It’s kinda sad.

About the dating apps. Craig’s list took the connections section down because escorts were using it and they couldn’t fight the legal battle.

My wife and I met on OK cupid, and we feel like we got the last train out of dodge.

“It’s not doable”

On that we agree.

God I’m sorry.

It should be so simple. Not taking hormones doesn’t mean you aren’t trans.

If someone else is uncomfortable that should be their problem. It’s true for us and that includes you.

What public transport?

Gen z is left of millennials, at least in the US, but not as far left as millennials were at the same age.

Millennials are moving right, we are the largest voting gen and trump just won a trifecta.

Not as far right as boomers at the same age, but it happens to us too.

It’s changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.

The boomers are shit. Because they are old and the elderly are generally shit.

It’s not that they were born shit or taught to be shit, it’s that people with money, greedy, low empathy people, live longer on average.

So the empathetic people doing their thing die off over time and leave the conservative assholes alive and voting.

Also the boomers were exposed to leaded gasoline for the longest period of time.

Gen X wasn’t shit but they are turning to shit because they are getting older and wealthier. Millennials will be the same. There used to be a theory that millennials would break the trend and stay leftists but it was just delayed and as they buy houses and build wealth they are shifting right.

Every generation turns to shit because they get old and the poor die off and the remainder vote to hoard their wealth and fuck the younger generation.

This will keep going until something changes at the level of great. Depression or WW2. A pandemic 20x as bad as COVID might do it. Actual nuclear war. Complete economic breakdown, something that destroys the wealth of everyone and resets the board. Maybe birthrate collapse will do it.

Short of that we will keep having the same fights every decade.

If PTSD sets in, the teabagging will increase.

AI avatar of the victim spoke of forgiveness. Family that created it asked for the maximum sentence, more than the prosecutors, and the judge delivered the maximum, saying he could hear the genuine forgiveness in the AI voice.

This sounds like some black mirror doublespeak.

Article says his sister wrote the words, and she and her husband created the avatar.

If just my state left, and I could leave to another state, that would be pretty good. Two Republican senators gone, roughly 15 net house reps gone, and an influx of dem refugees like me into neighboring states.

Texas could legit try to make a go of it as an independent nation. It would be a disaster for my family though.

Says you.

You first.

They care about money.

Day long general strikes have changed policy. A week would bring the government to the table on anything short of dissolving the government.

The US government is terrified of general strikes, and has gone to extraordinary measures to ensure they don’t happen.

There is also that the vast majority of gender critical feminists are women, and the majority of assaults are committed by men.

I don’t worry about terfs assaulting me directly, while I suppose it’s possible, I worry they will weaponize law enforcement or some transphobic white knight against me.

40% of the country wants it to be worse in every way imaginable. They want more religion in the halls of power, more impressive law enforcement and mass incarceration, more dictatorial centralization of power, less education more environmental destruction more wealth concentration in fewer elites hands, less protections for workers, and their families, more poverty sickness and death.

They aren’t the same people either, sixty-70% want one or some of the things on that list.

If we declared a constitutional convention, I don’t think there would be any agreement whatsoever about what changes to make, and if there were, agreement, I expect they would be disasterous.

Biden made hay about selecting a Black Woman as vise President. That is declaring her heir apparent.

“The DNC” does not have the power to force Biden to step aside when he doesn’t want to.

They aren’t a military or a government. They are a club, and Biden was far and away the senior member.
