At that point shit has hit the fan so hard, it’s no longer protesting and rioting, it’s civil war.

My very conservative in-laws tossed their ring cameras after I informed them of Ring using their cameras for data harvesting and law enforcement.

If you choose to believe nobody besides people like us care, that’s on you.

I got in trouble at church once as a kid because I asked why the person on stage talking to God is okay and everyone around us is cheering it on, but that year I had seen several people involuntarily committed who also claimed to talk to God and why is everyone so sure one is talking to God and the others aren’t.

Apparently they don’t like questions.

You know, when I left reddit a few years ago, I thought I was done reading more shittymorph-style undertakerpasta.

I’m not sure how I feel.

That only matters if it goes to court that high.

I am in no way religious, but every retail job I’ve had that pushes credit cards I break out the Bible verses to inform management I can’t push a credit card on any American, because there’s a verse about not charging your own people interest, and since every credit card does that, It goes against my “religious beliefs”. No manager has ever pushed back against it.

I’ve never understood the stereotype that Americans idolize a bunch of old white guys from the 1700s.

Most people I know don’t give a single shit about them, and the ones that do are very vocal about their dislike of them.

It’s pretty widely accepted that they were all garbage human beings by today’s standards.

If you mean Republicans idolizing them but only in specific circumstances that support bigoted worldviews, then sure.

Please explain the racism part.

No really, if it’s racist, I don’t want to further racism, and would like to know how it’s racist.

I meant the shrinkage from hrt lol but from personal experience the feeling of hrt shrinkage has been about what it felt like on cold days, minus y’know the cold feeling.

That said, I think every testicular possessor knows that feeling when you pull out a pair of undies on a winter morning and the cold fabric pushes against them and you flinch in response. It’s not quite pain, but all your torso muscles contracting in reflex might be painful.

Cold shrinkage, in my opinion, isn’t painful.

Don’t worry about being offensive, I genuinely can’t think of how you could have been offensive with that comment.

There are many factors that determine behavior, but this seems like it’s more specific to certain age/socioeconomic ranges and probably more regional.

Just a preface to say: I’ve met plenty, grew up with some, and see a couple every day walking around with their hand in their pants, clearly just caressing their junk.

People are weird

Lmao let’s not pretend urine doesn’t go anywhere but from urethra to toilet. The only people who would read this and think “no, my balls are definitely clean after work and using the bathroom x times today” are either incapable of critical thinking, or 6 and haven’t figured out how liquids work yet.

Anyone with a penis knows shaking it doesn’t keep things clean, and that last little drop of pee likes to try and hang around. And that’s assuming you aren’t a grower who might actually be able to pee on their balls without meaning to.

My dude, if you want to go around with a bunch of guys holding your balls for physical or emotional support, interacting with people who just moments before their hand met yours was also holding themselves, you go for it.

Until then, maybe adjust yourself in the bathroom and wash your hands afterward.

If it shrinking hurt, I and many other women like me would be in trouble lmao

“Okay I know ICE has been executing people publicly and it’s been on video, but that doesn’t mean immigration control in the US is getting more extreme.”

“okay I know Russian military assets are building up along the Ukranian border and they’re getting tons of aircraft ready and moving troops and armor across the country, but that doesn’t inherently mean they’re going to start something.”

“okay I know that bridge is actively in the process of crumbling and a chunk the size of a bus just crushed my car, but that doesn’t inherently mean it’s not safe to drive on”

Lmao I am hoping maybe in a year or so of hrt I’ll feel pretty, but today that’s not happening, but thanks!

If I try coffee, will it be good? If so, I’ll give it another go.

And the hrt is already doing amazing things, so that part is covered!

This is a nice post. I like this post. Have a good day!

nothing will change

Wow, you can see the future???

I guess I should go tell all the leftists I’ve converted over the years from American republicanism they’re all still republican according to some rando on the internet, since I didn’t actually change any mindsets.

Have fun with your defeatist attitude and thought-terminating statements, I guess.

Makes it harder for conservatives to dismiss you as somehow hating America if you have American flags all over.

If waving a flag makes a conservative rethink that talking point, what else will they begin to question?

Here’s the thing…

I will pet your cat on my own terms, it needs to learn to respect my boundaries.

I do like cats, I just don’t like when cats get up close to me and decide I need to see their butt holes, rub their bodies all over my arms and legs, and try to sit on me.

If a cat walks by and wants to accept some pets, I’m happy to pet them.

As always, context matters.

I do believe the comment was specifically in reference to “I can’t fathom being ashamed of your partner for a JOB” bit. Which, yeah. I agree with. Working for ICE is a shameful job, and people are getting divorces over it.

“I like pancakes”

“so you hate waffles???”

Motherfucker, that’s a whole different statement

I very much disagree. Every game should be pirated, as often and as much as possible. Nobody gets special treatment because they don’t capitalism as hard as others do.

I had no intention of pirating this game, but it doesn’t deserve special treatment.
