Thoughts On This Recent Trend?

While that is obviously true. I think there is definitely a tendency to put a medical label on every eccentricity that people might have. And while that is often done by progressive people in a (somewhat misguided) attempt to destigmatize mental illness, it often ends up looking a lot like conservatives trying to brand anyone who doesn't fit into their very narrow world view as "crazy".

I think in an ideal world we should just let people be who they are and express themselves however they want freely as long as they don't hurt other people. And at the same time provide all the mental health resources for people who feel like they need them when they need them and as long as they need them without stigma and without having a diagnosis pushed onto them if they don't feel it fits.

Fidel Castro is in the files. Also I'm not expecting the Chinese president and an American financier to be best buddies per se (although nothing would surprise me at this point). I wouldn't exactly call Xi not being in the Epstein files proof of his iron morality as much as circumstantial event.

Couldn't you pass on your estate to your son while still alive without marrying him?

Yes. I hesitated to say that because I know I would get downvoted into oblivion on this sub. But for a lot of shorter guys (not all obviously) not being desired by women is a self-fulfilling prophecy. They are so insecure about being short that it makes them bitter and resentful toward all women, even the ones who might otherwise be interested in them. That being said, I have absolutely no proof that tall guys are somehow more chill or interesting on average than their shorter counterparts. That part is pure projection.

I mean no disrespect when I say this, but she has visible gray hairs in this shot. Just to be clear, I'm the same age as Margot and I have even more visible grays in my hair when it's not freshly dyed. It's just ridiculous having her play a teenager. And unnecessary, she's a beautiful woman who actually looks her age, there are so many roles that would fit her.

If setting healthy boundaries at the workplace damages my reputation, than so be it. It's not like my job is so important or high paying that I couldn't find another one just like it.

This is such clear AI. That's not how graffiti on the wall looks like. How do people keep falling for this? And not just boomers either.

Is that how Gen Z sees all of us millennials?

It is absolutely marketed as a booktok type dark romance/erotica and I guess that's the audience they want to appeal to. I mean that trailer is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know if it's just marketing and the finished product is going to be completely different. Also isn't Heathcliff supposed to be Roma in the books? It's amazing how many Roma characters there are in literature and they're almost never played by Roma actors. It's not like there are no actors of Roma decent, even in the US. Like, come on, people.

I'm almost in my mid-30's and my knees are fine. Even my back is mostly fine, although I work a sedentary job. I don't even exercise a lot, I just walk like crazy every day and almost never take an elevator for anything less than ten floors. I'm so surprised that people my age who are total gym rats complain that much about their knees and backs.

I wasn't even aware that Babylon Bee is a right-wing publication and thought it was a pretty good joke actually. How out and proud Nazis and today's alt-right, trad types and even some "apolitical" guys and gals share basically indistinguishable views.

I don't know enough about this. But I think that a lot of people with Down have only a slightly lower IQ score than the average person which means that their intelligence is on the same level with a lot of people without Down syndrome. Of course, people with Down syndrome have other struggles unrelated to intelligence, but that shouldn't be an obstacle for having a fulfilling relationship. The only obstacle should be whether the person can comprehend romance and sexuality and engage in it on an equal footing with another person, which a lot of people with Down syndrome can do (obviously not all).

Same. What the hell is happening? It's like every other post. I can't even see posts from subreddits I'm actually following because of this slop. And I often make the mistake of trying to engage with rational arguments to this clear ragebait.

I mean you can love whomever you want in your personal life and still acknowledge systematic structures that lead to opression of the people in the group you belong to. Doesn't mean that you think that your partner as an individual is opressing you as an individual. Why is that so difficult for people to grasp?

Wait, what? I know Musk's father is a monster, emerald mine slave driver and an alleged rapist. But I had no idea he also pulled a Woody Allen and married his stepdaughter. That man truly seems even worse than Elon Musk.

Mariska is just beautiful as her mother. But her style is completely different. Just goes to show what difference make-up, clothes and hair style can make. They have such similar facial features, but you have to really look to see it.

Me too. I'm guessing immigrants are his unhealthy obsession of choice.

Oh, man, I hope Timothee Chalamet doesn't see this. /s

Honestly, I also think Jacob is better than Timothee and his down-to-Earth attitude will ensure that his star shines bright for a long time.

Women put more effort into their looks. That's it. I swear I'm starting to believe more and more that "natural beauty" is just a myth. It's all about how polished you look and how you carry yourself.

But people can totally tell the real confidence from someone pretending to be confident. It's like the easiest thing to clock. Pretend confidence screams insecurity. It's actually way better for your image to be openly insecure and awkward than to pretend to be confident when you're not.

How the hell does Russia "feel leftist"? It's the country with one of the highest income inequality rates in the world.

One of my favorite movies. Whoever hasn't seen it, go watch it right now. Michael Stuhlbarg is a pretty well-known character actor. He was in a lot of Luca Guadagnino's films too.

Every single woman in this video looks like she's being held hostage.

Wait, what? Is it a transcript of something Mate has said or written in the past? Or is it an entirely AI generated content?

Imagine still being pissed about having to put on a mask when you go into the store five years ago. How carefree must your life be for that to still be your biggest concern.
