More Gross To Love

If you regret a permanent body alteration you got and your immediate thought is "raise the legal age for everybody who can do this" instead of "Maybe I, specifically, was a dipshit" you need to get Gotten by a mountain lion

Still cant get over that the first villains in legend of Korra were literally called the equalists💀 not to repeat the obvious but the way american red scare propaganda is still so prevalent in american society that all marvel movies and many kids tv shows will always have villains whose motive is to "make the world equal" is impressive if not depressing

Season 3 is much bolder. You actually have zaheer say that he wants to "tear down oppressive governments" citing the queen of ba sing se who literally kidnapped and conscripted ppl including children against their will and now you have korra on the opposite side of that bc "its crazy" and will cause chaos as if oppression should be a norm to accept in order to keep "balance" my god. And of course the means in which zaheer and his group r using to achieve freedom from oppressive governments will be ridiculous in order to discredit the idea that we should fight against oppressive governments. Imagine if aang was like we cant overthrow the firelord that would create imbalance. This is RIDICULOUS

yesssss lets all take swipes at anarchists and generate even more memetic division while protestors are catching terrorism charges for being in possession of anarchist zines were really saving the revolution #RESIST

anarchists are all useless do-nothing larpers but also short-sighted adventurists. all of them are dumb and bad people, and thats why i agree with the united states department of justice's stance that they have no place within our communities

this is an opinion i have developed independently, derived from social media interactions and memes propagated by my peers in the last five years, so im absolutely certain the popularity of this position has nothing at all to do with the FBI stating they were turning their efforts against Anarchists in 2021

HEY CAN EVERYONE TELL SHEILA THAT THIS IS NOT AN OVERREACTION AND THAT THIS IS INSANE AND YOU NEED TO LEAVE HIM YESTERDAY

GIRL, DUMP HIM

GIRL KILL HIM

okay even assuming your unborn child can hear you fucking. it's like having sex in front of your stuffed animals or your dog, dude. they have absolutely no understand of what is going on. they don't give a shit. at no point is any person who has ever or will ever be born going to go "oooooh man I think hearing my parents fuck while I was in utero really fucked me up actually" that's not how anything works. they're too busy going "mmm yummy amniotic fluid" they do not know or care that sex is happening

Are you doing okay? We missed you at the devil's sacrament. He mentioned you by name. Everyone was looking around and cheering until we realized you weren't there. If you need to talk I'm always here. At the aforementioned devil's sacrament.

It's so, so funny when folks bring up GURPS as a counterexample to the argument that even purportedly generic tabletop RPG character creation systems are tuned to produce a specific Type of Guy. GURPS character creation is desperate to produce the snarky unreliable narrator of a military science fiction novel. GURPS is practically gagging for it. GURPS will do unspeakable things to push your character in that direction.

It's not "incorrect" to treat tabletop RPG character creation as a guided OC creation tool – heck, it's not even novel; the first published tabletop RPG to explicitly frame character creation as a standalone solo minigame came out in like 1977 – but you do need to recognise that each character creation system is tuned to produce a very particular Type of Guy. Yes, even the ostensibly "generic" ones. This isn't a flaw – obviously you want character creation for a game to strongly push people toward creating characters who are both willing and able to participate in the things the game in question is about – but it's something to be aware of when using tabletop RPGs in this way. If you're trying to use Dungeons & Dragons as a creative framework for a character who would never under any circumstances voluntarily go into a dungeon to fight a dragon, you're gonna have a rough time!

the thing is, it’s never too late for anyone to start over except me. I’m doomed and it’s over for me

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

can you imagine being a Star Wars pro-rebellion type during The Empire and you think of Mon Mothma as this milquetoast senator who is vaguely anti-imperial but ultimately ineffective and ethically captured and then one day you find out that she's been funding the rebellion for half a decade.

and for that matter why have i seen posts on here trying to rehabilitate the reputation of fucking 4chan. like i say this as a person of color tumblr is racist yes but it is not "incited multiple white supremacist mass shootings" levels of racist. it is not "started gamergate" levels of misogynist. what are we doing here. if you found community and support in 4chan good for you but everyone else has the right to feel uncomfortable that you found community among nazis and racists

Baby Killer refers to US Soldiers and not to women who get abortions, if I ever insult baby killers, know that I am insulting the troops

It's literally stolen valor

That woman didn't spend months in Vietnam shooting babies with her rifle, the troops did that

You don’t have to like Mamdani‘s politics to recognize that everyone who has insisted for decades that The Issues are almost all too complicated and too nuanced to explain to voters let alone address was lying to you.
