  • I like that the attempt on him last year has him in at least enough fear to implement a backup in case it happens again. At least there's that tiny slice of retribution for being terrible.

  • But it is from the article and therefore relevant.

  • I think it's naive to believe that people aren't naive.

  • I’m not even a gamer and I object to this censorship of consensual sexual content. I don’t support the violence aspect, but these companies are swinging the pendulum way too far. I’ll call my CC company after work to register my (cordial) complaint.

  • Yeah, and most of the ladies leaning on the hoods of expensive sports cars don't own those cars.

    I haven't read most of the books on my shelves because I'm very ambitious about reading. I read a lot, but I buy about twice as many books as I finish because I'm interested in so many topics. I'm just describing how a person portrays themselves, not whether they've read every book, mastered an instrument, or hiked all the best trails.

    Oh, and here's one that I forgot. I never engaged anyone who took a pic in a mirror in a public bathroom. I don't know why people do that. Set your phone on a timer pretty much anywhere else and take a full body pic with a background that's anything else.

  • I already stated that it only happened once at the start of the relationship. I trust my partner completely and she has never second-guessed me since.

  • Perhaps. I think guns are something to be handled with care, not something to enjoy as a hobby. I think sports cars are a waste of money because, realistically, you'll be driving on city streets with speed limits in most cases.

    I have a comfortable sedan because the pan taught me that I can't rely on ride-shares and mass transit in a once-in-a-lifetime (we hope) emergency. I barely drive it. It's a tool. And I don't own guns because I think they're dangerous and I'm prone to bouts of depression (I'm bi-polar). Anyone who thinks these are cool or part of their identity is not someone I want as a life partner. Even without being judgmental about these things, they signal different priorities from my own.

    Now a someone with a full bookshelf in the background is another thing entirely. Or playing musical instruments. Or out in nature. These are things I value.

  • But the question Trump raised is a good one. Indeed, why would someone misrepresent Epstein-related things? And why would a president do so repeatedly like this?

    I can tell you why. Because he was never there. All the photos are fakes. They were fake even in the 90s, before anyone knew that Epstein was a child-predator. When there was no reason to frame Trump, people were already framing him. That's called a long-con!

    I'm being facitious, of course. He was on the plane. They were pals. He wrote and drew the weird bday note. And he likely assaulted children, though that last one is alleged, to be clear. Don't sue me.

  • When I was on dating apps, I specifically filtered out anyone with religious beliefs (other than Buddhists, because they seemed inoffensive to me).

    Got a selfie with a cross on your necklace? Nope. Same for women with photos with guns, anyone with an American flag, and any woman posing leaning against the hood of a sports car. There are telltale signs that we have different values. Honestly, I appreciate your advertising that we aren't compatible and saving me the effort finding out on my own.

  • If my partner could check my location at any time, how would I keep bday and anniversary gifts secret? The places where I go to buy things for her are not places I would normally go. She only has to randomly check one time when I'm at an unusual location for her to ask why and then I have to lie. Not worth it.

    We use temporary sharing (can limit to one hour) when meeting somewhere. Beyond that, it's a potential liability.

    Example: she once got upset that I wanted to go to the mail room (apt building) alone and didn't want her to go with me. She wanted to know what I was hiding. Turned out to be her bday gift and it was just in the commercial packaging with a shipping label. I let her go get it and she's never been suspicious of my motives since (this was at the very start of our relationship and we hadn't established the level of trust that we have now).

    Anyway, again, the one-hour sharing is all we need.

  • When he was the only person to say no, and then claimed "the noes have it," that was the funniest gd thing I've seen all day. Hahahahahaha!

  • Gotcha. Apologies.

  • “I wasn’t even on that plane. And those pictures of me and my boy, Jeff, ahem, I mean, that guy I never met… They were all doctored by the Obama administration back in the 90s. That’s how deep this conspiracy against me runs!”

  • "I'm sure this would be handled just like any other thing they tried to go after like the baseless impeachments, or the baseless special counsels. Or the unbelievable amount of charges they tried to file against the president. I'm sure this will be handled the exact same way," Mullin said. "What we're simply wanting to do here is give [Trump] cover."

    Substitute baseless with warranted and this makes total sense.

  • They've made no secret of their intentions. They intend to eradicate anyone who isn't just like them. If they have their way, they'll get me for being an atheist. But there are a lot of people they'll have to get before that, so it's not like I'm worried for me. But I am worried for my friends and loved ones who are most definitely at risk right now.

  • Do you think I believe that stupid bullshit or do you think I was playing into a stupid trope because it's mildly amusing? If you answered the former, you're not good at being on the internet.

  • They come in threes: Ozzy, Hulk, Chuck. The rest of the celebs are safe. For now.

  • This opinion nails it. The crime is an excuse for violence. Our society mostly accepts that rapists of adult women should be held to account by the law. We might accept (but not condone) the desire to kill someone who raped a family member.

    But a great many see violence as divine retribution for harming a child. And MAGA types have a bloodlust that they feel righteous in aiming at pedophiles. That’s why they thrive on the topic.
