i just pull out a gun and win, simple.

yeah but ur busy trying to do all that stupid grapple shit so i just shoot you

i would just murder them simply

twink anon is quiet because he walked towards me aggressively and i shot him 27 times

but if you did i would just start blasting

god i fucking hate jake tapper

i just saw his face on the tv and it made me mad

he should have lost his job for that pathetic book

IMO

spineless weasal fake journalist fuck

crying because he couldn't get exclusive access to the president lmao

i've been thinking a lot about that quote recently "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" i don't think this is true

or at least i don't think that, liberals or dems have the intellgence or will to do this properly

like i think they invite a lot of people who are the "enemy" of the republicans but never take into account that these people desipise them just as much, and never plan for the inevitable betrayal or attemp to coup the movement

but idk

idk

i think anti-intellectualism has become praised more and more recently

and i think misinformation and propaganda is at least at this point too hard to deal with

i mean im kinda anti-intellectual for saying this but i think the fact they're so resistant to releasing anything FEELS like they're hiding SOMETHING

ur not conspiraracy brained enough idiot

isreal is involved in it too now

yeah that's what that cenk guy was pushing lmao

idk what to do

although this is my theory, i think that AI will accelerate the misinformation on the internet to the point where the internet is no longer trusted pushing people back into offline spaces and sources

i think AI will kill the internet, at least without significant changes

i'm not saying they don't, but the problem is, slowly, everything on the internet will be impossible to differentraite from AI

And like IMO you can already see people being pushed more and more away from the internet. Like there's a lot more movements now to push people offline, or into discords or small communites and away from the larger web.

but that's just me spitballing, IDK i haven't necessarily given it a ton of thought

I think it's already happening though

i don't think smaller communities will necessarily fare better re: misinformation

but i do think AI is going to kill the internet, for better or for worse.

i'm gonna get DENNY'S

what should i get

i don't move into my apartment until tomorrow otherwise I Would (tm) made stuff

the nice part of my job though is that we're not allowed to have phones er while working. But we are allowed to read and stuff, so on midnights, I think I might actually be able to get into reading which will be kinda nice

just well like 6 straight hours of peace and quiet basically, most nights, although sometimes there's err one or two customers

oh yeah i've been debating getting back into church stuff

not megachurches tho

small catholic churches can be pretty nice depending on the community

it depends on the community

but it's nice sometimes

and i think it's a good way to meet people

>>750148
yes, but the protestants and the anglicans are fucking monsters and i hate them generally

(joking kind of)

>>750153
the issue with protestant churches is they took a religion that was already sexist and was like "well maybe we should be a bit more sexist" and erased Mary

but that's my Controversial Religion Opinions

and i grew up catholic lol so i am in fact biased

really?

that's crazy to me

not saying it's bad i'm not actually that religious, i just find sometimes, it's easier to meet, not insane people by going to church when moving to a new community

but it's definitely dependent on your specific community

yeah and this all-powerful god chose to act through saints and those people should also be worshipped, and Mary literally birthed and aspect of God so in a sense she is the Mother of everyone and should be worshipped as well and erasing her is purely sexist

wassup fampais

ok and the protestants only exist because some dipshit english king wanted to divorce

so i don't take them seriously

well listen they definitely have some probleems in their organization lmao

ok i c u r doing religious wars

a bit of errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr child abuse and not really a bit like possible as high as like 20% or something....

yeah i'm not saying that it doesn't happen outside of the catholic church but the caltholic church defintely covered it up

>>750177
likewise with orthodox jewish communities. there are lots of cases of sexual violence where the rabbis tell those involved that they shouldn't go to the police because it is better to resolve things internally. for some reason religious radicalism and sexual abuse tend to go together.

but anyways all i was saying was that i might go to church to see if i can like meet people in the community, or at least hear about some events where i can meet people

sorry idk what's going on with the conversation i just wanted to share fun images

>>750183
i only saw the comic

>>750184
that's ok nonny

>>750184
it is a good image though i only saw the comic until now i had no idea it was like a thing

>>750186
yh! i know what u mean

this place is rlly interesting

>>750194
?

oh lol

>>750190
i fantasize about being eaten, is that the same thing?

>>750196
i don't entirely relate but i see the appeal of that!! similar kinda thing yh. there's the whole thing of 'cannibalism as the ultimate expression of love' as an art thing

>>750191
LOL

>>750199
[USER WAS MARKED AS GLOWIE FOR THIS POST]

>>750202
hm? waddya mean :o

wait btw does this place use all the /tttt/ brainworms lingo

it used to but it has been cleansed

>>750207
woaww genuinely? wait so how related is this kind of space to 4chan stuff then?

not literally but people have been hash tag debrainwormed

>>750208
it's adjacent but not evil lol

oh that's a relief lmao

i think it's really interesting with /tttt/-adjacent spaces, how the culture starts to change as you get further from /tttt/ itself (like even r/4tran is a lil better but still shit, and something like r/fitttts is a lot less brainwormed)

as far as i know this is literally literally the only moderated chan (literally)

>>750216
damnnnn that's cool

>>750214
it really is. i think /lgbt/ is honestly bad for most of the people who regularly post there. the haters because harassing others corrodes the soul, and the hated because it's just self-harm. i say this as someone who used to post there for a very long time. and honestly, there are nice things about it as well. i learned a lot from many conversations that i had there with all of sorts of people, discussing things i wouldn't be able to bring up in polite society haha. even so, despite of what good it did, i absolutely recognize my mental health got way better after i left.

>>750218
wow that's really interesting. also well done for leaving that must've been difficult. would you say the appeal of those kinds of spaces comes from like the ability to say things you couldn't usually say in other trans spaces? like expressing anger? i've heard that. also ppl go there to escape 'hugboxing' which some people think exists in main trans spaces, others don't. i think i see the appeal in it for that as like an escape from 'toxic positivity' but then it's just so in the opposite direction of just 'toxic negativity' that it's then not useful ig. does that make sense? maybe i'm speaking nonsense lol

>>750219
it does make sense. many people say that's the reason why they use it. i think it's accurate, but also that some of the people post there just happen not to be great either. you can be both a victim and a victimizer sometimes. as for the appeal, for me, it was the ability to debate anything. unfortunately lots of people who had little interest in discussing things honestly made things way harder.

>>750220
i never posted there but i got into /tttt/-adjacent spaces via reddit sadly. first from r/transgendercirclejerk, and then the brainworms started piling up. i only visited the board like twice and both times i was like "this isn't funny like some of the greentexts this is just bleak" and so i didn't really go back

>>750224
yeah on the one hand i do get not wanting to feel patronised or lied to with stuff like 'hugboxing' but like /tttt/ is like the inverse problem where everyone's just so negative even when it defies reality. just making people feel like shit. idk how to solve 'hugboxing' as a problem but it's defo a lesser evil to brainworms. i hate that i have all these things in my head

>>750223
i think it legit got worse over time, or else my immunity has waned

so, funny story, i'm pretty sure i got hugboxed with regard to my appearance on /lgbt/ lol. ime it isn't really the lack of hugboxing as it is some very mean people being cruel to everyone and some very nice people still being overly nice to everyone. imo the freedom came more from being able to discuss anything without getting banned.

>>750222
hm that's interesting. maybe with the anonymity + unmoderated aspects that makes saying mean and anti-social shit a lot easier? because there's no consequences. but i guess that's also part of the appeal

it's also a matter of people being banned from every other place

they drain into this nether well

it is a natural process

>>750227
discussing what kinds of stuff?

>>750225
with regard to brainworms, i find that it helps just to spend time in a more sane environment. these are learned reactions you're dealing with, and with time, they will fade, like all other "skills". it's all use-it-or-lose-it in memory land.

>>750234
huh that's nice. hopefully they'll go over time, but even though i know the concepts are all bullshit it's just stuck in my head. and i apply it to myself but not any other trans people. though i guess that's standard, internalised transphobia

>>750232
theories of transness, for instance. and no this isn't code for cringe blanchard shit, though there was lots of that too there. i just found it interesting looking into the biological and social aspects and the philosophy of it idk.

>>750235
ahh yes. "everyone but me is valid syndrome". many such cases.

can relate

>>750237
b-but... everyone but me is valid!!! this is literally true...... for me and only me..

>>750236
ohhh that's interesting yh

i think i'd be scared to ever use a space like that bcs i'm not white lol and 4chan ain't exactly great for that

it's super racist yeah :/

i kind of regret stumbling upon it as a 15 year old. just kind of stuck there over time. but looking back, it was never a very nice place.

trannies online have told me im not valid.

>>750244
seems bad play the uno reverse card

i know i should care about that a lot less than i do

there are all sorts of people in this world. i hope you don't let that get to you. i'm sure most other transgender folks wouldn't say that.

>>750244
booooo that's bullshit. sorry they were shitty to you like that

there's always pick-me's ig who just wanna be the only valid ones >>750249

religion is cool except for all of the bigotry lol

shame it's everywhere

imo the issue is more with organised religion, bcs that gives institutional power to people like priests who can then use that to abuse people

and also gives the church institutional power which they can then impose on the state to push their agenda

speaking as someone with schizophrenia, the problem with organized religion is they dont know epistemology well enough.

