  • I’m not even going to begin describing all the ways that what you just said is fucked up.

    I’ll just point out that online deepfake technology is FAR more accessible to the average 13 year old to use on their peers than “porno mags” were in our day.

    You want to compare taking your 13 year old classmates photo off of Facebook, running it through an AI and in five seconds creating photo-realistic adult content featuring them, and compare that to getting your dad’s skin-mag from under his mattress when he’s not home, cutting your classmates face out of a yearbook, taping it on, then sneaking THAT into the computer lab at school so that you can photocopy it and pass it around in home room, and then putting the skin-mag BACK under the mattress before your dad finds out.

    Is that right…is THAT what you’re trying to say? Are those the two things that you’re trying say are equivalent?



  • Yes. They are proud.

    I hate to tell you, but they’re not covering their face out of a sense of shame; they’re covering them in order to prevent retaliation from people who disagree with them. They have no shame about what they’re doing.

    If they are recognised and shunned, or refused service because of their actions, there’s no shame or self-reflection. it’s still the fault of the “damn libs”. THAT’S why they cover their faces; because they know they’re actions are unpopular and will get them retaliated against.

    But knowing their actions are unpopular doesn’t mean for a second that they’re ashamed of those actions. On the contrary, the fuckers are proud to be doing Trumps dirty work.


  • The other side is already scouring obscure precedent to use to disqualify and deport him. So while this is great news, I won’t hold my breath for any sort of actual election victory past the primary.

    Going through the motions of elections right now feels very much pointless since only someone incredibly naive would think that the right has any intention of allowing elections to matter any more.

    The sooner Americans realise that it’s Let Them Eat Cake time the sooner they can move on with guillotine o’clock.

    Peaceful protests, boycotts and sternly worded letters rely on the people you’re protesting having a sense of shame. Which the right (and most of the left) no longer have.

    Past 30, age is less about biology and more sociology.

    I’m a 49 year old male. But I’m divorced, no kids. Still living a bachelor life quite happily while most guys close to my age are married with the kids and coaching soccer on weekends in a minivan. As a result, my friend group almost exclusively skews younger because those are the people who are in the same stage of life as I am (regardless of biological age).

    The same works for relationships. Past a certain point it doesn’t matter how old you are, as long as your sociological age is compatible. (Ie. Your way of life)


    Edited to Add: The rule we always learned in highschool when we were stupid kids with nothing better to do is “half your age plus 7”

    51 divided by 2 = 25.5 + 7 = 32.5.

    So by highschool rules, you’re just a little bit outside the lines, but close enough that if you’re both attractive most people will ignore it.

    For me it’s the fur, especially in the dog’s right side. It’s too muddy and undefined.

    Even the most single-toned animal will have more detail in it’s fur regardless of lighting.

    This is my dog waiting for me to get my ass out of bed to get her breakfast.

    I don’t need to zoom in to see individual hairs.
