So it’s hard for me not to go off, and while I may not like how I did it I make no apology for getting upset and going off even if I wish I had done it differently, because she will try as hard as she can to use her money and fame that she only has from HP to not only try and erase me and put me back in the hell hole that was my closet ( and honestly, especially because of my addiction which is 100% because I was in the closet and trying to get so high I would just forget I was transgender, if I stayed in the closet or were to go back in guaranteed I am dead within a year or two) she wants that fate for all trans people.

I think you should all stop trying to negate the reality of people who jk wants to deny, tbh.

it's really weird I found this piece of paper lying on the internet with some words on it and I'm not sure who wrote it

If you could come inside my head and understand what I feel when I read about a trans woman dying at the hands of a violent man, you’d find solidarity and kinship. I have a visceral sense of the terror in which those trans women will have spent their last seconds on earth, because I too have known moments of blind fear when I realised that the only thing keeping me alive was the shaky self-restraint of my attacker.

I believe the majority of trans-identified people not only pose zero threat to others, but are vulnerable for all the reasons I’ve outlined. Trans people need and deserve protection. Like women, they’re most likely to be killed by sexual partners. Trans women who work in the sex industry, particularly trans women of colour, are at particular risk. Like every other domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor I know, I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who’ve been abused by men.

Kids are more literate than ever, they read and write more than they ever have in the past, it’s just they are not doing it engaging with novels instead it’s texting and internet.

But if your going to argue separating art from the artist over a disengenious literacy issue over how the popularity of her work has led to her directly emboldening a movement that won’t be happy until people like me are either invisible or dead no amount of saying she should be deplatformed ( which your not really arguing for if your defending her books) or saying she is a terf and is bad changes the fact your not being an ally if you even consider yourself one.

 

Don't forget "disengenious" and that ridiculous run-on sentence at the end.  Very literate, indeed.

They really need to read more and get those literacy levels up!  Somebody get that poster a book to read, stat!  Make it something fun- maybe a Harry Potter novel?

Fun thread about the hardships Ree endures when ordering food

check my phone and I see two missed calls and a notification that my order may be cancelled. I immediately try to return the call but due to the random numbers Uber uses, I am unable to do so, so I just open my front door and he is sitting in his car. The guy comes out with the food and starts complaining that he has been waiting seven minutes… But he never rang the doorbell or knocked my door. I even checked my doorbell to se wig the bell was working and it is.

Now, before anyway talks about not answering the call it was because

1) I do not answer unknown calls
2) I keep my phone on silent out of habit

FinaleFireworker's meds have worn off -

Since when does delivery not mean deliver shit to my fucking door/ring my doorbell/knock? I delivered pizza for 5 fucking years and never fucking expected someone to check their phone to know I arrived with their food, I just went to their door. What an absurd take.

Ree progressives are worse than the fucking Tories -

I keep my ringer on when I order food, and I go down and grab it if they call me, but I also subtract a dollar or two from their tip. I always have it set to “leave it at my door”, and if you can’t walk the extra 15 steps then you must not need the money that bad.

I will absolutely rip a driver a new asshole if they start calling my phone when sitting at the sidewalk in their car. I didn't order a phone call. I ordered food to be delivered to the door. it irritates the fuck out of me when I'm standing right beside the door, always on time for the delivery and the driver is doing everything but the delivery part and I will actually open my door when they get 5 ft from my house.

This poor Ree is traumatised by the thought of a phone call from a delivery driver

This thread is convincing me to never order delivery. Much easier to just go pick the food up myself.

Then hang up if it’s a spam call? Jesus. That thread sure is something else. “They can’t walk the extra 15 fucking steps to my door!?” You can’t get your lazy ass out the door and then walk or drive to the place to pick up your own food!?

Read the entire article. It's quite sobering and scary. We are on the brink of American Collapse, if not passed through it already. America is already partially a failed state. We cannot pass laws to fix voting issues. Our infrastructure is aging, our water pipes full of lead, no healthcare for uninsured.

Sigh. At least I'm in California. I feel confident that we will fucking leave this shit union if things break extra bad. Which won't be good but at least I'll be on the "good" side.

I think America will fall in our lifetimes, the only question is if we see a full out civil war, or if state secession is met with "OK, bye" (which should be encouraged the next time Texas talks about leaving)

I’m pretty much convinced that it’s not a question of ‘if’ but of ‘when’.

