Seconding this. Genuinely nothing was more effective at killing my brainworms wrt my appearance than going to kink/bdsm events* and just seeing so many people of every body type and every flavor you can imagine all having a great time

*(not swingers, those are different and bad)
I have gone to a lot of stuff like this and a lot of people vary in the looks department, from gorgeous to not so much. But the moment you sit at home saying the problem is that you’re ugly, that’s the ONE repellent that will keep people away. No one wants to be with someone who trashes themselves

I logged into my Fakku account and can confirm the tags “incest,” “tentacles,” “milf,” “loli,” “shota,” and “forced” lead to the following page. The notice regarding payment processing is obviously worrying. I reached out to Jacob to see if he can give any insight. More updates in this thread

The policy in question is a tax break on tips that most tipped workers can access, but that explicitly excludes all SWs, regardless of whether your work is legal or not. It's a sin tax.
So basically the gov will be funded MORE by tipped SWs than by tipped civilians. Sounds like irony to me.

No SWs were consulted in this article on a policy specifically impacting SWs and NO ONE ELSE. Instead they interview...accountants. I'm so tired of the expectation that service providers REPRESENT US 🤬

The Trump admin is systematically firing immigration judges across the country for no reason other their above average grant rates.
The goal is to transform an imperfect system which aimed for fairness into a rubber stamp mill, leaving only the “deportation judges” they want.

BREAKING NYT:
The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

They should know "don't follow illegal orders" for the simpler reason that it's illegal to follow illegal orders. And it's just wrong.
One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

One of the annoying gotchas I finally figured out is why the UK "knife crime" rate is "higher" than the US. If you try to talk about gun crime as a British person, you will inevitably get "but the UK is super dangerous, because knife crime" fallacy. 1/5
