  • I'm a cis bi guy in college, with mostly straight male friends

    People have straight up told me they assumed I must be some male-manipulator player who sleeps around a lot. Like they genuinely think people are bi to maximize the amount we get laid?

    I told a friend I've only been with one person because I'm only interested in relationships and haven't felt in the headspace for one, and he straight up thought I was kidding

    Also, I'm pretty masculine, so a lot of people assume I must be "mostly straight," with maybe a little attraction to femboys. And when I tell them I'm equally into women and gay men, they seem to think that means I probably won't wanna settle down with one person. (imagine if people assumed this for anyone attracted to different ethnicities or hair colors??)

  • Still can't wrap my head around some animals reproduce asexually. Like wtf do you mean they "clone themselves"

  • Half the length was literally just from Republicans clapping. Mfs gave him a 30 second standing ovation after every sentence

    And half the speech itself was just showman sensationalism, just constantly announcing a new martyr who was in the crowd. Like they literally had Erika Kirk crying and hugging a crime victim of an undocumented immigrant, then a child who almost died in a car crash from an undocumented truck driver

    Just a bunch of shock value anecdotes all while undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than US citizens

  • Government opinion =/= public opinion. Polls in Germany are more pro-Palestine than polls in the US

  • They're calling him an asset of both Russia and Hamas

    Literally calling German college kids' encampments a "violent occupation" and claiming he spread terrorist propaganda by simply reporting on them

  • memes @hexbear.net

    Title

  • Maybe Melania has past trauma or was groomed as a child (tho keep in mind, she didn't move to the US til her late-20s). So do countless male predators

    There's no reason to assume grown women as any less likely or complicit in child predation than grown men. That mentality's both infantilizing to women and dangerous to society, considering how many parents stress stranger-danger to their kids using exclusively male examples and framing. It's the very reason Epstein knew female partners-in-crime would be so effective

  • She was around 30 when they met. I think it's fairly likely she trafficked kids in exchange for better modeling and financial deals

    We already know Epstein's circle had modeling CEOs and supermodels like Naomi Campbell. Children are especially vulnerable to the halo effect, so it's not hard to imagine Epstein saw unusually pretty, classy, media-trained, younger adult women as the perfect demographic to influence/manipulate little girls

    Hell Epstein probably introduced Melania to Trump so she could help get kids from the Trump-owned Miss Teen USA (where underaged competitors clearly didn't trust Trump, considering he was known to watch them naked in their changing rooms)

  • Sure worked out for the Weimar Republic

  • Yes and you're actually legally better off in Hungary than Florida, because the EU forces Hungary to have minimal anti-discrimination protections and accept foreign gender changes in documents, while the US federal govt is completely aligned with Florida

  • The EU can't make binding resolutions to significantly change countries' domestic laws without unanimous approval. Italy, Hungary, or Bulgaria would just veto it

    The most the EU can do is laws requiring trans discrimination protections + gender identity recognition if obtained from a country where it's allowed, and they've already done both of those

    So at the very least, a trans Hungarian has the right to move to an EU country with easy trans self-identification laws: and after a few months of residency, they could obtain gender recognition that all EU countries would be forced to accept. (EU's open borders, so you can move between countries as easy as moving between US states)

    Likewise, a gay Hungarian couple could have a wedding in another EU country and Hungary would be forced to recognize that marriage

  • wonder why she didn't wear a mask :(

  • Headline is vague enough that you'd think she traumatized a bunch of kids teaching this in 4th grade social studies

    Meanwhile she's a high school special-ed teacher who made a post on her private social media that her students wouldn't have even seen

  • I'm a college student and was surrounded by constant 67 jokes up until a couple months ago. but at this point it's a dead meme

  • I feel like a lot of people's beliefs and core values twist/fall apart with age bc after 40, human brains gradually shrink/stiffen and become less empathetic/open-minded over the decades

    Chomsky's def beyond saving, but sometimes I wonder if someone like Angela Davis would become a proper communist again if she took shrooms to reactivate youthful neuroplasticity

  • She used to seem sorta based for her time, doesn't seem like she kept that energy for Palestine though.

  • Not even seeing the media report on Trump's newest/most damning reads in the files. All the headlines are some spineless shit like "Trump mentioned in new files," as if they're terrified of his administration suing or blackmailing them for reporting honestly

    These are the only headlines I've seen that even mention what was released, and it reads like they're trying to get Ted Lieu sued instead of themselves:

    Not even remotely up for debate that the new, public Epstein files point to Trump being a serial child predator and murderer

  • Probably accepted his loser ass on the spot but told him he'd need 3 whole days of training and his mania just couldn't wait any longer

  • Almost every damn day it's been around 15-20°F colder than averages for past Januaries here

    The cold itself isn't bothering me as much as knowing the cause of it is almost solely manmade climate change (disrupted polar vortex from Antarctic melting). I go outside and feel like my skin is witnessing the cold crying sting of a dying earth

  • Tbh I think it's good if she gets tf out of the senate so there's at least a chance someone vaguely progressive can take her seat

  • videos @hexbear.net

    Eric Adams does interview with a satirical pop culture YouTuber he clearly didn't vet. She insults him the whole time while he flirts with her and glazes Israel.
