It really sucks you feel that way just existing. I mean that genuinely, and I think you really are touching on something here.

Because women have a similar problem where they are viewed as sexual conquests or objects to be won- just for existing. So you're a little sensitive about noticing if someone sees you as a bad person, and I might be more sensitive on if someone sees me as an object not a person. It really is two sides of the same coin, and we all have more in common with eachother than we have differences.

I am am old lady though and I assure you that your insecurities about women feeling unsafe around you is more about your awareness and not necessarily reality. Frankly harassment and all that crap is just background noise for women IRL anyway so a chill dude who I have a normal interaction with isn't gonna register on my radar regardless of how he looks. I pay way more attention to body language and tone. Thanks for being a good friend to women.

Anyway this all got way off topic and what I originally meant was I just am not surprised men who are PoS in other aspects are into teens and are horrible there too.

Yes thank you. I agree with this, I just posted a knee jerk reaction. I don't literally think all men are pedophiles. I've met so many though that Yeah I won't be shocked at all if some billionaire is another flavor of scum than what it took to be a billionaire like you said.

I'm really sorry I don't mean I go around assuming every (or any) man is a pedophile or capable of it.

Just my lived experience is plenty of "normal" men are unsafe in some way, so when I see any signs I don't brush them off. And the signs aren't basic "likes and get along with children" double standard stuff. I'm not bristling at dad's on playgrounds or uncles with good relationships.

And a 5 year age difference between adults is insignificant. You shouldn't feel any need to defend it

I definitely have some other people's cringe moments living rent free in my mind for years

Aka scrambling

Now that's what I call Facism

I am amazed and shocked every time the line is crossed.

It is crossing it farther and farther as well, with increasing similarities to other authoritarian lead countries in history.

My shock is not one of ignorance but defying normalcy.

However this stuff has been great for people who didn't pay attention much before or believe stuff before. This time the administration is barely trying to sugarcoat what they are doing.

I once wrote in the sex Ed annonymous question box how snakes have sex and the teacher got pissed and threw it away like it was a prank.

I really wanted to know :(

Now I do! Kinda! I know it looks cooler than mamals mating at least

Wow that whole 'we don't have a child starvation problem, we have a child obesity problem' as evidence it doesn't exist.... that's just evil genius levels for political soundbites.

Evil because they are two side of the same coin! And genius deflection because one has physical evidence we all see everyday. Americans are fat and the media publishes articles of how our kids are fat, not how they are hungry. And if you may see that hungry kid you won't know they are hungry if you don't know them.

Frankly his first reply "get a job" is his real truth though.

Space Command, the lawmakers stated, [...] The move “sets our space defense apparatus back years, wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, and hands the advantage to the converging threats of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea,” the delegation wrote.

Ahhh. There's the truth.

This is the type of shit that news should actually talk about if the point was to have informed citizens/voters
