I remember being kinda terrified by TC69 in the beginning, partly because I was a lib and also because I was worried the new pronoun thing would mean I'd be forced to use male pronouns on the site, which... uhhh... bothered me, for some reason. lol. Now, however, I am fully indoctrinated into the TRANS AGENDA and clearly see the benefit that upholding TC69 thought brings to the site.

Also, I remember feeling a sense of happiness and hope whenever I'd log into the site and I'd see BrookeBaybee's latest I LOVE MY TRANS COMRADES post. When the rest of the world and humanity seemed so horribly shitty, it was heartening to see one person who dedicated time every day to making sure strangers on the internet feel loved. I still think about this pretty often, to be honest.

Earlier this year, when my egg shell was still yet unbroken, there was screenshot someone posted of the Onion headline about a trans ally coming out as trans. Seeing it... Gave me some thoughts, and I posted a comment hinting that maybe the headline was something I identified with. Cromalin responded with some kind and helpful advice about possible next steps and reading it made me feel a little more comfortable with what was going on in my head, and a giant crack appeared down the middle of my egg shell. Months later I fully came out as trans.

I'm very grateful to these people for their positive influence on the site and I hope they're all doing well right now.

I can't believe they're letting kids see this kinda filth

This is extremely creepy

I was just joking about the gaylag btw

In 2021, the AI companion app Replika came under scrutiny after authorities in the U.K. saw a 19-year-old man planning to assassinate the Queen after he was encouraged by an AI girlfriend built on the app.

Critical support?

The idea that the US could even hope to “resolve key challenges” here is laughable. China is too far ahead in manufacturing and companies aren’t willing to spend the massive amounts of money required to expand manufacturing in the US.

Bit idea: Go into chud Facebook groups complaining about the lack of gloryholes in this day and age and blame their disappearance on “the woke mob”. Then try to get people riled up enough to start a movement dedicated to bringing them back.

Didn’t hang out with family but I did drink too much and now I feel like I wanna barf.

Also, what if Mr. Beast got implants and changed his name to Mr. Breast

Finding out that Hunter Biden is actually Trump’s biological son would be an absolutely amazing plot twist

For some reason my phone keeps typing "furry porn" into google searches. Not sure what exactly is going on.

1 in 4 cars sold in China in 2022 were EVs, and China has more than 50% of global share of EVs. Anecdotally, even with Chinese cars that aren't EVs, it's pretty rare to see the massive trucks or SUVs that are more common in the US, though they do exist. Also if you look at total car ownership per capita, China (226 vehicles per 1000 people) is well below the US (908 vehicles per 1000 people).
