There was a thing he said back in the early 2000s, and it was leaked around the 2016 election. He was talking about women, and said something to the effect of “When you’re rich, and famous, they let you grab em by their pussy”.

People at the time were angry that his views were that, but, honestly, that’s the life he’s lived. That’s the life he knows as reality. WE see it as disgusting, because he’s saying that women can be treated as sex objects, and that he’s ok with that. He see’s it as just the world we live in, because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects. Those are the women that approach him, so that’s the experience he has with women. Women who only want him for his money.

And now we see it even applies to the courts. Maybe we should still be mad at him for having those views, but also understand why he has those views, and start holding society accountable. Maybe we should be angry at parents who don’t teach their daughters to have more self respect than to find some rich guy to bang for money.

Because at the end of the day, all trump is saying is “I get treated differently, because I’m rich.”

And as angering as that is to hear…he’s not wrong. He’s just an asshole.

I’ll just play Sims 1.

Oh I’m ABSOLUTELY angry by the rain clouds! But only one specific historical rain cloud. November 2nd, 2016. Those rain clouds fucking still make me sad! Screw you, Chicago! Bringing your damn rainy weather clouds!

This isn’t unpopular…this is just facts. Youtube celebrities are just celebrities with a much lower ceiling of celebrity.

They come in, they’re popular, they get views, and then they’re gone with nobody remembering who they are. I assume my niece, who is 13, knows who Tom Hanks is. I’m unclear if she’s ever seen his movies, but I would feel confident that she knows who he is. When you think about it, Tom Hanks hasn’t had any big movies the past 10 years. But the movies he is known for are generally classics.

Now compare that with the annoying orange, or “HEEEY IT’S FREEEDDDDDD”. I assume she’d look at me with a tilted head if I asked her about them. Technically she was alive for them, but she was probably still in diapers. And they’ve left no lasting impression on pop culture.

But all this drama on social media? Yeah…it’s the same thing. Just the same as two popular in their school 6th graders having drama. Sure, they’re popular in their school, but do you think anyone outside that school cares what Josh and Edward are beefing about?

Same concept, even smaller ceiling for celebrity.

The fight will never be over. Thats the problem. It’s not meant to ever end. It’s only meant to give us the illusion of choice so we can put power in someones hands.

Thats my issue with politics. Every issue is bait, and everybody plays with the issues.

Meanwhile, the outcomes affect real people.

And not just THIS issue. This is every issue. It’s all just a series of “how can I frame this to benefit me…”

And that’s all politics has ever been. Even back in the slavery days. People praise Lincoln for ending slavery. People like to remember him as being snti-slavery. He wasn’t. He was trying to work both sides, and it happened to benefit him to end slavery.

Just the same today with domens health/abortions, the economy, education, and any other big issue you can think of. If it benefits a politician to take a side, they will. The right thing to do would be to allow Ukraine to use our best weapons, and strike deep within russia. But that doesn’t benefit America to end the war. Instead, it benefits America to drain russia for generations of all military, vehicles, equipment, and ability to recover. It benefits America to send a message to China to not fuck around.

What benefits America and what is the right thing to do are rarely the same.

I REALLY hope Taylor Swift finds some legal way to sue him for threatening to forcibly impregnate her against her will.

Yes.

Bring back Netscape!

Even if it wasn’t, I can’t imagine need a THOUSAND bottles of lube…

And just like in Starfox64, Slippy is now saying “WHOA!!! HELP ME!!!”

But everyone just sees the cry as annoying, and ignores it.

DO A BARREL ROLL!!! (sorry, I had to!)

How dry is his dick??? God damn!

A danger of being decentralized is losing all of your momentum.

Uh-oh. Guys. I think he’s going to steal someones baby instead of making one himself…

If you live near a Starbucks, you can buy a cheap router, name its network “Starbucks Public Wifi”, make it public with no password, but also not connect it to anything.

People will connect, and get really really mad and Starbucks will be just as confused as the customers.

No no no. You’re supposed to dice the onions. Then make a paste out of it, and then deep fry the paste. Thats how burger king does it. Everybody loves burger king onion rings!

…except my mom. She says they don’t taste like onions. I mean they don’t, but thats why they taste good.

I see you haven’t met me. I will walk to the refridgerator, grab a bottle of lemonaide, grab a single sock, and grab a hot wheels car. Then I’ll go back to my seat with these items, and ask nobody at all “Wait…why the hell did I grab these things?”

I don’t do things because I want to, or need to, or even because it makes any logical sense.

I just do things. I have no idea what I’m doing half the time.

Hey, are you going to eat that ghost?

This is what I call the linux bubble. People who use linux and are used to alternate solutions, which may offer better performance than the norm. Then they surround themselves with other like minded people. So much so that they begin to forget that they are using alternatives rather than the norm. Despite what benefits they gain from alternatives, some people can’t grasp that they are, in fact, alternatives.

Twitter has 368 million monthly users. I find it to be a cesspool of hate, racism, and right wing agenda.

So you would think mastodon or bluesky would have equal or better numbers.

Bluesky has 9.7 million monthly users, which includes a huge recent boost because of brazil ceasing twitters ability to operate. I think that alone was 2 million users.

And mastodon has 975,000 monthly users.

So yes, despite it’s flaws, twitter is still the default in microblogging. By a LOT. But I’m sure the feeling around here is “who still uses twitter???”.

Everybody. Same way everybody uses google. Same way everybody uses instagram. And it’s not even close to being close.

Don’t forget your glue on your pizza! Can’t have a pizza without glue…

Is that the one that costs money? You can’t have a true incognito search if that’s the case.
