Saw a post about how halal and kosher meat will likely be the only reliably safe options in the US because their safety and cleanliness standards aren’t dictated by what’s the barest legal minimum that government food safety regulations demand.
So you’re like 5 years away from “ever notice how the musulmans and jews never get sick from bad meat? clearly this is proof that they are poisoning us” right now.

Lotta confusion as to “why are the granola save the whales hippies right wing conspiracy theorists now?” And I think the answer is twofold:
Any social movement in the anglosphere is gonna have a certain amount of reactionaries who happen to be temporarily aimed at a good cause. A lot of them were always low-key right wing.
When you have no ability for class analysis, it is a very short idealogical step from “distrust of pharmaceutical companies” to “distrust of modern medicine as a whole” to “judeo-bolsheviks are poisoning white babies for profit”
This trend will continue until people have access to non-predatory healthcare. Conspiracism thrives when people are failed by the systems they rely on.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO BITE EACH OTHERS DICKS OFF
One of my roommates is from China and neither of us speaks the other’s language but lately when she’s in a chatty mood she comes into our kitchen and shows me these douyin Matt Damon x Ben Affleck RPF videos and puts her theories about how Ben has been pining for Matt into google translate for me to read. fujoing out transcends language barriers
i love when people preface something like “MAJOR trigger warning!!” and then 0 specification what the actual triggering content relates to. thanks man i’ll be sure to watch out
Yasmin Benoit is a writer and asexual activist, btw. She often gets a lot of shit for dressing ‘sexy’ and people trying to say she’s not valid as an asexual person for it, but she is 1000% valid AF and an ace icon. She’s a model and enjoys clothes and outfits that are body affirming for her and feel good to her to be in, it is not sexy or 'trashy’ to dress how you like to dress, nor is it her responsibility if other people find her sexually attractive. She’s just living her best life and I freaking love that for her.
Also regular reminders that:
Black people can be asexual and are 1000% valid AF (racism + fetishization makes this necessary to point out)
People you find sexually attractive can be asexual and are 1000% valid for it
No one is required to indulge any sexual attraction you have for them regardless of your sexuality or theirs
Asexual people can and do have sex - there are asexual sex workers y'know & ace folks in partnerships with children
Asexual people who are sex repulsed and do not have sex are just as valid as aces who are sex favourable or indifferent
Allosexual people who are sex repulsed are also valid and it doesn’t mean they’re asexual by default. Attraction and action are two different things
Asexuality is a whole ass spectrum of identities and belongs under the LGBTQ+ umbrella
oh…….i had a dream that a religious cult had taken over the city and was hunting me, but I had a little dog I found in the trash named BATHMAT and he looked like a USED MOP and I miss him so much. I want to go back to sleep
Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoors tables, etc, etc
Notice how removing seating doesnt actually prevent people from sitting it just makes them uncomfortable and makes public spaces more hostile it doesnt actually work at controlling their behavior not till a pig comes along anyways and they’ll harass a homeless person/teen whatever they’re sitting on.
Collaboration between corporations and their kept politicians, they don’t want you to have free places to rest and enjoy time with others. They want you either to be in the shops, or at a cafe or restaurant, and if you can’t afford those things, they want you removed by police or private security.
it’s crazy that people make fun of the right for engaging in conspiracy theories, then turn around and write shit like “the government is EVIL and trying to hurt YOU PERSONALLY with EVERYTHING THEY DO”

grown men will throw fits about how they face sooo much rejection and women would never get it meanwhile me and the girls who were even just like average or a lil ugly at like 12 years old were being treated like we were subhuman by peers and adults alike
Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don’t get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?
Modern movies and shows tend to have very unbalanced mixing. Also, a common trend in modern movies is more realistic dialogue (mumbling) that is not as crisp as it was in previous eras of film making.
I’m eating corn chips and they be crunchy and loud as hell and also I’m half deaf I think
Is that where you try to guess if it will have a “comb” at the top? I feel like I have half a memory but not a full one…
I am absurdly charmed to realise that other places in the world also pulled the seeds off these and had to say if it was a hen or rooster. Where I’m from you had to say one or the other before the other kid pulls the seeds off and if you guessed wrong the other kid would blow the seeds in your face. We also had a third option: chicken.
wait okay do you mind explaining a bit more about how you play this game? I have a vague idea of how to do it by yourself but I love it being social.
Before stripping the seeds the other person makes a guess if it’ll be hen (no comb) or rooster (comb)? I love the raised stakes.
where does the chicken come in?
lowkey want to practice this now
Sure! Though caveat this was in Iceland in the 90s and I haven’t played this in approximately 30 years. I also don’t know if the kids today still play it that way.
The saying is “hani, hæna, eða tittlingur?” i.e. “rooster, hen, or chicken?”. As a social game you need at least two people. Your friend picks up a straw of this plant, holds it out to you and says the line, and then you have to try to judge what the outcome will be. If you’re right, you keep going until you are wrong, at which point your friend blows the seeds in your face like with dandelions. Then you switch. With more than one kid playing you can make it a chain. By yourself doing it is more of a practice run to pull the seeds off because if you do it wrong or the straw breaks halfway through or something like that, then you’ve also lost.
The three choice options refer to the size of the smushed up seeds together and only vaguely the shape. We didn’t judge if the rooster had a comb, the rooster was the big one because it looked like a flashy rooster tail! So if you had a big bunch of seeds it was a rooster and if your bunch also had a trailing bit then it was a particularly successful rooster. Icelandic roosters look like this:
The hen was the average size bunch, with no trailing bit. If you got an average bunch but with a trailing bit then you would have to carefully judge between you whether this was just a small rooster or did it count as a hen, depending on how big the trailing bit was. If it was big enough to droop: rooster. and the chicken was a small bunch. You couldn’t always tell beforehand what the outcome would be because not all kids managed to get all the seeds and create a magnificent rooster tail - they might end up with a chicken. And a small straw with few seeds might turn out either a hen or chicken.
(There would be serious judging in any case of the result if it was ambiguous.)
My beloved mutual @pipariperho says they play with rooster, hen, and chicken in Finland too:

Though I don’t know if they play with the same rules as we did! I also have no idea how this is played in Denmark as I was 11 when I moved here so past the age of playing this game anymore. If any other Icelanders or Danes want to throw in their two cents, feel free.
I love this thank you so much for taking the time to write it all up. I am going to try playing this game now.
In your average city builder, you play as an almighty God Mayor who does not have to listen or interact at all with his citizens, he has complete power of life and death over them and can shape the city at will. Except for Traffic, the most powerful force in the universe and the only thing that actually matters to simulate in a city simulator. Everything else is just a backdrop for Traffic.
the citizenry knowing this spend as much time as they can using cars as their primary mode of transportation as they know this causes the most Traffic, and when a route they want to use is clogged every day they make sure to never detour
