I got the same response from my 65 yo in-laws, it ain’t Gen Z

I didn’t mean to imply it was an ability issue, they are just unwilling to change lol, they don’t care about privacy. Classic “Well I don’t have anything to hide” fallacy.

I just get so annoyed whenever someone broadly says “god I hate the youth for being so dumb”, idiots come in all ages y’all

I HATE titles like these with a PASSION, titles DESTROYED with FEELINGS

It’s full of LGBTQ+ hate as well, fuckin gross

Wow, thank you for the history lesson! I had no idea of the surrounding context of the artist and politics at the time. This has always been one of my favorite paintings.

I’m so sick of corporations expanding into other areas, fuck off CNN

I haven’t dug through their post history, but this post isn’t the definition of tankie, not all communists are tankies. Tankie = the pricks who support the Russian evasion, deny Tiananmen square, etc. Fuck tankies, but this post ain’t that

Awesome, glad to hear it. Hopefully the mirrors will go down as well? Though I suppose it doesn’t matter if they can’t post to it anymore, it will fade away

What is so hard to understand? A ton of pregnancies are accidental. You may be from a place that demonizes or covers it up, but it happens. Your lack of acceptance does not change the facts.

The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even fifty, and that he was caught because he was "sloppy".

He will be up for parole in a few more years. Hopefully they recognize that he is at high risk of killing another woman if they let him out.

edit: I did not recognize the reference 🫠

I can still see all the hateful posts, is that just me?

I struggle with this too sometimes, from a couple angles. Primarily, I’m worried about how people perceive me. I’ve been practicing not giving a shit what other people think of me for about a decade now, and I’m pretty good, but it doesn’t always work. I have to remind myself that it just doesn’t matter if a stranger disagrees with me, or thinks I’m a fuckwad/idiot/etc, just like my opinion of them doesn’t change their life. We don’t know each other. Their negative opinion of me has no real impact on my life, and holding onto that helps me move past caring about their opinion.

Secondarily, I stress about misinformation/toxic ideas being spread. I pipe up in a lot of discussions about feminism and the patriarchy because I want to clarify misconceptions that a lot of people hold about these issues. But, as far as I know, I’ve never changed someone’s mind, and the effort just brings me down. I have to remind myself it’s not my responsibility to teach someone why they might be wrong. The odds that I would actually succeed are very low, unless the person is genuine and asking questions in good faith.

ETA: lastly, I ask myself how I want to feel today. Do I want this random asshole to ruin my day? I don’t want to give them that power over me. So I work to take back that power and make sure I have a good day in spite of their efforts.

It’s #3 he doesn’t get, not sentence 3. In another comment he mentions believing that accidental pregnancies never happen in his country.

Yes, it’s why I generally dislike YouTube. I really don’t appreciate the emotional manipulation. It’s also why I try to find unbiased news sources that don’t editorialize to me, I can’t stand clickbait in any form. I like communities like these that help filter out click-bait garbage and instead promote content that is good on its own, instead of content that relies on emotional manipulation.

I still have more than enough content than I could ever consume in my life, even with eliminating click-bait. There are plenty of people with a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints that are able to convey their messaging without emotional manipulation, tons that I disagree with and/or that provide new perspectives. If you primarily use YouTube, I can see why you would think 99% of people do this, but it’s fairly localized to YT and similar sites.

Super cool! I wish they would explain how they realized it was popcorn specifically though. Not that I doubt their conclusion, I am just curious. To me, that picture looks like, well, weed, but also like normal corn-on-the-cob. Is popcorn-on-the-cob a thing?

I really like your comics! I barely understand this one but I’m looking forward to more

I cycle through hobbies a lot (thanks ADHD), but currently reading is my favorite! Sometimes painting, or playing games (fallout, DnD, sims, LoZ, ACNH), watching tv (Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Our Planet atm) and movies (LOVING everything A24 rn), cuddling my cats, geeking out about nature/science things, fashion (I’m a maximalist!), and reorganizing my bookshelf. There have been a handful of other creative outlets I hop in and out of like sewing, knitting, and drawing, but they never stick.

You? I noticed you’re the one who made a couple new fashion communities recently, I love them! I love inspo albums but have no energy to make them myself (classic lurker issue).

That was a lot of parenthesis but I just smoked some weed so this is kinda stream of consciousness lol
