  • Do it, fuck up Twitter, Amazon, meta, and everyone else that shared a stage with trump.

    The only language they know is $, if trump is bad for their money, they’ll go against trump.

    These are people obsessed with wealth over every thing else, it’s not hard to manipulate them, but when rational adults regain power, we need to tax the ever loving shit out of them because no matter what happens, they’ll always choose “more money”.



  • I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair

    It is for everyone…

    Everyone else got it, why not me?

    Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.

    So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.

    To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.











  • College women’s rugby is an insanely brutal sport.

    The skill disparity is just waaaaay to high. Like, I saw a guy’s scrum half get his arm snapped like a twig by a prop who put maybe 30% into the tackle. But that was more a fluke than anything.

    But there were women who could hold their own with the guys in full speed scrimmages who would just go out there and destroy everyone. In a women’s game one single player can be the strongest, fastest, most agile, and have the most endurance of anyone on the field. For Men’s it’s rare for someone to get two of those.

    It’s like doing a pickup basketball game full of 50 year old dudes at the YMCA, but also Shaq is there. The only thing that matters is which team Shaq is on.

    Just 80 minutes of highlight reel every game. It’s why I always legitimately like watching the women’s game more. I wanna see 5 stuff arms in a row then a 50 meter break that ends intentionally veering into the fullback for a sixth stiffarm.





  • The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown, but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.

    So fucking stupid…

    Kid grew up on a quiet farm in the countryside, then she moved to London and probably 100+ student plus lectures.

    It’s not that noise cancelling headphones prevented her from developing normally, she developed in an environment like what we evolved to handle.

    Then she got thrown into a cacophony of sound that is one of the planets largest/busiest cities…

    And they act like she is the problem and not noise pollution?

    Noise pollution is fucking a lot of us up, and people who grew up with it are used to it, but that doesn’t stop the negative consequences of it. Someone that never had to deal with it is obviously going to have what looks like a sudden onset of a condition, but the person is fine.

    The environment is the problem.
