It kinda wasn’t based because as far as I’m aware the only ones doing that were slavers coming into Kansas from Missouri to do a bit of murder. Border Ruffians et al.

15·6 months agoMy bisexuality is so latent it’s a secret even to myself.
I do not understand the reference.
It’s certainly better than gerrymandering and literacy tests. I just find it almost impressive.
The Danish government once produced a commercial to encourage voting participation that had two separate explicit sex scenes and a decapitation. The commercial lasted one and a half minute.
3·6 months agoNot to be the centrist on this one, but I think its possible to acknowledge that he was talking candidly about prior attitudes of his while also acknowledging that he didn’t merely discuss having misplaced anger about a sexual assault, but mentioned walking the streets actively looking to do a hate crime. Like we can talk about personal growth or momentary anger and whatever, but he went out with the explicit desire to do a lynching and not even of the person who had done the crime.
5·6 months agoMy great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it’s still pretty bad.
6·6 months agoWhat’s a good TV show? I have some time this weekend and I havent watched anything released this year except true detective.
I’m sympathetic to your need to eat. However you make a video a year and your patreon is at four times what my partner makes.
8·7 months agoPercy Jackson is just an inferior version of “Erik Menneskesøn”. No that doesn’t make sense, but it’s the truth.
31·7 months agoI know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

I think we should believe people when they speak of their situation. I think it’s infantalizing to sex workers to tell them that they’re victims inherently and they just don’t know better when they talk of their own experiences. Sex work is exploitative in the way that all work is exploitative, and they are therefore in a technical sense engaging in sex under duress, but just as the best way to approach a worker to talk about their exploitation and unionization efforts is not to immediately compare them to galley slaves and make a 1:1 comparison between chattel slavery and your shitty job, it is not actually helpful to discussing the actual problems inherent in sex work to frame it this way unless we are actually discussing those who have been trafficked or who are in a particularly exploitative situation, and in that case the immediate thing to do is treat this as a distinct criminal case rather than as a discussion of the dignity of sex work. I realize that my perspective as a cishet white man is inherently limited, but the only people I know who have engaged in prostitution (I don’t know any former sex workers who did not engage in prostitution, and therefore cannot discuss the experiences of cam girls, porn actors, phone sex operators, strippers or any other kind of sex workers. Also these women were all white and uncoerced by anything except economic circumstance into taking the job. Which also limits their experience of course, but it is still superior to mine) have done so as a part time job they have either found pretty fulfilling or at least no worse than any other student job. I myself would feel gross “buying” the consent of someone, due to the fact that I don’t want there to be an open question of whether I am engaging in sexual exploitation of any kind when I engage in sex, and I find the question of whether you can truly consent to sex under economic duress a valid question. But I trust women when they speak of their experiences.
Edit: I am now observing that we are at the moment 3 He/Hims disagreeing with someone on their argument about misogyny. Which is one of those “Bad looks”.
A friend of mine is the only fan of a particular musician (No, really. He’s 99% of his listens on Spotify, almost all views on youtube and the only guy to buy merch). Despite this the musician absolutely refused to perform in the part of the country my friend is from despite being offered.
Anyway the musician released a new song and according to my friend it’s a huge disappointment. Which means this musician has disappointed 100% of his fans.

It was made to resemble a crocodile but the architect had never seen a crocodile. Let’s be honest about our history.
He fails the “didn’t also commit a sex crime” criteria pretty fucking hard

10·7 months agoHonestly I have so many of these stories all of them remembered by everyone, but from here on they get really fucking dark. That school sucked.
