if a sausage that claims to be ‘meat’ is, by majority volume and weight, non-meat filler, though… i daresay there are some people who would take issue with that, and i wouldn’t blame them. Meat can be sausage… but sausage CAN be made with no meat, or almost no meat.

i’m so fucking tired of this bastard.

he’s responsible for a lot of my misery and i want him out of it.

now shen has to start drawing his life female too. and then change pronouns ;3c

That’s one way to describe the yellowing…

Translation: may your teeth be well, friend.

people redefine ‘right’ and ‘left’ quite often to suit their own internal narratives and post-hoc rationalize riding with a crew that they … basically actually chose on vibes.

now, i’m not saying that there’s nothing to that!

there certainly ARE sets of overlapping traits that are more likely to show up among people who identify as ‘left’ vs people who identify as ‘right’.

i’ve been criticized for using the wikipedia definition of the left-right political spectrum–that of being social equality on the left and social hierarchy on the right. (Although for the most part it DOES seem to fit.)

the world has changed a lot since the french revolution where people seated themselves in the national assembly with the monarchists grouping up on the right side of the room while the revolutionaries sat on the left.

i also see versions of it where people base it on concentrating power and authority into the hands of the few vs distributing and decentralizing that power and authority democratically.

however.

capitalism both concentrates power/authority AND enforces rigid hierarchy where those who own the equipment, machines, tools, structures, real estate, etc (the capital) are ‘above’ those who perform the work.

which is to say:
Yeah i’m pretty sure the sentiment here is correct that capitalism is inherently right-wing. (all the stuff i wrote above is WHY i think it’s correct.)

i hope historians ten thousand years from now will find record of both the gene wilder version of wonka AND what’s left of homeric texts, and this post too, and realize the same conclusion.

at her core, every woman is strange and powerful.

patriarchy specifically exists to suppress her nature.

Toxic positivity. I’m not a fan of “your opinion doesn’t count unless you agree with me” and this is just a social media platform saying the same thing. But I’m grateful for the Return YouTube Dislike browser plug-in/add-on so that you can have some point of reference among perspectives outside one’s own. If a video has 300 likes, you might think it’s a fine video and you’ll watch it thinking “wow 300 people endorsed this”. If a video has 300 likes and 500 dislikes, though, you at least KNOW “oh that’s at least one red flag. I shall invest more effort than usual into being skeptical and mindful, and more effort into thinking critically as well, as I watch this.”

If i see a ton of dislikes on a video whose topic is one of the new reich’s designated scapegoats, the dislike count may in fact be a factor that INCREASES my favorability toward it, because chuds brigading something means it upsets them.

i might have been convinced that chatbots could’ve had some utility as sort of advanced ‘rubber duck debugging’, but in my humble opinion talking to an actual rubber ducky is a superior process because literal rubber duckies are not known for telling us to kill ourselves unless we’ve taken a truly apocalyptic quantity of hallucinogens.

That dickhead wouldn’t understand responsibility if it tattooed a scarlet R onto his chest.

Styrofoam is too durable. Their nuts are made of aerogel. Both more insubstantial AND ALSO brittle.

You kiddin’? I’ve been begging Canada to take New England as a province since y2k.

ngl tho, for all its difficulties the british medical system is straight up better than the american one, since the american one is basically “no system, fuck you get rekt” x.x

depends on the instance.

i really miss lemm.ee… it was just, y’know, nice. a nice place. with nice people. friendly, cheerful, open, welcoming.

then you have some instances that are rather uh … combative >.> i shan’t name names lest i accidentally summon their unwanted attention.

i’m new to my current instance and it’s a very cozy place so far. i worry i might be too edgy for the time being, but i’m hoping to sand those edges down, because goodness knows this cursed decade’s roughness has left me rough too. the Screaming Twenties have no brakes…

that ship ain’t sinking anywhere NEAR fast enough if we’re seeing this few vermin scurrying out of the bulkheads.

but yeah i think on second thought your interpretation makes more sense.

I wish I could personally cross off some of those names

Relationship goals.

I friggin love tailsteak

This sounds like one of 4chan’s pogroms.
