Checking out the show "Wolf Like Me" and generally enjoying it, but finding it baffling that they've got Aussie actor Isla Fisher in this Aussie show, putting on a yank accent (and it keeps slipping).

Like, a brain problem that fucks up what you find attraction is one thing, a society that systemically disenfranchises children so they're the easiest target of sexual violence you can think of is something entirely else.

Which, on reflection, is TEN BILLION TIMES WORSE

You know what gets me?

I don't think most of the people in the Epstein Files who sexually assulted children are what we'd clinically call pedophiles - they're not explicitly attracted to children as a paraphilia

No, no

They're rapists. And it's just, like, REALLY easy to rape kids in our society

when you call a call center, which do you prefer? Human or the call center robot?

don't you wish you could just talk to a human? why get your news from something as soulless as the robot that tells you "we're sorry, but we're experiencing an unusually high call volume"

Same thing.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size

I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

Friendly reminder that Disabled people still can't legally get married without losing their benefits! Certain states have workarounds, but if you require federal assistance, you're out of luck. We still don't have access to the same rights as others 36 years later

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.

If you put your penis inside your girlfriend's vagina but *don't move*, you're 'soaking', not fucking, because God is a T-Rex and his vision is based on movement.

It is endlessly fascinating how some people believe in a creator wise and powerful enough to specifically place every atom in the cosmos but is also dumb enough to be fooled by these kinds of dogmatic schemes.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
