i think the apps are designed to degrade you until you feel worthless and desperate, so that you pay whatever you have to in hopes of getting a match, and engineered in such a way that even when you do it's destined to fail so you end up paying even more money and getting even less

Gunna wheel this one back out...

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims. Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access. Are you getting it yet?

Leftists are supposed to wait for a more convenient season for change. Getting the most votes in elections just shows how out of touch they are with most voters.

Seen people talking about “sex addiction” and “porn addiction"? These are not real medical diagnoses. Dr. Amy Marsh explains, with information for people who are concerned about the role of sex and porn in their lives. www.scarleteen.com/read/sex-s...

breaking a baby’s collarbone isn’t a bridge too far!!!!! i know i shouldn’t be surprised but FUCK that’s too dark for my soul to handle

If they can send even a single scientist to prison over something that plainly did not happen, they can imprison anyone for anything at any time for any reason. Those are the stakes. You don’t hear that from legacy publications like NYT.

Max Miller story is providing incredible cover for the 65 year old NC Republican congressman who was just found to have been texting his female staff shit like "I had to leave the party because you brought your bf with you 🥺"

Conservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious

New: Police are being told to hide the fact that they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them in both encounters with citizens but ALSO in their official police reports: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...

‘DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE’: How Cops Are Trying to Hide Their Use of Flock

“DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. DO NOT MENTION ALPR USAGE IN YOUR REPORT OR COMPLAINT."

I don't take offense when someone, white or not, complains about "white people" because as a group, there are PROBLEMS. I know they don't mean me just because I'm white...unless I did the white people thing and deserve the insult. In which case, I'll take it. Why is this so hard for people?

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

The US didn’t have fucking “lockdowns”. Their kids had to remote learn because the virus had so many unknowns, restaurants were only doing takeout and delivery for a bit, and they had to wear a mask in public. No one on fucking earth is softer than an American who is slightly inconvenienced.

the Covid lockdowns people imagined happened—or remember as happening under Biden—weren't real things the people complaining about them also just ignore how the liberal/commie hellscape of Seattle made it actually illegal to be outside past curfew in June 2020 re: city's police brutality protests

Seattle Cancels Curfew Order for the Rest of the Week After Pressure Mounts

Restaurants frustrated with shifting times and a lack of communication vocally criticized the curfew

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

The whole “Eating Clean” crunchy granola hippy nonsense is just re-inventing Kellogg and Graham’a bullshit from first principles. A life without seasoning, fat, salt, and acid is a half-life.

The timing that she just happened to make her anti-trans statement right before a two stop at Seattle and Portland…(we are going to react to bigotry.) And with the staged props in and out to max interaction with people. I’m tired of these bigots using the PNW as their launching pad. It is gross.

the only thing to be said about covid lockdowns is that it revealed the startling number of people who feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract that they also do not feel bound by

it is absurd how delusional you have to be to think that harm reduction is the problem and not the fact that you’re abandoning people as they live in squalor on the sidewalk or in tents or even bouncing between shelters people can’t imagine if they didn’t have a home, what it would do to them

As someone who has made her living in the arts (writing, photography, etc.) I would rather fucking die than reward the people who stole 30 years of my work to make those condescending suicide bots in any way. They can all go to hell.

"Hey, have you thought about arresting drug users?" isn't a bold new idea, it is what we did for decades — and are still doing. Powell even admits this: The new mayor is doing encampment sweeps... Just like the last mayor. And the one before that.

It's love vs hunger all the way down. Profit is eating the world. Every bite is a bite out of the future. That's why using AI feels toxic to sharply intuitive, well-informed brains. AI, trained to serve profit, is eating the dying planet upon which we all depend for survival. 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎

Having morals has never been cheap. But I think the cost of abandoning them, while whispering to yourself that you're not, is a hell of a lot higher than I'll ever be willing to pay.

More generally, there are no good-faith conservative arguments at all. Zero. None. They are never well-meaning but misguided, they are never bringing up legitimate concerns, they are never Just Asking Questions.

there is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports
