Why always get the gays involved? I swear, these people are obsessed with penises and projecting at this point.
I mean I'm a straight woman, I watched one video just because I was curious about the practicality of things and was too embarrassed to harass a gay friend about it.
But when I want to get horny now, it doesn't even cross my mind. Even though there was one scene with Nick Offerman that was really hot in The Last of Us.
So major projection from these people.
I have a gut feeling that something really nasty is going to come out about this guy. I mean worse than we all think he already is.

Someone made a very good post recapping, but I can't find it. Even as a non American, this scares the shit out of me. Democrats need to pull their heads out of their asses now or be ready for a real life Gilead.
I use duckduckgo and lately have been adding Lemmy at the beginning (like I did Reddit) and it really works. Search results come back if there is a discussion going on about the topic.
My mind is still baffled that you can let outside sources give government members money to do their bidding and call it 'lobbying.'
I mean if this happened where I live, we'd call it bribery.
AOC is on fire lately. I'm a big fan of her.
I live in a country where wages are linked to a central index.
The index measures how expensive life is becoming. If the prices of products and services rise, the index rises accordingly. If the figure exceeds the so-called central index, benefits and wages will automatically increase.
So, this happened in October again and next month I'll have an increase of 2% in wages.
It's more complicated than that, but most countries should use this to protect at the very least handicapped, sick or unemployed people who live on benefits.
It's not much, but it helps in a way.
I'm sorry but this makes Texas less than a third world country. This is just backwards and medieval.
The US really should think about implementing a law about hate speech, inciting violence against others, based on race, gender, religion, etc ...
Just copy paste from the law in Belgium, the UK or Germany. That way you can round up these people and maybe in a decade have a decent society again.
Wow, no one is going to mention what Israel is doing to these people? I don't agree with terrorists, but the replies should be more nuanced than 'bad Palestines'.
In my eyes, as an outsider following the news, Israel has pushed Palestinians to the brink by killing Palestine civilians, seizing more of their land AGAIN and having a dictator for a president that just changed the constitution..
If you take people's land, your military kills children, films and laughs about it, push them into poverty, and then come for their homes... Sometimes this is the only way to say 'enough'.
Sorry, long one.
Looking back, I think my oldest sister was one of the lucky ones.
One day, this guy my parents chose, flew into the country and two weeks later they were married.
The only 'good' thing is, he wasn't really religious, not bad looking and had her back, just an overall good guy. She quickly fell for him, but still begrudging him too, because it was not her choice.
He gave her more freedom, respect and trust than my parents ever did. He'd help with the kids, clean, cook, work etc... so she could go back to school for her degree.
My parents objected to that and her walking around without a stupid headscarf they pressured her into and he told them she was his wife now, he trusted her and she could do and dress as she pleased. She got her degree and started working.
They're still happily married now after 28 years and have 3 daughters. One of them even broke the wheel and married a Belgian guy :)
Times have really changed for the better for some of us.
The guillotine got axed. Someone should do something about it.
There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here's the blog post: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/
My country's news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what's probably the truth.
Edit: they're on Lemmy too.
