So my daily existence as a human being is sexually explicit.
Bruh, I am asexual. The only one here who’s horny is you.

Ex-Mormon here.
Mormons like to brag that their kids are healthier and smarter because their mothers are guaranteed to have had no exposure to alcohol or secondhand smoke.
Because of this, there is such a deep culture of shame around even drinking coffee or tea, because it breaks the health code of the religion. It’s treated with the same severity as eating pork if you’re Jewish or Muslim. No, not everyone does it. But the few who do will go to every length possible to hide it. I met a dude who used to call out sick and wear sunglasses and a wig when he bought caffeine pills at the grocery store. His wife divorced him over that.
If he does have FAS, I would bet you $100 right now that the only one who would know would be his mom, and she’ll take that shit to her grave.

I’d want to chat with someone from the future. I want to know if we’ll make it. If we’ll be alright.

You know, I respect people who use their religion as an impetus to make the world a better place. The civil rights fighters and humanitarian groups that are like, “Hey, our religion tells us that suffering is something we can prevent and alleviate, so we do it.” I like those religious people.
These are NOT those religious people. Therefore, fuck this interpretation of Islam a thousand ways, this is the 21st god damn century.
- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 1 week ago:
Thank you for mentioning this. I don’t even have that set of equipment, and it boggles my mind that this is normal and acceptable to anyone. Even using religion as a reason just seems ridiculous. Why the hell would you ever cause that much physical pain to a child for a cosmetic procedure?
“Oh, they’re transing the kids!” Fucker, you asked your doctor to cut off part of your son’s junk before he even developed the capacity to lift his own head. Shut the fuck up.

Fuck, man, doing this to an adult is heinous. Doing it to a child? I’m not typically a violent person. But I’d kill them.

Seems like you know what you’re talking about. If I may ask, how do ferrite beads figure into this? Do those actually help protect signal, or is it less effective?

I know there’s an implication here. But I can’t be arsed to figure it out.
She’s a teenager. She’s gonna be comparing her body to what she sees on TV and discussing it with her friends and peers. Like literally every other teenage girl I have ever met. You and the two fascist assholes you screengrabbed clearly aren’t her friends or her peers. Fuck off.

I love broccoli florets. The stems, I can take 'em or leave 'em. I’ve certainly eaten worse things than thick, fresh, healthy broccoli. Brocs 4 life!

I used to boil them before I fed them to my snails.
I miss my mystery snails. They were little weird alien water bunnies, and I loved them.

Pear Launcher is nice. Fossify Home is good, too. I prefer Pear since it lets you use icon themes.

I gotta wonder how long it took the photographer to set up this photo. I mean, they were probably sitting there with a little paintbrush gently sweeping away dirt from the roots just to get the perfect root exposure for this pic.

Add it to the list of reasons I’m disgusted with my country, and disgusted with myself for ever being proud of it.

Comparing the audience garnered by corporate media vs unethical independent media vs ethical independent media, America functionally does not actually have a free press. Take it from someone who had to stare down the barrel of a camera and get blasted on live TV for doing the right thing.

I’ve been meaning to learn how to sabotage the pump to get the ads to not even play. It’s on the list of anarchist things to do.

Literally though! This is literally the entire reason I got fed up with ads! What’s the point if I’m too poor to buy the junk they’re hawking?!

There are a couple of VPNs with built-in DNS blocking for advertisements. Athena is a solution that uses your phone’s VPN functionality to route traffic served from known ad networks into a digital brick wall like Roadrunner baiting Wile E. Coyote into a painted tunnel.

Brave is run by a fascist tech oligarch. They’re still collecting your data to send to ad companies, they’re not even half as ‘privacy respecting’ as they claim to be. If you’re an American, you should be worried. Those ad companies are, by extension, selling their data to the government to bypass the 4th Amendment.
Brave doesn’t do anything that uBlock Origin and Mullvad don’t already do better.

Do we have a free press?
I was a Palestine protestor at my college encampment. When I tell you that I lost so much faith in journalism after the lies they printed about us, I want you to take my full meaning. For persec reasons, I won’t say where or what they printed. But I remember camp being equal parts hopeful and defiant, and angry and resolute. I was one of the few with any real camping experience, so my self-assigned task was repairing tents and reviewing sleeping accommodations to make sure no one was cold or sleeping poorly. What the press made it look like was ‘group of absolutely clinically loony college kids invite hoards of homeless bums to their college and start trashing everything in sight under guise of protest’.
Without fail, it was recognizable and ‘reputable’ news orgs that were printing bald-faced outright lies about us. A few of the journalists I interacted with expressed… regret. Despair. Only one I met seemed happy to be there. The rest, the look on their faces made it feel like they were at our funeral. The ones that printed the truth? A local headshop magazine that usually covered what strains of cannabis were popular, and Unicorn Riot. The offbeat weirdos or dedicated ideologues.
It was so jarring to see a profession I regarded so highly eviscerating the truth. I’ve lost all faith in corporate media, and I will never get it back.

Finally someone mentions the fucking loophole in the 13th Amendment. Slavery is still legal in the US. It’s just illegal when anyone other than the prison-industrial complex does it.

So, the prior comment about the woman who raised a pet beaver… lemme guess, every time she takes a shower, by the time she opens the door, every non-stationary object in the house has been dragged in front of the bathroom door.
