cry me a conundrum

in deep psychological distress: i should make a post on the internet

i do actually think it's crazy that employers get a say over shit like tattoos and piercings and we just let that happen

if you look cool as fuck you become unemployable

i do also mean like, face tattoos, yall know that right

besides the obvious that people should have the right to do what they want with their bodies as a form of self expression, the stigma against face tattoos specifically has a long, violent, racist, imperialist history that stretches across the globe

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

Gotta say, my absolute favourite notes on this so far have been the number of people congratulating Tony on his rebound from the Grinch.

parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.

It's not all homeschoolers... but it's certainly most of the homeschoolers who don't want protections and regulation. The ones who are homeschooling for the right reasons benefit from guidelines and benchmarks being in place.

It's really hard to pull off blue overalls these days. Wear a red shirt and suddenly you're Mario, green shirt and you're Luigi. Well, there are only two mario brothers and Wario's got purple overalls over his yellow shirt so you're safe, right? Wrong. blue overalls yellow shirt and suddenly you're a Minion.

the fact that languages change over time is so funny to me. we have thousands of language that work perfectly well, but no that's not good enough, we need to keep fiddling with them. no not making them better, just making them different. why? well, humans enjoy making up words and phrases. for fun. enrichment activity

"given up" really is such an insidious phrase because it implies a degree of choice in passivity rather than being the reasonable conclusion of enduring beyond all hope of relief or resolution. i didn't give you shit you just wore me down until i no longer had the strength to protest.
