there is a lot of research about how arguing with people can drive them closer to their original positions because of defensive instincts, and in my personal experience it is true and a big reason why I no longer argue with strangers on the internet
you can’t fix people who don’t want to be fixed
you can’t fix people who don’t want to be fixed
This is a thing the person is going through on their own, and frankly, I think that is the way it needs to be. Deprogramming is hard, and sometimes talking at a person who is deep in the programming just puts them on the defensive.
They’ve gotta wake up first.

Communicating your needs and enforcing your limits doesn't make you a "bad" sub!
Needing emotional safety, wanting love, care and affirmation doesn't make you a "bad" dom.
The opposite is the case!
It's power"play", but as partners, you meet on eye level!
Good Dom/Sub means good for both of you!

It isn't normal for questions about a medical treatment that haven't produced any evidence to contradict the mainstream consensus to result in halting that treatment and I don't think we say it enough.
The Reason Gender-Affirming Care is Controversial is Base Prejudice — Assigned
Viewed as medicine, the treatments are remarkable only in their ability to
give hope to patients with no other evidence-based treatment.

New York City will deploy the K5, a "fully autonomous" security robot, in the Times Square subway station, the city's busiest underground transit hub. Armed with four cameras, the K5 is part of Mayor Eric Adams's push for more law-enforcement technology. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/n...

And we should all recognize that every one of these is an attempt to replace a real writing job that pays a living wage, with a "writing assistant" job that pays shit. Don't go there, writers!

Dont forget yall: retweet the shit you like. It is genuinely criticial that you interact with things on here because there IS no algorithm. I know you have the habit of never touching anything from twitter but you need to abandon it and adopt liking and retweeting en masse

The video game industry feels so much like the film industry at the end of the silent era in the way studios consider their own back catalogs to be worthless and abandon or actively suppress them in order to promote their new stuff. Like that era, we will find it to be an incalculable loss.
fun fact: 87% of games produced before 2010 are not legally available to the public via any means
