I hate to say it, but this feels like an unfortunate personal experience being overgeneralized. Friend groups can be incredible. They can also be what OP describes, and rightfully calls out given how toxic those situations are, but decrying the concept of the friend group attributes the problem far too broadly.

It’s just lazy rage bait engagement farming

From the River to the Sea. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

What is the point of engagement farming when there’s no algorithm or monetization?

Instead of “it is what it is” try saying “The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.”

Speaking of Halloween those shorts are giving Rocky (from the Rocky Horror Picture Show)

This was a triumph…

they get the zoomies whenever mercury is in retrograde

What is with this community getting bombarded by the doofus brigade? Y’all just keep getting downvoted anyways…

Yeah I’m not totally buying this one… Porn can be part of a healthy sex life. I don’t think it’s different than any other activity that provides dopamine: amazing in moderation, harmful in excess.

Meanwhile an overwhelming majority of bathroom goers are like, “whatever, I’ve got nothing to hide”

I love Kirby and it looks like it could be quite good but I’m maintaining my Switch 2 boycott slash I can’t afford one anyways so like with Pokopia it’s emulation or bust.

Just doing some quick napkin math, the $5k payouts would cost around $1.25 trillion, pretty much guarantee at least 4 more years of no Medicare for All, and lead to absolutely no systemic change. M4A is estimated to cost anywhere from $2.5-$3 trillion per year. So yeah, he’s almost certainly lying but also even if not it’s a huge bargain for the oligarch class.

The “marketplace of ideas” in action.

Also, in my opinion, Tumblr losing basically every single raid war they got into with 4chan around 2012-2013 has a lot to do with the state of social media today.

Tits or GTFO except now anon is POTUS.
