  • Dude, I have heard that terrorists breathe. Do you breathe? You may want to check yourself, buddy!

    I’m just really surprised by some of the people I have heard say these things about Signal because one is a family member who works in politics and is otherwise really smart and with it. I think the next time we see one another I want to ask him about it because I’m really curious about what he thinks and why he thinks that way. My own experience with Signal has been wonderful. I have only had one chat request from either a scammer or a bot and that’s nothing compared to the weird shit I would experience on Facebook, youtube and reddit sometimes. Facebook especially was weird at one point. I would suddenly have people on my friends list I didn’t know at all and whom I had no memory of adding. Same with subscriptions to random channels on youtube and constant chat requests from bots on reddit. By that measure, I think Signal is pretty solid in comparison.

    The way the media portrays this current goof almost makes it sound like Signal is a dangerous app to use, when it’s literally the actions of one asshole who went through all the steps of adding the wrong person. There is no way you’re gonna do that by mistake. I downloaded the app so I could keep in contact with my best friend when I left facebook. We live in vastly different countries and don’t have each other’s phone numbers so it was a bit of an awkward dance back and forth immediately after we downloaded the app and tried to figure out how the fuck you add each other.

    If more noobs like me used the app and understood the basics of what it is, they too would realize a few things about this “accident”.


  • I’ve heard a few people try and demonize Signal even before this goofy situation by claiming terrorists use it to plan attacks and I’m just sat over here like: yeah? Terrorists have also used youtube, Facebook, Twitter, discord and every other platform under the sun to organize and recruit to their groups.

    And now there’s this blunder (?) And somehow Signal is bad for the decisions other people make on the app? Which btw, I don’t believe for a second that that was an accident. You will have to actually make an effort to add someone to a chat who doesn’t belong there.

    And I’m sorry, but I think the comment is pretty funny. I dunno. Maybe I’m just completely morally bankrupt or missing the bigger picture, but every negative thing I have heard people say about Signal is just bizarre. I genuinely don’t understand what the issue is.

    Need I remind anyone of how ISIS used Facebook and messenger in 2018 to post brutal execution videos of two scandinavian girls around Christmas and sending that shit to everyone on the girls’ friends lists? As much as I hate Facebook I wouldn’t dream of blaming them for some subhuman scum abusing their service for nefarious reasons.


  • Adam was made from clay. Eve was made from Adam’s rib and had the audacity to eat some goofy apple. As punishment, all women were doomed to be in horrible pain during childbirth and since they were made from Adam’s rib, they are also a man’s property. Religion is so kind to us, lol.

    That’s one of the many reasons why I am a bigger fan of science. It makes more sense and is impartial. If anything, the laws of nature is brutally indifferent to who or what you are and will fuck you over or bless you at random. I can deal with that.


  • Female specimen bleeds once a month and is plagued by hormonal fuckery that makes life unbearable at times. Emotional regulation: hahaha fuck you. Physical discomfort: yessir. Terrible pain from cramps, hormonal migraines and other such hormone related pains: amazing. Acne, oily hair, skin, smelly sweat and bloatedness when hormones go brrrrr: cool.

    Vag-hole too small to squeeze out baby head and will often rip open. If unlucky, female specimen will bleed to death after giving birth, leaving baby without protection and food source. Female specimen only has a very small window to procreate and is most fertile when her brain is the least developed post puberty. When her brain is finally catching up in maturity, her body is starting to regress in fertility and getting pregnant is now a risk to her and the baby. Is somehow blamed and often punished for her biology literally fucking with her from the age of 9 to menopause.

    I would fucking love if my biggest problem was that my reproductive organs were dangling between my legs and got a bit hot once in awhile.


  • I don’t live in the US either. I actually live in Denmark and while we have free healthcare, it doesn’t cover everything. I think they changed it in recent years so that youths would be able to get free therapy, but when I was young, there wasn’t any of that. You could get 10 sessions with a therapist and pay less thanks to insurance, but after those ten sessions it was full price if you wanted to keep the same therapist and I couldn’t afford that at the time. I ended up having to change therapists every ten sessions and by the end I was worse off mentally than before I started. Hence why i say that therapy is a luxury for the rich. It still is today if you are over a certain age. I could probably afford therapy if I really needed it, but it would still be expensive and with how things are going in the world, I would probably not spend money on a therapist anytime soon unless it was a life or death situation.

