  • Let me get this straight:

    If a man removes a condom mid-sex, against his partner’s wishes, and continues to have sex with her until his finishes inside her, you believe the issue here is her “regret” for having sex with a man that would violate her sexual boundaries, and not the fact that a man forced a woman to have sex with him in a way she did not consent to, that could have extraordinary negative consequences for her?

    Fuck off with that sexist victim-blaming bullshit. Consent is fundamental to sex. Sex without consent is rape.

    And don’t argue that consent was withdrawn after-the-fact. Consent was granted on the condition that a condom be worn. The moment you insert your bare cock into her, you’re fucking raping her.

    I’m sorry I have to spell this out for you so graphically, but someone needs to explain consent to you since your parents never evidently never did.



  • Anybody using Signal for secure messaging is misguided. Any one of your recipients could be using the desktop app and there’s no way to know unless they tell you.

    That’s why I only communicate face-to-face inside of a soundproofed faraday cage.

    If the app manages the keys, then you can’t trust the app.

    If the recipient manages their own keys, then you can’t trust the recipient.

    Encryption is fundamentally insecure. Once I encrypt something, nobody should be able to decrypt it ever again.

    March 2020. That was some early pandemic optimism.

    My last day in the office was the day before this tweet was posted. My team and I said shit like “see everyone in a month or so” to each other on the way out. Lmao, we had no idea we were never stepping foot back in that office again.


  • Yeah, this is one of those stupidity litmus tests. Believing that the Earth is flat vs. round does appear at face value to be consequential, as the average person never actually has to care about the curvature of the earth. However, it’s not really about the curvature of the earth, it’s about critical thinking, listening to evidence, and having a sane and rational worldview.

    There is physical evidence that the earth is round, and you can even test it yourself. Flat earthers will run these tests themselves (watch “Behind the Curve”) and will still convince themselves that the tests are flawed and the Earth is flat.

    And being a flat-earther isn’t just a simple difference in belief about the natural world. It comes with the belief that most of society is brainwashed into believing in a round earth, that the governments of the world are all colluding to keep the truth a secret, and that there exists some great truth about the “Firmament” (the dome above the flat earth) that those in power benefit from denying society.

    So it’s not just some simple difference in belief. Flat earthers think you’re a stupid brainwashed rube controlled by a global cartel of godless governments colluding to blind the world to the existence of God by denying the existence of the Firmament and and spreading the Satanic evil of scientific knowledge that suggests that all things in the solar system trend spherical and orbit one another.

    Flat earthers hold roughly the same beliefs that the people who imprisoned Galileo, and they would do it again if given the chance because they are overwhelmingly MAGA-types, at least in the USA, where lunatic conspiratorial beliefs are quite common.
