Wow there’s some fucking bullshit going on in the replies here. Moderate your fucking spaces on the internet, kick racists and other bad actors to the kerb or you risk losing everyone else. This guy has the right of it (scroll up to top).
Quit thinking you need to be fair to unfair voices
For anyone who can’t/won’t read that twitter thread, it’s by Michael B. Tager (@IamRageSparkle) and it says:
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”
And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.” And i was like, ohok and he continues.
“you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.” And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

Honestly, a not-insignificant contributing factor to my mid-20s gender crisis is that I used to think I was viscerally repulsed by playing as male characters in video games, but eventually I realised it was literally just playing as smarmy brown-haired thirtysomething dudes with an emotional range running the gamut from dull surprise to generic rage that put me off, and basically every other sort of male player character was fine. It’s just that this happened to be when the Uncharted series was really taking off, so a solid 50% of all male video game protagonist fit that mould! Nathan Drake sucks so much that he made me question my gender, is what I mean to say.
I hate when youtubers go tehee I’m having chocolate cravings lets make homemade chocolate because they are like here are these fancy cacao beans I have imported I am now fermenting them and going through the process of drying/processing when if you have a chocolate craving at home with no chocolate all you gotta do it’s mix butter, sugar, and coco powder together, I know damn well most of yall are like me and not in the tex bracket to be importing freaking cocoa beans lmao
How Dezi makes chocolate at home to combat chocolate cravings
1 whole stick of butter (this is your base)
Powdered sugar or normal sugar. Powdered sugar will give a smoother consistency and you can use less.
You if you just mix those two ingredients above and add a bit of vanilla congrats you have just made vanilla buttercream icing lol
Now adding the coco powder really thickens it up and like the sugar you can play with how much you want to add. Adding a lot will give a more dark chocolate flavor
Now notice beyond the butter I gave no measurements lol that’s because I just eyeball it 🤣 because the ingredients even if you mess it up will still taste good and enjoyable
If you want it to firm up and possibly put it into a candy mold I suggest adding a bit of coconut oil and sticking it in the fridge for as long as you can stand.
Things to keep in mind-
You gotta mix mix mix, I just use a fork or spoon but make sure you mix everything together, mixing less or more will change the consistency so pay attention to what your looking for. It you want something less fluffy mix less if more fluffy mix more.
It won’t taste like hersheys they actually add an acid to the chocolate that gives it that sour milk flavor, but it’s still tasty chocolate.
It will easily melt so you should keep it in the fridge when you arent eating it
Have fun, the ingredients to make it are easy to find and can be quite cheap, using cheap butter isn’t going to ruin it.
If you want to make something you can add to a drink or pour over ice cream (not put into molds) instead of butter you can use a can of sweetened condensed milk instead
Hope you enjoyed this crash course into curing your chocolate cravings in the middle of the night
Some people seemed dubious that this will make chocolate. Here are my ugly strawberry shaped chocolates. I never used this mold for anything before so I wasn’t sure how they would turn out but they are tasty. I could have mixed it longer but I was impatient.
Like these are chocolates, they are solid, and they melt when exposed to heat. They taste like chocolate, look like chocolate, it’s chocolate 🍫
I keep talking about how gay I am but I don’t have any statistics to back it up, I’m just hoping that if I keep talking about how gay I am eventually something will happen, I’ve been manifesting falling in love for the past 5 years

I’m laying here crying on the floor and you take away my vowels too
The sentence “you can’t be talking like that, white baby” has permanently ruined my relationship with my cats bc I can’t stop saying it any time one of them meows at me.
“We keep making our service worse, cancelling shows before their time, hiking up the prices, and generally ruining what once was a decent product–piracy keeps wining somehow. 🤷”
Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like “For shame… you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??” to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says “Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity… Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over ‘brand recognition’, they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!” to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says “Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans,” to which I say “I don’t know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx”
I dont know if you remember in 2016? But he put kids in cages IMMEDIATELY. Like…these are not theoretical. We know its not because this is what he did the last time he was president. He’s serious because he did it LAST TIME IMMEDIATELY

fun fact, the reason otherkin are called “otherkin” is because originally there were online communities, waaayy back in the 90′s, of people who identified as elves. when people emerged who identified as other things the elfkin called them “otherkin” bc they weren’t elves
THE ELF SUPERIORITY COMPLEX REMAINS A VITAL MORAL OF THE SPECIES DESPITE UNIVERSE I SEE
too many of you make fun of men under 5’7 when it would be just as easy (if not easier) to defend them from passing hawks. have you no heart
I know this is just a joke, and im not trying to target OP, but I love how everyone is like “Body shaming is wrong! Don’t even make jokes because it reinforces harmful stereotypes!” But then the target of the body shaming is male and now suddenly anything goes. Height, weight, hair (usually lack thereof), penis size, etc. And people will be like “no, I’m not ACTUALLY saying he has a small dick, I’m just saying he has small dick ENERGY, so it’s okay”. Like, what are we doing here?
SO a few years ago, long before Gandalf Big Naturals was even a thing, I saw this meme and it changed my brain chemistry. Since then I have googled it several times, but never been able to find a trace of it. Alas, it has come to this, and I have been forced to re-create it myself for your viewing pleasure.
Day 18 of extinct birds - the Carolina parakeet or Carolina conure
The Carolina parakeet was one of only three species of parrot native to the US. They were very social birds, found in large flocks, and multiple females will lay eggs in a single nest. Interestingly, they were known to eat a lot of cocklebur seeds which are toxic (at least to mammals). Another interesting thing is that the last captive parakeet died in the same cage that the last passenger pigeon died, 4 years after.
DO NOT REBLOG FROM OP THEY LOCKED ME IN A CONCRETE CELL LET ME OUT LET ME OUT I KNOW YOU CAN STILL HEAR ME.IM SORRY I THOUGHT ABOUT FUCKING THE LEAFEON
all demographics and time periods and geography taken fully into consideration, some people were just born to lose

“one-man environmental disaster”

as bad as your worst day has ever been, do you have a wikipedia article saying you “possess an instinct for the regrettable that is almost uncanny”
