  Actually this is pretty good evidence they haven’t started doing that yet. There would be leaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure that your second point is still a constant, though this is just an opinion and I’m open to discussion on this. They seem to have solved the problem of people not being up to mass killings, through desensitization through social media (I’m thinking of telegram groups specifically). There have been a lot of cases shown recently of people taking outright glee in their and others’ grotesque murders, en masse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the second half of what I said covers that and again my advice is to ask a professional who is supportive of and experienced in helping people deal with these sorts of thoughts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Correlation equals causation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but like the thing that causes addiction is poverty (or some other unmet needs or trauma) so it doesn’t really matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just gonna come out and say what other people seem to be dancing around. These are things that a trans man would say. Not saying that’s necessarily the case for you but like it’s probably worth trying to find someone affirming and professional to discuss dysphoria with.

  Oops we accidentally cut earth like a big wheel of cheese

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's my JUUL?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, drugs aren’t a good coping mechanism for trauma in general?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's my JUUL?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use, personally, though I have had opiates for acute pain as most people have. I’m just not a judgemental asshole. Opium isn’t the problem, fent is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where's my JUUL?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.

  A lot of them will just come unbolted with a regular torx wrench, from what I hear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Knows more than most scientists… according to one extremely reliable source: themselves⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s also about cult mindsets. If a scientist says the earth is billions of years old that also means there’s no heaven and the alienated existence under capitalism is all you get. There’s a phrase I heard from religious-types: “would you rather this be the closest you get to heaven or hell?” They really see earth as hell and are only here to recruit and die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No shit I mean like, how is that not really gross? Does it clean the towel? Or move it from a clean to dirty compartment for someone to clean each day when it runs out? Isn’t it thicker than a paper towel, and therefore gonna run out faster?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wtf is that

  Does that mean if the executive branch just does it it’s OK?

  Boycotts just brought back * Jimmy Kimmel like 2 weeks ago.

  BDS worked on South Africa, but it was a pariah state at the national level in most of the world. You have to get your taxes to stop going to Israel for that to work tbh.

  Doesn’t mean I don’t participate. What little we can do does a little, and is worth doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlueSky has drama so the Fedi-Marketers are waking from their slumber⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The waffles thing is because Jesse Singal keeps referencing a tweet that says something to the effect of “people take someone saying ‘I like pancakes’ to mean ‘I hate waffles’”, which, yeah, if you’re saying “I like straight white Christian men” you’re probably saying you hate at least some other groups but anyway that’s where the dog whistle came from.

  Vulva is external only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it can be, but there are also other ways to use the term. It also is the only word in English that refers to the whole gentalia, not just the vagina or some other part. Gee I wonder why the word for female genatalia is considered dirty to a bunch of puritanical Americans. Reclaim it.
