I sure as shit hope so, given that Gaetz resigned his position in the House, but somehow I suspect he'll still be voted in and that he wasn't going to resign unless he knew beforehand he had the votes for confirmation.
I don't recall feeling overly impressed with content on Mastodon, it's just social media, but with a small userbase, I'm guessing more tech-saavy. I think what ultimately "wins" in the social media space is wherever "everybody" ends up going. Right now, Bluesky seems to have the momentum going for it as people are flocking to it in droves, but it's hard to tell how sustainable it is long-term as the hype settles down. Right now everybody is excited and seems like they're trying to make it a positive, creative, liberal space, but eventually trolls will start invading the space and it'll be like every other social media site unless it's somehow structured in a way as to avoid that.
Those are precisely why I like BlueSky. I don't know if this was normal for twitter or what, but I learned you can search for a hashtag of your kinks (exp. #bigboobs) and you can see porn from people that have posted pics or posts about it. You can also hide other tags from ever showing up in the results, which lets you finetune what you're looking for. I know the search works relatively the same as twitter with respect to hashtags, but was porn on twitter this whole time?
Skim Lemmy and now Bluesky, play solitaire games, watch videos, go for a walk, contemplate the meaninglessness of existence, write, play video games, work (if I'm at work)
I don't have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It's a chat app for work, like it's just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It's whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.
The usage is important, finding a job in a foreign country is much more important than maintaining a protest that most people have probably forgotten about anyways.
X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like "XTruthXSocialX"), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.
TMI warning, but I actually prefer this everytime I fuck now, having my balls cupped and squeezed, it makes sex so much better. It’s just constant stimulation when going for the in-stroke and out-stroke, and then it feels great when nutting.
Unfortunately, it can sometimes depend on the shape of a woman’s body if she can easily do it. If a woman has a dump truck ass, she may not be able to reach around her phat ass to get your balls. I wish there was something I could wear in that situation that felt the same, but I don’t know that a testicle pouch would really do it. Plus, it’d be weird to ask a partner to let me wear it before sex.
Yeah, but that was when he wanted the appearance of respectability and brought in some establishment Republicans who hadn’t drank the koolaid. The people he’s nominating now are loyalists through and through who won’t have any reservations to give in to his worse demands.
I think it might be on the same spectrum as "narcissism", maybe similar underlying psychological mechanisms, but I think there's a line that narcissism crosses when it's to the point of ignoring/degrading everyone else around you. For you, it sounds like it's more about boosting your own self-confidence, not excluding or disregarding others and putting your own self first, like if you were to start putting other people down just to boost your own self-confidence. I think narcissists may have the same sort of self-confidence issue, but how they go about pumping themselves up is what makes them toxic personalities.
Based on what you've described though, it doesn't sound like that's what you're doing. It may come across as arrogant to others, and I think that's what they're conflating with narcissism.
This is the one time I wish we could have a military coup organized by some patriotic generals to arrest the incoming administration, and immediately hold a new set of elections. It won't happen, but it's nice to think about.
