@imadeatwitteer@SussexHenryVIII I don’t think OP was directly making any commentary on this, they were just pointing out a very real and terrible thing that has happened.
One person said “look at their whimsy”
Another said “yes, because whimsical tractor riding TOTALLY captures the essence of this discourse”
this kind of shit is so out of touch when we have children growing up in foster care, and/or abject poverty
and that’s without considering that it’s just bullshit anyways

@alissawu@thomashobohm The problem is that many of them are “shooting their shot” but intentionally doing so at someone who is like significantly younger
The line between “guys who are younger (20-30) coincide with more attractive features” and “I’m into guys who are way younger than me” is THIN
@alissawu@thomashobohm Agreed. An age gap can be generally dicey but not unreasonable.
But far too often I’ll have guys twice my age messaging me and I could genuinely pass as a high schooler. There’s grey area yeah, but there’s also a point where you gotta pack it up and acknowledge the line

I have to remind myself about good things
Apparently people competing in Indianapolis are dealing with spotty internet, no working bathrooms, and Wolfe Glick running straight bullshit as a roaming boss encounter
@BussyKeaton guys in general are pretty affection starved.

@splitbycomma I want to see one of these freak overachiever tech kids have a bizarre hyperfixation to humanize themselves
show me your gnome collection. wear a FUN pair of shoes. embrace some whimsy.
@roc_inacio I say this every time but Kya is like 60 and very skinny/not very sturdy, fighting someone who is rapid-fire flinging ice rocks at her, doesn’t matter how cracked she is, she’s 60!!!! she can’t move like the youngins!!!!
no one talks about this it’s all about power scaling BS
Genuinely what is the AI-obsession with using the word “quietly” even in circumstances where it really isn’t warranted.
Anytime I read a post that *could* be AI, it always uses the word “quietly”
there’s other tells but I usually don’t even need them!!
I work at a bridal consignment shop where we sell secondhand wedding dresses.
Last week, a young woman came in completely alone.
No friends. No mom. No champagne.
She found a dress she absolutely loved.
It was $400.
She quietly placed $200 on the counter and asked if she could put it on layaway because she was trying to save little by little after her fiancé recently lost his job.
I looked at the tag and remembered the original owner had been trying to sell that dress for months.
At one point she even told me:
“I honestly just want it out of my closet.”
So I pretended to check the computer and then said:
