Are Masochists Exempt From The Golden Rule?

Spiderman: No Way Home

This is perhaps the most convoluted attempt at a pure fan service curtain call I have ever witnessed. We could’ve skipped this entire thing and gone straight into Symbiote Spidey and his Venom saga were in not for old men in suits. 

I applaud Euphoria showrunners for giving Chloe Cherry a job. Now is the time to destigmatize sex workers, but also make rent more affordable.

Approaching 40, realizing dodging every tattoo trend of the last 20 years is my greatest life accomplishment thus far.

The fraternity hashtag brings up the expected, but each photo is also hashtagged with alpha. What a joke. These are college aged children that haven't made their way in life, most have never even taken care of their most basic economic needs without mommy and daddy's help. Boys aren't alpha, men are. Finish your education and prove you can take care of yourself and your family in the real world, only then can you call yourself alpha.

It has come to my attention that the entire management class of the USA is pushing thwir employees for more office presence, more business travel, more in person meetings, less work from home, less paid time off, less sick leave, less maternal and paternal leave. What would happen if they all disappeared? Nothing. They don't do the work, they don't put themselves at risk, all they do is EXIST and LEECH off those doing the work while cavorting happily in their little management class social circles.

When following old friends you don't see or speak to IRL anymore, Facebook seems to accelerate time when it comes to the "cycle of grief". The newsfeed is literally "lost a spouse, grieving publicly, back in love, remarried", all in the same day.

So, hello. I'm using my platform here now to inform about what's happening in my country. I'm from Cali, Colombia. The city that's been burning for 5 days now and being massacred by its own government.

We need your help to spread awareness on this. As of yet, there hasn't been a lot of international news coverage about it, and our own news are too biased in favor of the government to be of any help.

How did it all start?

On April 28, a national strike was called for people to raise their voices against a tax and health reforms proposed by president Iván Duque, during an economic and social crisis exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic.

Among other things, this reform wanted to tax us for funeral services (during a pandemic). They also wanted to increase the price of food and water, when most of the population has a salary that does not allow a family to live with dignity. Moreover, another nefastous health reform has yet to be taken down.

But the response of the national government to these protests has been to deploy military forces against the civilian population. A violent, disproportionate, and arbitrary action that incurs in serious human rights violations. My city, Santiago de Cali, has been one of the most affected places. During the night hours of the last few days, in different areas of the city, the police and the mobile anti-riot squad (ESMAD) have burst into peaceful demonstrations attacking with firearms, tear gas, and leaving a balance of dead and wounded that has not yet been counted. They have also captured many demonstrators, some of whose whereabouts are unknown.

My state is threatening the lives of the Colombian population in full view of the world. Please, don't let them silence us!
