By telling me you love me, you’ve created a demonic pact. I shall bless you with good fortune and affection. In return, I get a chunk of your soul when you perish to add to my collective.
I have seen less and less posts about Palestine each day, and I want to remind people that there is still very much a genocide going on and Palestine has continued to be attacked.
Oh my god. I need to share another story of my new friend making today. So my friends husband says, very casually, as we’re about to leave for the ren faire, “Yeah, it’s like my story about fucking a chicken.”
And of the four people present I was the only one who was shocked. The others all nodded as if to say, yes yes, we know, the chicken fucking.
So he explained, when a progressive person is analyzing a behavior they will typically use the metric, Harm/No Harm. They may not like things in the No Harm category but they wouldn’t object.
Conversely, a more conservative mindset used something like eight metrics. Authority/No Authority Moral/Not Moral, things like that.
So, he posited if you want to sound out someone’s mindset (and you’re willing to live with the repercussions) you can ask: if a man buys a dead chicken from the store, cleans it thoroughly, then fucks it, and then eats it himself…?
I listened in dawning horror, both rapt and disgusted. But into the growing pause I whispered, “No harm…” because it really has no effect on me or anyone else if a man fucks a dead chicken. I don’t like it, I think he’s a weird dude, but like. That’s his dick. But a more conservative person will hear that and object on moral grounds despite not being harmed.
It’s been haunting me all day, so please enjoy.
This is also a handy probability scale for who’s gonna be wearing your skin in a week.
I know you’re joking but this joke is absolutely the point. You’ve assigned a moral judgement to the act, rather than acknowledging it as not harmful.
In the current climate sex has so many moral judgements applied, and I can tell you that perfectly bland every day people do some Crazy Sex Stuff. When I worked at a sex shop they’d tell me all about it. It didn’t preclude them to murder or being serial killers. If someone wants to fuck a warm cantaloupe or a dead chicken it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t harm me or anyone else.
Your morals should not be applied to anyone else’s sex life unless there’s actual harm, and a time where public indecency laws are rearing their heads again creeping toward the immoral queers, it’s something to actively push against.
yes, you may think this happened because i left the can in the freezer overnight, only to abruptly awaken to a blast that shook my home,But I am a man of science and am not so easily convinced by such claims. Not when so many other factors were at play. The only logical thing to do is to repeat the conditions of the experiment two more times to ensure reliability and detect outliers. My hypothesis is that this one wont explode
GOOD HEAVENS
I wanted everyone to think im a cool and fun summer guy:(
but obviously i am just a stupid smelly scientist… back to the laboratory i guess..
Perhaps one more try… in the name of scientific integrity…..
I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you’ve ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone’s day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can’t help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery
bruce wayne has his finger on the pulse of gotham’s underground music scene he’s like “listen to this” and he puts on a cassette he bought for $10 from a guy under a bridge and its like 90 minutes of some guy crooning in a flooded warehouse with a guitar amp they found in the river and there’s active gunfire in the background of half the songs
gotham grunge band “arkham fire” debut album “DYING ALL THE TIME” becomes the world’s first snuff record because their guitarist is killed by the joker in the middle of the fifth track and it is unequivocally considered their best song
schistcity and i have spent the last week designing and editing a music festival poster inspired by @lushloooser post about skrunkfest
IF YOU GUYS NEED ME FORGET ABOUT ME BECAUSE I’M GONNA DIE GRINDING ASS AT SKRUNKFEST
it’s always wild to me how many people use social media exactly like the fake users they make up in tech demos do. just commenting on chipotle’s post about a new type of steak like “😍 can’t wait to try it!” and reacting to articles on mass death events with “😥”
A few days before Halloween, i went out to a club with a few friends from my class and then when i next saw them they said “oh yeah everyone got badly ill and has been feeling awful all week.”
and i thought haha im just built different i guess, i dont get sick. But then i realised my stomach had been hurting a bit more than the usual constant pain.
So in reality I had gotten sick but i was so used to always having stomach pain that i just registered it as “oh it’s just one of those days i guess” rather than i am unwell,and just carried on as normal.
youtube has SO much nerve doing their little “don’t use an adblocker pleaseeee we want your money so bad you’re so mean :(” you LITERALLY let people get doxxed on your website and this is the torch you’re burning
I’ve made my peace with creators doing ad reads in most youtube videos, (and by that I mean I’ve accepted the mild inconvenience of skipping forward), but I will be DUST AND BONES before I let youtube itself run ads in my face. or spend money on premium??? RETCHES
hosting and birthing some of the worst creeps you can find on this, beyonce’s internet, raking in progressively higher figures each year, and youtube STILL puts their hands out and says “money please???”
what happened to your fuckin $29,000,000,000 allowance? did you already blow it all on candy???
Sponsors are annoying but at least they always pay the content creator
Meanwhile youtube can randomly demonetize videos or hide videos from searches or let your videos be copyright claimed by bots
a post containment breach is usually when a specific fandom post is vague enough that folks outside of the fandom start reblogging it bc it’s relatable. the opposite of this is when a random post accidentally vibes too hard with a fandom and op has to respond with “who’s [this person you keep tagging]” and I for one, love that genre of post.
i did not have “born in the wrong body” childhood transgender angst i had “blissfully unaware of the concept of gender until the world lucifer’d me and made me bite that fucking awareness apple and then suddenly everything was Wrong” angst
grug dyeing hair with blueberries. grug inventing pronouns.
look, grug… gorg accept a lot. but why grug want to be called new made-up words like “he” and “him”? and then, grug call grug “I”? too confusing for gorg.
The suburbs kinda suck, and you should stop moving there when you have kids. Kids being able to go places is actually really good for their development and there are no shops or 3rd places in the Suburbs. Just think, if you had a kid would you rather live in a cool canopied historic streetcar suburb with a corner store down the street and an ice cream place a few blocks away or would you want to live on a hot miserable suburb where you can’t walk anywhere but other people’s houses
It’d funny honestly, people complain that children stay inside but like, they have no where to go, if a kid wants to get ice cream they need to be driven halfway across town, if they want a soda and you don’t have one in your fridge, you need to go to the massive super store instead of a local corner store. Suburbanisation is a major factor in the growing isolation in young people as the sprawl of cities have pushed people further and further away from any sort of mixed use environment.
This also goes into how suburbs have destroyed local communities instead of building them up like promised in the 50s and 60s by removing cornerstones of communities like local grocery stores, locally owned restaurants and other local businesses and replacing them with big business as there is no way run something like a small grocery store in the suburbs because of how zoning and the design of suburbs works. In the past people would know their neighbors and the people who they bought from because of how they all were one community but as people became more isolated in the suburbs to afford the suburban lifestyle and not having access to the amenities of a lively city or town they started to live more and more separate lives. This is yet another factor in how car dependence and Suburbanisation have lead to the current isolation in the modern world
Not this is not to say that because of how the American Suburban development has destroyed both community structures and the early development of children we should lose hope and lose ourselves in an idealised past or a nonexistent version of europe. No this is to make you angry, because if you want better cities, you need to be willing to fight for them, and the first step is forming a relationship with the people around you because that is what allows you to demand improvement and change in your community, actually both being in and having a community. And it should give you hope because if we have places that still have community and healthy places to grow up then we still can make those places a reality else where. It just takes effort and time
