Anti-natalism isn't dangerous because it is absurd; it is dangerous because it isn't. It is an ideology that leverages altruistic intent to deny others their most fundamental desire: to live. New essay! Preview and link in the comments.

Currently watching the cancelled 2005 reality show “Playing It Straight”. The premise: 1 woman + 14 men, but some of them are gay. If she picks a straight guy, they each get $500k. But if she picks a gay guy, he wins $1m. Will report back.

There’s a theme song and a dog named Gaydar

Wait it got so homophobic so quickly lmaooooooooooo Damn, 2005 was a time.

“Oh god, I got stuck with the pink room, now other people might think I’m gay” “What if you wake up the next morning and your roommate is naked in bed with you? That’s just not…that crosses a line” “Some people construe baking a cheesecake as gay”

Replying to

Who do I have to pay to bring this show back on the air holy shit

Replying to

I’d say there is at least a 30% chance at this point that the twist is they’re all gay

Replying to

Damn RIP to my boy, Gust, first to get kicked. Your name is fucking stupid but I knew you weren’t gay, just very autistic.

Replying to

Oh good, they are now competing with each other to prove how straight they are by talking about her tits as aggressively as possible lol

Replying to

Jackie has just been told the twist. She is distraught but refuses to elaborate why. She’s just crying lol

Replying to

Oh shit, another straighty bites the dust. The gays stay winning.

I think watching this show is an infohazard btw. My gaydar is getting worse by the minute.

Replying to

“That felt like the kiss of a straight guy, but how would I know?” “Everybody’s gay but me” “Chris, the Kevin Spacey wannabe, he is definitely gay.” God, the quotes are just so good

Replying to

Okay, now Ryan is trying to prove he’s not gay by catching three grapes in his mouth in exchange for a kiss. But like…I’m sorry…but like…

Replying to

Just for some context into the time period during which this was made

Replying to

“If I send home two more straight guys tonight, I get no love and no money” They really just do not make em like this anymore folks

Replying to

Lol so she kicked Ryan off for being a bitch, but it turned out he’s not gay, just metro. And then some dude named Alex who had zero screen time got kicked off and turns out to be gay. That’s all for tonight folks! Tune in next time.

Replying to

Lmao so this was before they banned hard alc from these shows, so one of the guys is intentionally tricking another to take too many tequila shots. And then another guy (Ryan, the grape guy) decided to rip ass right next to the drunk guy. Wtf is this show…

You didn't even mention the confessionals recorded hiding in a closet! "We're all just there, sort of spinning our wheels, trying to top each other."

when my high school gf and i broke up (2nd semester of college, iykyk) i still had access to her tumblr. she chose not to change her handle. she knew i was watching. our breakup was messy, dragged out and weighed down by adolescent idealism, attachment, and fear. there was no

my gf is one of those fascinating people who, through sheer force of competence, seems to get basically any lofty thing she desires which is neat because apparently i am one of those things

My gf is trying to return the costumes we wore last night because they are, technically, in perfect condition (we aren’t that fun anymore) How do I convince her that such actions are in grave violation of the categorical imperative?

Replying to

Wow, I would pay so much money to see this. Surely the tapes exist in some Fox archive basement.

“You can’t be flagrantly homophobic anymore without also being a full reactionary tradcore maga race scientist, because woke”

Real talk, why are ‘fractals’ and ‘recursion’ such potent midwit / ai psychosis attractors? Like, these words don’t even mean anything here, yet some people will treat it with the same revelational reverence as e^iπ + 1 = 0

could consciousness itself be a fractal recursion of God's awareness?

The thing to understand about wokeness, is that as annoying as it may be, it is ultimately borne of prosocial attitudes Suppressing it is fine, but if you try to invert it, the result is straight up evil

Lol yeah that one’s my favorite. My gf and I might quote that for the rest of our lives

This is, in fact, exactly what you would expect given labor supply economics You have to compensate people more to do work that they hate

Asking someone about their ethnic origin is one of the like five essential ways to get to know a stranger. It is also a quintessentially American question. And we demonized it. “But white people never get asked that q!” Idk bro, have you tried? They fucking love that shit.

I never understood why Asian/Indian Americans get so annoyed when they're asked where they're from. It seems like one of those grievances you fabricate for want of grievances. When someone asks me where I'm from, I tell them to guess.

I have yet to read anything written by Curtis Yarvin that suggests the quality of his thoughts are worth the inscrutability of his writing

If the deal was "no federal funds to nyc" in exchange for "nyc residents don't pay federal taxes" I imagine the city would gladly take you up on that, but that's not the offer, is it?

It’s very important to remember that many of the people arguing on this site would absolutely bomb the LSAT

there was this post i saw that said normies use “i think” when they mean “i feel”, while intelligent rat types use “i feel” when they mean “i think” i feel about that post often
