One thing that's coming up a lot on TikTok during the Canadian election is how many Gen Z women feel the need to cancel our their conservative boyfriends vote, and then TikToks pointing out that they don't need to be partnered with those people

I think there was a misguided sense of certain social gains being locked in that manifested in men being more willing to act certain ways because “it’s just an edgy prank” and women being more willing to tolerate certain kinds of bullshit and now society is catching up to the fact this isn’t true.

love reading a 12 year old girl in 1911 write a mech pilot tweet in her diary abt the experience of driving an automobile

This is also another reason why the default for fantasy movies should be animation. It's much easier to get a voice actor who can *voice* that sort of role convincingly than a live actor who can pull off that affect.

Every now and again someone ends up splattered against the wall here because they assume they are talking to a dilettante and not an expert, and it's beautiful

fuck fancy pre-schools, get your 3 year old forklift certified and they'll be able to conquer the world by the time they're 18

yeah a lot of commentary from the 2010s-2022 looks like the polical-cultural equivalent of ZIRP these days. like you can write about how problématique ‘girlboss feminism’ or whatever is only when people who straight up don’t believe women deserve jobs aren’t ascendant.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

Hell yeah I read theory

young men, playing video games all day will not make you happy. only getting married and having a family will make you truly and permanently content, as illustrated by the collective output of 20th century male novelists

I love seeing geeks in the gym. Reject the jock/nerd binary. Yes to people with green hair and pokemon tattoos lifting crazy weight

Congratulations people who "wanted politics out of games", you made gaming the most political it has ever been, well done

got em all now

I agree with this. In addition, they seem to be proudly evil and want to give AI actual decision making power without even hunting at a method of accountability.

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

Don't guess any Canadians reading this have a Well Meaning Boomer parent that it would make sense to forward this CBC article to www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Fuck your single-sex spaces and fuck your Supreme Court. If I see you calling the police on a trans person in a public restroom I will personally flush your phone down the bog whilst pretending it’s Wes Streeting’s head.”

🚨 Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student at Columbia, was abducted from his final citizenship interview by ICE. My Israeli friends who had family murdered by Hamas on 10-7 are vouching for Mohsen as *an ally in fighting antisemitism & peace activism.* That’s the opposite of supporting Hamas terror!

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

you were literally making the argument that there would be no difference between Trump and Harris and that no one should vote for her four months ago. what happened. did something happen

People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves
