I am a straight guy and I have used a woman’s restroom.

But only in the context that it was a single restroom and the men’s was occupied. I just unilaterally executed my male privilege and declared that the woman’s restroom was unisex for the time period that I needed it.

There was nobody else in the room and if there had been first the door would have been locked or I would have been absolutely mortified.

The problem with freezing them at their price is that that essentially becomes an interest-free loan to the company that partakes in the system.

The interest needs to be somewhat punitive.

I would say three points above the federal rate compounded daily, and they have to pay off all of the accumulated interest before they can start buying their stocks back.

And, if Congress had not given themselves interest-free loans out of social security to bolster the economy then we wouldn’t be having any worry about whether or not we can afford to pay social security.

The real danger is that the money for social security that would have been growing and earning interest as it was properly invested was not properly invested.

They have phrased it as they didn’t expect people to live so long, but it’s not that. It’s because they don’t know where they’re going to get the money to repay social security, when the reason why there’s any danger of social security running out is that the money was mismanaged.

Your thinking is too limited.

There’s a lot of reasons why someone might choose to be a republican that has nothing to do with being a soulless monster.

A lot of them are stupid or have intestinal parasites that prevent them from thinking correctly.

And the world is not the United States, so if you have the power to wipe out an entire group of people, you should just destroy all of the assholes on the planet. Anyone who’s like more than 40% asshole just poof they’re gone.

I think I’d be in the clear cuz I believe I’m only in like the 30% range myself, but if I had to take one for the team that’s okay. (Totally not saying that just to put myself below the 40% line)

Being as that we have the tools now, any person who wants to run for a public office in a position of leadership, I.e mayor, vice mayor, sheriff, judge, Congress person or president, should have to undergo a psychological evaluation and if they show any of the three dark traits they should be rendered invalid and unable to participate in politics.

We don’t need any narcissistic psychopaths running the government, but narcissistic psychopaths are the ones that are the most likely to get elected because they’re the best at manipulating people into voting for them in popularity contests.

I don’t know if this is a trope or not but I hate it when movies fail to live up to their potential.

The new Beetlejuice movie is like that.

(I’ll try for no spoilers)

There’s a couple of events that are shown as really big ordeals, huge events that you could base the entire movie around, and then the movie rug pulls your expectations and just kind of brushes those huge issues aside like it’s nothing.

And part of me gets it that that’s like a Beetlejuice thing, not complying with your expectations, but in this case I feel like the movie was made much worse for it and they should have really reconsidered doing the things they did.

It just made the entire movie feel like there were no actual risks, nothing bad can possibly happen, there’s nothing scary or dangerous in the world.

It’s like everybody in the movie was bored of living in that universe. It was ridiculous.

I watch movies for escapism and I don’t want to see the people that I’m escaping from my life watching escaping from their lives in the same process, having everything handed to them without having to work for it, with no real risks and no real adventure and no real humanity in their story.

And I’m honestly kind of surprised at how many movies lately have failed to give real stakes, real risks to the main characters, real goals to achieve, a real character to operate with, or has attended to elevate the genre in any way.

It’s all same same and it’s really sad.

I’m okay with fast zombies as long as they are short-lived.

Like they should tear their own bodies apart and consume their own internal resources to be fast zombies until the point where they physically shut down and cannot operate anymore.

I have seen that in 28 Weeks later?

That is a good point that I hadn’t considered.

The playbook as I understand it is that they offer a community improvement for free at first to get you hooked and then once everyone is entirely reliant upon it that’s when they do the rug pull.

So there is a good chance that Google search will improve for the next 6 to 18 months while they are doing this just know that this is a temporary reprieve from the enshittification solely to prime the engine for the enshittification to get massively worse.

Like I know that what you and your community goes through is just as bad as any other oppression in the world, but at the same time it is kind of funny that transphobes are so afraid of you because they might want to have sex with you.

It’s the craziest shit, and if it weren’t so dangerous and sad and fucked up it would be so empowering.

I don’t get this. I know the person on the left is the trans employee from Linus tech tips, and I saw in the comments who the person on the right is but I don’t get this meme at all

If a test of your faith is not rewarded (for punished for your failure) then it was all in your head.

I think you’re allowed one taste. It’s the second taste that consigns your soul to damnation

Thank you for clarifying that the gif is unrelated because typically if your landlord wants to give you unlimited head they can offer that but they can’t force you to take it.

I have a friend on the spectrum and he knows almost every single '80s B and C grade horror flick ever released on VHS by heart.

He has turned me on to some really interesting and freaky movies.

Anything is level if your level is small enough

On my 18th birthday I was homeless and living in a truck.

But it was okay cuz I was out of a terribly abusive situation and my mental health was improving.

And I went to my friend’s house only to find out that they had all been arrested for robbing a McDonald’s.

Truth is, I had known about the robbery after the fact, they had told me about it two days before my birthday.

I had cautioned my friends that they should not go out and spend the money they had stolen right away, if their activities change and it made them look suspicious, it increased their chances of getting caught.

This was a small time deal, they each got like $600.

They went out the very next day and blew it all.

They were arrested that night after the detective that McDonald’s had hired to follow them kept track of all of their purchases and showed up at their door with the police in tow.

It’s so pathetic it still makes me cringe.

So anyway I spent my birthday alone in my truck. It made me sad because you know that was the day I officially became an adult and all these years later I’m kind of still alone so I guess maybe it set a bad precedent that I could not overcome.

I came across this phrase organically by accidental haiku:

Water drops in the Ocean never mean to be- come a tsunami

I bought a massively oversized NASA t-shirt the last time I had to go to JCPenney’s and it’s so fucking comfortable that I’ve literally worn holes into it.

My ex-girlfriend complained that so many of the pictures that we had taken together had me in this shirt. It was just a comfy shirt and I still have it but it’s probably time for me to find a new one.