I don't see a civil war. But I do see a fascist dictatorship. I think we'll get there without most Americans even realizing it.

I think America will become a fascist state without much fighting.

Don't assume that Canada or the rest of the world can't do anything or won't do anything. Economic sanctions against the US would do a lot.
History has proven that the world will unite against facism, and I fully believe this has been discussed between world leaders.

America is already authoritarian.

Just finished reading the article. What a depressing read. I have started to plan how I'm going to get my wife and I (and my mother and dad) out of this country within the next five years. I don't want to be in this country when/if Trump gains a second presidency and the GOP have control of Congress. One party wants power at any cost and the other is trying to be friendly at any cost.

freedom of religion, free exchange of ideas, elections where one party doesn't have permanent majorities status, there are still civil liberties, etc. america is a shithole but authoritarian it isn't.

Free exchange of ideas? Why do Leftists always end up in prisons or killed by the state? As far as civil liberties, these depend on the color of one's skin and the number in one's bank account.

Elections are already favoring minority rule.

Not holding anyone accountable for 1/6 will be a key milestone in the history books. That and a failure to do any kind of election reforms were probably the last chance to right the ship.

Seems basically a foregone conclusion barring some sudden change in direction.

what? Fuck that. You think Texas being told 'ok, bye' would be a good thing? The millions of people in that state who'd be fucked even more than they are? Not to mention the cascading impact of one state being let out? Stop.

Oh i hope they wouldn't be the first. Ideally they would be the first and the other southern states would fuck off with them.

And what about those of us in Texas? We're just left to fend for ourselves?

What about those of us in the rest of the country? Better we all live under right wing authoritarianism?

"I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There."

Collapse is just a series of ordinary days in between extraordinary bullshit, most of it happening to someone else. That's all it is.

This website is so incredibly fatalistic to the point of being out of touch. America has already collapsed for a lot of people. It doesn't become any more real once it reaches you

This is my plan as well. Enlisted the services of an emigration attorney a couple of months ago to begin the process (which is WAY more complex than I thought). I have been reading a ton on post-2024 and it seems like no one has an idea regarding how to avoid fascism except for “hope.” All the ideas involve the senate actually doing something which we know now they won’t do. Not going to have my two daughters grow up in the Republic of Gilead.

This is not a good article. It is hardly academic in its wild speculation and selective application of facts.

What don't you agree with it? The only speculative piece I found was America starting a war with Russia. I don't think the country survives to be honest and it's not a "fatalist" or doompost. Lot of people are frogs in a boiling water, even on this board.

The upcoming right wing dictatorship will be fought with “stern warnings” and extreme finger wagging. Because hey at the end of the day Democrats kept their decorum

the writing has been on the wall since 2018 or so

I fear that we will see American refugees fleeing to my country (the Netherlands) and getting political asylum against the fascist government there at some point. The question is how long it will take.

And like yeah, if America decide to start WW3 I suspect large parts of the world will unite against us, but I don't know that the rest of the world can defeat the US in a war.

LOL. Love that american exceptionalism. WW3 against the US is not going to happen on a battlefield. Nobody is that stupid. It will be done with economic sanctions and other tactics.

How's this for starts? Here's what Canada can do day one...
You can kiss the Alaskan pipeline goodbye. For like forever. Same with all the natural gas pipelines in the east. Google tells me there are 31 oil pipelines and 39 natural gas pipelines crossing the border. Say bye bye to them.

Real easy to pull the plug on the Niagara power grid too. There are 35 major electrical transmission interconnections between the US and Canada. Canada is a major electrical supplier to the New England states, New York, California, Upper Mid-West, and Pacific North West states.

All of this destruction can be done before breakfast, without firing a single shot or taking a single step on American soil. Instant energy crisis. Enjoy your rolling blackouts and trying to fight your WW3.

If America decided to start WW3, it would be the dumbest decision in history.

aren't most experts saying there wont be any civil war, but rather growing targeted extremist violence? basically what is already happening (like pipebombs and other attacks at Democrat offices etc), but just much worse as things escalate? bombings and assassinations, and more violent mobs. but a full on open civil war seems kind of impossible in todays society? how would that happen exactly, how could any force oppose the US Army? would the Army itself split and fight against each other?

i think its a damn miracle a prominent Democrat politician hasnt been murdered yet in broad daylight :/ you can just feel shit like that coming any moment now..

