellas outperform !biofoids almost across the board I'd say they do more than catch up

but I do not suspect that to be the case, given the deltas I record every day. I'm familiar with the old anecdotes of boys maturing slower and being a couple years behind the emotional development of girls, but this appears to be something more ominous.

No, boys are just tuff enough that they don't falter the moment you crack the whip.

its called the patriarchy. Boys are not held to the same social standards as girls.

Then why are boys the most likely to be punished?

The patriarchy, which leaves boys behind?

The sentiment is that low achieving boys will achieve higher than high achieving women because of patriarchal standards.

These boys DON'T have to try hard because the system is meant for them to succeed.

Are you literally retarded? They don't try because they don't care. They're children who'd rather be playing amongst themselves.

Except that's not an explanation for what's happening here. Boys aren't doing worse in high school because they "have an understanding" that they will succeed later on. They're just...failing.

They aren't just failing in K-12, either. The success of boys in a continual downtrend at college as well.

It's bizarre to me that someone would look at a kid who is going to drop out of high school and say "Well, the patriarchy!" like it's a point worth making in that context.

It's because teachers are made up solely of unicels who had it pounded into their head that patriarchy was the great satan that caused all sin in the world.

Teachers are mostly women. Parents who actually parent are mostly women. Males are taught to not respect or listen to women. It's not difficult stuff to grasp.

That doesn't track at all. Somehow the majority of authority in a boys life is female and he's taught not to respect them? No, hr learns not to respect them. Seeing teachers fail basic physical tasks, bow down to empty authority and go on childish power trips teaches him not to respect women.

Is this... The fabled second account? It couldn't be... But it speaks exactly like the other one. And acts like it too? Did you forget to switch back? Careless.To be clear, you never argued outside of pooping on me. And even when you were, that was on another comment, another discussion, and you barely managed to articulate the point. You didn't even win there, we ended up agreeing. Our argument here, was that you were not ok. Which is obviously true at this point. You fit right in with those so-called illiterate bastards, but I haven't found a lot here on this sub.You don't seem to understand the concept any better than your theoretical inferiors. In fact, I'd rate you inferior to even the dumbest person on this sub. I'd rate you at a 94 out of 200. And this is the most coherent you've been all night. "Getting on your level" would necessitate a huge step down, I might even need to become a 4channer on /pol/ or an actual fascist to become as stupid as you. In fact, from here on, I'... (2)

Asmongold fan with a dogshit take still ultimately missing the point of this corpse of a sub is hilarious. Bite the curb lol.There is no “disagreeing” you either read the material, or you don't. The lonely cornballs here can't do that, and are therefore inferiors. Don't make a bad faith sub to cry and shit your pants while I run circles around you if the best argument you've got is “STOP LORDING INFO OVER MEEE” (0)

I lost my previous draft, windows update, so this will be a lot shorter. Ad hominem, again. I'm not sure where the Asmongold comment came from, projection? Or are you simply looking for a crack to hammer into, as you fundamentally have no argument.How many ribs did you need to remove to suck your own peepee that hard. I'm not even surprised, of course an egotistical piece of shit like you would refer to people who disagree with you as inferiors. Winning an argument(By that I mean insulting people and laughing at them, because I doubt you've ever actually won an argument) on the internet definitely makes you an intelligent person who hasn't wasted three hours of their time. And I say that, aware this is very stupid. But as to calling other people inferiors? We've found the rot I think. That sounds a lot like Gobineau's ideology justifying racism, I bet it's for similar reason's too. I can't help but wonder just when you became garbage.

Oh there's no “if” the lonely blancos association has already died.

My manager makes us “weigh in” before starting a shift and then again before a shift meal

I don't really know what to make of this. We've been under a lot of pressure to portion control. My manager is always freaking out when we are low on anything at all and says we aren't hitting our “numbers”.

I swear he's getting paranoid due to the pressure from corporate. There's a lot of concern about employees eating on the job and “skimping off the bins”. He decided to remedy this with a scale. I shit you not.

Before every shift we have to weigh in. Before we have our shift meal he makes us weigh in again. He says if we've gained weight we don't get to have a shift meal because obviously we are skimping? Apparently water doesn't weigh anything.

This feels illegal but he says it's not because it's to prevent theft and that he keeps the numbers private. Has this been implemented at other chipotles? Please help.

The last few days on Twitter people have been mocking women who think that they'd be safer lost in the woods next to a bear than a random man.

Of course women will jump into these conversations and say "but men bad" and get flamed, then cry about how mean the internet is to the mentally handicapped.

Today, I saw this one, who seemingly proudly announces that she purposefully buzzkills parties.

"Restrictive"

"Atypical" meaning the exact opposite of anorexia

I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.

Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

In six short days, this tale of moidal dysfunction has gone from /r/NotHowGirlsWork to Xhitter, to the NYPost (the house media organ of the angry Xiterverse) and now back to /r/2XC.

Some 30 police officers in Sweden provoked public outrage in yet another major scandal involving gang activity. It appears that law enforcement officials allowed themselves to be seduced and exploited by gangsters to whom they gave information that later led to several deadly altercations on the streets.

The shocking details were first revealed in an extensive investigation published by the local daily Dagens Nyheter (DN), which found over 500 instances of Swedish police personnel leaking classified information. Gang members were briefed regarding ongoing investigations, upcoming raids, or competing gangs.

DN's report also found evidence that leaks concerning information on rival criminals assisted in several attacks on enemy gang members, including at least four murders.

The report—based on conversations with some 50 sources in the law enforcement community and the criminal underworld, backed by hundreds of public documents—also revealed that, in many cases, the gang members used quite unconventional methods to obtain the information, such as starting “sexual relationships with strategically selected [female] police officers.”

One example is “Elin,” who met her gangster boyfriend through a dating app when she was still a cadet. Regularly, she chose to feed him classified information she obtained through illegal searches over the course of four years until she was caught.

The internet has transformed how Gen Z communicates. Our language is built on memes and a collective sense of wry existentialism, with our humor often turning dark or potentially dangerous, as it has when borrowing from the online community of men called “involuntary celibates.”

Incels (as they're known) are infamous for sharing misogynistic attitudes and bitter hostility toward the romantically successful. Their ideology has even turned deadly: The 2014 Isla Vista and 2018 Toronto incel terrorist attacks killed a collective 17 people and injured another 29. Yet, somehow, incels' hateful rhetoric has bizarrely become popularized via Gen Z slang.

In certain circles, for instance, it's common to hear the suffix “pilled” as a funny way to say “convinced into a lifestyle.” Instead of “I now love eating burritos,” for instance, one might say, “I'm so burritopilled.” “Pilled” as a suffix comes from a scene in 1999's “The Matrix” where Neo (Keanu Reeves) had to choose between the red pill and the blue pill, to experiencing only that illusion., but the modern sense is formed through analogy with “blackpilled,” an online slang term meaning “accepting incel ideology.” Similarly, the popular suffix “maxxing” for “maximizing” (e.g., “I'm burritomaxxing” instead of “I'm eating a lot of burritos”) is drawn from the incel idea of “looksmaxxing,” or “maximizing attractiveness” through surgical or cosmetic techniques.

Then there's the word “cucked” for “weakened” or “emasculated.” If the taqueria is out of burritos, you might be “tacocucked,” drawing on the incel idea of being sexually emasculated by more attractive “chads.” And, finally, we have the word “sigma” for “assertive male,” which comes from an incel's desired position outside the social hierarchy.

So how did we get here? How did these words travel from a fringe, misanthropic internet subculture to relatively widespread use?
