Me after being grounded in middle school

Nahh but they stopped using this site later anyways. Not a major user of this site in the first place

I messaged someone a year ago after he implied he was a college student in my state. We exchanged instagrams and he turned out to be over 40 at a community college (which is cool, I assumed he’d be my age but was still happy to have a hexbear for an insta mutual)

Then he started flirting with me, although when I told him I wasn’t interested in that he stopped. But then he asked if we could meet up, and for me to “prove I’m actually 19 and not a minor” because “it’s hard to tell with people around your age” or something. Told him pretty definitively that I didn’t want to meet up, and blocked him after he was like “you sure? Just looking for a communist friend, and I have free beer”

Sorta related, what’s with the UK and so many shitty sensationalist right-wing tabloids? Like, fox news is probably our most insane mainstream fake news outlet, why do they have so many?

Well she did say this

Those comments are meant to be stupidly funny for teenagers not have substance lol (tho theyre pretty clever sometimes imo). If you get it you get it (and are also probably terminally online)

The self-censorship is bc tiktok has a history of shadowbanning content that uses certain words

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.

their communities are, quite something,

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:

I’m also bi and have a cat like this. I think he likes girls more in general though, even when I bring a guy friend over he’s hissing at him, but he’s always immediately warm to girls? He was abused by a man in the past so I think I’m pretty much the only man he likes (when I first got him it took a while for him to like me)

He especially hates when I date men and have them over a lot. He doesn’t scratch or bite but he peed in my ex-bf’s limited edition nike shoes as well as on his work pants that were on the floor! He’s neutered and these are literally the only occasions he’s peed outside of his litter box