Bruh it is Balkanized county by county, neighborhood by neighborhood, not just states.

When you’ve got governance that does not actively make our lives better but instead tries to do the bare minimum for the majority, while simultaneously bending over backwards for the minority to accommodate their extraction and hoarding of our wealth & resources… then yeah, shit is a powder keg.

Civil liberties as in religion, LGBTQ rights have increased over the years, though the war is still ongoing. No shit minorities are fucked here but are you going to argue every nation with shitty minority rights is authoritarian?

I’m arguing that a country that leans towards minority political rule, is a massive police state including silencing dissenting voices through imprisonment and other violence, is actively engaging in voter suppression, where one party has a massive disinformation apparatus, among other things is authoritarian.

Oh, so for you, this country has always been authoritarian. Good to know.

Yes. I'm not sure what else I would call it.

It's a series of major events that set America back over a 20 year period. In the wake of each major event everyday life gets worse for the majority of the population, but then it recovers. But it never recovers to the level that it was before the major event. That's how America gradually collapses. By the end of the book the government institutions are there still but they are a shadow of their former selves and because it occurs over a 20 year period nobody really notices.

Since 9/11, has life gotten back to pre-9/11 levels?

Since the 2008 Collapse, has life gotten back to pre 2008 levels?

Since Trump, has life gotten back to pre-Trump levels?

Since covid do you ever think life will return tonpre-Covid levels?

For many people the answer is and will be no.


You can overlay similar events in other English speaking countries like the UK and Australia IMO. It's not just America that is gradually collapsing, it's all of Western civilization. The anglosphere is just leading the way.

His post is nothing but classic ‘blame the left for everything’ while spewing a bunch of known falsehoods about turnout that haven’t been true for at least half a decade. It’s obviously just bad faith crap from certain sections of the internet.

Go back to GAF

Kindly fuck off because you can't take a dose of reality. I'm as liberal as they come. Just because you don't like to face the reality of it, doesn't make it any less true.

No, I don’t think I will, since there’s very little reality in what you posted and it’s clear to anyone who knows anything who you are. Not wasting my time especially when you want to spew garbage about turnout that hasn’t been true for awhile (without acknowledging how turnout is only part of the story since voting is rigged significantly one way). You may fool some people around here since many on ERA are anti-left and love punching left at any opportunity, but you ain’t slick or subtle

The "next five years" gets you to January 2027. That would be two years into the next likely Trump presidency. If you seriously can't risk a GOP trifecta coming out of the 2024 election five years is way too long for your plan.

When is it ever right to stare at someone changing, when is it ever fine to look, unless of course you think you've 'got a right to'.

Ummm...when they just suddenly invade your space and start taking their clothes off?

I think we're forgetting (I suspect because of gender dynamics at play), that OP's girlfriend's weird-ass friend is the one being invasive here, going by OP's account of events.

So I'm telling you right now, if I were in OP's shoes in this situation, whether or not I was staring would not even be something I concerned myself with. Because you are weird and you're invading my space right now and disrobing. And if I'm staring at you it's going to be as though you just grew a second head...because what the hell.

(FAKE EDIT: now, all this extra shit OP's put on it at this point with the suspicions of flirting is nonsense and also something I wouldn't be thinking about. But yeah, homegirl, what is wrong with you?)

I mean have you ever had someone staring at you when try not to stare? It actually makes you stare at them too

That's some catch 22 logic you got there.

I give up. If I overthought this then every reaction I have had has been gone through with a fine toothed comb with tremendously shitty takes born fueled by people believing "I would have handled that situation perfectly, what the hell is wrong with you?" for whatever reason.

At least there are other imperfect people here admitting they would not handle it great either and that has helped a LOT

I dislike NFT but you guys act this the first time some celebrity or company has dick ridden a useless fad.

No, this is very different, this is a celebrity I liked personally doing something I find stupid. So what does that say about me?

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food, I can drive a taxi, I can and DO cut my own hair.

I wanted it so bd today but my kids said they didn't want it and I wasn't gonna go just for myself, but I regret it now for sure

Operation Red Mercury has kids?

Celebrities are some of the few people who can actually profit from NFTs, because their clout can be enough to give their NFTs an initial push.

