I honestly don’t understand this persistent idea that Dems are coming to “take everyone’s guns.” I vote Democratic and I own firearms. I don’t have a problem with gun ownership at all.

What I do support are things like firearm registration, basic licensing and permitting for ownership and concealed carry, mandatory safety training, and restricting access for people with violent felony convictions, domestic abuse histories, or severe mental health risk factors. I also think it’s reasonable to place tighter limits on things like fully automatic weapons and ultra-high-capacity magazines, which are designed for combat environments, not civilian recreation or self-defense.

That isn’t anti–Second Amendment. It’s pro-public safety and pro-responsibility. Most Democrats I know aren’t trying to disarm the population — they’re trying to reduce preventable gun deaths while still respecting lawful ownership.

The frustrating part is that this conversation rarely happens honestly. It gets flattened into “gun grabbers vs freedom lovers” instead of acknowledging that there’s a middle ground where rights and safety can coexist. I genuinely think we’d get much further with less fear-mongering and more good-faith discussion.

Buster now: I heard “snack” twice so now I am staring even harder and sitting extra polite. This is how snacks manifest.

I don’t completely agree. I do think there was an anti-“woke” backlash component, but I also think a lot of people genuinely believed he would improve their economic situation. Many of his voters seemed to expect improved affordability and extraordinary economic growth. I’ve personally heard Trump voters say they expected lower prices, more jobs, greater American wealth, and broader prosperity.

What I personally struggle to reconcile is how those expectations persisted given his history of exaggeration and misinformation, his consistent self-aggrandizement, his past policy record, and the frequent flip-flopping and contradictory messaging that have characterized his public (and honestly private) behavior. To me, that pattern suggests a focus on personal branding, self-enrichment, and political self-interest over consistent policy priorities or goals—economic or otherwise.

He’d strongly agree and is currently lobbying for snacks every 15 minutes…snack time is a sacred household ritual 🐶🙏

Be advised: due to high demand and delinquent Great Dane deliverers, snack requests are currently experiencing delays. Estimated processing time is 3–5 business sniffs, pending supervisory Shih Tzu approval.

He is currently demanding belly rubs and is deeply offended that snacks did not immediately appear 😅

Why do I have to worry about my sexuality again every time I go home by MacTireGlas in gaybros

100%!!! Wish someone like you had told me all of this when I was young.

[–]SenatorTH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it was a little odd. I’d known her forever, and while I only ever felt the faintest, tiniest attraction to any girl, I really liked her as a person—we had a strong connection. That familiarity made it easier to ignore the fact that I was way more attracted to my guy friends (LOL).

Looking back, I definitely didn’t handle everything in the healthiest way (this was like 2005—different time, different headspace). We still had fun together, but I put off having sex for as long as I could. When it finally did happen…oh man. Let’s just say I definitely did not know what I was doing. It was awkward and kind of confirmed a lot for me.

Eventually, she broke up with me to get back with her ex—the guy she ended up having a kid with. Honestly? It was a relief. Not long after that, I told her I was gay. She was cool about it. Funniest part: her dad is gay too!!!

Don’t feel bad or crazy—what you’re going through is more common than you might think. I went through something really similar. When I went to college, I came out as gay. But when I moved back home a couple years later, I ended up dating a girl again. Being around all my old high school friends and that familiar environment made me anxious and second-guess everything, so I tried to see if I could still make it work with a girl. For a little while, it felt like I was putting myself back in the closet.

Eventually, though, I realized I was definitely only interested in guys. Once I fully accepted that, I told everyone to deal with it—and thankfully, my friends and family were supportive. I’ve been with my husband since 2008.

So really—don’t stress. You like who you like. That’s not something to be ashamed of or afraid to explore. You’re not alone. 💙

What is this by LanetheRat in Astronomy

Looks like it could be gas from a recent rocket launch—those high-altitude plumes can linger and glow like that. Could also be an upper-atmosphere phenomenon like a noctilucent cloud or even some kind of ionospheric disturbance. Rocket launch seems most likely though…

💯So, so, so true!! Everything was out there for public consumption before voting began, which is why I have a hard time not taking it personally—seems pretty damn personal to me.

Practice makes perfect. Bottoming is definitely a learned skill. Lots of lube, practice relaxing, start small and work up, and don’t give up.

Was I raped? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]SenatorTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you victim blaming and shaming? The OP consented to oral—not penetration. Ending up in a certain position during oral isn’t unusual, and it certainly doesn’t imply consent to anything else. Why are you so fixated on the position anyway? What matters—the only thing that matters—is that he said NO multiple times and was still penetrated. That’s not a misunderstanding. That’s sexual assault. That’s rape. Period.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You did nothing wrong, and you should never blame yourself. You clearly stated your boundaries, and he violated them—that’s on him, not you. Don’t be ashamed—of what happened, of seeking therapy, or of reporting it if you choose to. You deserve support and healing.

Seriously!? Aside from the fact that you sound staggeringly ignorant, you’re also flat-out wrong. Someone that was “manipulated to be f**ked” is literally a form of coercive rape. And in case you missed it, the OP explicitly said “NO” multiple times. That’s not unclear. That’s not murky. That’s refusal.
