I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
has anyone considered that it was probably her house too. where else was she supposed to put her chintz?
I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with
But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy
Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy
There's two commercials, if you wanna watch them XD
I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.

the problem with musicians is how they're always touring their latest album instead of like their critically hated second album from 2009 which is the one i'm obsessed with
Realized my hair is long enough I can braid it! So fun!

oh, of course. because he died for our sins.
My step cousin’s throuple wedding is coming up and her mom and half brothers aren’t going because they don’t approve which fucking sucks but also, aren’t they at least curious?
I think one of my strongest beliefs is that whether or not you approve of your child's choice of partner(s), you have to go to the wedding. There's just no coming back from that.
My toonie had the king on it!

Unpopular opinion I support men in skinny jeans. You claim to love men dressing slutty and this man is showing you the whole form and curvature of his lady lumps ready to be peeled out like an unripe banana and you hate?? Fake fans all around me
Is there a reason Americans insist on pronouncing Reese’s wrong?

Thoughts on fundies? Like the radical “woke right” Christians
Many!
I've been a fundie watcher for 10+ years because I'm interested in high demand religion. My workable definition of fundie is someone who takes the Bible to be literally true. Adam and Eve are not a metaphor, the world was created in 6 days, Jesus was a real guy who rose from the dead etc. Note that this precludes lots of high demand religions - e.g., a tradcath (traditional catholic) is not a fundie as I use the term because they believe in the church's interpretations, which are not always strictly literal.
The woke right, on the other hand, is a political movement. This has some overlap in that I'm sure some of the people are fundies, but, for instance, catholicism has become the religion du jour of many of these people. There are also lots of atheist right wingers out there. I think most fundies frankly don't get that involved in politics. If you genuinely believe that Jesus is coming back any day now and the world will end, what is the point of getting involved in politics?
TL;DR: fundies are not that online, woke right is way too online
My general thoughts on them? Both wrong but in different ways.
Fundies are incurious in a way I find hard to grapple with. As a group, they have no interest in considering other perspectives because they've been told that would lead them out of the faith. In many ways I feel bad for them as so many are plainly living in fear. But at some point it's your responsibility as a member of society to learn about other people and beliefs and it's frustrating how often they stunt their children.
The woke right I have way less sympathy for. There's no coherent viewpoint but to piss off the libs. It's a tactic, rather than a belief system. I think that part of a well-functioning and good society is people trying to understand each other and it's impossible to do that with people who have no interest in truth or empathy.
Anyway, I think that covers it? I wasn't sure if there was a specific question in there but this was helpful to parse through for my own purposes.

#the reason that lab safety regulations are the way they are is because literally all chemists are like this #as in 100% of them #no exceptions (via @prokopetz)
My grandfather got the GI bill after the war and decided to become a chemist. He was a year into his degree when he spilled something on himself in the lab. The way he told it, he watched whatever it was start to dissolve the leather apron he was wearing, thought about what it might be doing to his lungs, and after calmly removing the apron, became an architect instead. I think chemists are Like That because the sane ones all self-selected out of the pool.
what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs
i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names
my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them
