maybe you should start pulling yourself up by your thigh highs and become a popular mutual yourself and not always depend on others commie

If you ever say ‘pulling yourself up by your thigh highs’ within ten meters of my blog again I will fucking eviscerate you.

Everything about the USA will make you feel as if your whole ability to reason and think coherently has just flown away.

I’m thinking right now about a radio advertisement I overheard for Indeed - a theoretical jod search website. The advertisement, however, was directed at companies who were searching for employees. Presumably these companies pay Indeed to serve as a hub for their job postings and applicants. So Indeed wants people signed up, because more accounts shows more potential applicants and they can get more money from companies looking for employees. There’s no money in actually connecting applicants to positions, so you sign up, make the account, discover you signed up for a portal that just sends you to other company’s jobs pages with the same info and spams you with jobs you don’t want, and you leave forever. Money in the bank.

Meanwhile on the hiring side, job postings make a business look good. If you always got job postings, you’re growing. But keeping fresh postings in rotation is time consuming, especially when you’re lean staffed on purpose with investors who demand you show an infinitely growing rate of improvement. So you pay Indeed a monthly fee to upload a bunch of jobs you aren’t hiring for and use that to hook more investors to pay the first group.

And you end up with a company that gets paid to do nothing but generate fake data by other companies paying them to do nothing but post fake information, and the only part we (the ones looking for income to survive) play in this transaction is lending the process just enough legitimacy to make it legal. Money that doesn’t exist cycles around between people doing nothing and as long as none of us can afford groceries or a home, the economy is considered “doing well,” but the second one investor caves and demands to be paid, the economy collapses and suddenly 99% of the population in the USA can afford to eat again.

All you have to do is multiply that by a thousand companies doing it a thousand times a month and that’s the USA baby, except also we supply billions of dollars of weapons killing people around the world.

Part of why this makes my brain turn into a pile of whimsical dinosaur socks is you can say all this to almost any economist in the USA and they’ll agree with all of it except that part where 99% of the population has no money is good and when the bubble collapses and 5 trillion dollars in made up money vanishes, forcing three people to skip a single weekly trip to the top of Mount Everest, while the entire globe gets to put $100 away in savings that year it’s bad because of growth.

vegans making honey a bee labour issue is the funniest thing imaginable because like, you picked the one animal that has already unionised

You literally could not exploit bees if you TRIED

“Oh well if you stop the queen leaving the bees are trapped” wrong, bees can and will swarm without a queen. They will also make new queens if they don’t think theirs is good enough

“Bees don’t consent to their honey being taken” wrong, bees are actually more than intelligent enough to know we take the honey. They LET us take the honey if they think what we provide in return (shelter, food, protection) is a fair deal.

“Taking honey starves the bees” WRONG AGAIN! Domestic bees overproduce honey. A beekeeper NEVER takes honey the bees would need because then you piss off the bees, and if you piss off the bees you don’t have any bees. They stockpile honey for the winter, but because domestic colonies do way better than wild ones they stockpile too much. That’s why beekeepers can take out whole frames and then have them filled in no time. Domestic bees actively overproduce because they know humans are going to skim some off the top.

And if they didn’t want humans to take it, beekeeping WOULD NOT work.

To keep bees you have to let them fly free. If they can fly free they can leave. Meaning if they don’t like what you’re doing, they WILL leave.

The whole idea they’re basically slaves to the queen is also not true, they can just make a new queen literally whenever, and if they don’t like her, they kill her.

There is no way for a beekeeper to exploit their bees. The bees are EMPLOYEES.

Employbees, if you will.

hi, the electric company got an anonymous tip that i was clandestinely hooked into the grid and came to cut my line off and make away with the wire. i tried reaching an agreement with them but they were adamant that i am not above the law, and also that i’m not worthy (their words) of having a legal connection.

i know i have asked a lot of you already but if i could also get 80 usd to at least buy a new wire (aluminum, you know that copper would run me like 300 bucks) i would hold you all in my heart forever.

Sure the US propaganda machine is powerful now but ngl it was worse at the height of the Cold War.

The Kennedy administration ordered 41 ballistic missile submarines whose only purpose was the wholesale destruction of Soviet cities and called them the “41 for Freedom”.

Like, say what you will about Fox News and CNN, they can’t hold a candle to that kind of spin.

Oh and don’t even get me started on how John F Kennedy brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation over the Soviets pulling a tit-for-tat on medium range missiles.

Ok so I’ve got myself started.

The western narrative around the Cuban Missile Crisis is bullshit from top to bottom.

It’s been framed for 60 years as JFK bravely standing up to unprovoked aggression against the Soviet Union and persevering through superior resolve.

The reality is that the Soviet Union brought those missiles to Cuba as a direct counterweight to US missiles in Italy and Turkey of similar range, accuracy, and payload.

The whole crisis ended more or less by accident as both leader’s concessions literally crossed in the mail. Kennedy secretly promised to remove the Jupiter missiles from Turkey and Italy (a move that the USAF already wanted because they viewed the missiles as useless and obsolete) in exchange for Khrushchev withdrawing his missiles from Cuba.

But Khrushchev had already ordered the removal when he received kennedy’s word. (He was elated to accept, as this was entirely the purpose of the whole stationing)

This trade was kept secret for the better part of 50 years and while widely understood to have taken place in inner policy circles it was only declassified in the mid 2000s.

