here in new zealand we have a product called tigers paw https://www.wetandforget.co.nz/products/tiger-paw which is ludicrously expensive but it does a very good job. i wonder if you could approximate it using a melamine eraser and a scouring cream cleanser. what sort of surface are you trying to clean? glass/tile/plastic/etc?
Shit, something just occurred to me... you (Other white meat guy) must pay an awful lot of rent to live in downtown New York. Those photos can subsidize your rent! If you hurry!
ahh... here's the tact and insight i come to the Something Awful Forums for
three separate “gay friend-making” apps that all probably just use biometric race science and income-based algorithmic sorting to create matches
an assertion based on what? vibes? its a useless kneejerk assumption that all technology is necessarily algorithmically geared towards doing the most harm possible. like do we really think venture capital is interested in an app for gay people to make friends. its paranoia
i think it’s neat to propose solutions to problems you’ve created your empire out of actually. very chic.
who the fuck are we talking about here. does he think that only elite social media executives are allowed to make apps
i have a really hard time imagining a digital queer (read: gay male) world worth saving that isn’t already being preserved on less pretty, less flashy, less buzzwordy web2.0 sites like dudesnude and squirt, which are far more open about their disdain for deviance from sexual preference and sexual preference itself as its main mode of social formation.
ooh he's different~ he's not like the other girls~ he's so much less shallow than your typical gay~ he feels negatively about the gay community~ a phenomenon nobody has ever commented on before~
i just don’t think shirtless mirror selfies of muscular gay guys in the faux-philosopher class of perpetual-academics that mildly redirect money towards hostile community events is anything more than a vanity project. and vanity is fine, but it wields a counter-revolutionary cudgel that renders things uninteresting upon its thud. and the vanity of men, gay or otherwise, remains founded in violent earth.
he thought he was spitting here 😭 stupid ass. polemicising against "vanity" while posting this navelgazing screed
a gay man liberates nothing but himself. loneliness is a gay man’s libidinal economy. pity is an ouroboros. revolution is a full surrender of optics.
soooo true bestie lets all give up and kill ourselves.
and crucially, where gay loneliness is a critical life and death issue in isolated areas lacking population density, these apps are obnoxiously useless.
a couple of hours after putting down the thesaurus and hitting post, he comes back to reality and imparts this pearl of wisdom. very astute. these apps have not solved the literally age old phenomenon of gay isolation in rural places
i dont disagree with his fundamental premise that gay community and connection lives and dies by superficial notions of attractiveness, muscularity, or even wealth. but if you fucking get off instagram and get a fucking hobby it's not hard to find some rudimentary community with the people around you. but instead he's creating a strawman from fucking ads for niche gay social media apps. it's bad enough that he's engaging in the gauche tradition of so many internet morons, which is taking screenshots of ads and posting indignantly about them so that i can't hide them with an ad blocker. i have to read this Special Boy pseudointellectual palaver too. americans!!!!!!!!!!
In May 2026, the White House named Arnell the first Chief Brand Architect of the United States of America, a founding role within the National Design Studio, where he serves alongside U.S. Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia to help implement Executive Order 14338, "Improving Our Nation Through Better Design.".
as a fervent homosexual i dont often condone this type of language but man trump is such a homo. getting into the white house and being like "UGH we HAVE to update the design around here! look at the irs homepage! it's giving 1776 not 2026. its time for a makeover hunty"
