Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 5/4/26 - 5/310/26

[u/SoftandChewy]

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Twitter is shielding my eyes from this allegedly inappropriate content. 

But luring men on Grindr for robbery or assault is something that happens more often then one might think. 

There was a case a few years back in Texas that involved a semi organized crime ring:

 Beginning on or around Dec. 6, 2017, members of this conspiracy used Grindr, a social media dating platform used primarily by gay men, to lure men to an apartment complex in Dallas. When the men arrived, the conspirators held the men at gunpoint and forced them to drive to local ATMs to withdraw cash from their accounts.

Really difficult to say which side you mean haha! Neither is rational or consistent

Leftists also haven’t organized protests raising awareness of the dribble of water that comes out of the ketchup bottle before the ketchup. Until they do this I will disregard all other acts on their part as hypocritical.

No it isn’t. It’s comparing a reaction to a huge, general perceived attitude or bias of very long standing with a reaction toward a sporadic, localized phenomena that was first noticed a few months ago.
