Nah if you read it it's definitely still the onion

I got the impression they skipped the hello world cause it was too easy and they wanted to get right to writing their app, so they moved on to more advanced stuff without having a real grasp of the basics

Not really. It just means onlyfans pays more than Spotify... which seems obvious to me??? A direct subscription to an artist vs only a few cents per play... yeah, no brainer, the artist is going to make less money in the latter deal.

Kawasaki did toy pianos does that count

They're mostly owned by match, including tinder. So I wouldn't trust them either personally.

I once, without looking, accidentally fondled a guy's chemo port thinking it was an abnormally large and oddly placed nipple 😳 fuck you for reminding me

Lmao if you project any harder you'll go blind.

As a woman I occasionally get praised for being naturally thin, but it's almost always from a place of insecurity on the part of the person praising me so it still doesn't exactly feel good.

dude, your argument about women denigrating men is based on women complaining about men denigrating women in exactly the same way. You stand up for what you see as the losing side, just as they do, but your argument is on the same grounds. You're no better than they are. And that's not me taking sides, that's just what this argument boils down to.

Perhaps picking your battles and searching for the root of your beliefs, so you can express something meaningful without coming off like a raging sexist (their words, not mine), would make it a lot easier to broach this topic with your liberal community in a more rational manner. People are going to criticize you, that's part of having beliefs, but presumably there are other things on which you agree with these people, meaning there must be a common foundation between your ideas which stands up to criticism and can be a means to a mutually beneficial end.

I didn't link a video lol and your own political circles revolving around intersectionalism does not mean that is all there is; I think there's been a lot of manipulation in the media to make it center of mind because it gets clicks and serves to distract; but if you want that badly to be conservative and make judgement calls on people individually that extend to their entire sex instead of holding more nuanced opinions about issues that can be solved systemically then go for it, I can't stop you.

Identity politics coding is everywhere, and on some level I need to "pick a side".

No, you don't. That's what I've been telling you. Who cares if it's niche. It's better than giving up on all your other values and saying you're conservative or "more" conservative than liberal just so you can bicker about which sex is more oppressed than the other. Maybe you'll be the person that makes someone else see the light if you do the work to better contextualize what you're trying to say, and then your ideology is that slight amount less niche.

Right, and what I'm saying is that disagreeing with liberals does not make you more conservative than them. You can be further left than liberals, or even aligned with them, and choose not partake in identity politics at all or only do so from a broader context. For example, you may instead advocate to fix the things that those identity politics and division are often a symptom of.

Per delduthling - It's very possible to be a fully fledged socialist demanding structural economic change who also recognizes that oppression on the basis of race, gender, and sexuality are intertwined with capitalist power structures. The project of "woke capitalism" can never make good on its promises of liberation.

I found this to be a pretty thoughtful article on the topic, Meet the Anti-Woke Left

But I relent. Perhaps you mean more conservative on a personal or sexual level that you wouldn't try to enforce on others. A level entirely separate from your politics. That kind of self determination would still be an ideal of the left though imo; you have the right to choose your own lifestyle as long as it doesn't cause harm to others.

Look, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you. I recognize that I do not have all the answers and I think it's both damaging and a waste of time to bicker about who or what is and isn't "sexist".

All I'm saying is that liberalism and the left are not the same thing or even really all that amenable to each other, and identity politics are largely a distraction from more important issues. There's a whole Wikipedia article that sums up various criticisms of it from a few different perspectives.

You are right, liberals are wrong about a lot of things and easily fall for ploys which only serve to divide us from each other. Choosing not to associate with liberals or to have more nuanced opinions in the face of their bickering does not mean that you have to be conservative or that conservatism is the only other thing left on the table. It's a false dichotomy.
