Wait…so choosing not having any form of sex with someone is now rape?
Damn we really are living in crazyland.
Clowns
Head Like a Hole
It took much less to turn people into wireheads than we thought it would.
Being Conned
That’s right. Moron economists insist nothing has changed.
But compulsory items have gotten vastly more expensive while optional ones have decreased or barely increased. And those same idiot econs tell us that it’s irrelevant. Because that’s their role, to lie for money so the status quo keeps quo-ing.
But of course it is relevant.
Reality Diverges
Meanwhile, in reality, like 75% of romance women actually read is some demon shifter bull rape crap.
Good story, but it’s a lie. Everyone knows it.
Blight Us With Detritus
I’m getting really tired of seeing people not knowing how to prompt an AI correctly and then complaining when they get absolute crap out.
As always, it’s a skill issue. GIGO applies everywhere.
Modern W is an L
Pull your pants down in the gym and act like an utter moron.
“Why is that guy looking at me. PERVERT! CREEP!”
Modern women in a single tweet.
Three Fight
VB Knives is correct. One reason I still really despise Amanda Marcotte is her claiming (as she was herself a bully then) that nerdy types were not “really” bullied during the 1980s and 1990s and that it was all made up. Meanwhile, anyone nerdy or at all different was beat on hard enough often to require hospitalization back in those days. This was not infrequent, either. It was incredibly common then.
In fact, my cousin was bullied so badly he chose to commit suicide. According to her none of that occurred. Fucking evil idiot.
There were days between 5th and 9th grade where I was in three different fights a day. Sometimes I was incredibly exhausted when I got home just from fighting. And of course bloodied. I still carry those scars as evidence.
Falling Further
That’s my conclusion too. “Progressives” are stuck in the past with AI and seem completely determined to stay there. Meanwhile, AI models (LLM+reasoning) already work really well and are improving all the time. For instance, I can do things with Claude it couldn’t come close to doing six months ago. They are also getting cheaper.
So progressives will fall further behind and look more clownish all the time. Which is fine with me.
Have You
It is kind of amazing how delusional the idiot left is here. I love Armand’s response to that lunacy. The Bluesky screecher types (even if on Twitter) will never stop screeching.
De Facto Is
Heh.
It always made me laugh when “feminists” would criticize some character design where a woman in a video game had breasts that actually moved a little when she did something athletic. Like, have you seen a woman in the real world do anything? Come the fuck on you fucking clowns.
These are the same vile women who don’t want you to see women competing on TV unless they are in burqas. The left really is moving to de facto Islam. So fucking oddball.
Sharia and Sharia Alike
For sure. “Equality” looks a lot like some weird leftist version of sharia. Combine women having no brakes on their intrasexual competition with PMC liberal women’s extreme neuroticism, you get stuff like this. This is minor, to be fair, and I don’t really care. But there is much worse occurring of which this is is just a sign.
38 24
What’s everyone’s thoughts on a 38 year old man dating a 24 year old woman?
You’re both full-ass adults. Go for it, and who gives a damn what anyone else thinks.
We need to not treat grown women like children and men as default rapists/groomers. Having a connection and compatibility with someone is far, far more important than what the new gen Church Ladies think. You both might miss out on something wonderful because of some irrelevant clown? Come on.
That this dude gives so much of a fuck what anyone else thinks demonstrates that in reality he’s probably more immature than she is.
Mental Rot
There were no lockdowns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
A billion (seemingly) clown-ass progressive dipshits told me so.
Meanwhile, I knew parents whose kids were utterly disconsolate because they missed all their important school events for two entire years. The last time I talked to one of these folks, she told me her daughter was still seething about this nearly half a decade later.
Phonic
Idiot clown-ass phone addicts cry so hard when graphs like this are posted. Buy Amy (as she has a brain) knows what’s up. Yes, yes, it was not just phones. But it was the phones a whole fuckin’ lot.
Double Stand
Look, I’m not the biggest Elon fan but this is absolutely fucking moronic.
This doofish “analysis” lumps together three very different things. Tesla’s carbon credits aren’t tax dollars and have nothing to do with taxes. They’re paid by other automakers, including in China and the EU, that miss emissions targets. Most of the rest is SpaceX contracts, which pay for actual launches, crew flights and satellite service, very often cheaper than the alternatives. That’s no more “milking” than Boeing or Lockheed getting paid for what they build (also highly subsidized by these standards!). By any count, the total is dwarfed by the auto bailout, and fossil fuels get roughly that much in federal support every damn year. And his fortune is mostly stock in his companies, not government checks. The only fair critique is that public money was crucial to SpaceX and Tesla surviving early on, which is hypocritical when contrasted with Musk’s attacks on government spending.
And you know what, I am absolutely fine with public money going towards advancing the interests of the nation and improving tech; that makes everyone’s life better. We should have industrial policy and it should do things like this (and far, far more). Subsidies aren’t inherently bad1. They are how we get more of what we want and need.
I do agree that no one should be allowed to be as rich as Elon, but that’s not what this is talking about.
I just do not understand why otherwise-smart people wish to beclown themselves this way. It is undignified.
