The people in relationships who complain that single people simply have too high standards, how happy are they in their own relationships?

There is something about the loser GenX men who have 15-25yos sons, the higher % of women in colleges/majors, women who demand respect, the slow radicalization via video games (aka Gamergate) to Joe Rogan pipeline, and the lack of community centers, which explains right shift of young men

Also, people ask sometimes how I knew the cases in my book weren’t false allegations.

And the answer is that they’re all like this. Perpetrators confess! They just insist their violence was justified, blame the victim, and their schools take their side.

A (single) friend of mind just reconnected with her (long ago) high school boyfriend. He's successful, handsome, single, and very keen on her. When he asked her "So are you into choking" I assure you she blocked him SO fast

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that “gender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive “GC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right?

But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.
