Do you hate your bank? Go find a bank you like.

In theory this is non-harmful. In practice this is part of a fantasy escalation ladder that leads bad places. Your actions are led by your thoughts, and you are the thoughts you feed. In reality it’s a good thing to not feed thoughts of abusing children.

I’d note that I’d be similarly uncomfortable with people buying hyper-realistic dolls to practice amateur torture on, but I’m ok with people buying silicone dolls to practice tattoo art and wound stitching on. The difference being intent, which is a line I’m equally unhappy with the government drawing. Someone slicing up a slab of silicone shaped like a baby because they have a desperate desire to hurt babies that they are actively feeding into is bad. Someone practicing stitching up silicone babies after injuries because they always wanted to be a doctor and never got the chance is healthier and fine. It’s the “what are you feeding with this action?” Problem of governance.

Jesus fucking wept that’s gross

Thank you for this. Like, I heard a bit about this but set it aside as “to be researched later” without realizing how far along the stupidity had gotten.

I really really really like MS Paint. I’m trying to like gimp, but I liked MS Paint a lot.

I also miss the smoothness of excel. I love libre office too but Microsoft just has more money to sand off the rough bits.

Does that negate the fact that she’s being abused? I don’t disagree, but victims often stay with powerful abusers.

Do you genuinely believe Melania has always consented without duress to what Donald does?

But think of the $uffering you would endure and how much you could make them cough up afterwards!

The lawsuits would be SO MUCH FUN though.

Better still. Cis women with strong jawlines should dress like they’re men in drag, and go looking for bathrooms. Then absolutely freak out and make a huge scene in public when they get challenged.

I probably just need to buy a fair phone at this point.

The thing that kills me about this whole shitshow is this.

You have women working for an incredibly powerful, wealthy. charismatic, connected, bullying man. If she goes along with him she will be ok but if she steps out of line she will lose everything, maybe even be killed. It will be absolutely unimaginably horrific. She has no friends but the ones who are friends with this man, no support besides what this man allows. She is dependent on him for everything. She gets credible death threats from enemies. She derives power from her association with him and takes some pride in surviving the shit that has come her way.

Now. Obviously I am describing a woman being abused here. But am I describing Bondi or the Epstein victims?

Bondi doesn’t see her own abuse. And that’s the saddest part of all of this to me. She looks down on these women, thinks she’s better than them. She’s just like them. Just as used, just as disposable.
