...MUDs... I still miss staring at a wall of text at 2am having epic adventures

Yeah, I miss the stories. Not the drama but the stories.

USA Cultural Regions Map

This is super cool

For non-Americans: this is actually accurate and reflects how Americans understand ourselves and regional identities. These aren’t official labels, but they’re not totally made up either.

you know how pokemon have types they’re weaker and stronger than? american regions work like that

FINALLY one of these maps that actually makes some sort of sense.

We’re from like the intersection of Deep South Texas and Acadiana. Houston is just like that.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Accurate. Intersection of Lower Appalachia, Upper South, and Deep South. We’re just Like That.

STAR TREK - S1E15 Shore Leave

You've been played.

How many of those “escape human traffickers” TikTok’s are made by people who have four foster kids for the tax breaks do you think

This isn’t a shitpost. This is a real phenomenon that happens a lot. People adopt foster kids because it gets government money and then neglect the fuck out of them, or hire them out to friends as slave labor. It’s all done above-board as “community service”.

The reality of violence is that it’s boring and systemic. It’s not getting kidnapped by cartel dudes in the parking lot at Aldi to be taken to Tijuana as a forced brothel worker. It’s upstanding Christian parents adopting children whose real families were ground up and processed by the penal system or whose parents were deemed unfit due to mental illness.

The people shouting loudest about human trafficking are usually the ones most responsible for it.

There’s a pattern with reactionary rhetoric similar to projection but much more intentional, where the actions of the “us” group are rhetorically transplanted to the “other” group for the express purpose of justifying violence against the other.

“The gays are trying to convert our precious children to their sick ideology” says the right, as they tear into textbooks and create entire media networks to indoctrinate their children and the children of others.

“We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud over an American city” says the largest nuclear power in the world, the only nation to ever use such cruel bombs against another in warfare.

“They’re coming here to take your jobs,” says the xenophobe running for congress as NAFTA enters its third decade of devastating the agricultural industry of Mexico and Central America by flooding them with cheap, US-Gov’t subsidized corn.

Every accusation is a confession.

Why is it only my depressing political posts that blow up.

this is the depressed political site

Congrats to the UK for kicking the tories out of office and giving labour enough of a political mandate to hopefully get some shit done. I hope Starmer doesn't prove too ineffective at dealing with all the bullshit.

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

via reddit.com

so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”

that’s…a pretty good analogy actually

US moron came to town

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

And this bitch called it Gucci

Seeing my notifications get flooded with this every July 4th is the only thing I respect about America

“Overuse of Healthcare” Like. How would that even work?

“Huh, this feels kind of … weird and “off” and not good, given my Universal Healthcare, I will go get it checked out. It MIGHT be nothing, but they MIGHT check it and find something serious before it becomes deadly or disabling, instead of just hoping it’s nothing serious and ignoring it until I can’t ignore it anymore”

Oh wait, that’s how healthcare is SUPPOSED TO WORK.

Thought I’d share this glorious insight I was given.
