Trump’s getting closer to being able to launch the nuke he wanted to in his first presidency. How exciting for him.

you can come in whoever you want

i am being sincere, yes. i often try to face when i am wrong to determine why i acted the way i did. i’m glad you find it difficult to wrap your head around. that means you haven’t lived through what i have. nobody should. without going into much detail, i was bullied out of high school when my life was threatened. that’s the kind of place i grew up in.

i am fighting several demons still but thank you for your kind words.

that is a fair point. it’s a sore subject for me, unfortunately. i may not have approached the topic in the right head space having grown up experiencing shame for simply being attracted to the same gender. i’d watch couples smile and laugh together and say, “we’re trying for a baby,” clearly implying what i was describing, and the room just reacting positively and encouragingly. you see that over and over and you can’t help but develop a negative connection to the phrase. what you said is of course true. i don’t react with disgust towards anyone, so at least i’m not making my discomfort known, but you’ve given me something to mull over and try to correct. sometimes you forget that you aren’t being attacked anymore when it’s all you’ve been used to.

what the fuck else would that statement imply

this is merely an act to show his intolerance of LGBT+ issues. it has nothing to do with “all help seekers” or anything else he may claim. we are being told our youth do not matter. they are not worth investing in and their problems do not deserve federal support.

what are you talking about? tell me what “trying for a baby” means if not having PIV sex lol. hey buddy, you don’t know how it is to be gay in the workplace, so maybe don’t tell me what i should or shouldn’t do when my livelihood is on the line. think about your privilege here and who you are talking to. my point was this: people can make statements that IMPLY they are having sex with each other but i can’t be assured my statement of merely cuddling with my boyfriend won’t get me harassed or made to feel othered.

here’s the thing i don’t know if many consider: being able to announce to an entire room full of strangers that you are having unprotected penetrative vaginal sex for the purpose of procreation is a unique experience only straight people are allowed to have. if i, as a gay person, merely make mention of my same-sex love life it may be seen as me “shoving it in everyone’s faces” or “inappropriate,” because the sex i have is pointless and therefore not worthy of the same kind of social acknowledgment. it’s frustrating to hear straight people say shit like “yeah we’re trying for a baby” because all i want to do is tell people i’m going to spend the weekend cuddled up with my boyfriend and i often can’t.

anything with John C Reilly is automatically great, and since the song is already great itself this is extra great.

honestly, it reads more like the man with the rifle pointed into a crowd and started advancing towards them. literally protecting others is not larper behavior. a larper would incorrectly identify the time and place, but it’s not as though the shooting here was unjustified; an immediate threat to multiple lives was present. now, should the peacekeeper be the one to hold a gun? it doesn’t seem like it. i am confused as to why they are not being pursued for charges but whatever, the system doesn’t make sense to me anyway.

people were easily swayed by Facebook posts to support and further a genocide in Myanmar. a sophisticated chatbot that mimics human intelligence and agency is going to do untold damage to the world. ChatGPT is predictive text. Period. Every time. It is not suddenly gaining sentience or awareness or breaking through the Matrix. people are going to listen to these LLMs because they present its information as accurate regardless of the warning saying it could not be. this shit is so worrying.

they will never see it this way because they struggle to make connections of what’s happening now to what will be happening in the future. right now they are suffering financially and making poverty wages for their labor. it’s a dog eat dog world out there and these people become vicious and learn to play the game of capitalism, and whatever the repercussions are down the line, well, that’s a problem for the future, they gotta focus on the now. so even if they are an inevitable target of the system, they aren’t right now, so… who cares?

100%

i’d agree but if you read into how they discovered Hortman and her spouse it’s because police were sent to the house of Sen. Hoffman and when they arrived they found him and his wife shot which caused them to proactively check on Sen. Hortman and her husband, but when they arrived they found her and her husband dead. doesn’t make it not a cop but imitating them is far more common and this sounds politically motivated. they also found the suspect’s manifesto with a list of names in his car outside Hortman’s home.

y’know it doesn’t bother me to target politicians but i just know the people who did this are fascists and i wouldn’t be surprised if this was partly in response to the ICE protests in LA and how Trump and his team of demons are categorizing the demonstrations as liberal lefty chaos. these fascists ruin the effectiveness of a good execution.

our election was, literally, stolen. Trump and his fascists have spent years calling his loss to Biden “stolen” which ultimately harmed any real attempts at calling out future election results. many statisticians are sounding the alarm bells—something is wrong. the data doesn’t lie and the voting heavily implies manipulation. there is a group investigating our election results and making their findings public. they are very concerned with what they are uncovering.

no lol

it doesn’t matter how easy or difficult it will be it needs to be done. the alternative is unfathomable.

woah awesome thank you! didn’t know this happened.
