“Unacceptable!”
… Except the malleable masses, addled on rage-bait, rightwing ‘news’ and bot-driven social media not only accept it but mindlessly endorse and defend it.

Not sure that analogy quite lands. Words like ‘mama’ are arbitrary—you could change them and nothing real changes. But sexual orientation isn’t just a label, it’s describing consistent patterns in who people are attracted to, and those show up across cultures.
I think it’s more like colour: the boundaries (like where blue becomes green) are kind of made up, but the spectrum itself is real. Same idea here—the labels can vary, but the underlying experience isn’t just invented.
- Comment on hi🫶 4 weeks ago:
Out of curiosity, if it’s all completely made up, how would you explain the fact that people across different cultures and time periods consistently report similar patterns in sexual orientation? That suggests there’s something deeper going on than just social invention.
That said, I completely agree with you on being authentic — I just think the “completely made up” part might be a stretch
- Comment on Rough time to be a woman. ☕ 4 weeks ago:
Yep, I think it’s a mixed bag and isn’t always just about male sexual selfishness. I think it’s common to conflate a perceived ‘failure’ on the man’s part with selfishness, when in reality it’s often the opposite. I expect many man feel pressure to get their partners ‘over the line’ and that in itself presents insecurities and psychological barriers that are often ridiculed but are a manifestation of that pressure. As always communication is always key, and improving that is something that men and women can only benefit from.
- Comment on Rough time to be a woman. ☕ 4 weeks ago:
I was surprised to learn that there are many women who have never had an orgasm. Why must we shame the woman? It feels like a very male-centric outlook to view orgasms as essential to sex. Of course, one would assume that one could take matters into their own hands, so to speak, but I’ve been told it’s not as simple as that.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 2 months ago:
I only use the platform to manage my dodgy IPTV subscription. Presumably they’ll be ditching Discord as well once they realise that they need to provide ID.

I’ve never heard of this person and the first minute of their vid didn’t really grab me. So yeah, I’m basically out of touch than a wealthy peado who died several years ago.

Had one on my sisters.wedding day. Made my face hurt. Probably not as nice as the one pictured.
- Comment on Check mate, atheists. 4 months ago:
Well said. There’s also something about a certain type of atheist who confidently voices their refusal to believe in anything unless empirical evidence, that I personally find mildly irritating.
I appreciate critical thinking and I’m quite skeptical myself, but it’s that confident certainty that nothing that hasn’t been proven scientifically is real that slightly irks me.
It’s a mindset that seems to conveniently omit the possibility of future scientific discoveries and ‘unknown science’, and comes off in some as a somewhat smug, arrogant outlook that, somewhat ironically, can often be found in the blindly religious.

My favourite feature is the insanely counter-intuitive indenting and bullet points.

- Comment on Disgruntled redditor deletes his 1.6 million karma account 5 months ago:
I was on Reddit for years. Had multiple throwaway accounts (which was the norm) and about half a mil karma on my main one. It meant nothing, I just sort of accumulated it over 10 years. Then I got banned from a sub, got a site wide ban after using my throwaways (ban evasion) and that was it. I tried to get back in using a VPN and Brave, which worked for a bit, but with zero karma I couldn’t even post in the subs I once liked. Pretty soon my account was banned for the same reason and that was it. Bye bye Reddit.
- Comment on How do you even satisfy Bill fucking Clinton? 5 months ago:
In a trashy book from the 50s called Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger includes a short section about the thenNancy Davis during her early acting days at MGM.
He claims she had a reputation for being very friendly with studio executives, and that she was “popular” among them. Anger frames it as part of the Hollywood casting-couch culture of the era.
Probably BS, but who knows.

Thoughts and prayers, brother. That is heartbreaking.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 6 months ago:
I just find these reductive generalisations a bit silly and divisive. As if anyone born between arbitrary years x and y is part of some sort of united collective that can reasonably critique everyone born between years v and w.
- Comment on Best stay away from that guy 6 months ago:
I think ‘that guy’ is phenomenally successful due to the weird and wildly superficial dating world tech has created.
I’m quite fortunate as I met my wife before the apps had taken over. Other than being reasonably tall and having a pulse, I am far from being that handsome dude.
But I did ok as I was brought up around women and have always used humour as a crutch since I was a kid, which I found women were responsive to when I grew up.
I doubt I’d have survive the online dating world with my beer belly and average face.
- Comment on Ibuprofen 7 months ago:
I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn’t fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
