Look, I don’t believe that every republican voter I run into in the real world is a straight up Nazi. Half my family are republicans and, although pretty ignorant and dumb, are generally decent people. That being said, if you are a republican and find the need to defend this or act like it’s not a big deal, you are a literally associating with Nazis. It doesn’t matter what your politics are, the people that you think have your back are literal Nazis.

Just a reminder that Charlie Kirk was right in the middle in terms of age for these “kids” and said all the same things they do in public. He was probably in a similar group chat himself.

As an American adult that is uncut and was also semi bullied back in the day, don’t do it. Let your son decide when it’s his decision to make. Now that I’m in my late twenties I’m glad that I never had it done people generally stop caring as we get older. Eventually the benefits start to outweigh the downsides and most of the downsides are just social and not physical. If anything the physical benefits are amazing. Makes it all extremely more sensitive and makes naughty times way more fun. Something like 3/4 of the nerve endings die in the tip on circumcised men. And when it comes to partners it all comes down to preference, which is always a factor regardless of what your junk looks like. My last girlfriend thought it was fun and really enjoyed it, but I’ve also met someone that didn’t like it because he had a bad experience once.

There are two major reasons why people find it gross. One can be fixed and the other is just unnecessary stigma. The most important advice I’d give is about hygiene. Too many men neglect it and have to learn the hard way that you actually have to clean underneath, that’s where most people get turned off by it. The other reason people are grossed out by it is because they’ve never seen it before because it’s so uncommon. I say be the change you wanna see in the world. Circumcision is slowly falling out of fashion because we are all slowly starting to realise it’s pretty dumb and kind of brutal to do to a kid.

And if it comes to it, it’s a lot easier to remove one than get one back. Let them make the choice.

You’d be surprised how many people actually need that. My boss is one of them and I constantly have to explain to him why shit like this is bad for us. We’re currently in the process of upgrading all our PCs to Windows 11 and I’m trying to convince him to let me install Linux on all the computers that don’t meet the hardware requirements. Fortunately we use an older version of Microsoft Office that doesn’t come with all the bullshit, but there will eventually be a day where we will have to “upgrade” that too. And because of this, I’m also trying to convince him to switch to something like LibreOffice.

Uploading all of our shit to OneDrive is not only a bad idea because we have our own secure servers in house, but it’s also a bad idea because we deal with a lot of files that could get us sued if it was leaked online. We don’t even let our servers connect to the internet for that very purpose. And it’s not a matter of if, but when windows starts uploading all of our shit to OneDrive it will be a complete disaster. And I’m sure there are a lot of guys doing IT at various other companies all trying to explain to their boss the same thing I am while they ignore the issue.

Oh no it’s that thing everyone would say would happen!

So what you are saying is that if I went to ChatGPT and asked super nice what [blank] company secrets were it would know the answer? There would be no way to fact check it, but I do find that incredibly funny.

You are so naive it’s almost impressive.

Alright, then show me your text messages and location data over the past year. If you have nothing to hide then it should be no big deal, right?

No, they’re using the internet in general. Discord is just a platform that they can talk on and it’s fairly easy to use. It’s not like Discord advertises these servers and gets people to join them. What’s really happening is that these people are either seeking out these servers or are being sent invites from people already inside.

My point is that Discord is not the issue. If they crack down on Discord they will just find somewhere else to go. You’d have to control the entire internet in a similar way to Russia or China in order to actually stop it this way. It’s a societal issue that they are trying to solve by censorship instead of actually fixing the underlying issues that push people to extremism. I’m sure the majority of these issues would be solved by a system that actually prioritized mental health and getting people the help they need instead of one that pushes these people out of society because they are “insane.”

Nah, they’re trying to say that he was radicalized by the left based on an anonymous report by one of his supposed friends. You know, the kinda friends he’d have that would 100% lie about that and stay anonymous so people can’t fact check 'em. Or the anonymous person was just someone trying to keep up the momentum and didn’t even know him. Either way they are falling for it.

I have health insurance through work that specifically covers dental and I still had to pay about $900 for two fillings. If I had something serious like needing a root canal I might as well just sell them my kidney.

Yes, it is. Was my word choice poor? Probably, yeah. But I feel like my second comment clears that up. What I should have said was “this seems like it is about trying to honor her but it’s really not.” I apologize if my wording was confusing. In my head I was using “honor” as in honoring someone you respect and was not thinking of the actual official act of honoring someone in the military.

Of course it fucking is and that’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying that they actually don’t give a shit about their base either and will gladly use them just like anyone else to push their bullshit even posthumously. I’m saying that they are not honoring her in the sense that they don’t actually honor her as a person.

They’re not honoring her because they feel like she deserves it, they’re honoring her because it pisses you off and validates their fanboys.

This seems like they are trying to honor a traitor but it’s really not. They don’t give two shits about her or any of their followers. They’re just doing this to piss off everyone on the left while showing their followers that they will be honored if they do the same.

That’s why I just downloaded Wikipedia. I’d take an out of date one rather than an “approved” one.

Google getting rid of all the things that made people want an android phone over an iPhone.

Imagine bribing politicians to get tax breaks as those same politicians start to take more of a cut than the other side would have taxed you. I’m starting to think everyone that is rich and powerful are also incredibly stupid.

Just downloaded it. Thanks my guy.

Already got it downloaded. It’s only like 100 - 150 gigabytes or something like that. Got it on my PC, my laptop, and my external hard drive. I don’t trust the powers that be to keep it intact anymore so I’d rather have my own copy, even if outdated.

I like how every company is pushing to replace programmers with AI yet it can’t even do the job of a receptionist.
