"minor attracted person" = pedophile. They're a bit more brazen these days, the shits.

The wordie words that then bait and beg

Gets from me a big Neg :).

I have notice this too- disappointing with Rappoport- I’ve been reading his essays for many years. The’ ideaus’ interruptus is not worth my attention. :)

The Rappoport on Substack seemed to be a ghostwriter from the beginning. I am grateful for Jon's original articles; they were some of the first that opened my eyes...

Good points all - but my personal definitions of freedom preclude me from paying to read someone who presumes to offer me either a "freedom test" or to help me define what a woman is. Here on SubStack most of us with any alternative viewpoints are being shadow banned - or worse. If what seems to be a Silicone Valley Corporation, acts like a Silicon Valley corporation, I think we have a clue.

That's the idea: NOT paying proves that you are free! :)

Guess my ability to engage with irony is being challenged. I need an irony test!

I got an irony test yesterday from Chudov, but I always default to sarcasm that can be subtle enough to go unnoticed. :)

Just posted one. For all of those like me who are ironically challenged.

Thank you for making me laugh! The test also demonstrates the futility of tests, which is, may I say, ironic? :)

With maybe the one test we are all being subjected to currently. Think I am having trouble laughing today.