>>750258
wdym?

>>750259
it is possible to keep the insane thoughts cordoned off by remembering empirical principles

hm okay

>>750260
that's interesting. does it work for you? it's not really the same but i've suffered from night terrors years ago and a few of them came with hallucinations. i don't think i was really thinking rationally when those happened, but maybe it's different when it comes to schizophrenia.

>>750262
terror makes everything worse. your mind runs away at a billion miles an hour. to counter that you need to practice deliberately calming and centering and grounding yourself

i wonder if it really is a matter of discipline or if there is something different about the half-asleep state

mamdani just walked back defund the police, online leftists are in shambles

i think it was because the police officer got killed in that mass shooting so the repuiblicucks brought it up as a gotcha against him

i hope cuomo gets ejected from the party what a piece of shit

running an independent campagign should immediately get you banned from running under the party label again, actual ghoul behavior

mamdani won fair and square

controversial take mamdani isn't even that radical lmao

like i don't agree with all of his ideas, but he's literally not some rabid communist who is going to murder all wall street bankers

>>750277
yeah but i don't think he needs to. I think if he tries some of his policies on the municipal level we can gather valuable data

like the city owned grocery stores seems stupid as fuck, but at a municpal level i don't see why it's not worth trying even if it fails,

that's fine if you have the public owned grocery store no?

i don't think it will work, but i also don't necessarily see the issue in trying it. I think it could be a lot like UBI, where people thought it would be a terrbile idea, but in all the pilot programs that have been tried so far, it has shown positive results in productivity and economic activity

i think there's not enough data to really say how effective it could be

i don't think stores will just pull snap tbh i think they're saying that because they would be forced to compete with the public grocery store and they're scared of having real competition

it's kind of not tight. A lot of grocery stores AFAIK almost directly collude against each other.

but anyways what do you have to refute this

>With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real “public option.”
>not even required to take SNAP/WICI
is it factual that they don't even HAVE to take snap in order to receive the money

i'm not sure and there's no source on his website

but if his claim is true, and they're just taking money without no legal requirement to take snap then that's retarded

yeah idk

but my point more is, on a municipal level, I literally don't care either way

if it's a dogshit program and horrible, welp then i guess new york can just reverse it and it's effects are insulated. If its a great program and is amazing, then we can copy that on the national level

>Zohran has a plan to bring down the cost-of-living through city-owned grocery stores, universal childcare, and other bold proposals, and he knows exactly how to pay for it, too. Zohran’s revenue plan will raise the corporate tax rate to match New Jersey’s 11.5%, bringing in $5 billion. And he will tax the wealthiest 1% of New Yorkers—those earning above $1 million annually—a flat 2% tax (right now city income tax rates are essentially the same whether you make $50,000 or $50 million). Zohran will also implement common-sense procurement reform, end senseless no-bid contracts, hire more tax auditors, and crack down on fine collection from corrupt landlords to raise an additional $1 billion.
oh this is why there's so much shilling against him it makes so much more sense now

yeah i was more talking about the media being so psychotically against him

>>750302
yeah i mean, i was more talking about, like the weatlthy dems obviously are okay with him. More that, broadly, I think the large backlash against him was funded by wealthy people who were furious about this

and i think everything else is just essentially bullshit basically

>In the world’s richest city, making the minimum wage shouldn’t mean living in poverty. But that’s exactly what it means for working people today, even with the hard-won increase in the state minimum wage. When incomes don’t match the true cost of living, government services have to make up the difference – effectively subsidizing low wage employers.

>As Mayor, Zohran will champion a new local law bringing the NYC wage floor up to $30/hour by 2030. After that, the minimum wage will automatically increase based on the cost of living and productivity increases. When working people have more money in their pocket, the whole economy thrives.
although this is fucking unhinged

will probably get blocked but jaysus if this happened NYC would be destroyed

>>750308
if they doubled the minimum wage in 5 years it would destroy the economy

and the productivity increases are ... er ... like i think setting a minumum wage based on that is concerning

well he's doing the rent freeze which like rent freezes are stupid, don't work. But at least he said he was going to build more housing (which will actually solve the rent problem) so i'm not that upset about it

>>750315
WHY DO YOU HATE YOURSELF I WILL MURDER YOU

TWINK YOU HAVE TO KILL LUCA

>However, Canadian goods that meet the terms of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement will not be subject to the tariff, which means the vast bulk of Canada's exports can still cross the border tariff-free.
lmao TACO

i wonder if that deal will really hold up

i don't see france actaully going with it

France could destroy germany ez
