  • I give Ada a lot of credit. In the early days, I had the following interaction:

    TOPIC: Something about sexual/gender preferences, I don’t remember, asking people their preferences

    Me: responds with my preferences (I’m straight cis male, I like women so I’m down with post-transition trans women but pre-transition don’t turn me on)

    Some random user: respectfully asks if I would be willing to date a pre-transition trans man

    Me: I guess, but it probably wouldn’t work due to the fact that what I like about their body, they hate

    Some of those professionally offended people took a misleading screenshot of my response and started screaming about “chasers”.

    Ada did an admin post to the community backing me up and calling those idiots out.

    So unless she’s changed a lot, I don’t think she’s a troll. It would have been easy to go with the mob but she stuck up for me.


  • Your method of always voting for the lesser evil lead you here

    It literally, mathematically did not lol

    I am a straight white man, American citizen by birth. What leftist political activity I’ve done has been anonymous except for being a registered Democrat. Even in the worst case, I’ll be fine under the fascists.

    I voted for Kamala Harris to save YOUR ass. And if you can’t be bothered to at least do the same, well…when they come for you, you can comfort yourself with the fact that this is what you voted for.






  • I agree with the general thrust of what you’re saying, but your comment includes several contradictions. You imply that $400,000 a year is far too high a salary for a president of a company, but then you suggest that we should pay top dollar for a competent leader. You say we shouldn’t be angry at the manager making $40,000 more than us, but you also say to remove unnecessary middlemen.

    Generally, I think all of that is unnecessary considerations. As you said, some things just require a lot of people to physically be present for oversight and require a lot of regulations. Where these things are necessary for society, they should be paid for at least in part by taxes. It is immoral to have the bulk of this labor be done on the backs of uncompensated people. It is also immoral to set them up such that only the very wealthy can afford them. The only way to reconcile these two economic facts are through making them a publicly funded service.
