@pw_is_taco1 @AlecStapp This isn't even a EU thing. We don't have *this particular* type of insanity in Germany, for example...
This is fully self-inflicted

@AlecStapp It's funny, for as much as they wanted to leave the EU to regain their freedoms, the UK seems uniquely averse to exercising them
They have parliamentary sovereignty over their courts-- Westminster could just overrule such nonsense, and yet they don't

A UK court said these jobs were "equal" under Equality Act 2010:
Kelsey Piper@KelseyTuoc
for those of you who are unaware, British employment commissions have in the past found that you need to pay people the same salary for *completely different jobs* if one job attracts more men and the other more women. and that this claim can be backdated to bankrupt you.

@_space_punk_ Ah, my mistake was not assuming a jerking off <-> pornography connection
That's just the Jews controlling the media again, innit
English
@christobix Jews trying to control people and ruin their minds via pornography

Not to be too nominative determinist on main but I have been noticing how all the most horrible people on this site seem to have names that extremely check out with their behavior
(This post brought to you by the letter That Time a Guy with the Username Devadatta Was Being Wantonly Cruel to me in a Hell Realm Once and I was like Waaaaaaaait A Minute)

@_space_punk_ Mostly, yes...
I've got hypotheses about the black people thing
Can you en...darken me on the masturbation?
English
@christobix Fucked up thing is I know enough about anti-semitism to know what conspiracy theories all of these are talking about 😭
English
@_space_punk_ I didn't mention TV/music bc they can easily be explained by assuming a "THE JEWS control the media" view -> "consuming media = celebrating Jewish heritage" ig.
Similar with taxes, rents/bills
"THE JEWS want low public safety via crime by blacks specifically" baffles me though
English
@christobix Extremely flattered by the amount of power these people think I have tbh

@ouranometrian2 I'm 6'8. I pick up the 2 year old and the 6 months old in one arm each and talk to the 4 year old while gently bobbing up and down, exercising my quads.
There, solved it
English
New trolly problem just dropped.
You have a 6 month old a 2 year on and a 4 year old.
Dinner needs to be cooked and your husband is at work for the next few hours still.
Everyone is crying. 4 year old is having "big feelings" 2 year old wants to be held, 6 month old wants to be held and is teething but youre too crunchy for Tylenol.
Which kid do we give a complex to about crying?

@Romy_Holland There's also the people who basically try to preemptively defect in their profiles by aggressively venting all their frustrations with the pool of prospective partners with barely concealed rage
English
whenever i see screenshots of ppl’s hinge convos i’m bewildered by how belligerent everyone is. how are so many ppl bickering on hinge within like 12 min of matching? i never once had this experience on a dating app.
i feel like there’s a whole class of ppl who approach dating assuming the other person has bad intentions and then trying to preemptively defect first. i think dating discourse makes this worse.
English
@Romy_Holland I've never heard it put this way before, but preemptive defection is an incredibly accurate description of these kinds of interactions, and also just the stupidest and most unhinged way to approach dating of all things

@ProLifeIVF @webdevMason @NoblestCalling The average gains from screening for traits in the paper (1 inch for height, 2.5 IQ points) are actually the same or higher than what you could get in the example here (selection for a trait vs random 1 of the 4) if these scores were perfectly accurate: 1 inch and 0.75 IQ points
English
@webdevMason @NoblestCalling They are not in fact good at what they’re paid to do.

@eurydicelives @goblinodds @Howlingmutant0 My (Swedish) ex used to joke about Sexy Stalin. Quite a lot, and quite intensely – occasionally the content veered into mild necrophilia
English
ok real question why do women hate edgy humor. i know it's not the estrogen. i know this bc my estradiol is 705pg/mL* right now and i'm still cracking up at @Howlingmutant0's tweets
*the normal range is 15-400pg/mL

i had a conspiracy theory about why every iphone user hates getting texts from android and i finally actually checked it and YES
the contrast ratio between the green and white is lower than the blue and white, which makes green messages genuinely more annoying to read. apple 100% did this on purpose and i kinda respect it

@credistick @hyperdiscogirl Germans use like no salt. It’s wild.
I had dysaunotoma so I put salt in water 🥰 (electrolytes woo) to keep the tachycardia chill
English
i am working up the courage to tell every middle aged woman in my life that "natural sugars" are not significantly better for health than table sugar and sea/pink salt if anything might be worse for you than table salt
English
@goblinodds What often happens:
Woman drops hints of varying subtlety about what she likes ahead of time (here meaning weeks to months ahead of likely occasions; but also applicable to any given day), which is communication => it's honestly my fault if I screw it up or didn't pay attention
English
actually there is a very big difference between someone doing something nice for you bc they like you and are thinking of you and someone doing a favor you specifically requested!
English
something to remember about twitter is that there's a kind of reverse survivorship bias happening where you're always going to see the most dysfunctional people's takes and you're never going to see takes from people who just arent compelled to fight on the internet

@SarahFPoetry @Aella_Girl @wine_018 Something like 22 and 16? Yeah, definitely. I'm German myself, btw
English
English
A 22 year old man dating a 16 year old girl is a predator, no matter how much you may like the man.
A 16 year old girl is unable to consent to a relationship with a grown man.
A 16 year old girl isn’t fast because of the grown man, the man is a predator.
It doesn’t matter what a 16 year old girl is saying, doing, wearing, or alluding to. She is a child, and any grown man who feels they’re being “seduced” by a 16 year old is a predator.
English
@Aella_Girl @wine_018 Not touching the whole "predator" issue, but the "a 16 year old girl is unable to consent to a relationship with a grown man" (depending on what "grown man" means here) is kinda wild & disagrees with the legal opinion of most US states (age of consent 16) and ~all of Europe(≤16)

@gptbrooke @imhinesmi @kramerposts Why tho?
Because it was super obvious in your tone when making the joke that you thought that *of course* it wasn't just for her, that would be ridiculous?
Because otherwise, she was simply, in fact, very hungry. For a very clear biological reason.
English
@imhinesmi @kramerposts Yeah she was sweet about it and just patted her belly (which I hadn’t even noticed) and said she was eating for two
But I was still mortified haha

when a meal serves 2 sometimes I'm like you mean it serves me twice hahaha

@Aella_Girl Hi could I have one please?
PS I'm really glad Azmyth got funded, she deserves good healthcare (as does everyone, and I'm sorry your system requires this kind of thing)

I think i invented the best personality test. Hear me out: 1. Take the word "gargoyle". If you HAD to class them, would gargoyles be more kinky or vanilla? What about more chad or frumpy? Are they more chiller or builder? I had people vote a series of 6 binary questions for every word I could think of, and then ended up with a huge pile of correlated words. Like: If you look at the KINKY, CHAD, CHILL category, you get a bunch of the words that got voted into that same concept. So - what about *you*? Vote *yourself* through the gates, and you'll find yourself landed in a pile of all the other words that got voted the same as you! That's how I got 'the operator'.
