This kind of explanation work is so immensely time-consuming and people who are putting out 15 simultaneous fires just don't have the capacity to do it, plus the psychological barrier of "why should I explain when it will be taken in the worst faith possible no matter what" is huge

Extremely relevant numbers! (And this is *low traffic* by modern standards.)

an interesting note re: scaling image moderation. in the past 24 hours:

at least 500 thousand images in posts (not considering # of images, just if an image was in the post)
86 thousand avatars
500 thousand url thumbnails
58 thousand videos.

that's a lot to moderate!

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

there is really nothing like the stress of extra inning playoff baseball in the rest of sports

for instance, other sports actually finish their games

I left for two hours and come back to find everything is apparently the world's longest baseball game and nothing hurts?

Good vibes are good?

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Right, exactly. You do get people who will be like "So why can't trans men just be GNC women, then?" or, alternately, judge trans folks for being literally anything other than the most feminine femme or the most masc dudely bro. But being GNC itself is just genderfuck, basically.
