I've lived in states that are about a quarter of the size of the EU, but with less than 1% of the population

Besides Alaska there aren't multiple states that would fit that description tho. Texas is about one-sixth of the size of the EU but has a huge population, Montana's the 4th biggest state (after AK/TX/CA) but around one-twelfth the EU's size

You're probably being hyperbolic or smth this is just me being pedantic lmao I have OCD

Yeah stuff like mile high club is legaler than you think, one time I took weed gummies with my ex-boyfriend before a flight which gave us the brilliant idea to go to the first class bathroom together at 4am to "make out," he gave me a blowjob and that was that. It's literally only illegal if you're caught in the act and something like that you physically can't be, just don't make noise

Not recommending or condoning it we're just fucking stupid stoner college kids. If someone saw us coming out, we pass as two straight guys so we thought we'd say something like "we're just friends who needed somewhere private to talk about something personal" centrist In the off chance someone presses you can just pull a limited hangout and say this is the first time you're seeing each other in a while and you wanted to kiss, there's literally no way they can know you did more

I only found one poll measuring 18-24 year olds (Harvard-Harris) and they phrased the questions in a really manipulative way; like you can immediately infer support for Israel would be lower if they didn't force you to pick between "Israel" and "Hamas" (and when you don't even have a "no answer" option, people who are generally pro-Palestine but don't want to openly side with Hamas will just... not answer). And yet pretty surprisingly, half of 18-24 yos sided with Hamas?

All this poll tells me is gen z is relatively based and millennials are also a bit more based than I assumed

A lot of people also aren't falling for it since they remember 01

I'm sure a lot of people can see that, but it's also kinda ironic how people who weren't even old enough to truly remember post-9/11 are far more on the right side of history on this lol

Like I'm 20, no one my age was even born on 9/11 and yet it definitely seems like the majority of people my age support Palestine, and actively supporting Israel almost seems fringe. Meanwhile most 30-35+ year old Americans who should be seeing the parallels seem like proud zionists

Ok that makes sense, in my head I honestly assumed an abbreviation or a euphemism for the word you're talking about in the spoiler would have the same effect, but I didn't think about how different words can be more striking.

Ngl I don't fully understand the point of content warnings in so many cases where the warning is equally as potentially triggering as the content itself.

I get it if the content of the post is actually worse, but in a lot of cases it's like, people already mention the same exact thing they're giving a warning for... by saying it in the warning. Example:

"CW: SAThey were sexually assaulted"
