Topix is ostensibly a message board for cities ranging from New York city to lovely towns with about 400 residents. Whenever I go to my friends house in the middle of nowhere, we spend all night looking at gossip on it.

My internet is down and I don't know how to link things on my phone, but Google whatever small town you can think of. I guarantee it's filled with racism, gossip and a shocking amount of belligerence.

quote:

I plan to vote for Wendy because her plan makes common sense to me. She simply advocates that we spend money to buy birth control pills for all women to keep them from getting knocked up. It’s unrealistic and even inhumane to think that girls won’t have sex. I had my first piece of rear end at age 14 and couldn’t get enough after that. I began to look for any fanny I could find to tap. If we don’t buy the pills for the girls, we’ll be stuck once she gets pregnant. In that scenario we either fork over hundred of dollars for an abortion or we have to fund the little bastard for the next 20 years through welfare, food stamps and Medicaid. So all you complainers need to wake up and smell the coffee – do you want to pay a few dollars for the birth control up front or hundreds of dollars to kill it after she gets pregnant or tens of thousands to pay for the kid through high school? Vote Wendy and everyone will be happy.

Philly Mag’s November cover package highlighted the pretzels that local companies are twisting themselves into to attract and keep younger workers. Forget about a salary and some health insurance. Kids today want “hardwood floors, greenery and sunlight,” gourmet staff breakfasts, “nap rooms,” ping-pong tables, slides, rooftop lounges and beer on tap.

I keep getting Rolling Stone in my feed as a sponsored page and for some reason it's the link is always to a two-year-old slideshow article of things millennials supposedly have never heard of. The image is usually either the show "Dinosaurs," which is from the 90s, or a goddamned floppy disk, which I was using in middle school all the way back in 2005.

She starts the article with "As a boomer", so a sense of entitlement is guaranteed. gently caress boomers.

And while we're mocking a generation for being misguided about ages, let's forget Boomers told us not trust anyone over 30.

The owner of a game store back near my college has joined in on the Powerball fun (not blacking out his name because this is obviously meant to be shared):



In the past, he's also stated his strong support for Donald Trump, complained about "bleeding heart liberals", and unironically used the phrase "All Lives Matter". I guess, if all else fails, it's free advertising.

So, Tested.com made a podcast on YouTube today, and instead of one of their usual hosts, they had on Rebecca Watson. For those who don't know, she's an outspoken feminist on YouTube, and usually opines about gender issues, rape culture, Gamergate, stuff like that. The podcast never has any heavy topics on, just nerdy stuff, movies they've seen, modelling projects, etc. Today they talked about Jessica Jones and how they all loved the show, and David Bowie. Harmless, right?



MRAs were crawling out of the woodwork to stomp their feet and scream about feminism taking over their beloved male only nerd show.

Also, late to the party but I could read an entire thread about angry nerds throwing tantrums about how their sacred interests are being taken over and ruined by other people becoming interested in them. :allears:
