                                         Fortune telling, Ben, that's why they have to use those little flyers for fortune tellers
                                         
                                         to market them.
                                         
                                         they have to use those little flyers for fortune tellers um to market them because um in new york state um i think maybe even specifically in the city you have to be able to prove if you claim
                                         
    
                                         that you can tell the future you have to be able to prove in court that you can tell the future
                                         
                                         yeah or else a bunch of people like did something insane because they got a fortune that predicted

                                         in so much peanut oil that when you immediately after
                                         
    
                                         sucked a guy off his dick trying to get that penis oh no no mid sucking him off okay mid sucking it
                                         
                                         it's his dick turned red and he was immediately like it burns did you well dick's often turn red
                                         
                                         when you're no no but this was like he knew he knew this was like oh my god did you eat
                                         
                                         something spicy and then i was like no i just had chick-fil-a he said oh my god the peanut oil
                                         
                                         he's like fuck he must be so allergic for that to happen yeah that's like so maybe i was warning him
                                         
                                         so you had so you had to call his boyfriend to bring an epi pen home and stab his dick this yeah but the worst
                                         
                                         part is that he was cheating on the boyfriend and he had to immediately explain he was like
                                         
                                         sorry i put peanut butter all over my cocks of the dog
                                         
    
                                         but i felt so bad it was was like a really horrible situation.
                                         
                                         Even though I only had to interact with the wizard.
                                         
                                         I watched him stab the EpiPen and I said, I've done my best.
                                         
                                         You had to stab him in the dick?
                                         
                                         I mean, you stabbed him in the chest.
                                         
                                         You stab him in the chest.
                                         
                                         You don't stab someone in the dick with an EpiPen.
                                         
                                         It's not like a snake bite that you're putting anti-venom in

                                         start from the beginning
                                         
                                         right after you have to get right back to that scene with that wait can we get another misdemeanor
                                         
                                         yeah another misdemeanor um i'm gonna look up public drunkenness let's find out what compounding
                                         
                                         a crime is okay so you make it worse you make it worse again that's something Mr. Bean
                                         
    
                                         would get charged with
                                         
                                         Mr. Bean shows up in Dog Day Afternoon
                                         
                                         and the bank teller dies as a result
                                         
                                         that's what he would get charged with

                                         one? Stalking in the fourth degree.
                                         
    
                                         What's the fourth degree of stalking?
                                         
                                         It's the most annoying degree.
                                         
                                         I mean, I'm probably
                                         
                                         completely wrong about the degrees
                                         
                                         of being meditated in the heat of the moment. I'm sure I'm probably completely wrong about the degrees of being meditated in the heat of the moment.
                                         
                                         I'm sure I'm completely wrong about that.

                                         things he solely does against

                                         Your Honor, permission to suck you off.
                                         
                                         Your Honor, permission to approach the bench. Your Honor, clearly both definitions are the same. Your Honor, permission to suck you off. Your Honor, permission to strut up to that bench.
                                         
                                         Your Honor, I have to object to the line of this questioning.
                                         
                                         This is unfathomable.
                                         
                                         You cannot believe these two fools of a phantom

                                         I love when our courtroom has three lawyers arguing at the same time.
                                         
                                         There's another bench.

                                         I'm scared for Ukraine.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         Well, first of all, they seem tiny.
                                         
                                         Their name begins with a U.
                                         
                                         It's a pretty big country.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, it's land-wise it's big.
                                         
                                         Compared to Russia? Land-wise it's big. Compared to Russia?
                                         
                                         Land-wise, it's big.
                                         
                                         Compared to Russia.
                                         
                                         Well, Chuck, you know only that a vast majority of Russia is not inhabited.
                                         
                                         It's not like there's people living in every nook and cranny of Russia.

                                         I still wasn't respecting their gender.
                                         
                                         Okay.

                                         I'll even be, to my knowledge, the first gender-flu fluid person in federal government leadership but most importantly
                                         
                                         i am going to be responsible for finding solutions to a problem i have dedicated my life to
                                         
                                         that has been stymied for decades stymied i don't well don't ever use a word i can't understand
                                         
                                         the job itself the job itself is not that bad I think people saw that nuclear is in the title
                                         
                                         and kind of jumped the gun to do a whole like,
                                         
                                         oh, drone bombs are queer this time.
                                         
                                         But they're doing nuclear waste management.
                                         
                                         It's not like that.
                                         
    
                                         The position seems fine and mostly functionary.
                                         
                                         They don't seem evil.
                                         
                                         They present very Bond villain. Yes.
                                         
                                         It's very Bond villain. Give him 20, 30 years when this person is in charge of all the stores of still decaying nuclear waste under a fucking mountain in Nevada.

