If the argument for women should know better than to go into a rape den like a frat house, explain to me why a rape house like a fraternity is allowed to exist at all.

A news report just described Israel as "being caught up in heightened conflict" and my eyes almost rolled out of my head. You spelled "committing genocide and killing children" a bit wrong lads.

Is Trump actually dying? He’s literally rotting by the day. If the US rapepedocans lose heavily during the mid terms then that might just be gg for old dumpy Trump.

there is nothing that the british public will be more enthusiastic about than making life shitter for someone that they think has it too easy - not out of a sense of solidarity, not because it helps them personally, but just cos they want everyone else brought down to their own miserable level

in the UK we used to have a thing called "youth clubs" which were generally funded by the local authority and teenagers could just go there and hang out and play pool and there'd be a handful of relatively chill adults around to make sure noone stabbed each other, of course that's all gone now

A lot don’t, in my opinion. They fall in love with him, they like having sex with them. But LIKE them? Want to spend time with them? Appreciate the things they like and the way they think and their perspectives? Nope.

I can officially say that 2026, especially since turning 40 a few weeks ago, has been the worst year of my life to date. I wouldn't wish the hell of my family's current situation on anyone. It's hard to see any kind of light at the end of the tunnel right now.

I just turned 40 a week ago, but nothing has ever made me feel more like a child than watching both my parents struggle. This is the shitty part of adulthood that no one warns you about. The people I normally turn to for comfort are the reason I need that comfort in the first place.

I would give anything to go back to pre April this year when life wasn't totally consumed by hospitals and cancer and home no longer feeling like a safe space thanks to constant visits from nurses and carers. I didn't realise how much I valued my old mundane life till I lost it.

Thinking heavily of 9/11 today. Of those killed at the time, of those who have died since from side effects of the disaster, and of the thousands of innocents in the Middle East killed by the US response. The world has truly never been the same and I don't think we've fully processed it even now.
