Ha. Someone once told me, “talking is the first step to inaction.”

It takes too much time and resources. A lie runs halfway around the world before the truth laces up it’s shoes.

Manipulators and liars need to be stopped by a higher authority. I’m fine with that authority being civil liability, the criminal justice system obviously sucks at it. Let’s get serious and stop letting this stochastic terrorism go unpunished.

Lose your dad to Fox News conspiracies? Should be able to sue Fox News for child support. Lose your husband to a mass shooting caused by some deranged Trumper that thinks Paul Pelosi is coming to take our guns? Should be able to sue trump personally for wrongful death. It’s not like Fox and Trump don’t know what the consequences are.

Let juries be the arbiters.

This problem isn’t going to be solved without financial liability or violence.

How do you mean they misunderstood the point?

Do you mean like that instead of banning you just squelch them instance by instance, solve the problem that way?

That doesn’t really help disrupt the thing causing the problem. Really just ignoring it.

I don’t know enough about this to have a strong opinion, and again I’m not even sure if that’s what you meant. School me.

Scream in their face “you don’t even fucking know me!”

Some of my best and closest friends were former colleagues, men and women. Just happened naturally. Other coworkers were very close during the work, but then drifted apart immediately when the work ended for whatever reason.

But, don’t have a candy dish, don’t be too inviting, don’t be known as someone who listens to gossip. That’s an important boundary to set.

Misery loves company. If anyone reading this has a “friendship” with a coworker based solely on bitching about the job or other coworkers, it’s a liability not a friendship.

Is this that new camera hack where the led turns off? Jk I don’t smoke.

Everyone, and I think probably especially intellectual people, questions their sexuality (am I attracted to the opposite gender in some way?) and at least their gender expression (am I masculine / feminine enough?) to some extent. It’s no different for a lot of people I think than imposter syndrome and can be tied to a lack of self confidence.

Everyone is also capable of fantasizing about, basically, whatever, and enjoying it, without the fantasy or enjoyment having to mean anything about how they feel about themselves or how others will feel about them.

Also, sexual preference, as kinks and fetishes, develop and change in men at least until some surprising age, like, into your 50s. Like you could live your entire life identifying and living as a one thing and by fifty-five be identifying as something else. I think, and I’m not sure yet, be that’s just life. Most people who don’t live in a safe space bubble and don’t leave their home town or school aged friend group have to reinvent themselves multiple times in life.

Also also, sexual pleasure and gratification is a full body and mind experience and it’s possible that different partners stimulate and gratify different parts of that experience, even different encounters with the same partners. And none of that has to be carried around with you as if it changes anything about who you are or how you should be treated.

And lastly, it’s fine to treat this person and anyone else in a positive and fun way for both of you. It could be that this person expresses themselves femininely and so your instinct is to be a little different, whether that’s with more compassion and tenderness and even flirty, and I would say confusion is probably a very healthy and intelligent, internal reflex to something like this that is new to you.

And finally, anyone that says the Roman Empire collapsed because of all the fucking without making babies is a right cunt. If society collapses because of who any of us are fucking then… it was coming either way.

Edit to make sure someone catches that joke, which may be one of the best I’ve written.

I’m woke as fuck because I support the Constitution and civil rights. Fuck me, right?

I think antifa is best described as a strategy to cope with fascist creep.

They’re like stupid children with bad parents. But they are whole ass adults.

It’s so pathetic.

That sucks. I wouldn’t go.

Just reminded me to go post a pic.

Only for as long as it takes for them to reach Canada.

I guess this is when we find out if the second amendment has any nuts.

A sizable portion of straight people associate being transgender as something sick and weird and a sexual deviancy, so it’s easy to target them and to try to associate them with actual objectively bad things (ie pedophilia).

I find that disgusting and totally incorrect, but actually I would be fine if that’s what they thought and that’s where they stopped.

But they want to pass laws telling other people how they have to behave, and how they have to do things.

The most unamerican and unpatriotic, anti-freedom thing that I can possibly think of, is people passing laws to define something as intimate and personal as gender identity and family planning. Like can’t they just fuck off and let people be how they want?

It’s extremely weird. And these fucking bigots think because they won the election they’re not weird anymore, but most of the country did not vote. These people are still weird as fuck. If everyone voted they would get crushed and laughed out of town.

Yes, women can be victims of patriarchy brainwashing.

There are working people who voted for the capitalist party.

Same shit.

It’s a parade of one idiotic comment after another. Dude is a straight up moron.

1. Busted truck with rust spots and maga stickers.
2. Divorced.
3. Kids won’t talk to them.
4. Spent more on guns than on personal hygiene.
5. Thin skin, whines about literally anything.

Ftfy

Numbering didn’t work though. 1 4 5 6 and 9.

I did not read it that way.

Every molecule that makes up our entire existence came from the fusion of a hot star, and no matter what it looks like right now, it will once again be both the precursor and the product of many more stars.

In that regard we are all identical and inconsequential.