                                         I mean, he's like, he's just basically disabled.
                                         
                                         No, he seems tall.
                                         
                                         Well, there's nothing wrong with being a permanent bottom.
                                         
                                         He seems very tall.

                                         It is the first paragraph.
                                         
                                         In a blatant attempt to promote the controversial idea of advanced diversity in the U.S., the Biden administration recently hired Sam Brighton as the head of the Nuclear Energy Department and fuel and waste disposal. Now Sam is getting a lot of attention on social media,
                                         
                                         not because of his extraordinary expertise in the field.
                                         
                                         No, because of his extra weird habits and sexual fetishes.
                                         
    
                                         Sam Brighton.
                                         
                                         Oh, my God.
                                         
                                         Sam Brighton.
                                         
                                         Wait, it gets even crazier.
                                         
                                         This is the second paragraph.
                                         
                                         Sam Brinton, him, her, them, self, a, gay, is a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ plus community.
                                         
                                         Sam never hesitates to use pronouns such as they and in parentheses they are spelled T-H-E-I-R, which just doesn't make sense.
                                         
                                         sam has been practicing pseudo-scientific therapy before he was imported for the new role where he attempts to change a person's sexual orientation from heterosexual to homosexual and bisexual if
                                         
    
                                         they do not feel the their existing identity this is that's so cool advanced diversity it's like
                                         
                                         advanced diversity diversity in the fourth degree also also legal to commit
                                         
                                         also my this is so fucked up immediately underneath it is a targeted ad and it is
                                         
                                         for four sides of a broken prostate that is not true what is the promoted ad for a broken prostate
                                         
                                         look like it's probably because because the intended audience of that website
                                         
                                         is like 75
                                         
                                         years old or something.
                                         
                                         It's the same image as like doctors hate this
                                         
    
                                         trick.
                                         
                                         I'm telling you right now this is something that I've
                                         
                                         Can you screenshot it?
                                         
                                         I'm screenshotting.
                                         
                                         I'm sitting here right now. This is what they were
                                         
                                         concerned that i had

                                         because people are like these people that are calling him like an abuser or whatever
                                         
    
                                         it all goes back to this op-ed that this guy wrote in 2018 about how he went to gay conversion
                                         
                                         therapy.

                                         New York Times, and that's why people are mad at him.
                                         
                                         What is the op-ed?
                                         
                                         It says, I was tortured
                                         
                                         in gay conversion therapy, and it's still
                                         
                                         legal in 41 states.

                                         is censoring the
                                         
                                         LGBTQ content in Friends

                                         they're also banning Chong Wick
                                         
                                         from appearing in cinemas

                                         For being racist, not queer.
                                         
                                         Not queer, not trans, for being a racist caricature of Chong.
                                         
    
                                         Chong Wick is not racist.

                                         They think Chong Wick is Asian.
                                         
                                         Chong Wick is a mixed race, and that is as far as we'll go.

                                         First sentence.
                                         
                                         Love.
                                         
                                         Um, beyond second life.
                                         
                                         Oh, fuck.

                                         I thought it would end the thing.
                                         
                                         I'll edit around it.
                                         
                                         Sorry, go on.
                                         
    
                                         What the metaverse actually is,
                                         
                                         beyond Second Life all over again.
                                         
                                         I know that when Facebook rebranded as meta back in October,
                                         
                                         there were plenty of good bottom surgery jokes to be made,
                                         
                                         and that's hyperlinked.
                                         
                                         I'm not going to click on it.
                                         
                                         Beautiful.
                                         
                                         And that the metaverse is basically Clubbed by well rip with slightly better graphics
                                         
    
                                         but what i know above all else is that any platform connected to mark zuckerberg's technological
                                         
                                         empire is bound to be an absolute nightmare for queer and trans people case in point horizon world
                                         
                                         and horizon venues two metaowned virtual reality social platforms,
                                         
                                         announced the implementation of a personal boundary feature
                                         
                                         for users last Friday,
                                         
                                         which doesn't sound dystopian at all.
                                         
                                         That doesn't sound dystopian at all.
                                         
                                         It's so dystopian to have a personal boundary.
                                         
    
                                         Personal boundary is essentially a four-foot buffer zone
                                         
                                         around your avatar in either of the VR platforms.
                                         
