this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin

Absolutely the case. It's a mass media phenomenon, just a different mass media from what everyone else likes (which angers them to no end). The titanic chintz of the megachurch is replicated in books, movies, tv, MLMs, camps, etc. The Bible is more a source of authority than a piece of the program.

I'm a light novel translator with over a hundred novels under my belt, and a decent number of manga. If you're an anime fan at all you've probably seen something I've worked on, and should really read the source instead, they're always better.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

I feel fucking great being on T so I know that’s not it. It’s possible that it’s just the same problem I’m having where there barely are any and it’s lonely? Idk but send any dudes you know my way, I’m struggling a good bit with the lonely part

I need to meet some more cool trans guys. Idk if I am a trans guy but a) I’d like to look more like it and b) there absolutely must be some trans guys who are happy about it, I feel like I mostly see people being mad/depressed about it and I would like to know if that’s just normal or what

If you strike me down, I shall become more dead than you can possibly imagine

got invited to the goblin group chat but none of them speak common so I'm just fire reacting random shit

reminder the two off switches in google admin settings that say they can be used to turn off gemini actually don't do what we want them to. only way to turn it off it is to directly contact support for them to expose a secret third toggle that really turns it off. (also: it cannot help you do it 🤖)

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

We just built a NEW tech tool that *any current or former tenant* in the entire country can use for free — it will generate a legal letter for you that reports to collections agencies, credit bureaus and regulatory agencies. Go to reportmylandlord.org to fight back.

I think the biggest difference between The Internet Then and The Internet Now is how Being Mad Online used to be the one thing you could never admit to, under pain of death, and now, Being Mad Online is a whole career path with a skill tree and an ever-expanding variety of debuffs.

Live right now!

As a dude who used to be in charge of a huge group of people that liked to dunk on me and blame me for fucking everything, let me just say that you cannot troll your constituency. They will beat you, every time. You might as well throw grains of sand at the ocean. This is why we have private chats.

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog. Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

Whatever you think about Coates (I am a fan), he conducts himself with rigor and discipline. He asks hard questions of himself and of the world. Klein was right about something once and just spouts nonsense into the nearest mic.

Something that makes me deeply irritated is that Coates and the very unserious Klein are considered as 'equals' to have a 'debate'. I couldn't get through a minute of their chat without shutting it off.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Great time to be a fentanyl dealer because all the guys who are supposed to investigate and prosecute you are going after doordash drivers and moms instead

Getting a lot of "those numbers are shockingly high" responses. No, they aren't! They're terrible! They're historically low this early in a presidential term. Stop actively looking for ways to persuade yourselves that Trump is invincible.

The answer to "What do you do when 30% of the country believes things that are beyond the pale?" is "you win."

THE MEME IS REAL

someone on here the other day said it feels like we’re watching a baseball game where one team decides every inning to not take their turn at bat

he looks like tumblr daddy dom severus snape. he looks like a greyhound found a magic wig that granted it the power of speech and joined the CIA. he looks like modern day AU kylo ren with a wasting disease

Got my performance review.

Far too many USians do no know that immigration issues are *civil* matters, not criminal; undocumented immigrants have committed *misdemeanors*, and CBP/ICE/DHS often brutalize and kill them for what, in other contexts, would basically result in a fine. Think about why you're okay with that.

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

People on here will see Trump ranting about deploying the military and go "that's the ballgame" like these people didn't lose a staring contest to Jimmy fucking Kimmel days ago

One of the deals we make for a *somewhat* civilized society is that we all try to tamp down our worst lizard-brain, oppositional defiance disorder instincts. But our fascist government has broken that bargain so hard that it’s time for everyone else to summon their sleeping FUCK YOU MAKE ME powers!
