damn is lit and low-key really out of date now?

Oh christ we’re already referencing pop-culture of the 2010s, help me I don’t like this aging thing.

cool

needs more bets and caps, right?
- Comment on Disturbingly accurate 8 months ago:
I just tend to associate this style with right-wingers, so I distance myself a bit.

Nah, buddy, by all means please proceed with your singular anecdotes extrapolating how terrible these people are — got this, champ ;)
- Comment on Hmmm... 9 months ago:
Nah, just a blanket generalization from an anecdotal sample of one. But keep going with your great detective work about, “knowing a girl.”
- Comment on Hmmm... 9 months ago:
Yep and this is the guy sarcastically going, “Great detective work!” to everyone else lmao.
- Comment on Fake news, fake penis... 9 months ago:
I just chuckled. That people are focusing in on the background for what is a “serious interview,” that in itself is weird.

It’s only taboo because of conservative evangelism, really. Like the difference in how the US vs Europe perceives sex vs. violence.

Okay hear me out. Sauerkraut. Don’t get the canned stuff; get the refrigerated sauerkraut as that’s hugely beneficial to your gut. I find snacking on a bit of that satiates my snacking drive in the evening.

You know what’s so sad about something like this?
The conservative seeing this will opt to blame the individual. This conservative will most frequently espouse themselves to be a Christian nonetheless. “Jesus-like” in aspirations and idolatry.
And yet, they’ll have the knee-jerk reaction to this image that is saying, “Well they put themselves in that position.”
“It wasn’t the happenstance of birth locations,.”
“It wasn’t the culmination of external forces and externalities building to this moment.”
“It wasn’t the fact that their life was harder than my own.”
“Or perhaps my life was hard and I’m using the survivor-bias fallacy to justify kicking the ladder out from under me.”
The conservative believes there are lesser people who deserve what they get coming. It’s seemingly incomprehensible to them that we humans are quite literally of the same species, and that you must come to the conclusion one of two possibilities: Either (1) We are all a blank slate from the start and thus products of our environment. Nurture comprising the vast majority of what influences us. Which means those left out on the streets; those who take drugs in an ideal state of mind don’t want to be there, but are already too far broken from past experiences to reconcile their immediate choices (and need saved; protected; rehabilitated by the same outside forces that put them there in the fist place). Or (2) It is genetic, which means there is a predisposition incompatible with the inherently-flawed system we’ve built for ourselves. They’re a circle in a square system, and it’s thus just the same not their choice. And so again, the system should adapt and accommodate them just the same to promote a healthier society overall.
THAT would be more Jesus-like. Not the lazy cop-out that casts them off as degenerates. Such people lack empathy and cannot comprehend the bigger picture.

Fake Plastic Cheese, good radiohead song.
I admit growing up pretty poor, these were considered a treat lol.

Ah the, “I’ll have a diet coke with this Big Mag, Cheesecake bites, large French Fries” mindset.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years 1 year ago:
Honestly, this blows. WordPad fills a niche between a full blown text editor and notepad. Most of my random daily notes use WordPad still when not OneNote.
- Comment on YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead 1 year ago:
Because most are.
Now I know the new trendy thing is for gun lobbyists and right-wing operatives online to stoke the division by pitching guns to the left. I know the intent is to profit from a wider market while simultaneously muddying the waters of who is the most violent ideological group.
… And some ground is being made with this vector, but it’s still nowhere close to comparable.
