Pretty sure calling women “females” is given the side eye in every English dialect.

Not just men, I’m a lesbian and I’ve experienced this with women too. Some people are really sensitive to constructive criticism especially during intimacy.

I agree with you, but it doesn’t matter. Most people are intellectually lazy. If you’re of average intelligence, half the population is dumber than you. Nearly half of America struggles to read at a sixth grade level… how are they supposed to use reason and logic against emotional manipulation when they’re barely literate? All by design of course. Keep the population dumb and desperate and they’ll accept whoever promises to save them. It’s not that people are inherently dumb, perhaps some are, but knowledge is a skill that can be worked at even if one isn’t born with a Ferrari for a brain.

Btw, you have heat, but we have devastating floods and landslides. Nowhere is safe from climate change, or Ted Cruz for that matter.

As for Ukraine and Israel, I support some assistance to Ukraine, and none to Israel. Fuck Israel. But Ukraine is also sketchy - arguably this wouldn’t of happened if we didn’t go regime changing. Victoria neuland (an Obama diplomat) did some shady shit there in the early-mid 2010s that involved the maiden protests which were a color revolution. They kicked out a pro Russian leader and installed a pro nato one. It’s shady at best. And the Ukrainian neo Nazis are a thing despite liberals trying to pretend they don’t exist (to be fair, there’s questionable groups on the Russian side as well).

All in all I wish we would stop meddling in other countries sovereign affairs and stop being the worlds policeman while we have homeless starving people here.

AI is making bullshit happen faster and it has an air of “trustworthiness” to it despite the fact that it’s bullshitting it’s answers like the smart kid in class who doesn’t bother to do homework.

Yellow journalism has been around since the Spanish American war but it’s never been this strong and flooding the information market with garbage that seems legit. It’s so efficient.

I disagree with ‘filtering’ content before it’s seen, unless there’s a way to filter out bots and ai junk. Otherwise it’s just a silencing of speech and depending on who controls the filter controls the speech. Imagine Elon musk or RFK Jr controlling what gets seen… arguably musk already does with shitter.

Idk I’m still blocking ads no problem.

I don’t have premium I just have an ad blocker

As my straight white female 30s friend (were in vermont so it’s inconsequential) said: “I can’t afford another four years of this. I did better under the other guy although I hate him.” When I asked her about reproductive rights since she’s a straight woman of childbearing age she said “we’re protected in vermont. If that changes I’ll change.” (We have a state constitutional right to abortion here)

This woman doesn’t hate queers, she doesn’t hate minorities, the only thing she hates is inflation making her work harder for less and less.

And then there’s the wars. Biden/Harris royally fucked up. the billions we send to Ukraine and Israel are deeply unpopular with average people who see rising homelessness and increased natural disasters and shitty government response to it (we’ve been hit hard in vermont with massive flash floods and landslides from rain bombs, it barely makes the national news). The American people are hurting and our government is pissing away money on foreign forever wars. Even with all the insane pro Israel propaganda to the point that our free speech rights are threatened over it, people still don’t support it.

Ah that’s my fault then as I almost never watch videos I absorb information better by reading.

Btw this isn’t critical of you, it’s just something to unfortunately be aware of in 2024 :(

Off topic but I believe we’re heading into an information apocalypse where we won’t be able to get factual trustworthy info anymore. I’ve been buying up books and I plan on downloading the entirety of Wikipedia but I might be late on that with ai going wild.

A story in three parts: get an adblocker, problem solved

As a single (gay) woman over 30 who’s tired of having a uterus I’m moving to japan lmfao

Don’t downplay inflation. That’s how Harris lost in the first place.

I just want you to note that at the bottom of the link you sent me it essentially says it’s written with chat gpt.

It’s not trustworthy, though I agree with it.

If the democrat party genuinely gave a shit they would of held a primary and nominated a qualified and popular candidate. They didn’t. They don’t care!

Prepare to lose again 2028 with this attitude.

I did my part. I voted third party because BOTH PARTIES SUPPORT A FASCIST REGIME COMMITTING GENOCIDE WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS WHILE OUR OWN PEOPLE GO HOMELESS

Cry about it libs! I bet going further right and further ignoring your base will win in 2028! Might as well run Liz Cheney while you’re at it!

This is a feature not a bug, similar to the “birthright” trips Jewish teens abroad get for free. “Birthright” is a propaganda trip that tries to get teenagers to make Israeli contacts and get them to want to “make Aaliyah” and move to Israel and make more babies for the IDF.

Can you believe the democrats spent this much money and still lost as badly as they did?! It blows the mind!

Because they exist to protect their corporate benefactors and popular policies don’t allow for that

Thankfully trump won both instead of winning the electoral and losing the popular. If it was remotely close or god forbid a repeat of the 2000 election we would be in a hot shooting civil war right now with states threatening secession. So as much as I hate the guy im grateful it wasn’t close as it buys us more peace and more time to organize against his worst impulses.

The democrats lost the senate and likely the house because they didn’t have a candidate worth voting for for president. I think they would of had much closer margins if they were able to turn voters out but they couldn’t because their unelected anointed nominee was trash.

This is garbage and also voting for the party that refused to hold democratic elections for the presidential nominee is a great way to protect democracy!
