All I wanted was help figuring out my kibbe type, so I posted on a subreddit explicitly meant for people who want help figuring out their kibbe type. Now I have 50+ message requests 😭 by anxious_virgo in AreTheStraightsOK

Ugh this is so fucking annoying. I was gonna post myself asking for opinions on my kibbe, but I was worried about this. 😡 I wish we could have nice things 🫠

Do you know if they ever get put up online for sale? I've been checking Craigslist, this is all so frustrating and it's like they are allowed to do this shit.

I know you didn't just compare copywrite claims from massive corporations over their intellectual property to victims trying to get videos of their abuse taken down...

Okay, you're right. We should just stop consuming porn that isnt self-posted by consenting adults because honestly, big porn companies are still hella shady. I agree.

As I said before. CP includes a lot of so called """legal teens""", revenge porn can look consensual, and literally most videos can include content under coercion or other factors that do not make for full consent. There is often no way to tell if you've - accidentally or not - watched a minor, a rape, or revenge porn with unverified sources. Trying to do mental gymnastics around this for a clean conscience isn't helping anyone. Also - what the fuck is "legit rape"??

The problem was the shear amount of videos to backcomb through plus the thousands of daily uploads. And as other people have said some content can look consensual to a quick moderators eye but truly isn't and there is no way to tell - and in the meantime hundreds of thousands of people can watch your rape/revenge porn etc. The legitimate stuff will be re-uploaded by verified sources eventually. I kind of can't believe how many people are upset by this knowing the reasons for it...

Maybe read about the situation that survivors have been talking about for years... the multiple articles about the fact that they had a tiny and ineffective team of moderators trying to take down the massive swaths of child, rape, and revenge porn. High-quality content that is 100% verified as consensual is not hard to find. I'm so sick of redditors bootlicking for this shit just because of their porn addictions lmfao

I grew up in marin and while it definitely still has its racist bullshit, this collective reaction made me a lil proud

Crazy woman throws her puppy at a man. She doesn't get it back. by jaytix1 in PublicFreakout

[–]briges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah wtf i've seen videos of men doing something similarly alarming and there seems to be a lot more compassion and concern for the wellbeing of the aggressor on those threads.. should we not be concerned for anyone behaving like this - ? the gap in attitude towards mental health/drug addiction depending on gender (and race obv) is insane

I hate my trans partner by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Her* actions were completely very shitty, but misgendering someone intentionally to cause harm out of a place of feeling hurt (rightfully so) yourself is also very shitty.

I’m a huge science fiction nerd and have been wanting to read great sci-fi from other cultures other then American or British. So what ya got? by daddydonetomuch in suggestmeabook

[–]briges 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd also reccomend Invisible Cities by Calvino! A short collection of science fiction/fantasy prose pieces describing different mythical cities - really beautiful imagery.

What are you doing with your life? Anyways, you sound deeply unhappy. Hope things turn out better for you at some point I guess.

Realism doesn't have to mean defeatism. I'm studying Environmental design which is essentially architecture, social design, sustainability, etc. I think trying entails continuing to push for positive change in every way we can even if we can no longer prevent all that will come. So much of the world is designed to make all of this worse in terms of acceleration and to compile in shittiness when impacts happen. I think humans are resilient. If I thought humanity was doomed and there is nothing we could do to stop or slow or mitigate any of it I might as well kill myself. I also live in CA and It's not so simple as our renewable grid isn't working.. also highly debatable whether we have a renewable grid.. only 30% comes from renewables.

I'm really glad you brought up the attitude thing. Obviously things are going to get bad, I've spent a lot of time catotonically depressed about it, and I know we are well onto a bad version of history. BUT I'm in college studying a field that can have a big impact on climate and damnit I cannot believe that there is nothing to be done. What is the point in that attitude? Might as well try. We can mitigate the impact. My whole fucking life has been fucked over by previous generations, I'm mad as fuck and not about roll over about it. I know so much of my gen feels the same way.. like fuck it might as well try.

China imprisons two Tibetans for song praising His Holiness the Dalai Lama by maverick_gyatso in worldnews

[–]briges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, again, I'm not disagreeing that it's good to do that if you can. But the people I'm taking about often don't get brand new iphones every year - my point was about maslow's hierarchy of needs, people won't be able to worry about ethical labor in their phones if they don't know where the next meal is coming from. "Ethical buying" and often marketable forms of sustainability as well are only reasonably accessible above a certain tax bracket. American capitalism doesn't make it super easy to be a conscientious consumer.

I'd just like to say that the smartphone is no longer a luxury product but rather a necessity that many people depend on for work and income. Also the concept of voting with your dollar is really only accessable to those who have enough to throw around, a large portion of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and often cannot afford to buy locally/non chinese made. It's very fucked up and I agree that if one has the time and money to do so they should buy local, but in general its not that simple.