    I’m glad therapy is free in your country though. Where do you live?


  • I completely agree with you. I dunno who this alexnroberto guy is but based on a 2 second search, he comes off as one of those manosphere dudes so I guess we can assume that his comment isn’t based on mutual support, but only the woman supporting the man. I disagree with that world view, but if the message stood alone, I don’t see the issue in partners leaning on one another instead of going to therapy for every little thing that’s wrong in their lives.

    Be like going to the dentist to have him brush and floss your teeth for you.

    There is also this one uncomfortable truth that the therapy crowd doesn’t really want to acknowledge and that is that therapy is a luxury for the rich. Telling someone to go to therapy is actually pretty rude because not everyone can afford to throw thousands at therapy no matter how much or how little they need it.

    I speak from experience. Therapy, if you are poor, can do more harm than good.





  • There have been protests in every single state for awhile now. At least that is what I have heard through the grapevine. I’m Danish so I haven’t seen the protests with my own two eyes, but I have seen pictures, read posts and talked to Americans who are out protesting. From what I have been told, it is unheard of that there are protests for the same cause in all 50 states at the same time. It is historic, but I’m not surprised that the greatest president who ever lived wouldn’t want that information to slip out in the media. It would hurt his fee-fees bigly.



  • I never claimed otherwise. I’m just tired that this 92 meme is using outdated language (or numbers rather) to make a point that may have been reasonable to make in the 1800s, but not today. Doesn’t mean our number system is any less retarded today. If anything, I’m just adding on to the fact that Danes are notoriously lazy with the Danish language and will cut corners with all words and sentences the same way Americans cut corners when they chop everybody’s name up into bite sized nicknames. For us, though, it’s more like slurring at the end of a word and flat out ignoring letters that are very clearly there in the word.

    Woe is the poor asshole who decides to immigrate here and attempts to learn the cancerous gargle that is our language.

    That said, it is still the best language to curse in and when used in poetry, it can be downright majestic.

    But yeah, our curses are superior to all words in the English language.

    My favourite for life will always be kræftedme = cancer eat me - usually uttered in a sentence to underline how pissed off you are and how serious you are about being pissed off.


  • More like 2 and half fives. Half five is our word for 90. So in essence we say 2 and 90 but the word 90 is half five.

    80 is fours

    70 is half fours

    60 is threes

    50 is half threes

    40 is forty

    30 is thirty

    20 is twenty

    10 is ten.

    Oh and a 100 is a hundred. So I dunno what happened between 50 and 90, but I’m sure there is a funny story behind that somewhere.





  • Ah the whataboutism. I have run into that one too when I argue against recreational drugs. Pro drug users always always always bring up alcohol and everytime I’m like "yes, alcohol sucks too and I would ideally see it phased out of society instead of adding weed and cocaine etc to the legality club. And then they start their blabbering about how restrictions just makes the black market boom and yadda yadda and you shouldn’t have any restrictions because criminals will win, then. But I’m still like: yeah, but making accessibility easier will also not benefit society.

    It’s the same discussion as it is with guns. They never want to actually talk about the issues, but would rather deflect and focus the discussion in on topics that has less and less and less to do with the original point. Ignore all your arguments and declare themselves the winner of the discussion because they feel they successfully won against their own strawman argument instead of actually trying to engage in the conversation.


  • I have always thought you could make that point with something like a knife. It is a tool made to assist in chores. You can use the knife to feed your family or kill your family. The knife is just a knife.

    But a gun is specifically designed to kill. There is literally no other purpose for the gun. You can’t use it in a kitchen. You can’t use it to carve tools. Its only use it to take life.

    That’s why the guns don’t kill people mantra rings endlessly hollow to me.
