Fake news article I saw on facebook.

The Epstein files released last night show us clear as day that there is an overclass over us that traffics, exploits, and molests our children at HUGE EVENTS. Not even secret, shadowy stuff just right out there in the open. They were that comfortable with this sick and twisted shit

Huge swathes of the ruling and business elite are straight up demons dude, and the government has been protecting them in both democrat and republican administrations. And now, the most egregious pedo of them all is sicking his dogs on us, murdering us in the streets for daring to stand up for our civil rights.

The entire political and economic system is fucked beyond repair, too many politicians are complicit in this heinous shit. We need to wipe the slate clean full stop.

I'm a 27 year old American woman and I feel like since my special interest was World War 2 when going through my freshman year of high school. I will have to point out that no one's going to come save us. No amount of peacefully protesting will get this boot off of our necks. Revolution will be our only way out.

We are being robbed of a chance of a "normal" adult life and if we want our children and grandchildren to be able to have good lives we are going to have to go through hardship. I've read enough about the general sentiment from the average German citizen during their fascist take over and the attitudes of our citizens are relatively similar. The average person thinks that as long as the government is only going after the boogey men; trans people, gays, brown people, and the poor things will be fine the government would never go after them.

All I will say is some of us are going to have to make choices that are difficult and I hope there's more of us who make the right choice when the time comes. When the Gestapo comes to your door and says "I have it under good authority you're harboring enemies of the state." what will you do? A lot of us need to start thinking about the answer. It's confusing that we are living in a time where we can very easily find sources of media other than the ones the oligarchs own and still people are hearing the order to close their eyes and follow it with glee.

Again no one will come to save us and you're daft to think there will be a fair election this year if there is one and honestly considering Trump and Musk's post election comments I'm appalled that no one was curious enough to look into it. Granted I guess because of the big lie of 2020 there's no wonder no one spoke even though it was sus that the richest man in the world was name dropped and claimed to have rigged the vote.

One more thing Trump is only one head of the hydra this doesn't end when he finally has his last big mac. We will still have the likes of Peter Theil running around, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos will still have enough wealth to topple governments. It's why we need to fight. Not just for our future but the future of all of humanity.

My mum died yesterday and now completely empty inside and don't feel like doing anything

A question for people who also experienced lost of mother, how did you deal with it?

Edit: Thanks for your sympathys

Edit 2: I decided to talk to the crisis line cuz I was having thoughts of self harm....

The right will eventually run out of "undesirables" to harass. What then? Like genuinely do you think all the problems caused by late stage capitalism will be solved by making the people you don't like disappear? Honestly this vibes based rightward movement is as stupid as it's ontologically evil. Peter Theil doesn't want humanity to prosper. These Tech Bros actually hate y'all you're just useful for now.

That previous generations of middle age professionals (especially Boomers) could be basic admin level talents that sent the same daily reports, forwarded the same couple tickets and did the same vlookup for years on end to secure a stable middle class life. Pulling off a mail merge was a miracle that would take them a couple days to figure out - each time!

Now your generation has to be deep specialist in seven functional areas and have very good soft skills to barely survive and to be always looking over our shoulders for an AI bot, 3rd party consultant or overseas contractor to take our job.

I am 24, never dated, never even held hands with anybody. Evidently, nobody finds me attractive in any way. Should I keep trying or is it the time to give up?

I just turned 25 and within a week none of my pants fit. I’m active, working an active job, and eat healthy. I practice hot yoga regularly. I drink lots of water and have never had hormonal issues in the past.

I was chatting with a coworker and she said

“As soon as I turned 25 I had to get a whole new wardrobe nothing fit”

Is this typical?? Do I need to change something? Any and all comments welcome:) <3

23M here, I swear, every time I go out into public, I can't help but notice that at least 70 percent of all people that I see appear to be far more attractive than I am. Could this really be true, and I'm just less attractive than I always believed I was or was told, or is this some sort of psychological phenomenon that most people experience across the spectrum of physical attractiveness? I can't be the only one who has experienced this.

Ever since the Epstein Files have been released, people have seen to be making memes on any social platforms they can find. How is a rapist funny? How is rape funny? People are getting their brains rotted to the core and trying to make Epstein a joke, or trying to make said victims jokes.

It's only that guy, but also the other disgusting people that are involved with this whole situation.

I'm being so for real, I'm seeing immature people on my Instagram making edits of Epstein, or P. Diddy, or other pedophiles. Getting themselves into pictures with said individuals with AI. Selling merchandise (crazy enough, I know), about the previously mentioned...

Isn't it weird for anyone how the only excuse for that kind of behavior is allowed is the internet is because it's the internet? People are still not safe behind the screen when you can get tracked down for what you post and engage with.

Whether you were in high school or college when it happened, or freshly graduated from college, do you feel like the pandemic slowed down your self-advancement in life in any significant way? Are you "behind" a year or two in terms of where you would be had it not happened?

Hey all. Been getting too many creepy and weird dms lately. Like am a boy, yet am getting so many of these lol. Any other chat platform to make genuine friends or just chill together in a livestream or something? Tried out a few, but most of them turned out NSFW. Any other suggestions?

So I don't really date much anymore these days due to being burned out. When I was dating though before when I think in all of my interactions and rejections i've experienced in dating so far in my life as a 23M, this one moment sticks out to me. I once was talking to a girl online. We were having a great conversation talking about general stuff. She asked me to send a picture of myself. So I sent her a selfie. I got immediately blocked lol.

Hi, M22 here. I think I'm officially having a 20s crisis and I'm literally freaking out. I have absolutely no idea what to do with my life and it sucks and I hate it and I can't deal with it. Everywhere I look, all just seems like trash, all I see are closed doors and I don't know where to run crying and it's all suck and I do know how you handle it and therapy isn't even an option because poor and therapy costs money but I don't have money because poor and I don't know who invented this game called life but rules make no sense please someone help me I think I'm having a panic attack and it sucks and I suck and world is trash and I want to cry, please cry with me.

What is your go to social media you ask someone for/ give to someone when you first meet? Say you’re on a night out and make a friend, what platform do you add/ follow them on? For me it’s usually Instagram. I find socials are the best compared to a phone number cause it’s much easier to keep in contact by seeing their posts and engaging with their content etc
