It is a lot different nowadays. Generally speaking yes, it’s still considered a dick move to just out someone before they’re ready. But that’s not what this is. In this case it’s less about the “Being Gay” as it is about Grindr generally being something these conservative family members are doing behind their wives’ backs while also being openly homophobic.

idk, this might just be me being ace and not understanding the tribulations of people that actually have a desire to have sex. But as a trans person who has been in the closet, I can’t imagine going on Grindr if I was gay but still living with conservative parents and closeted. That feels like a risk I’d be way too scared to take.
I’m also always down to use my experience being closeted against bigots. As has at least 90% of gay men I’ve known. Like yeah, making my identity/sexuality The Joke feels bad. But I feel like when that joke is being played specifically on a bigot a lot of us get a lot of catharsis from it. Cuz at that point the joke isn’t “Being gay is bad” it’s “Welcome to the family cousin Jed” and the punchline is their freaking out about it.
idk I’m kinda rambling now. I just feel like it’s different because in a lot of these cases it is the queer kids that were closeted and made fun of that are saying “Wouldn’t it be funny if we turned it around on them for once?”
Yes it does. The notification noise is actually linked in a couple of other comments in this thread. I’m ace so I’ve never used the app personally but it’s rather distinctive to at least my ear and unlike any notification noise I’ve ever heard in a default Android environment. idk about Apple, but after hearing the noise myself I 100% believe that anyone who has used that app for any appreciable amount of time would absolutely recognize that notification noise immediately.
Someone clearly hasn’t seen the video of him interacting with Guliani in drag. Dude loves musicals, was a TV star for years, and his most notable personality trait is being a catty bitch. There’s 1,000% a world where that zesty ass MF did that shit
There is of course also an extremely boring world where that email was just Epstein’s brother making a joke because Trump and Clinton used to be close and that’s all it is. This is the Least Funny Timeline and I hope we don’t live here.
No, it’s only communism when the Demonrats do it you silly goat. Common mistake.
Yuuup. Couple of them were retiring, a few of them aren’t up until '28, a couple of them aren’t up until 20-fucking-30! But yeah, the more I think about it the more the only thing that make sense is that Schumer was getting worried that Thune was close to caving on the filibuster.
I think that limp dick offer Schumer made the other day was probably lobbyist money stuff. But I think that the full on caving was about protecting the filibuster.
Yeah, much harder to do their little “Revolving Door Villain” Strategy when all it takes is a simple majority to do anything. Not impossible mind you, but definitely much harder.
I can almost guarantee you at this point that it was either the air travel lobby, or dems being worried that Trump might actually be able to whip the votes to nuke the filibuster. Leaning more towards the filibuster at this moment.
In my mind it was 100% either pressure from the air travel lobby, or because they thought Trump might actually get the votes to nuke the filibuster.
The ones that voted are either A) Retiring, or B) Not up for Reelection in '26, yes.
They almost certainly did this either under pressure from the air travel lobby to not let this disrupt the thanksgiving air travel season, or because they were actually worried that Trump was going to get enough votes to nuke the filibuster.
How many times you gonna link that one article in the same chain my guy? Hell, this is the second time you’ve linked it to me personally.
I’ll believe that this isn’t them selectively releasing some funds to certain states while waiting for their chance to file for a stay of the order when my fucking SNAP gets paid and I can feed my kids. You do not in fact have to hand it to them.
idk how much I believe it considering he’s reportedly still looking to block the order so at best he’s trying to quickly pay out some red states before appeal or something.
idk last I heard he was still trying to defy that court order so I’ll believe it when I fucking see it
Some states were able to use some state funds to pay some SNAP recipients. My family hasn’t gotten anything at all in NY state.
He’s probably trying to use it as some code for taxes that the chuds won’t freak out about. If it’s just a tariff, then it can be negotiated and exceptions can be made or something.
I didn’t used to have problems with this before I started having an on again off again situation with hemorrhoids. Now I’ve gotta be very choosy about what establishments I shit in lest I end up doing my best dramatic reenactment of when my partner still had a uterus.
I wouldn’t call it healthy if the reason that you notice you haven’t eaten is because you’re shaking due to low blood sugar because the last thing you ate was like a pop tart at 6am and it’s now 10pm.
I don’t even know what’s coming. Sometimes I just look up and it’s been 16 hours since I last ate anything and I simply must C O N S U M E
I’m not saying that he said it was all a joke. I’m saying that the possibility of it all being a joke would be the Least Funny Timeline and that I hope we don’t live in the Least Funny Timeline.
