Losing a court case funded by a gay guy you publicly outed because you ignored a judicial order to stop hosting revenge porn ain't exactly Watergate

The "date safety" app got hacked by 4chan

For those that don't know, some retard created an app called Tea where women could collectively vet their dates.

Something tells me they're not using those profile pictures on their dating apps. 

[simiansmarts]

Why in the FUCK would you upload your drivers license to get into a gossip app?
 
Just join a Facebook group like a normal person.

[HaughtyFrank]

I guess modern dating is about who can doxx the other one first

Wait, you guys didn't have to upload your driver's license, social security number and mother's maiden name when you signed up to the Bire? 

Next you're going to tell me Benji isn't a Nigerian prince

Women have pretty much turned dating into anything but dating.

It's part validation/attention, part chatting, part swiping for casual sex with "no emotions" and part for coffees and drinks with relationship material. All glaced in doxxing, social media slop and groupchat gossip.

The apps are just larps, the person people want to be, not the one they actually are. Men can build themselves to be "that guy" though, women not so much, they lose value as they age, while men gain it. Which is why they have cornered themselves into an impossible position. 

I read the other day that liberals/feminists thought that marriage was about men having control over their wives and children. But it was all about "locking" men into relationships. Now women are finding out that when you remove monogamy and children the "best" men have an abundance of choice and never have to settle. Other suitable men capable of building are just fine by themselves. They don't want to clean up the 'the mess', it's not worth it. For both groups of men capable, healthy and resourceful enough to form families the end is result is the same: they don't really care about marriage and they don't really care about dating.

edit: omg

Well, yeah, because you're missing the point. People are living paycheck to paycheck, and ingredients go bad before people have a chance to use the other half of the onion. I buy with the intention of using everything I buy, but realistically, a bunch of it goes bad before we can use up the rest.

What's really being expressed is that you need to invest $35 in a meal to have that meal exist, and if you can go out and pay $12 for a sandwich instead, with no effort and guaranteed no wasted ingredients for you, that makes more sense. The bonus in leftover ingredients comes from a valid state of mind surrounding deprivation, investment, and risk.

If you're privileged enough that you don't need to consider all that, I can see how that would rub people the wrong way.

this feels like one of those "it is known" rhetorics from deep into oppression culture that accidentally leaked out and of course isn't compatible with the real world, they may have even badly misinterpreted whatever point was originally being made

it may even have been sentiment like "it's really expensive to be poor, not only do you have to buy raw ingredients but you have to have the forethought and planning to ration out supplies and use them up before they go bad, so it costs time as well" which morphed into what we see here

everyone always wants to believe anything phrased like "did you know?! ACTUALLY this thing is like this instead! the complete opposite of what you thought and what logic would dictate! isn't that wild?!"

People have been making the great jeans/genes Dad joke for as long as I can remember.

Now it gets the ok symbol treatment?

[Polident]

Is it not just a reference to the old suspect Brooke Shields Calvin Klein jeans ad?

[Nintex]

Between the icks to identify subhumans, 'lower' races doing all the hard work while they perform meaningless administrative tasks to keep the machine going, the hatred for the jews and Russians, the "medical" experiments to castrate trans men... the modern librul is basically a Nazi. 

give or take a few Volkswagens Hitlers dream has been realized with a bunch of apps.

tbh I couldn’t make out a single word of what she was saying in that ad because of her mushmouth

[benji]

[HaughtyFrank]

"half a swastika with her legs" 

[Uncle]

everything being said in both of those ads is literally true 

genes which promote the survival of a species ARE the superior ones, in the literal sense, like if some robin gets a gene mutation that makes it smarter than other robins and that results in it being able to have more sex, it will pass on that gene more often and overtake the stupid robin gene

things can in fact prove better than other things

they never once make the leap to imply imply "and genes that produce white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes are the best ones"

the largest teacher's union in america has decided that future ww2 education should not mention jews, and israel must be taught to have been founded through forced, violent displacement

https://tristardaily.com/national-education-association-nea-2025-handbook-erases-jews-from-the-holocaust/

In an amazing display of anti-Semitism, the National Education Association (NEA), the largest teachers’ union in America, just rewrote history in its 2025 handbook. The NEA is closely aligned with the Democratic Party, which relies heavily on Jewish donors and voters as a key part of its political coalition.

In its 2025 Handbook, the NEA says the Holocaust took the lives of “12 million victims from different faiths” and completely fails to mention Jews despite the fact that at least half of those victims were Jewish.

The NEA claims Israel was founded through “forced, violent displacement” despite the fact that any accurate historical review would completely repudiate that claim.

The NEA handbook makes no mention of 850,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands. In fact, the NEA doesn’t just ignore Jewish suffering tied to the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel; they rewrite the Jewish people as the villains.

the handbook featuring these new guidelines once available in PDF form at NEA's website has been taken down, and they also forced the internet archive to remove the links as well

[Nintex]

Evidently I can no longer find the Asuka 6 million JRE podcast meme to make light of this. The search yields 2 reddit threads and a dozen other pictures. Google mentions results have been removed to comply with European law. Ironically how the Holocaust began.

Luckily I'm creative.

Where's your solidarity for them?

Like all things trans, it means you need to do exactly what they tell you to do, think how they tell you to think, and act how they tell you to act, otherwise you're a transphobic piece of shit and should die.

there's like, a genuine argument that's often aimed at people on the lowest incomes regarding food budgets where it goes along the lines of "why don't you have a more middle class diet instead of mostly eating ready meals and processed foods?" where there are certain preconceptions about having a nice middle class kitchen when people genuinely might only have like, a tiny fridge and a microwave so are limited in how much they can do shit like cook up a big batch of a dish and freeze for later, and how much bulk shopping they can do, etc.

But those people are still spending $40 a week on their food bills and eating lots of struggle meals like pasta with ketchup.

[Uncle]

agreed, I wanted to find a roundabout way to agree with that post because there are valid reasons that poorer people might eat mcdonalds a lot, or the grocery equivalent, frozen dinners (TV dinners)

they just didn't articulate any of those reasons or math that makes any sense

Posts on that forum are completely indistinguishable from Ree. I assume anyone who doesn't drink to Kool-Aid is also met with a hefty ban there?

I must applaud the TRAs for being able to apply their law on so many hobbies forums.
