They do this because [even nice and intelligent] women are ~~human~~ horny, and do the very ~~human~~ horny thing of making mistakes and regretting them.

Bad/terrible people can be hot. In fact, often when people are hot they feel more free to be their natural asshole selves because they can get away with it more. This applies to both men and women in all directions.

In fact, some people want their partner to be mean to them, its more often hetero women who like that. If a guy can be mean and get away with it, that implies they're hot shit, extremely confident, rich, and/or powerful. Those are attractive features in a guy.

There are also hetero men who want women to be mean to them, especially in the bedroom.

The difference is that now conventional corporate media has a much weaker effect on people's beliefs now.

Now its corporate social media that is influencing our deep fried brains.

I promise, there are people who are even more dimwitted and still wont budge from MAGA in even the face of this. And the ones breaking from MAGA aren't realizing the obvious, Epstein is interwoven into q-anon and various rightwing cult beliefs. They're just choosing one mythology over another. Even if the mythology surrounding Epstein is closer to reality than MAGA is, they aren't choosing it for that reason. Its all feels over reals.

I say this as someone who doesn't have Obamna Derangement Syndrome: this post is painful boomer slop.

Opposition to Epstein's crimes are far too interwoven into the fabric of the cult-right/q-anon cult's identity and mythos for them to let this go. Its not that they care about children, its that even Trump doesn't supersede the collective rage they're attached too with their belief in a "secret evil cabal" and "deepstate". Protecting children is just a convenient justification for what is mostly just bitter reactionary politics towards a changing world economy or culture. Always has been.

Even if with Epstein they're at least overlapping with the truth (Epstein was a human trafficker and rapist and many who hung out with him were rapists as well), you shouldn't mistake that reactionary rage for an earnest desire to fix things or protect the innocent. They just want a justification to hurt people. They want someone to burn at the stake.

Imagine being scooped up by that thing, never even likely knowing previously what being that high up in the air meant. Being in awe of what you are seeing as you are carried to your doom, only to be horrifically and painfully eaten alive.

Isn't NYC one of the most walkable cities in the US?

That's just a link to the wikipedia page philosophy of solipsism, what specific extreme form of it are you talking about? Is there a name for it?

I've never sent a dick pic and I don't know if my anxiety/insecurity would allow me to send one even if it was requested.

I can't fathom just sending one to a stranger without being asked for it.

Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding...

I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don't your life will be a void and you'll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.

I've been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so... covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again.

When I say to the same degree I'm not saying there aren't people with thousands of games elsewhere. I'm saying there are more of them on Steam and they tend to collect higher amounts of games on average.

Board game enthusiasts don't always have thousands of board games, most console gaming enthusiasts don't have giant walls of games lining their house, etc.

That said, I don't have sources to cite here other than my personal interactions with other steam users on social media and my steam friends list number of games. I could be wrong as this isn't hard data but I'd bet money I'm correct though if there was a way to verify the comparison.
