Aw man “surplus value” woulda been a lot funnier than labor :(

i remember back in the day i was in my feelings about bernie getting got so i got banned from r/neolib for calling them all 's, good times but also bad times

if it makes you feel better u missed out on some extremely cringe growing pains

he's actually secretly a softie who loves his friends and is everyone's grouchy dad but it takes a bit to figure this out and at a glance he can feel like shadow the hedgehog levels of edgycool

frail and forgotten 4th son of big boss who works in data management checking in : /

crackers when we internalize the fact we don't actually have our own continent:

our big beautiful comrades swooping in to cradle us in the embrace of love anyway:

we deserve love but only if we reject the ""European"" construct of whiteness and embrace the fact that we're northwest Asian

is this a jealous or...a romantic ? Not that it's my business or anything...

Nah legit the one part of anglo/American culture I will defend with my whole chest this shit is dope and the more of it that exists the better

Tbh I think they're only good for femme peeps if you're A) mostly just looking for casual stuff (not to say serious relationships are impossible on the apps, just difficult to find) and B) are willing to sign a deal with the devil where you will absolutely be sexually harassed by a deluge of fucking weirdos. There's a reason for the gender skew on the apps and I suspect being bombarded by creeps and unsafe people is a huge reason women/femme presenting ppl aren't on these awful things anymore. Though idk I'm male presenting so I'm relying on speculation here. But I really do think it's bad for both sides, just in different ways (this is assuming hetero relationships ofc, things change a lot I'd imagine if you're looking for gay relationships on the apps).

EDIT: realize "deal with the devil" language could sound victim blame-y, to clarify it is 100 percent only the fault of the creepy dudes harassing women and not of the women who are using one of the only available options left to meet people reliably.

Matt has done a lot to influence and shape me - not just on my journey of political discovery - but also in terms of learning to become comfortable being a more openly loving and vulnerable (as well as more grounded) person. While of course I don't know him, he's always seemed like a genuinely good man. Sending nothing but love and solidarity to our large son. Love yourselves and everyone around you.