I very very rarely leave a youtube comment for the purposes of talking to the person/people running the channel and never interact w/ people on twitch

That said, recently I forced myself to sign up for an account so I could ask a streamer something and they banned me even though I didn't do anything, no joke. I think they assumed I was a bot or something so I dont think it was malicious but that annoyed the fuck out of me LOL. Never going back to that creator again even though I don't hold nothing against them lol

Any examples of your own?

This is meant to be more about personal anecdotes than calling out specific people, so keep it anonymous so the thread isn't toxic/locked

Bots don't ask questions tho.

Fake Edit: Nevermind, I forget milfs near me are never near me

Later in that thread Nepenthe cites a Uyghur genocide denying, Stalinist youtuber. Could be juicy.

freedom of religion, free exchange of ideas, elections where one party doesn't have permanent majorities status, there are still civil liberties, etc. america is a shithole but authoritarian it isn't.

Free exchange of ideas? Why do Leftists always end up in prisons or killed by the state? As far as civil liberties, these depend on the color of one's skin and the number in one's bank account.

Elections are already favoring minority rule.

Because sometimes they get into power

People seem to miss the fact that with these kinds of pyramid schemes there is money to be made if you have the influence to sell this crap.

In their rush to condemn NFTs they end up thinking that celebrities and/or companies are somehow stupid for jumping on the trend but it's really a zero risk marketing campaign, it costs almost nothing to produce these things and they are almost guaranteed to sell to the rubes who want to gamble, or rubes with FOMO. The only downside is their unpopularity but those negative associations only last for so long.

Would you be willing to explain a little bit more? Him, Hasan, and Xanderhal are the 3 politics-focused channels I pay attention to, but if he's got issues, I would like to know.

The tl;dr of it it is Vaush is a leftist white supremacist. He's made it clear in various "conversations" with Black leftists that he doesn't believe in Black and Indigenous autonomy divorced from colonialist structures (and indeed, he doesn't really want to get rid of these; he has gone on plenty of times about how he likes a "big, strong America"), because to do so threatens his privileges as a white dude. He is completely ignorant about Black and Indigenous Nationalism, usually equating it to Nazism because of course he would, and has been called out many times, most notably by Hakim and also BadMouse, on not really comprehending basic Marxist theory as well.

The only fucking thing Vaush is good at is shutting down Nazis through rhetoric because he used to hang in anti-SJW/cringe circles, and by some random chance or whatever he just happened to reason himself over to some vague notion of leftism, a little like Destiny did (who I will remind you we banned from this forum for being a racist piece of shit). Also, his style of video is popular and he knows that Nazi deradicalization is a cushy-ass grift. But if you actually press him on what he would actually do to, you know, undo the profound inequalities built into American society through centuries of white domination, it would be anything that doesn't actually displace whiteness as the dominant class in society and how that identity ties into colonialism and genocide, because it makes him very uncomfortable and frightened. Ultimately he is extremely willing to throw Black Leftists under the bus and discard them the moment they refuse to bend the knee in forced solidarity with his stupid ass. I imagine Xanderhal is within the same vain through reaction videos I've seen, but I admittedly haven't watched his videos directly because goddamn am I tired of weak-ass white leftists who will turn on minorities the moment things get a little inconvenient or offensive to them.

If you want a more thorough breakdown on why I fucking hate Vaush, watch this video. Also sub to him (and unsub from Vaush):

I'm asking in earnest:  What exactly is she asking for?  Separatism?  Like a separate piece of land in America dedicated to a black ethnostate?  Like what the actual alt-right want?   Or a unified nation except it includes a separate set of laws and standards that only apply to black people?  ...like what the actual alt-right want?     What is she talking about "divorced from colonialist structures"?

I bought Cozy Grove on Switch for my wife and that shit runs like garbage. A fucking phone game is averaging ~20fps with some sequences dropping into the teens. I love my Switch but it's time for an update lol

given that all western societies were established and nourished by white people, any memetic concept for "how things have always been done (and it's a decent enough system)" are colonialist structures

mortgages were not invented for the benefit of black people, nor insurance, nor property taxes, nor policing, so it's colonialist turtles all the way down

no this is not a joke

Eh, Neppy strikes me as the ADOS / FBA type. I think she'd have some (definitely not racist) term to describe the lady in that video to make it clear that she might well be African, but that doesn't make her black.

Basically, Nepenthe wants to keep playing the same games we are now, but swap the teams around.
