The gender wars continue 🥹

As a zoomer that's old enough to be working class now. Man, my childhood was fucked. At school, being a right wing troll was the norm, at least for boys. I was too.

The worst part is no-one cared, fucking "they'll grow out of it" and now everyone is suddenly in shock. When I talk about it to my friend today he's even in fucking denial about it, "Oh they didn't actually mean that, it was all jokes".

And our education system doesn't do anything to combat this shit either. Quite the opposite, the dogmatic authoritarian approach schools take coupled with zero-tolerance policies pretty much ensures people shouting this hateful shit get away with it.

After all saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" only gets annoyed looks, gets completely brushed off as "edgy" or something. But then when someone points out that person's shit, suddenly that's an attack???

Georgia Republican Slams Elon Musk Over Wildly Fake Election Video

Honestly tired of this shit. The fact that daily acts of treason are the norm in America now... The western world really needs to step up its game and stop relying on such an unworthy partner. The US doesn't even try or at least pretend to adhere to the UN human rights! It's honestly sad that we have come to the point where some considering fucking communist China a more reliable business partner. Good job America, you had it all, but clearly sucking foreign dictator cocks is more your style.

This is hilarious

I hate how the US has sexualized every random word or sentence. I'm here telling my American friend how funny it is that German's call smart phones a "handy", like "haha silly random word that makes sense tho haha :)", but no, ma American bud breaks down laughing imagining German's giving each other hand jobs.

Also the constant stopping during any sentence to go "oh, I know what YOU'RE thinking, get your mind out of the gutter!". No, I don't, and now I have the privilege of trying to remember every single word that wa just said and trying to see what inside there could possibly be a penis. This from of "joke" never fails to annoy the shit out of me. Like please can we just continue, or do you really have to recite this copy pasta while I stare like an absolute dunce at you?

Trump’s alleged ‘sexual proclivities’ graphically detailed in new Epstein documents

The "grab em by the pussy" guy, the person to proudly boast about being able to look at young girls and publicly talking about his daughter in a sexual manner, just full on fantasizing about her on live television, IS A SERIAL RAPIST?!? Never would have guessed, totally came out of the blue.

Anybody supporting this monster is a blissful moron that doesn't even listen to what their great leader says, or is equally as fucking repulsive.

IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

As much as I love to hate on apple, any of this format shit is 100% Windows bullshit. It's not just pictures, with shit like webm, or some random video codecs it'll ask you to FUCKING BUY! But even shit like Windows only supporting some like 3 file formats from the god knows how many out there. Ever since I switched to Linux (heck, even fucking MacOS would do better) all this stopped being an issue. Fuck windows for literally only supporting their special selection of formats. There's a good reason why the first step of many people installing windows is also Installing VLC or MUCH superior image viewers. Because Microsoft chooses to not support most things out there!

New York man pleads guilty to running Chinese police station in Manhattan

Reply in thread

That's the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. "What did he really do?" Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it's China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It's iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

Stitch rule

Jesus christ, it feels like everyday I learn a new dreadful horror about American life. How the fuck have we not run out of these creepy facts yet? The country is soo fucked up, I swear to god... It's honestly hard to belive it's a real place, it didn't really sink in how much of a shit hole it is until I saw it my self... It's a twilight world where pain is a virtue for some reason.

The US is collapsing

The American prison system is designed to make money. Prisons get paid based on how many people they house. Making sure people don't wind up in prison is literally the last thing the warden wants to do. Anybody thinking America is gonna change it's ways out of the goodness of its heart is fucking delusional.

It's definitely the straws

This is always a clash when I end up talking to my parents. My home country is slowly falling apart economically and they're completely fucking blind to it. Especially ironic cus one of em is a fucking portfolio manager.

Like when I even mention that affording anything it getting worse and worse each year, while the rich consistently break income records, they derail the discussion by saying like "but don't you have it great tho" (I earn well above average and still feel the pressure, THAT'S THE POINT) or mention that some rich assholes renovated some random castle and that without him it would juts be a ruin and that's sad or some shit.

And we aren't even getting that political yet. Just saying "hey mom, my future be looking unsustainable".

It's the crippling fear or being called a creep again for simply breathing the same air. Society really fucks with the self esteem of young men.
