“Fixing” social media is like “fixing” capitalism. Any manmade system can be changed, destroyed, or rebuilt. It’s not an impossible task but will require a fundamental shift in the way we see/talk to/value each other as people.

The one thing I know for sure is that social media won’t ever improve if we all accept the narrative that it can’t be improved.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Millennials damn near invented therapy with all their mental wellness shit—tf is this post?

The people who died didn’t deserve it tho. I see that the US, as a country, fucked around and found out. I think we need to be mindful of our rhetoric tho cuz a lot of people brutally died that day and very much did not deserve it.

You sound like an incel calling other men “sigma” — cringe shit dude, you don’t have to be chronically online.

Tell me this is a joke. Where’s the /s? Do people actually sincerely call other men “Chad” like that? Beyond cringe. Beyond.

But if this is some post about how conservative homophobes are just secretly repressed gay men, I’m gonna freak the fuck out.

99.999999999% of homophobic men aren’t secretly self-hating gay dudes, they just straight men who hate gays. Period. Simple as that.

When people try to act like all homophobia arises out of repressed closeted feelings, you’re literally saying it’s (closeted) gay men spreading bigotry against other gays, and while that can happen, it is always the exception and not the rule.

Stop trying to pin homophobia on closeted gays. You’re helping no one and ignoring the truth that homophobia is, by and large, a straight person issue. Real talk, heteros, get your damn house in order and leave the gays out of it.

Okay but Mean Girls was supposed to be ridiculous and unrealistic. They hired a 25-yr-old Rachel McAdams to play a high school junior for a reason lol

What’s crazy is that, by pure numbers, CA is basically tied with FL as having the second most republicans in the country—at around 6 million.* Only TX has them both beat. Conservatives really do shit on the 2nd/3rd largest enclave of republicans in the country 🤣

*Based on the 2024 US election turnout—not registered republicans

Fucking preach

Disagree. In my lived experience, the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.

Man, israeli jews really are out here destroying the goodwill they’ve accumulated for the past 80 years. Crazy watching jews take up literal nazi tactics. Religious people are fucking nuts.

Nothing about this is uplifting. Glad he was freed, but this is dark. Very, very fucking dark.

As a gay man, fuck this comment. Nothing about him reads gay. He says he’s straight. He has a wife. He has kids. He’s said so much anti-LGBTQ shit. He’s straight.

So fucking sick of people making homophobes out to be closet gays. Every time you say that a homophobe is secretly just a self-hating gay, you’re literally saying that gay people are the reason behind their own homophobia. If behind every homophobe is a self-hating gay man, then you’re saying that gay men are causing all the hate within their own community.

And guess what! It’s bullshit! 99.999999999% of homophobic men who identify as straight are straight. They’re not secretly self-hating gays—they’re just straight dudes who hate gays. And that’s who JD Vance is. He’s a run-of-the-mill homophobic straight man who fucks couches. Call it for what it is, goddammit.

ICE agents are traitors to the american people and need to be treated as such. They are modern day nazis. Never forget what they’ve done and are doing. We will get justice from these cowards.

100% with you. I think dubs get a bad rap. Just caught up on Demon Slayer and loved the english voice actors—especially for Zenitsu 💛

I fucking hate zoomer-ass comments like this. Like HAR HAR HAR nothing is serious, everything is just max lulz, everything is just vibes and good times HUR DURRRR!!!

Seriously, get fucked.

Man, reporting really is getting worse. Journalism 101: define complex words that your reader may not know. Throwing the word “hadal” around like that without a proper definition is just lazy journalism. I guess I’ve come to expect this from NBC.

Crappy writing aside—neat article!

Yeah but 22 year olds aren’t just stupid children. Very young adults, but still adults. Perspectives can always change, so with that mentality, never do anything cause you might change your mind later.

If vasectomies were 100% permanent, I might agree more. But 22 is not too young to make a decision like this.

At least Jerusalem is an important site for Israeli Jews. The area of Mount Rushmore had no cultural significance to Americans whatsoever—it was just cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
