  • Let’s do this with my county, and add in the gay clause!

    So roughly 40k population. Around half are women, so let’s go to 20k. Around 10% are gay/bi/pan so 2000.

    Now 1% of that 2000… I’m looking at roughly 20 people. Of which the odds of them being in my age range, single, and not a meth head, a religious nutjob, or so totally anti religious as to prohibit us interacting is very, very slim. Add into that that I don’t think I could form a bond with someone who doesn’t share left wing, or at least progressive, tendencies… And… Yeah. I need to get the fuck out of this county and into a city, asap!





  • Assuming this actually solves world hunger, and isn’t a fine print scenario like that one comment suggests:

    Pretty much whatever. If it solves the suffering of billions of people, and it actually works, then you have free reign to rip me open. Hell, you can shove a bowling pin up my urethra if it means it’ll solve world hunger. My horrid pain and suffering is not worth the unimaginable pain of millions or billions of other (and trillions and quadrillions when we’re talking about future generations never suffering as we have).

    As Christians we are called to be like Christ, and while I never imagined that this would be scenario in which one suffers for the pain of all, then, yeah, sign me up. But don’t give me a safe word. I’ll back out once the slightest amount of pain starts. Got my consent beforehand, but don’t let me take that consent back. Lol

    That said, if we’re talking “how big a thing can you fit up your ass, if it’s big enough it solves world hunger, but you don’t know that yet, just what’s the max range of your asshole”

    Then, with some training, I could probably go pretty big. I can do 12ish inches with a lot of prep time (talking a couple weeks), and I got pretty brutally fucked with a baseball bat one time, that’s a little over 8 inches and not tapered, so take that for what you will






  • Two things can be true. The Democrats can be an absolute shit show of conservatives masquerading as a party of hope and change. And you absolutely should vote for them instead of republicans, because despite that, they’re still better, and at least they won’t be throwing us all in camps.

    But it doesn’t mean they’re good, or that they can fix any of this shit. It means they’re, at best, a minor stop gap for us to get organized around something better. The Dems aren’t going to save us, they’re corporately controlled and have a vested interest in making sure things don’t improve too much, lest they lose the easiest way to gain money: by being the slightly better alternative to literally fucking dying. Do I wish Kamala had won? Absolutely. Do I think we’d have gotten anything out of a Kamala win? Nope. I think we would have sat stagnate for 4 years at the federal level while republicans continued to chip away at any and everything they could at the state level. But it would have given us 4 years without active decline in the Fed and potentially allowed us to rally behind an actual progressive and build a progressive wing in the Democratic party that could have helped us in the long run.
