in the mood for chaos

People complaining about the current romance book trends ruining women

what if instead of paying companies to delete our info off of databases periodically we like. idk. passed a law that said companies couldnt do that anymore. and set up some kind of task force to disband all the companies that do that. thatd be cool

the thing about having snacks is if you buy any snack you’d think that’d be enough. but no. if you don’t have the right kind of snack when you want a snack then you’re fucked

You should loudly boo every Democrat who attacks Trump’s deal with Iran for being too Iran-friendly. Any deal to end this war is a good deal. I do not care that we are returning the assets we stole from them. Cry about it. If you don’t want to make concessions to a country you consider an adversary, don’t start pointless wars with them and kill schools full of their children

Not really, we just started a war for no fucking reason and now we are PAYING FOR IT? You’re damn right I’m a little pissed at Trump. No one wanted to go to war. Not you or me but here we are and now we have to pay for it???? Get that rotten orange fuckwad out of here

We have not agreed to pay for anything. Returning frozen assets is just giving Iran their own money back after we previously took it from them. And assuming that the “investment fund” that’s being discussed ever materializes at all, its structure as an investment fund means that any money put into it will be returned, likely with small profits (and besides, it will probably be more GCC money than US money). The only effect of this bullshit line of attack on the US-Iran deal is to make peace less likely.

Critical support to these scammers weaponizing homophobia to drain right-wingers' bank accounts 🫡

the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.

Reactionary union guys talk about immigrants the exact same way ancient Roman populists talked about slaves. Like "I lost my job because the boss figured out he could save money by forcing another guy to do it under threat of death for less or no pay, and I've decided I'm gonna be mad at the guy instead of at our boss"

Rich people are literally just lying about being good at money btw

Things like overdraft fees, late fees, parking tickets, fines, subscription renewals, legal fees, penalty fees, sales and discounts, lawsuits - these are things that all cease to matter in any material way once you have enough money

To Jeff Bezos, a parking meter, a plane ticket, and a private jet all effectively cost the same amount of money: none

I don't want to buy mass-produced garbage from a big box store so I go to etsy but half of etsy is now dropshipped mass-produced garbage or AI slop so I go to the local arts and crafts street market but a ton of those booths are also selling the same generic plastic objects or identical stickers or 3D printed dragons so WHERE do I buy real trinkets and art from sincere freaks

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
