- Comment on Major media company asks itself why major media companies aren't exposing what's going on--"Where's Mitch McConnell?" mystery exposes media failures 1 day ago:
And at that time, TikTok was still mostly free and open, and general public sentiment was firmly with the workers. Even with the traditional media not really giving a clear picture of the events, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and Millennials were all firmly with the workers. Biden had a softball, but he chose the rich.

I dont know why you got down voted. You’re right.
The establishment democrats tried to rig the election. It wasn’t sloppy voter fraud. They tried to pick their candidate with Harris (after already forcing us to vote for Biden the first time). It was clear in 2020 that the most popular candidate was Bernie. They just made sure to have 20 other primary candidates with different enough edge issues that it kept the vote split.
As soon as I heard Biden’s back then I knew we were fucked. That the democrats were just good cop. Biden proved it when he sided with the railroad companies during the workers strike.
And he proved it again when he dropped out after the 2024 primaries and endorsed Kamila.
It was bullshit then and its still bullshit now and we all remember it.

It’s not even a horny thing, but the one on the left is just too distracting. I’d be staring at it the whole time just trying to figure out why Supergirl made that choice.
Her thighs would be cold the whole time. Any major combat movement is going to make her bits show. It looks like she literally cut her shorts into that shape.
Like… I like attractive women too, but come on, guys. There’s no way in hell she’d wear her costume like that. I wouldn’t even be able to enjoy it in the toxic male-gaze way. I’d just be annoyed by it the whole time.

If i cant log in with an independent email then im not ltailgate.
I had the same problem yesterday as I was investigating tailscale. And while I get it for that service there’s no reason for it for some of the other services that ask me to link my other accounts to them as a means of logging in.
No. I will not consolidate my log-in profiles under companies that dont see me as a person.
Anonymous or nothing. Period.

I get you.
The day you realize that you’re more than your mask can be earth-shattering. I still remember mine, and it took me another decade to start learning what who I was behind it.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think I’m pretty vanilla myself. Maybe a little cookie dough in there for variety, idk. But there are some people in the kink community who are truly amazing. There are some shitty people in there too, but the good ones? Sterling. I’m proud to keep them in my circle of friends.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
This isn’t limited to sexual preferences, though. That’s just peacocking. People who like something for clout are often excessive in their bragging about it. The people who actually like a thing, sexual or otherwise, tend to integrate it and just enjoy that thing for themselves.
Unless you’re autistic, then everyone gets to know about it. But that’s noticeable too.
The difference is between saying, “I’m a freak in bed,” and “Let me tell you about this one super-niche part of the rope-play community and how it’s actually more of an art form than anything sexual.”
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
This gave me a bit of a giggle because I used to know a real one that will show off their work. Not as a trophy or anything, more like, “This is how bruised I’m willing to make someone.”
All pictures were taken from the neck down and with consent.
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
For sure. All of my friends in the community HATE 50 Shades of Grey
- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 3 weeks ago:
Kink is a spectrum, and I haven’t been exploring it for a few years, but from what I remember, the various communities of kink are always mismatched.
There are always more sub men than there are dom women. This compounds when you realize that usually those sub men are looking for certain types of play that the doms aren’t into. Dommy mommies and what have you.
Like, I think of the feminization community. It’s hard to find people who like feminization but don’t also like cuck play, or race-cuck play, which to me is gross but is a major aspect of that community.
Matching freaks is hard, man.

- Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs 2 months ago:
That’s like admitting they live in a completely different world. That’s what blows my mind. By implication, he’s admitting the wealthy exist in a completely separate reality. That the shadow economy is real, and that the average person is effectively a second-class citizen. It’s an acknowledgment that it is, and maybe always has been, us versus them. I’ve always said they exist in a completely different world, one that operates on different rules than the rest of us. More than just the obvious. Everything you posted, culture, norms, ancestry, history. They will never change to help you. They will always operate from a place of exploitation. It’s their culture. They made it so.

There are some people who have just been filled with so much wrong information over the course of their life that it’s impossible to reach them. Anything you say to them will have a keyword that puts their guard up, any fact you share would be fake news. It’s like their brains have been encrypted with the propaganda and hate. It’s pavlovian. I try to recognize it in myself and maintain an open mind but it’s hard.

- Comment on AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 2 months ago:
It was my understanding that it was a misconception that companies are legally bound to have an ROI or whatever. Not an economist so IDK. I just remember hearing that from several places. Regardless, the buyer-seller relationship is “I give you money, and you give me a product or service”. The investor-seller relationship is “We give you money, and you give us more money, and we don’t care how you do it.”
Only very technically. Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. still made the shareholder a priority over the product or the customer. It’s a misconception that actual profit is the legal requirement. I suppose I’m guilty of furthering it, but it’s easier to keep the oversimplification than to explain the nuances when the outcome is the same.

It’s this.
and it’s always worth distinguishing between executives and investors.
Executives are going to push the problem, but the core issue with most things related to bad products is often due to shareholders. In the US, where most of these companies are based, a publicly traded company is expected to make money for its shareholders. Shareholders have subplanted customers in the companies ethical obligagions. The law has been used to make this national policy. Controlling shareholders can (and do) vote to remove company leadership that won’t act how they want. It is not just that they have to generate revenue, they have to generate as much revenue as possible as determined by shareholders.
If a company goes public, It’s only a matter of time until it’s product goes to shit.
