The best thing about Instagram models as opposed to real models is that you can rent them.


its a race to the bottom. there are like thousands of girls with 20k followers all trying to get to 100k followers, and the only way to break through the flesh ceiling is showing 90% of your breasts and ass while covering just the nipple and butthole. my favorite is when they act like fitness gurus but really give handies to their trainer for free lessons because they only make 15k a year in endorsements.

Of course Twitter is a value add to our culture. Stop pining for the 50s grandpa.


twitter is imo unarguably a net loss to society. half of the problems we're having in modern times is due to over-exposure to each other. in time we'll correct, but right now its a shitshow.

Except if one wants to open up a business that caters specifically to women, in which case our comrades on the left want you shut down.

It's certainly a new problem that this man is still walking about, to be sure.


He was convicted of child molestation?

"If weed is legalized, harder drugs will be next." is a slippery slope. Outcome undetermined.

"Once the LGBT community achieves tolerance, they'll look to mandate acceptance." is another one, and it looks like they were right.


In the former case your line is "legalized", specific action taken. In your second case its "look to" which isnt something specific. Youre moving the goalposts with your comparisons.

Also the claim I was referencing wasnt "hard drugs will be legalized", its that hard drugs will become more commonly used because weed is a gateway. This hasnt happened.

I slept with a tranny once but I did it ironically so it's not gay.

You're essentially describing doomsaying or divination. If it hasn't occurred yet, it's undetermined and once it occurs, "told you so!"

Good point. Depressed people aren't depressed, people with anxiety disorders are using feefees over FACTS and LOGIC and you can't prove that you are more than a brain in a vat.


People's subjective experiences are biased as fuck and they're not always the most reliable source of information even when it comes to mental health disorders which are often only of subjective nature when mild. People are surprisingly often wrong about what is actually going on in their heads. Not all depressed people are as depressed as they think they are, and people are often quite poor at questioning their own experiences and go defensive when someone else does it for them.

The biological categories are relatively arbitrary, sex is a bimodal classification based on groupings of attributes determined as either masculine or feminine. I.e. primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Which attributes meet the standard to be included in these categories is also relatively arbitrary. Is gender identity a sexual characteristic? I would argue so.

The whole 'biologically male/female' thing is an attempt to invalidate trans identities. Bodies can undergo significant change. Overlooked attributes may be relevant to sex classification.

Sex is a social construct my duder.


Everything is arbitrary, the concept of biological sex is just much more convenient. Not all are clearly male or female, but most fit in either of the two categories with the rest falling in between. We just accept that it's the most practical solution even in its imperfection

Taxonomies based on similarity are the way to go, if you are trying to build structures of knowledge like Biology. Ones based on differences are older and unintentionally hilarious.

Foucault talks about it a lot in The Order of Things.

Twitter, Instagram, any platform that lets people communicate and conform. People have forgotten how to think for their self. The internet has given rise to unforeseen levels of mob-think and echo-chamber ideology. Looking at political enclaves now and they are so isolated and established it's scary. People have their minds made up.

Liberalism itself is not a bad thing, it's what this country is founded on lol. It's when retards weaponize it for their own agenda.
