  • It also helps nothing and no one to “both sides” this conversation every time it starts. Astrology and homeopathy doesn’t even begin to fucking compare with nazism. Also, why do you call out astrology but not christianity? One is a dumb little thing involving sky magic that is mostly harmless and the other is also a dumb thing involving sky magic but the followers of that dumb thing are actually very dangerous and harmful to a lot of people that have to grow up with them. Haven’t met too many female priests in my life either.

    Fascism relies on traditional gender roles and that has less appeal to women who would lose rights and power compared to men who would theoretically gain power. It’s less “there’s something wrong with the men” and more that fascism itself is designed to appeal to men.

    Oh, is it? So what you’re telling me is that fascism appeals to men more than women because men don’t give as much of a shit about other people’s rights? Fascinating. Totally means there’s nothing wrong with men that needs addressing or changing. Sure.

    Edit: in fact this whole fucking conversation is stupid considering that the stats are there at the top of the post for all to see. There is clearly a fucking problem. And the way to fix that problem is to actually address it instead of comparing it to astrology and calling it a day.




  • Even if they don’t have registries, I’m sure they could’ve done better than a four-year suspended prison sentence. I’m sure they could’ve also achieved not allowing him to work with children ever again. Unless they also don’t have things like IDs and telephones and email. I suppose if smoke signals are their only means of communication, then it’s understandable how someone caught with CSAM was allowed to keep working with children in “prestigious” hospitals that willingly hired him.

    IMO, the judge that sentenced this guy to a four-year suspended prison sentence needs to be investigated and publically disgraced too. Same with the hospitals that hired him.


  • The difference is that you’re not calling it “DEI”, highlighting the fact that you just use that as a substitute for the n word, considering that all the performers were black and there was no diversity there.

    I’m just going by what I’m reading online but to me it seems like a fair assumption that the people crying “DEI”, and who didn’t mind being in the same company as neo-nazis when it came to who they were supporting politically, are probably racist.








  • I hear you. I could go on about how pop culture is lame etc and not really answer your question but I think, the more the merrier. If I’m not interested in the Lakers, I can ignore it and scroll past it. Easy. It would be nice for people who want to discuss the Lakers to have a place to discuss the Lakers, though.

    Honestly this place is starting to piss me off a little bit sometimes. Because it’s like the users here actually want ‘All’ to just be politics all the time and for there to be no variety to anything. You can talk about missing features from Reddit and think of ideas to make this place a little better and you’ll get responses like “No. Why would anyone want more features? I know that I don’t have to personally use them if I don’t like them but I prefer pretending it’s 1998, so no one can have them. And why would we want more users? I like empty communities with no activity. And then complaining about empty communities with no activity.”

    So I dunno. It’s gonna be interesting to see if this place actually grows or if it just stagnates. I’m right there with you though. I’d be more than happy to see pop and sports and things I’m not really interested in because then there’s a bigger chance of things that I am actually interested in taking off here.

    Maybe you’re a bot, maybe not. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here.

    And my answer is no, absolutely not. You are in fact very pretty based on this one bad photo. And your face looks perfectly normal as far as proportions go.

    School fucking sucks. And I’m willing to take a wild guess that your low self esteem already makes interacting with people difficult for you right from the start, before they’ve even said anything. So I’m willing to bet that at least 50% of your troubles here are your own thoughts bringing you down.

    But as for the other 50%, you don’t need to please shitty, immature people. And don’t worry too much about the boys either. From stats I’ve seen, there’s a good chance they listen to people like Andrew Tate in their spare time. So you’re probably not missing much lol. If you’re 17, sounds like you’re pretty close to finishing up with the place where you’re forced to be around people that you don’t vibe with.

    Trust me, when school is over, that’s when you’ll get to meet your people, people that don’t make you feel like shit. And as far as relationships go, you’ll have a higher chance of meeting decent people that you actually want to be with. The only people that say school years are the best years of your life are the people who peaked there. So hang in there.






  • So what are you trying to get at here then? You read paragraphs of me clearly condemning racism but got stuck on the common fucking English phrase for describing depression because it contains the word “black”. Even if you’ve never heard the phrase before and you’ve never seen a thunder cloud in your life, I’m sure that you’re literate enough to have surmised from the rest of my post that it wasn’t a racist statement. But you decided to come along and accuse me anyway.

    What else do you actually want me to do? Kill myself? Not sure how else I could please you here.

    Having grown up in '90s South Africa, I’ve been trained to judge people on an individual basis as I encounter them and by whatever group they belong to because of where they happened to be born without choosing. And going by an individual basis here, you just seem like a fucking asshole to me.

    And I wish this app I use could tag users so that I can spot you in future and remember that you’re the person who decided to come along and pick on a phrase with the sole goal of making me feel even more like shit.
