Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

FTC lady didn't say much except that she would be in touch regarding the site after the case is done

whether it has any value as an asset to be sold I don't know

he was imitating an abe mod challenge, and asked a girl to pose nude but covered in videogames or something to shame the person for a bad thread

when it was pointed out that rather than being humorous, this came across as very very rapey, he rescinded

being a mod is like the least amount of power a person can have (which is why all the stuff in QCS yelling about how the mods are tyrants is really really funny), but its still kinda messed up to use a position of power to make a lady show you her boobs

social power structures on the internet are silly and arbitrary but you still have responsibility to not be a lovely person because most people aren't really good at not taking the internet seriously and you are still a shithead of you take advantage of that

one thing that gets me re: "hipster trends" is what is your current standard of outfit even, like what is "acceptable" even, for 90% of the world its eems to be: please have a boring standard haircut, wear simple shirt and fitting jeans and have no tattoos or piercings. goofy shoes are sometimes allowed.

anything that falls out of line from this super boring way of presenting yourself is bein a hipster

i thought bein a hipster meant thinking ur cool for doing/wearing anachronistic stuff

your perception of whether or not someone is trying very very hard is rarely accurate, sometimes people just live in a weird bubble and lookin like a weirdo is a comfortable way for them to be

but we see pictures of some person looking nonconventional and we project a lot of our insecurities onto that person, like the only way YOU personally would try to look like that would be out of some extreme irony and stuff. the amount of hostility towards other humans who simply dont look a way you are comfortable with is very disconcerting and pretty disgusting and why i turn into a raging care stymie when people on the 'pos enter fashion/hipster chat

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
i don't think that kind of haircut looks weird, it's really goddamn common. it looks bad, which is a different thing entirely

i don't think it's a "hipster" thing, if anything it's the opposite, it's mainstream and terrible instead of being indie and terrible
