RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

I mean I get people feelings. My thing is several things happened I don't like. An person died. It was an extrajudicial killing. It happened while peacefully publicly speaking. However I can't say a good man died. The things people say online is also peaceful public speaking in the sense its comparable to the public speaking of the guy who died. By his own standards he called for not having empathy, accepting gun deaths as the price of the second amendment, and having families and children be witness to executions. So I get it. Its not how I want things done but I get the online sentiment. Don't want to see it though rather read about it. I mean I feel that way with most news but if I do want to witness video Its not see horrible things.
