It seems pretty concerning from a 2026 perspective that society went nuts lusting over a 16yo.

11 years ago, a 16-year-old kid was bagging groceries at a supermarket when a customer took his photo without him knowing and posted it online. Alex Lee started his shift on 2 November 2014 with 144 Twitter followers. By the time his mum picked him up from work that evening, he had 100,000. By the next morning, 300,000. His phone number was leaked and the notifications crashed it completely. Within days, #AlexFromTarget was the number one trending topic on the platform. Girls showed up at his store in groups. A man offered his co-workers a hundred dollars to find out where he was. His manager moved him to the stockroom to finish his shift. His family’s personal and financial records were leaked online. His girlfriend, who he’d met in chemistry class two weeks earlier, started receiving threats from strangers. He appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, was flown across the country for appearances, and eventually had to leave school because of it all. The day he turned 18 he moved cities to try to build a career in social media. He hated it. One manager took control of his accounts. Another allegedly stole over $30,000 from him. He fired them both and quit the internet entirely. He’s 27 now. Lives with his girlfriend, loads trucks at a delivery depot in the mornings, and has no public social media presence. In 2024 he said the job pays less but he’s a lot happier. “I never wanted to be ‘Alex from Target.’ Absolutely not.”

@CartoonsHateHer Most of the poly groups I have met have been 1 woman and 2 or 3 men. The men are usually nice but seem a little "off".
English
Frankly, we need a few women to take one for the team and amass a polycule of incels
Caitlin Flanagan@CaitlinPacific
I notice that women tend to outnumber men in these polycules - which is how polygamy always works.

@SpamJohnso70416 @TheGrandZero I couldn't imagine Primus being from anywhere other than California.
English
@TheGrandZero Funny because Primus, who youd also think is from the south is from the el cerrito area too
English
I still find it funny that not one single member of CCR was from the southern United States. Every one of them was born and raised in the El Cerrito area of San Francisco. Literally Californian college yuppies larping as southerners. Weird, huh?

This song was written in 20 minutes of pure rage after hearing how a senator got his son out of the draft for Vietnam...

@RealDianeYap Yes if you’re senile enough to mix up the pedals to the point where you manslaughter a family you should be euthanized.

Heather Knight@hknightsf
Nobody disputes that Mary Lau was driving 75 miles per hour on San Francisco streets when she struck and killed an entire family. On Friday, a judge is expected to give her probation. After that, she could get her license back. The case raises the question, what is justice?

Toddlers instinctively know what foods are the healthiest to eat. If you want to heal your gut eat like a toddler. Bananas and French fries. Grapes are also ok but only if you cut them in half.
English
@Empty_America A lot of those parents would consider this an additional benefit.
English
If you are trying to get your kid diagnosed with a learning disability and get an "IEP" in order to have test accommodations, you may want to consider that this is generally disqualifying for military service.
So you delete some of the leading options for actual free college!

Today being an anglophile is a little quirky, but have we already forgotten the era of Tumblr Anglophilia?
From about 2010 to 2015, many young men and nearly every young woman in America was fixated on Bri'ish culture. Union Jack profile pictures, SuperWhoLock fandom peak, etc.

Sorry but a burrito is not authentic unless it has french fries in it and you bought it at a place with a name that ends in "berto".

notice how they don’t put lettuce, sour cream, or weird ass yellow cheese in there? EXACTLY!

@Empty_America Thanks to you tube videos you no longer need a dad to teach you how to do things. This weekend I installed some LVP flooring did my dad teach me? No, the only things he taught me were how to open a beer bottle off of a table and to spend more money than you make.
English
Probably not.
Honestly I get the sense that many younger posters on here don't *have* a father.
Or they may have been estranged from an early age.
We talk about "fatherless" behavior in women, but there is an equally clear version in males.

Young men today can't change a tire. Ok, and did their dads try to teach them how?

@theRafoel @lisatomic5 The result would be the same as a more mobile sperm from the same man.
English
@lisatomic5 I am a man and I also react negatively.
Something is... deeply, instinctually wrong with this. That sperm is unable to perform it's only biological function. It is a failed specimen. And you use it to create a human anyway. What could be result of that?
English
the response to this post is fascinating, nearly all women reacting uniformly negatively

@realAAAbbott @Empty_America Wild. My uncles only ever got workmans comp for falling off of ladders.
English
@GaperClam @Empty_America Go check workmen comp rates. I would probably say it’s top 5 to 10.
English
First thing we skills test for is "can you run a cordless drill".
98% of guys under 35 in fact cannot. They can't run a cordless drill properly, safely.
You aren't going to learn to be a plumber or electrician in 2 years because you don't even know enough to change a tire.
English
@realAAAbbott @Empty_America I can understand them stripping screws, dropping the self tappers, putting holes in the wrong place, etc. But I can't imagine how anyone can unintentionally injure themself with a cordless drill.
English
Probably deserves its own thread, but basically we have them drill a hole with a bit, a hole saw, and then we give them like 10 self tappers to thread into a 18 gauge aluminum panel.
98% of them cannot do it without almost seriously injuring themselves.
This isn’t just a skills gap. It’s a Grand Canyon.

@RealDianeYap Babies are fine they don't cause too many problems until they're about 2 or 3. Dogs are only ok if they're well behaved. Gays no longer bother me now that I'm no longer in my 20's.
English
Problems?
At a cafe or restaurant, gays and dogs make my experience more enjoyable. Babies make it worse.
This is the correct policy for a good time.

@lymanstoneky To connect a campground to a 800 person town? There is already a walking path they can take.

@TheronC @Daractenus @JayinKyiv We’re not allowed to import haggis or maggot cheese. Two of Europe’s most delicious foods!
English
@Daractenus @JayinKyiv Shall we do a list of European foods banned in the USA?
English
In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵

@uncle_deluge In Portland Oregon there is a type of public drinking fountain called a Benson Bubbler no other drinking fountains are referred to as bubblers. Implies that there was once a time they said bubbler there.

@RZ_GreatLakes @amazingmap All for what. To save an hour on a drive from Fresno to Vegas?
English
@amazingmap It would make sense to bore a 20' mile tunnel somewhere close as then you could connect to 95 and run South into Vegas. Future project for the Boring company.

Walked past a gay bar in Portland OR on my way to a coffee shop and it had AI art on an event promo flyer. Even the libs are AI infested now.
