Merit is the worst kind of DEI.

I had been wondering where the other hand was in that little exchange. Guy should put a monocle on for his fucking bio pic. What an absolute douchebag.

I actually thought it was just a rhetorical joke setup. Like, there is no other hand.

But no, he actually blames the woman herself.

On the one hand, men in glass houses have no business throwing stones.

He was wrong for that & should've known better.

On the other, he can't post nudes online as his meal ticket the way you can.

Beauty privilege is as real as financial privilege; partly earned, mostly inherited. As an OF creator, your body is capital.

On top of that, for the past several decades, government rigged hiring & university enrollment in your favor, excluding & impoverishing heterosexual white men in particular.

You are, to some extent, to blame for his poverty, & now you're dunking on a homeless man from a position of historically unprecedented privilege because of a mild barb. You reveal more of your inner ugliness than you likely intend.

Lmao

And broken house glass everywhere. Now you're homeless. Like the dude in the comment chain.

I'm single and I am thinking "I can barely clean after and cook for myself. Imagine if I have kids."

Eh, I'm approaching mid 30s, I kinda feel like I'm dying. I get it.

Just started my 30s; please put me in a coffin.

I'm 26 and feel like I'm dying already, can I just die with a chunk of iron in my lungs and the blood of a fed on my hands already.

They're joking...

Not to leonardo dicaprio

Once you pass 18 you're officially old, and there's no turning back

A good number of us on the fediverse are autistic so nuance doesn’t alway get parsed properly.

Literacy has basically never been worse

Yeah, took me awhile to adjust from reddit where the default is sarcasm. You gotta remember where you are, neurodivergency abounds on the Fediverse.

He’s dating a twenty-seven year old right now because his PR team told him to.

I finally feel like an adult but I think that's less to do with my age and far more to do with my family, career and financial status. Physically I'm in far better shape now than I was a decade ago, so I've got that going for me at least!

Yeah idk, I'm 35 and I've felt like a teenager trapped in a slowly decaying meat prison since I was like... 17 maybe? Even as I graduated, got a job, got married, started a family... Every step it was just like "Surely this is where I finally start to feel like a real Grown-Up," and every time it just doesn't change. I still feel like a stupid teenager pretending to be an adult. One that does an alright job pretending mind you, but I still feel like I'm just pretending even after this long.