                                         If someone tries to encroach upon said Personal Boundary,
                                         
                                         the system will halt their forward movement.
                                         
                                         Previously, if users got too close
                                         
                                         and tried to touch your avatar,
                                         
                                         their hands would disappear.
                                         
                                         What could be more immersive
                                         
    
                                         than homophobic and transphobic trolls
                                         
                                         standing a respectful four feet away
                                         
                                         while they harass you?
                                         
                                         So, okay.
                                         
                                         This person really has a lot to complain.
                                         
                                         Yeah, stop complaining about
                                         
                                         you either want to be bullied or you don't.
                                         
                                         Well, they added the personal boundary
                                         
    
                                         space because someone got, quote unquote,
                                         
                                         groped in the letters.
                                         
                                         Yeah, this is...
                                         
                                         It goes on to explain that.
                                         
                                         How does that... Do you have like...
                                         
                                         Is there a sensor that you feel
                                         
                                         your breast being touched if you would honestly if like that's just you're being overdramatic
                                         
                                         if you're an adult and you're on there and you're like yeah someone's oh i'm being digitally
                                         
    
                                         digitally harassed but it's not like yeah but it's not like that's just not the same has no comparison it's
                                         
                                         free pussy come on just also it seems like i like they're saying like case in point there's a person
                                         
                                         there's personal boundaries is not a great thing to put in like the metaverse will suck for queer
                                         
                                         people because it's like part of being queer is violating other people's personal boundaries
                                         
                                         and having and having public sex.
                                         
                                         Also, in the metaverse, I thought that
                                         
                                         there weren't
                                         
                                         renderings of your legs.
                                         
    
                                         They're just
                                         
                                         waist up. There's no legs in the metaverse.
                                         
                                         No, no, no. I think there are.
                                         
                                         I don't think so. I saw a thing where it was
                                         
                                         waist up.
                                         
                                         Can you get a big car in the metaverse?
                                         
                                         I saw a metaverse rave
                                         
                                         and it was um

                                         but being in vr adds another layer that makes the event more intense the post-red not only was i
                                         
                                         groped last night but there were other people
                                         
                                         there who supported this behavior and made me feel isolated in the plaza the virtual environment
                                         
                                         central gathering space again this all happened before horizons was even open to a wider audience
                                         
    
                                         which of course bodes well for the future of the platform and then it goes on to discuss russia conspiracies these people are literally just schizophrenic this these people sound like they're trying to
                                         
                                         make it sound like the online like the the virtual virtual reality rape is worse than
                                         
                                         the normal one okay here's to understand the actual mechanics of it

                                         But it's something you see.
                                         
                                         Another avatar walks up to you and just humps you.

                                         There's no rape button in the metaverse.
                                         
                                         Just take off the headset if it's like that.

                                         It's like you're literally not there.

                                         This person doesn't have object permanence.
                                         
                                         They are a fucking baby.

                                         lives in now.

                                         Yeah, when they took away pornography,
                                         
                                         it broke containment.
                                         
                                         The ending is the real coup de grace of this article.
                                         
                                         So, it says,
                                         
                                         I find it unlikely that
                                         
                                         LGBTQ people will be able to gain
                                         
    
                                         any sort of traction at all. And even
                                         
                                         if we did, I'm sure Metta would once again
                                         
                                         break boundaries by giving us our first
                                         
                                         ever virtual gay bar raid, considering
                                         
                                         that's what they do to LGBTQ
                                         
                                         plus people and sex workers on literally
                                         
                                         every other platform they own.
                                         
                                         I, for one,
                                         
    
                                         will leave throwing the first brick at Stonewall 3D every other platform they own. How can we have this person take that? I, for one,
                                         
                                         will leave throwing the first brick at Stonewall 3D to someone else.
                                         
                                         That's the last sentence.
                                         
                                         That is so melodramatic.
                                         
                                         Stonewall 3D.
                                         
                                         It is so insane.
                                         
                                         As opposed to Stonewall 2D.
                                         
                                         You're just leaving it to someone else.
                                         
    
                                         You're just...

                                         Stonewall 2D is wild, y'all.

                                         it's the most like
                                         
                                         I just want to be a victim.

                                         that the virtual rape is way more important than regular rape or something.
                                         
                                         I don't know.

                                         the metaverse is gonna suck for queer people as an example there's personal boundaries now
                                         
                                         um which is all we need but we need those unless and if we don't i'm going to be assaulted every
