Barbarians.
If you want to know why I’m an atheist.
What kind of entity has 3 different sects of people who all believe this is what it wants?
Religion is a cancer.
This whole shit storm has been about one thing. Putins legacy as the czar that reformed the USSR. That’s it. He wants to lift the iron curtain high once more. It’s all dick stroking by a madman.

Why hasn’t the cancer killed the mother fucker already?
This child was not Hamas. The ambulance was not Hamas.
If anyone should understand the horrors of genocide it’s the Jewish people. This is the same level of nightmare the world watched in horror in the 1940s.
This is madness.
Already have had 2 and due for my third. I’m 49 with a looooonnnggg history of bowel issues.
Get those colonoscopies folks, you don’t want to die of embarrassment.
My father and maternal grand father both got colon cancer around the same time, both got treatment and went into remission.
Both went out of remission around the same time (well, dad came out of remission and grampa got leukemia from radiation therapy) they both died 2 months apart.
Lucky me has a risk of colon cancer from both sides. Yay.
Personal experience.
From personal experience about 80% of the harassment I recieve is from straight white american males, not kids either, many times they’re middle aged. There are some females in the mix, rarely people of colour but there have been a few.
If I were to guess I would imagine it’s because women and people of colour also belong to vulnerable communities and run the risk of attracting the wrong type of attention and becoming targets themselves.
Not every white american male is a troll or violent obviously but since 2015 the ones who are continue to become active threats.
Honestly I see them almost as victims themselves. No troll, stalker, mass shooter, etc started out that way. They became radicalized online by getting wrapped up in online activities they were not emotionally nor intellectually equipped to handle.
An example is the Christchurch massacre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_mosque_shootings
He didn’t start out as a mass murderer, he was radicalized online in places like 8chan. He even posted on 8chan that they needed to keep an eye on Christchurch because something big was going to happen.
It’s not just americans and it’s not just white males but so many get caught up in the culture of trolling that there are going to be those who become fundamentally damaged by the continued activity to the point that they take it too far and sometimes that leads to things like mass shootings, or swatting, stalking or other criminal behaviour.
I just started a few days ago and already had to deal with a transphobic troll. Online is so toxic that I’m afraid eventually all social media platforms end up on trolls radar and they seek to destroy them. It’s a shame because they ruin social media for everyone including themselves.
So many people lack a basic sense decency that they actually think it’s ok to cause harm to other people simply for their own amusement. It’s usually straight white american males too.
It’s only -11⁰c here in southwestern Ontario and I currently have my window cracked open. I run hot.
So far can’t complain about the winter, it didn’t start to snow until the second week of January so that’s a huge plus. Did catch up with us but considering what winters are usually like here l can’t complain too much.
I had been on reddit since 2008, I was looking for an alternative to the message boards I belonged to after the popularity of Facebook killed them off. I really enjoyed it, not the same level of community that you find in a message board but still good for conversation.
Then trump happened and it turned to shit. It’s so fucking toxic and I ended up getting banned for defending myself. Apparently fascism is good and standing up for yourself goes against community standards.
I’m a disabled 49 year old just looking for conversation. Facebook is also a toxic wasteland now. To say I miss myspace is an understatement but there’s hardly anyone there anymore.
I’m happy whenever I find a place that’s put the social back into social media because antisocial media is just trash.
Every time I tell you what I think of you it gets deleted. So I’ll just say see you next Tuesday.
