i have noise cancelling headphones on but awooooo

it is so very, very weird the day someone you know dies and you just have to keep doing normal ass daily shit like picking up meds and buying groceries. i will die someday too & my peeps will also have to keep doing normal shit that day. weird. i am the first person to make this observation.

Internet Guys across the gamut from Jeff Nippard to Mark Manson will tell manosphere dorks "look, appearance really doesn't matter as much as personality, we fucking swear" and literally all of the women will say "yes, exactly, fucking listen to us" and yet some guys just won't learn this lesson.

maybe i'm just speaking for myself here but I'd much rather a guy be fat than violent and unstable

Patricia Heaton backed a petition urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be barred from New York City's 25th 9/11 anniversary.

look i know this is going to sound *exactly* like the stereotype of the CrossFit cultist, but the cure to the male loneliness epidemic is CF. i missed half of last week because i needed to recover due to heat/lack of sleep, and today *multiple* people said they missed me and asked how i was doing

Olivia Miles is who casuals think Caitlin Clark is

it's a new day, i wonder if bluesky is going to be more empathetic and decent to each other today!

wait wait wait wait wait i can't believe i didn't notice this before we're supposed to hate @kenjennings.bsky.social for *enjoying NYTimes puzzles with his wife* right? he's "kkken jennings" for not boycotting them, right? then how has *this* gone uncancelled? we're not being hypocrites right?

"men are more vulnerable to flattery than women" but also "you're correct when you flatter me" rofl rofl rofl

*vigorously taps the sign even harder today, bluesky*

I'm so, so very open to reading some research. As I said to another respondant who seemed well-meaning (as opposed to abusive, lol) from my experience (such as it is) the vulnerability to flattery tends to track more along class lines than it does gender lines.

A sociologist is pointing out how a technology is impacting one group more than another. There is also research that backs this.

I missed this response in the torrent of abuse, catching it now... I agree that we were socialized to aggressively thrust our "rational" feelings out there! But... I also think girls/women are getting that socialization now too, for what its worth. Also, the argument was seemingly...

you're correct in that regard but i think that's crossing the streams a bit; if the topic was "men are more likely than women to use generative AIs to make naked pics of the opposite gender" i can't imagine there would be any argument.

Jane Roe Has Hope - Pro-choice Adoptee@janeroehopeful.bsky.social · 4d ago

Men who go to Hooters think the servers really like them as individual people. Is there a social equivalent for women in the same way? Have never seen a restaurant chain called Bulges, for example.

the biggest AI-booster in my real life is a woman, sadly. she used chatgpt to help design her halloween theme :(

"like many things it seems to hit hardest at the vulnerable" oh my god, nail meet hammer. @hurtthisday.blacksky.app well said

Tired while Black@hurtthisday.blacksky.app · 4d ago

I finished! Also yeah I don’t think being a woman has anything to do with your likelihood to be addicted. It didn’t seem to cite any stats about gender at all actually. My main takeaway is that like many things it seems to hit hardest at the vulnerable

*pokes head into bluesky* everyone hates ken jennings everyone hates hank green *steps away from the keyboard*

Incorrect. We have it on video. The best weapon against ICE was *the jar of piss.*

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 4d ago

Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.

Look, growing up I admired Playboy not just for the boobies/articles, but because they had the ethos of "you should be an intelligent, articulate, cultured, well-dressed man to earn the right to bed beautiful women". The Hef skeletons soured the brand, but @playboy.com cooking is a return to form.

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
