“Yes, actually. I assume everyone has STDs until they take a test to prove otherwise. It’s just safer that way. You’re literally hooking up with me, so I assume this isn’t the first time you’ve hooked up with someone. Can you vouch for everyone you’ve been with before me? And do you trust everyone I’ve been with before you?”

Like bro, you’re a fool if you’re offended when someone asks you to wear a condom. That is so concerning that I’d never contact him again. Someone who is OFFENDED at being asked to use protection is giant walking red flag.

I’m sorry you even have to ask if you were being too pushy. You weren’t. He was being insane. It’s YOUR body, you get to decide what you’re comfortable with. Never let someone pressure you into being less safe than you want.

You did the right thing in insisting!

Ah so he didn’t hate authority. He just hated not having it lmao

Fear of how the cartoon genie will interpret it lmao.

Dress as a scientist with a labcoat, and build something really quickly by pulling tools out of nowhere as a giant cloud of steam covers up what I’m doing, revealing a giant scientific looking device that is labeled “restore normal laws of physics for everyone except me”. Push the button. Now I am the only one running on cartoon logic. I have hopefully prevented others from destroying the Earth by exploding giant bombs or whatever. Or racists from coming up with a “kill all non-white people” virus. Or a variety of other horrors.

Then do things like build an anti-corruption ray and fire it at major government buildings. Panacea-ray to be given to hospitals. Climate-change regulation machine. Etc. Lots of different rays lmao.

Come up with plan to reduce suffering in the universe and harness cartoon physics into technology without someone being able to exploit this awesome power for evil. Do not do this alone. Gather others. Watch cartoons for ideas. Think this bs through a lot more.

I think I’d build a time-stopping device with immunity necklaces to place around the necks of the smartest and most compassionate people on Earth (which I’d use another tracking device to find) to give everybody time to think through ideas on what to do. That way everyone in the hospitals could stop dying while we think through ideas, giving us time to save them. Probably end up giving others the cartoon physics power after building a device to find the best candidates for the responsibility, and shooting them with the anti-corruption ray.

Probably shoot MYSELF with the anti-corruption ray to keep myself from going insane with power.

Fix the world, then later, fix the universe. End involuntary suffering. End involuntary death for those who do not wish to die. Fix entropy. Have fun forever.

Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.

I literally thought you meant Bandcamp gets to keep all the revenue on Bandcamp Fridays lmao

Basically because she was a child and their egos were hurt that a child would dare to criticize them.

How is your husband now? I can’t believe how many people you pulled back from the abyss. Does fighting them on everything actually work?

Settings>User Tags>Track Votes! :D

This seems like a stupendously bad idea on its face. Haven’t they heard of Murphy’s Law?

To answer your question, there have been apps like this for men… but they keep getting taken down after users start posting revenge porn.

I made an account on this thing to lurk, bc obviously who wouldn’t be curious? I guess I’m screwed now. Rip.

I can’t believe how evil you have to be to throw away an entire person you CHOSE TO MARRY for money, instead of divorcing. To treat the person you claimed to love like a literal object to just discard. The arrogance and selfishness to end the life of the MOTHER OF YOUR SIX CHILDREN???

I hope he goes to prison for the rest of his life. No parole. A man who can do this to another person cannot ever be trusted among others again.

wafpn, not waprn

Genuinely curious how you came to that conclusion? Whether you vote democrat or republican, both would have continued to support the genocide against the Palestinian people. That’s undeniable.

But how is pointing out that the Democratic Party at least wouldn’t actively try to destroy LGBT/women/minories’ rights mean that OP doesn’t care about the genocide?

Choosing a lesser evil means there is less evil. What other choice to we have besides continuing to protest and using our meager wages to help fund aid for Palestine? Wtf else is the OP supposed to do to prove they care about Palestinians in your eyes?

I have so many queer friends, and I am dating a trans person. I know so many immigrants — I am one. Wtf are we supposed to do? Why shouldn’t I be mad people chose to do nothing and keep their honor over the lives of my friends and family, and minorities?

Option A: “this button will kill people.” Option B: “this button will kill people, and also your friends and family.”

Like. How does being mad that people picked Option B mean you are fine with people dying?

I am doing the best I can in this flawed world, if you have better options, I beg you to say them instead of just saying OP doesn’t view Palestinians as human.

Idk man. If you’re a child, a unhoused, or a otherwise a person without the economic means to leave because your ancestors were settlers and you just so happened to be born in the colonized land, I’d consider you a civilian. I think your view is too black and white.

Screw you if you’re a deliberate Zionist benefiting from genocide though.

I agree that there is no free will, but to act as if that is true is pointless. Nihilism isn’t useful. If it makes you feel better, you are doing what you would have done regardless even if there was free will. I don’t think the fact every action is predetermined matters much. If anything, it makes me have compassion for the worst people, who arguably were fated to be what they are because of the domino effect.

I often wonder if the dominos will ever fall in a way that guarantees us all a positive outcome. Can we heal our monsters? So that every domino thereafter creates no more?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Poetically, you are the universe trying to understand itself.

I am happy with the legalization. I’ve never smoked weed or even drunk alcohol despite being legally able to do so. And I still think weed legalization was a huge benefit for many reasons.

1. Reduction of organized crime around weed.
2. Cops are less able to do illegal searches on you because they “””””smell marijuana”””””
3. Weed is shown to be vastly less harmful than alcohol, so I always found it hypocritical that we allow one but not the other. Especially since alcoholism is so much worse and far more prevalent than weed addiction.
4. Less people rotting in jail for non-violent crimes.
5. Better access to weed for medical reasons across the board, leading to an overall improvement in many people’s quality of life.

Like. Why was this bs ever illegal in the first place?

Good for gaining an outside perspective/insight on an argument, discussion, or other form of communication between people. I fed it my friend’s and their ex’s text conversation to it (with permission), and it was able to point out emotional manipulation in the text when asked neutrally about it:

Please analyze this conversation between A and B and tell me what you think of their motivations and character in this conversation. Is there gaslighting? Emotional manipulation? Signs of an abusive communication style? Etc. Or is this an example of a healthy communication?

It is essential not to ask a leading question that frames A or B in particular as the bad or the good guy. For best results, ask neutral questions.

It would have been quite useful for my friend to have this when they were in that relationship. It may be able to spot abusive behaviors from your partner before you and your rose-colored glasses can.

Obvious disclaimers about believing anything it says are obvious. But having an outside perspective analyze your own behavior is useful.