In short, rather than stoically calling Nikita Khrushchev’s bluff, Kennedy gave the USSR exactly what it wanted, but only after threatening to destroy the entire world and coming damn close to actually doing it.

I would say conservatively that half of Americans don’t know about them.

What’s even worse is that generations of people–including people who have since become politicians and political reporters–grew up believing the “badass chicken-playing Kennedy” myth and now think that that’s how “great men” are supposed to handle such crises.

Important addition to this, the nationalism we are currently facing is a direct result of the propaganda that was created in the ideologically warfare of the cold war. Both sides lost that war, we’re just losing it slower.

Rent control is on the ballot for California voters this November.

I uh, get that tumblr isn’t exactly sorted by geography, but this is a huge deal.

It’s a huge deal even for people who don’t expect to be personally affected by it – rent control is a protection against the poorest people living in a city being forced out, and that’s just bad for everyone. When you have a city where only medium well off to rich people live, you get their service employees coming in from a suburb an hour and a half away (blech) or else you get people stacked three to a room. Or people holding down a job or three while trying to earn enough to get off the street or, well, out of their parents’ place or away from the abusive partner they can’t afford to break up with. Point is, a lack of housing that people can just keep living in at the same price, means a lot of bad things for society, and we probably aren’t going to socialize housing within the next ten years but maybe we can get rent control back.

The original ‘virgin vs chad’ meme

I feel like everyone is sick of those stupid soyjack vs Chad “my opinion is good and based and correct, your opinion bad and wrong and stinky” memes by this point, as they’re some of the lowest forms of current internet 'humor.’ But precisely because those memes are so bad and also everywhere, I feel it’s worth giving some credit to the fact that the original “The Virgin Walk / The Chad Stride” was actually a brilliant meme.

“The Virgin Walk” image showed up first, and it was standard 4chan stuff - which is to say, highly negative. Just a whole bunch of random small traits that people can have, bundled together in an accusatory way to try and make people insecure about them having “virgin” posture, by the kind of people who genuinely worries about being an “alpha male” (Or possibly pointing out their own flaws as a form of self-hatred, flip a coin when it comes to 4chan)

And then, on another thread, someone made the Chad Stride edit to go along with it.

It’s a great piece of satire by how simple it is. Just by taking the traits listed in the original image, then inverting and exaggerating them, the result is an absurd caricature of a man who does not (and should not) exist. Through exaggeration, it demonstrates how the people who constantly worry about seeming 'Chad-like’ are chasing after behaviour that is utterly unhinged and disconnected from reality.

I think this gif demonstrates it perfectly by putting it in motion:

Virgin is a normal, if insecure dude. Chad is an absolute fucking maniac. (Not to mention all the references to violence in the image)

So, while it did degrade into those awful soyjak memes we all know and hate because that is the nature of the internet, I feel like it’s worth remembering that in the original image that spawned this entire trend, you’re supposed to laugh at Chad. You shouldn’t want to be Chad, because he’s the menace to society

Instructions on where to email are at the bottom of the first page of the PDF. Save your filled-out form and attach it, along with Project 2025, and send the email. Keep all communication professional.

If enough of us do this, the bureaucrats at the IRS will note the quantity of complaints, making this a higher priority.

Fun Disgusting Fact: the president of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, was paid $622,489 in 2022. The next 11 highest ranking employees are all making around $200,000-$300,000 per year. They pour millions into lobbying. The Heritage Foundation can afford to pay taxes. Let’s help them lose their tax-exempt status, shall we?

Why do I know this stuff: I work for a non-profit that gives money to other non-profits, so I deal with non-profits daily and regularly read their tax forms and IRS policies.

Kevin D. Roberts president. Barb Van Andel chairman.

[Image ID: There are two images. The first one is the Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers ‘Trump shared fake AI-generated images of Taylor Swift and her fans endorsing him.’ to Cas’ 'I love you’. The second one is a screenshot of a post by Donald Trump on Truth Social. It shows a collage of images with Taylor Swift fans photoshopped to wear 'Swifties for Trump’ t-shirts. One of the photos is a screenshot of a news article with the headline 'Swifties turning to Trump after ISIS foiled Taylor Swift concert’. The article is marked as satire. Additionally there is a fake image of Taylor Swift as Uncle Sam captioned with 'Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump’. Trumps response to the images is 'I accept!’ /End ID]

I want to tell you that Israel killed more than 30 members of my family. I am just trying to help the rest of my family.

Something people don’t bring up about nefarious goons and villainous heathens enough is that they’re always there for you. At your heights and lowest points, they’re always scheming for your miserable end and looking a little cute while doing it

of course your evilness

Yes your vileness

this is a bug

Creature that looks like it was made by a tumblr poll where 40% of people voted “eye” and 5% voted “leg”

It’s a mouse-deer, the smallest hoofed mammal in the world. They live in tropical forests in Southeast Asia.

We call them ‘Kancil’ in Indonesia and Malaysia. They’re the main character of many of our traditional fables (typecast as clever/sly lil bastard)

So, so gratifying to know that the ecological niche and the folklore role are shared for both rabbits and mouse deer. Guess you gotta be slick to be a tiny thicket herbivore.

The last fifteen years of body positivity and identity acceptance goes up in smoke when you hear somebody has two girlfriends that know about each other.

You hear about somebody being different in a way you’ve dreamt but never actually saw. You immediately retreat to the dialect of South Park. You are almost thirty.
