Disney using gay as a weapon against a fascist because taxes is on brand but wasn't on my bingo card for 2023
I'm so glad that the capitalist hellscape is at least funny

okay i tried slowing down the cantina song to make it sad but instead it sounds like something that would be playing in the black lodge
OP: “okay, let’s make it sad!” *accidentally opens a portal to the universe of Grim Fandango*
the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.
where Starbucks and Target and Budweiser will be bullied into submission with the slightest push, puppets and people in your neighborhood stand tall

Nah nah nah, you ain’t hiding this in the tags
Not one of the 7 deadly sins, but a secret 8th sin

actually, poisoning the people and land with toxic weapons is great, as long as it's Our side doing it
The uranium can tell if the person firing it is Good/Evil and acts accordingly
when somebody is shitty at me in public (my boss and i walk a large pack of dogs between the two of us -- so we interface with the public in a specific way a lot) anyway when somebody is shitty at me I just turn my customer service voice up to 11 and no matter what they say to me i respond “thank you!” “okay thank you!” “I understand, thank you!”
and oh my gods, it wrecks people in ways no amount of swearing or insulting ever has
a couple months ago our only other employee called out sick last minute and my boss and i were walking 24 dogs between the two of us - which, we are extremely professional about, that number is not a problem for us. Anyway, we were pulled off the side of the walking/biking path and this guy with one of those infinitely long retractable leashes let his little frenchy start wandering right up to our pack of dogs. I was bent over picking up poop so my boss asked the man to please not let his dog approach our pack of dogs. He said in response that he lets his dog do whatever he wants!? and let his dog come super close to our pack of twenty-four dogs?
And when my boss said “well that’s a dangerous way to manage your dog” He moved away a little bit but started cussing us out for being so rude and yelling about how maybe we shouldn’t have a pack of uncontrolled dogs out (one of our dogs had by now barked a single time, which i shut down immediately, which honestly just goes to show off all our hard work with these dogs because between his body language and the loud angry yelling, as far as the dogs were concerned this man and his dog were literally threatening violence toward the 26 of us, and my boss and I were holding them together below boiling point solely on their sheer trust in our ability to control every situation they experience with us.)
Anyway my boss has seen my “thank you!” technique and she started doing it and this guy came unglued. And the more angrily he insulted her and the more she responded with okay thank you in a cheerful voice the more people stopped to see and the more it looked like he was an out-of control asshole (which of course, he was) and he could tell as it was happening but it just made him angrier
he wound up stomping off still yelling at us both, but it really demonstrated something about the technique: there is no version of that story for him that makes him look good. What’s he going to say “and then she said thank you! THANK YOU! What a bitch, right?” well did she say it, you know, in a mean way? “no, no she said it in a cheerful polite way!” like, he can’t be the hero of that story to anyone in his life XD
idk how much this made the news in the Americas but the Hellenic coast guard watched as a vessel carrying more than 400 (some estimates say 700) migrants capsized and sank in the Mediterranean. 104 people survived. official death toll is 79 because the rest is missing, and might never be found. There are claims that many children were below deck.
Frontex and the Hellenic Coast Guard was aware of the vessel and the dangerous situation it was in for days, but did not intervene
The coast guard released this photo. They came this close but did not intervene. EU and the Greek coast guard sat and waited for this boat to sink
Survivors and rescuers claim that the boat capsized after being towed by the coast guard at high speed.
if this is true, at best they caused an accident out of carelessness and immediately retreated to cover it up, or they committed a massacre.
that boat was overloaded as fuck and it's not okay for the EU to create a situation where evil profiteers cram people onto vessels like that. you can see from the photos that a sneeze would have capsized it. it's completely fucking criminal. blaming the coast guard is like blaming an EMT when they show up to someone already in medical distress and their heart stops - the greek coast guard is not out there tipping boats over. but if you prey on people's desperation and your boat is loaded like THAT, yeah, it'll fucking capsize and whose fault is that.
the coast guard is not like the emt, they're armed border police that are a branch of the military and they receive billions of euros of funding from the eu to keep refugees out
Concepts like sex magic and fertility deities in fantasy are actually really interesting to me as a person with a lot of interest in anthropology and mythology like Yes I am curious about the weird sex that elves have but its pretty much exclusively explored by authors who are Weird Horny Dudes and forget about putting that stuff into a d&d campaign
Oh we’re talking about sex in fantasy settings are we?
Oh, famed fantasy author Ed Greenwood! So good to see you, we're having our panel down here in my wine cellar,
WAIT I HAVEN’T FINISHED TELLING YOU HOW THE DROW MATRIARCHS DISCIPLINE THEIR UNRULY MALE CONSORTS
This is funny and I don't even know who that is
I love the specific ways in which AI is terrible
Imagine making a small talk with your barista and they slide their social battery badge down a level
OMG I bought that pin last week and it arrived today!
imagine sliding this down mid conversation lmao
In a good day I'm in yellow ngl...
You're at a lunch with friends when they all stop talking.
They were distracted by the low health sound of your social health bar
Do-do do-do do-do
Truth is, it reads more like "she can do everything" and "him, it's just Ken"
And ken is a slang used in French that means "to fuck"
So "Him, it's just fucking"
Which I think is even more hilarious
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
Jesus christ I just remembered I ate a live mouse whole when I was 9
I completely believe that you did that. But, if I may ask, how did you procure this mouse? Was it on purpose? Did you hunt it like a cat? Did you know it was a mouse?
We had a rat problem so we set out traps with peanut butter, and I found one in it when I was getting a midnight snack. I thought that maybe if I acted like a cat, our cat would like me more and let me cuddle them, so I went up to the cat, shoved the dead mouse in my mouth, and swallowed with a big glass of water. It was fucking terrible and the fur tasted terribly. I'm honestly surprised I didn't fuck up my intestines somehow.
Well that certainly wasn’t what I was expecting.
You think I expected to remember that today? Buddy I had memories of rat fur sliding down my throat
This whole thing was a roller-coaster to read through
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
wait it gets better
was in the car with my friend when I saw the car we passed had the license plate "SADNESS" and I went oh wait we gotta slow down so I can get a pic, but every time we went slower the other car also slowed down. so I looked behind us to see what was going on and the passenger also had their phone up and wheezing the same way I was, and that's when I remembered my friend's license plate is "LOSSJPG"
