  It’s the .world censoring. I can see the slur from my instance.

  Nah, it checks out for Tumblr

  Oh no, I recently cleaned out my fridge. You win?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly Bizarre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. Eggs are delicious. Swords at dawn?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly Bizarre⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shrimps and lobsters shells are made of chitin. Mushrooms are also made of chitin. Coincidence?

  I’d argue they’re less of an abomination than the “salad” that requires jello and cottage cheese

  Don’t we all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it. My first introduction to FOSS was getting insulted by people for not knowing about FOSS, and it really put me off of things. It was made abundantly clear to me that only smart people know about Linux, and if I didn’t know about Linux, I was too stupid to run Linux and needed to stick to Windows like the loser I was.

  So I stuck to Windows because I’d rather be a loser than an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC, Yahweh evolved out of El, who they considered the best god of the Canaanite pantheon.

  The Old Testament starts making more sense when you realize that there were other gods in the pantheon at one point. Like all the whining about Ashera is because she was El’s ex.

  Maybe when they throw their poo at you, they’re simply trying to share their superior gut biome

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has InZoi been better than the Sims in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was hyped for it’s release earlier, but now that it’s not out of early access yet and they’re already releasing DLC, I think I’ll give it a pass.

  Baby orb weavers are yellow with a black dot on their butt. Not terrifying at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I welcome them in. I don’t have screens on my windows, so in the summer, flies get in. The spiders are why I don’t have a fly problem.

  Calling Evangalion ‘unhinged’ might be the understatement of the century

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say remote working less productive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When you work at the office you need to dress up, take proper care of yourself, walk around and step by a cafe.

  I don’t think I’ve ever had a job that paid well enough for me to do any of that tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Evolution doesn’t quite work like that. Traits aren’t always selected for/against, we have a ton of traits that we’re ambivalent enough about to pass on, like eye color and ear hair. It’s neither advantageous or disadvantageous, people are just horny enough that it doesn’t matter and gets passed on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Unattractive” is highly culturally specific though. Ear hair is so strongly correlated with testosterone levels, there’s gotta be some people that think it’s virile and attractive.

  My partner is in his 40s and they didn’t have electricity until they moved to the mainland for middle school. There are still large parts of the world that don’t have electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone fact check this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did we read the same comment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No kidding. I was raised by Tea Partiers, and moving left really needs to be made easier. I’m pretty sure the only reason I made it is because I’m privileged enough to be literate, and that’s exactly why the right has been axing public education since before I was born.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t see that one group losing rights meant that they didn’t have rights either.

  This is one of the areas that made me realize I was to the left of liberals. Too many people telling me to calm down, it won’t affect me, I’m a white woman, stop being dramatic. Like, bitch, I was raised in a red state, I know that being white won’t protect me when they come after women. Just like how being white and male won’t protect you when they come for the lower class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it. There’s a nickname only my estranged family uses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I go by my middle name and nobody thinks it’s weird.

  How do we know it’s an accurate illustration? They might have jacked up the trolley with monster truck wheels or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts about responsibility⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My whole point is that we really can’t blame individuals for being irresponsible when we’ve set up an entire society that punishes responsible behavior and rewards recklessness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True staple of the format⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially these days, when disinformation is freely accessible, and facts are behind paywalls.

  I can find a million conflicting articles about what a study says, or I can pay out the nose for access to the actual study, for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True staple of the format⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I lowkey think the website Let Me Google That For You was part of a psyop making people think search algorithms are the superior option for obtaining new information, and therefore leaving people vulnerable to how algorithms have been manipulated to push disinformation.
