I hereby grant you the title of “Gaytekeeper”

Oh look another account a few hours old spamming a bunch of comics, usually with controversial inaccuracies or divisiveness.

There’s been a huge influx of these accounts lately. Add this one to the pile.

You can find critics of its use that are almost as old as its use. Oddly, for some reason critics of its use don’t seem to show up… Until it started being used.

Poets and authors have been artistically butchering, changing, and shaping language for as long as language has existed. This is neither an argument for nor against any particular change. Just look at the nonsense that James Joyce did.

I have a non-binary partner and I respect their pronouns, but personally if I cared enough to change my pronouns I would be more comfortable with “it” to avoid any confusion when discussing a mixture of singular and plural nouns. Heck, if I was going to make my own language from scratch singular vs plural pronouns would be much more commonly used while gendered pronouns would be reserved for specific scenarios where gender is relevant.

Subjective opinions are not part of the validation process.

I have to admit I actually agree with this. It’s the one thing that can turn non-voters into voters.

A lot of Americans don’t believe any of the Epstein stuff. They chalk it up to conspiracy or celebrity gossip. There’s still alt of states where the unrestricted age of consent is 16, and where the age of consent can go as low as 14 depending on circumstances.

People are dying all the time. There’s always another cop killing someone. These people don’t believe it will happen to them. It doesn’t happen in my neighborhood. It doesn’t happen to people like me. The propaganda tells them the victim deserved it.

They don’t care about Venezuela or Greenland. A lot of Americans probably couldn’t identify those countries on a map anyways.

They care about their bills. Their struggle to survive. Trump beat Harris by focusing on the price of eggs. That’s the key to defeating Trump. I don’t LIKE it. I wish my neighbors were better educated, more motivated, and made better decisions. But that’s the reality of America today.

Ah yes,the US military. Famous for being a beacon of morality a shining light for all of us to follow. What could go wrong?

I would rather see adults replace child actors than AI.

Fuck AI, and especially fuck the militarization of AI. That’s why.

Midsommar sure was terrible.

I know people who had this happen last Christmas too. Mugs that were supposed to be made out of (or at least look like) quartz geodes.

They keyword you are looking to search is “food desert”. Have fun.

Exactly this.

My father was (is?) bipolar. He was fine when he was on his meds, but decided to stop taking them and became a monster. Lost his job, wife, eventually my sisters and I went no contact for our own safety.

This is an autism community, not an ADHD community. I’m autistic, not ADHD. But i am aware that I need to put energy into communicating with people I want or need relationships with. Everyone is different, and every relationship needs compromise to be successful. To simply say “I have ADHD so you have to deal with it or get out of my life” well… Bye then.

And Google, Amazon, Apple.

Steam peaks at ~40-45 million concurrent users so far. The Switch sold over 150 million units. Of course, there’s no way to know what the peak concurrent switch users were, or the total count of unique steam users from 2017-2025, but I still think these numbers are good indicators that Steam is NOT the gigantic monopoly that the vocal minority of haters think they are.

In c/linuxmemes?

I grew up with a dog. The toilet seat was always kept down to keep him away from drinking it, because we had toilet cleaning pucks in the tank that would have potentially poisoned him. Nothing to do with gender at all.

Also the mythbusters episode on toilet water splashing out onto bathroom surfaces scarred me as a child. We have a soft-close lid and I wait a few seconds for it to get to a low angle before I even flush.

Sure, I might own the hardware

Not for long. The goal seems to be to make RAM, flash memory, and GPU’s so expensive that most consumers will need to purchase low-powered client devices and subscribe to cloud computing business models. It’s a handful of companies who are cornering the markets, controlling the supply, and seeking rents.

Maybe I’m odd, but I related heavily to this meme without thinking of porn mods. I’ve played hundreds, probably thousands of hours in Skyrim across various platforms, almost all without mods. Even the creation club nonsense in the anniversary addition I find annoying and half-baked- I wish there was a way to revert back to plain old Special Edition.

To me the feeling of loading up Skyrim for 15 minutes at a time several times a day means… I’m not doing well. It means that I don’t have the mental capacity to seek out or learn a new game. That I’m probably looking for something comfortable and familiar to make me feel better. And while Skyrim is that, sometimes I load up a save and see that I’m about to start a dungeon and the prospect just seems overwhelming. Or I’m over encumbered and need to spend a bunch of downtime crafting, trading, and organizing inventory.

It’s the kind of behavior that, over an extended period, could be a sign of depression.

Souls-like game (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33)

I know this is an irrelevant detail, but… Are we really calling a turn-based RPG “souls like” now? Was AI involved in the writing of this article or something?

I don’t want to defend Mr. Beast. I’ve never watched any of his content. But the criticisms of him seem to be things like how distasteful performative charity is. And like, a few minor business disputes. And possibly being a bit too quick to dismiss someone on his team who allegedly groomed minors.

Jake Paul has been accused of sexual assault and is pretty well established as racist. Heck, he wore Hulk Hogan swag the night of this match. He’s pushed outright crypto scams on his followers.

Andrew Tate has more than a decade of plenty of accusations of sexual assault, including against minors, and human trafficking. He has paid out millions of dollars and still has outstanding criminal cases in multiple countries.

I don’t know any of these people personally, but just looking at publicly available information from a distance it seems unfair to Mr. Beast to put him in the same group as actual criminals, racists, and sex offenders. It’s okay to just mildly dislike people.

In other words, you’re just making all this shit up. Cool story.
