  • I have a friend of a friend, I’ll call him RustGamer, who is a 3 time Trump voter. He marched with me last Friday for the 50501 Veterans protests. The week before he learned for the first time since it’s occurrence that two people died on J6. He was willing to read the Jack Smith report and was deeply troubled by it.

    Sure there are some absolute shitmunchers and some so deluded they’re unsaveable. But for some, these people are misled, or downright brain washed.

    Rustgamer has no technical literacy outside of Rust. He watched whatever Facebook, Instagram, or ticktock pushed. And of course fox news since that’s what his parents taught him. He wasn’t good at searching for dissenting opinions because Google would just push him more propaganda sites when trying to, sponsored search results are evil.

    He’s been in a different reality for the last decade and is just now waking up. It took a lot of talking, a lot of biting my tongue, and showing him I a “radical leftist” actually wanted what’s best for both of us. It’s not easy and I completely understand if people aren’t in a mental place to do it with what’s going on. But we only get through this if we do it together.

    United we stand. Divided we fall.




  • I mean yeah, that would get the same point across? The specific use of the word woman makes that sexist. So your example is disingenuous. At no time did op call Schumer gay.

    Leave out the woman part and it is the same joke, with the same implications, but no sexism. Much like there is no homophobia in the original joke. Understanding social norms and implications isn’t homophobic.

    I have every authority to tell you what I find discriminatory. You’re welcome to tell me you feel insulted by what I say, and if we were actually in the real world I would be sure to avoid such jokes around you (if we interacted on a consistent basis). But I’m my circle, this is a nothing burger.

    It’s like a Trump supporter would get offended when you make fun of Trump’s tiny hands. Should we do our best to avoid offendeding them? Or are there certain people it’s ok to offend?

    Maybe we avoid making the joke because it might offended people with tiny hands? The joke works because it bothers Trump, not because there is anything with tiny hands. But hey just because some people might get upset it’s not an ok joke to use.

    This is the Internet. This is a melting pot of different people. I’m not gonna tailor every joke and every response to your sensibilities, or anyone else’s. Grow up.




  • Brother, sister, or other in the current context it’s a clear joke to show who is the “Dominant” and who is the “submissive”. If you understand current social dynamics, youd know that. Now we can have a conversation on if that’s appropriate considering the view is shaped by human histories use of rape as a weapon, especially when subjecting others, but that’s getting so unnecessarily deep. I can just understand this is a joke using modern social dynamics.

    Also, I’m Bi. I’ve been with two guys throughout my years. Or do I get to have another conversation on how I’m not actually gay?
