  • I saw a jumping spider while I was brushing my teeth, and I jumped back and she kinda cautiously prepared to run, so I said "Oh no I’m sorry lil spider I didn’t mean to scare you! You keep doing your thing, buddy! And she relaxed and then moved under the sink so I wouldn’t accidentally squish her while I brushed

    I thought nothing of it until I saw her on my way the next day, and I said “Hi!” And waved, and she waved back lol

    She waved back every time I saw her so I am pretty sure I made a friend/familiar






  • How do I vote trump out in a state that WILL go to him? Does me vote matter in that situation? Should I just lie down and take being banned from the public sphere? You act like violence isn’t already being committed by the right and ignored by ineffectual liberals like you who think that being polite is important when lives are at stake.

    These people deserve justice for the harm they’ve caused, and the justice system will not bring it to those in such powerful positions. I merely am positing that justice will only be wrought by our own hands. The fact that is only possible through their deaths isn’t my fault, nor does it concern me in the slightest if these mindless ghouls get hurt. If you make change impossible, you make your death inevitable.

    And if my vote did matter, Biden has done nothing to improve my life and the lives of people like me but to allow us to serve in the imperialist death machine that is the military. That is disgusting. Everything I wanted from him, abortion and the border have been dismantled in the same way I expected Trump to, and actually resulted in MORE migrant children being caged. Neoliberalism will kill both me and this planet before I reach 50, and you’re acting like some stupid fucking voting will prevent people with guns from doing what you’re shaming leftists for advocating. It should worry you that Biden has so thoroughly failed so many people that they prefer a violent and tumultuous revolution to your dystopian hellscape future you call “progress”.




  • Tbh with how yall are denying the gender pay gap and acting like you carry the world I’m kinda rethinking my support of men in any way. Like bro women get drafted too, and they’re called trans women. The issues you’re talking about don’t even only affect men, so it really just ends up being ineffectual whining.

    When I presented male and worked at McDs, I had the highest wages of anybody but the manager. After I transitioned, they wouldn’t hire me. That’s an infinitely large pay gap.


  • So you’re able to recognize that women CAN do dangerous work that pays well, but unable to recognize that sex work being the most done dangerous job for women isn’t a problem? Do you not realize that most sex workers make far less money than similarly dangerous jobs? You might see top dollar escorts on the internet but the vast majority are women who are one paycheck away from homelessness. You’re also not considering the availability of these jobs to women. I work in tech, and I no longer get job offers after transitioning. That isn’t a mistake. Women do not fit cultures constant sexual harassment and racism, which is what men expect from them. Women are seen as less capable and less intelligent. Inb4 you argue I should have to do something dangerous and unrelated to the education I payed for.

    Also, your gender bioessentialism is extraordinarily outdated, and reeks of alpha male podcasts. You’re probably the type of guy to feel emasculated when a woman is stronger than you.


  • Will you be mad if I use both? I like using my hand for cleaning so I can really feel the surface while I do it

    I hate sponges but the daddy is nice cuz I just put it in the dish when Im done and it doesn’t seem to pick up a smell, also way more durable and allows you to scrub harder than a lot of brushes I’ve used

    I promise I’m not saying this to be daddy’s escort lol

    The FBI demonstrated during the San Bernardino shooting investigation that Apple must purposefully put backdoors in their devices, as the FBI was able to independently crack the phone, which isn’t possible without a backdoor or a security flaw so poor that a third-world hacker could access it with some level of effort or knowledge.

    Do not trust Apple with your privacy, even less so than Google. At least Google will allow you to see everything they’ve collected on you and prevent random bad actors from accessing your data, which is something we can’t be sure of with apple. This isn’t about which is the more moral company, it’s about which is more dangerous to the consumer. Complete lack of control over your computing environment will only make sense in cases where you’re expected to have a complete lack of knowledge of computers and someone else does the thinking and manages your device.
