Watching sports is becoming torture because not only are there ads in every pause in play possible (including a new batter walking up???) but more than half of them are trying to convince you to gamble. Like they’re even showing betting odds in the corner during playtime. It’s actually awful.

Between the "Jacob Geller getting a full ass new life and success after sexually violating someone" to "Asha Sharma gave some of your former media peers her personal number" I am feeling a real way about stuff going on in here.

There are evil men everywhere, I'm sure some have been nice to me too! But that doesn't really matter does it? If you recognize evil call it out. Especially if it's a friend man we have to recognize friends aren't exempt from it all. "I didn't think he was serious" brother it can't even be a joke

I have no clue what bubble the men I've been seeing around this week live in but I vividly remember getting several emails about reported SA in dorms around IU during my time on campus. And that's just reported! Imagine how many went unreported at that rate?

one of the reasons why i have become so supportive of more content moderation enforcement and stringent community guidelines on social media is because we have got to stop tolerating people behaving anti socially on the internet it’s an epidemic, we have to start dealing out consequences

Both Ramses and I have received messages ranging from mildly annoying to deeply disturbing. Some people have gone out of their way to find our names and phone numbers. Some of you have told my husband to kill himself.

To anyone who has done that: shame on you. My husband is a father, a son, and a person deeply loved by people who know who he truly is. Our children need their dad. I hope and pray you reflect on what you have written.

it's so interesting (mainly odd) that fortnite releases skins for child characters, like stranger things or kingdom hearts, given the game has like guns and combat and such. Like if Roxas shot me and did Hot to Go with crocs on I think I'd implode.

In school we were always taught about the day, how horrible it was to witness. But none of the adults ever talked about how dumb and violent and evil our response was. It wasn't just 2,977 lives, it was also another 940,000 across Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Pakistan. All for what?

I think it's their rendition of a canes sauce? But I'm not sure why they named it like that. Especially since KFC also had a comeback sauce, which I am now learning at this very moment. I wanna talk to their sauce department

Portillo's did a sauce flight recently and it may be the best thing they've ever done. Like this is what I want, let me be indecisive. Don't limit me in the fast food order of my own creation.

Like I get that Shepard was manufacturing the conflict but who in their right mind let a random ass ranger be a CIA plant in a terrorist cell? And like what was Makarov's goal for the airport attack? Surely the Russian government knew he was there too? Instead they only zeroed in on the CIA agent?

So I've been replaying the og Modern Warfare trilogy campaigns for nostalgia reasons but now I may write up a deep dive on what the hell is going on with the geopolitics of these games. Even just the airport mission is throwing me like how many layers of government authority signed off on that one?
