I don't think cis people can comprehend how radicalising it is to spend any significant portion of your life wanting to not be alive until the solution you find happens to be the same one that western civilization suddenly decides it wants to kill you for taking
Compounding the problem is the fact that a large and profitable industry has arisen around voting, so there’s an army of pundits out there with a financial incentive to exalt voting as the One True Way, despite protest being the cornerstone of every inch of progress this country’s made.
i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this
Honestly, that dismissiveness gives the whole game away. Supposedly the judicial system exists to prevent crime (as the law defines crime). If they don’t think it does that, affects future decisionmaking, then what’s it really for?
(We all know what it’s for, but it’d be nice if they admitted it.)
Unions band together to launch new game industry conference 'by workers, for workers'
Or, hear me out, Minecraft has nothing to do with this and people who've been courting realism at all cost over a proper art direction were wrong all along. We're just wiser to it now that nobody's wowed by graphic fidelity alone.
Gonna be a long time before “clown event still possible” gives up its grip on my brain.
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
WTI crude is up 24% 187 upvotes 64 comments Inevitable-Scheme-38 1h Edited This is what we get for Abraham Lincoln not letting General Sherman absolutely shitface the entire South. This is what we get for letting Southerners vote in the first place. Get ready folks, the best is yet to come! The dumbest people in the US are the ones with all the voting power, yay!!
your average r/stocks poster now has "William T Sherman didn't go far enough" as a baseline, things are going Well for capitalism I see
Bullish signal for canned goods and shotgun shells.
Headline from The Onion, March 26, 2003: “Point/Counterpoint: This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t.”
Economically, legally, politically, sure, that all makes sense--they control the system and the system is rigged. But that brain rot has extended to everything else: geopolitics, climate, infectious disease, computer science, orbital mechanics, thermodynamics… everything. Everything‘s The Onion now.
Ever since Nixon, the US has structured every part of itself to ensure that rich and powerful white men never again experience any consequences whatsoever for anything at all ever again. This has completely cooked their brains, to the point where they can no longer associate cause and effect.
a screenshot of the music video Planet of the Bass, it has a man in a white outfit and angel wings, a woman in a robe and a crown, the caption reads "Women are my favorite guy"
happy international women's day to all my international women

As we all know, Harris critically underperformed in those key bastions of transgender activism Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. /s
Just remember, voters are very easily swayed by random journalists, but are completely immune to any form of persuasion from politicians with prime-time soapboxes. We must scrupulously say nothing negative about Dems so that those Dems are free to “meet voters where they are”.
It’s really a net win for them though, because we as a society have shown we’re more willing to embrace slave labor than we are pollution or copyright infringement. (Not that we’re all that bothered by pollution or copyright infringement either, of course… at least when billionaires do it.)
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
always great to watch some of the most talented creative people around be out here like pls let me know if there's any work I'll do whatever meanwhile some mediocre dipshit just got another 3 billion for his startup marketing piss in a jar as an energy drink
So the thing about being trans is you go from barely existing to loving life and then everyone who isn’t trans wants us to be quiet and polite at best while we’re exploding with the first real joy we’ve ever experienced
So
Anyone who thinks we need to be civil and quiet can fuck all the way off
The image is a meme featuring two people labeled "Leftists" and "DNC" (Democratic National Committee). The "Leftists" person, a woman on the left, is speaking with hand gestures and is captioned saying, "You have 2 years to generate a candidate that doesn't support genocide." The "DNC" person, a man on the right, responds with the caption, "So you're just gonna let Trump win?"
Would have been the shot that launched a thousand GIFs. Heartbreaking loss. 😔
Endorsed. Dickson was the keystone of the Seahawks’ win.

Every trans person who insists on being seen is a living map for those still finding their way.

Swell, I didn’t even know I wanted this and now I am consumed by an aching need for it. 😖
hot tip for other reflexive “sorry”ers who also feel bad when people tell them to stop apologizing so much - swap it for “thank you” instead since people get less weird about thank yous and that’s usually what you actually mean anyway (even if it’s “thank you for not punishing me for existing”)
Average transphobe: we have to ban gender affirming care because they might regret it. My evidence is that I once knew a person who said they were trans and then after I called them slurs, misgendered them, deadnamed them, and abused them for an extended period, they said they weren't trans anymore.
My brain still treats good news like an unattended bag at the airport.
