Got to let them run around

  • Rust Cohle sees you and has a vision about the vast emptiness of space, where he realizes that life has no meaning and time just repeats endlessly in an inescapable loop. He numbs himself every night trying to forget you, but he can’t escape the gravity of your memory. He’s pulled under the darkness, like a crashing ocean wave, and he’s drowning, over and over, in the inky blackness. He realizes you’re trans five years later, after everything he loves is dead, because he’s the only one who can.

  • Would you use the term “bitch” when talking about dogs? Or just say female dog to avoid being misunderstood? It used to be used that way, but now you’re going to sound like an asshole if you use it.

    Once people start using a technical term as a slur, it gets tainted by that additional meaning. You can’t forcefully separate the technical term from the slur. If you don’t want people to think you’re throwing around slurs, you need to find a new word to use.

    Don't blame the people hurt by the slurs, blame the assholes who misused the word so often that they fucked up its meaning.

  • Leaky bags
  • Downvoting isn’t for disagreement. If you think the conversation is valuable you can upvote for visibility while disagreeing in a comment. This is important subject matter that needs to be hashed out!

  • Can you read the ancient glyphs
  • Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.

  • ‘They call us Nazis’: inside the wealthy German town where the far right is on the rise
  • If it’s popular in Germany, given by a German parent to a German child and based on a Hebrew root word, I’d argue it’s a German name as much as it is Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian.

    It’s all semantics though, I assumed your original question was about how common the name was in Germany, not about its linguistic roots. It seems fairly common. If you’re looking for a deep dive on the history of the name I’ll let you do your own research because I honestly don’t give a shit and you’re being kind of rude.

  • ‘They call us Nazis’: inside the wealthy German town where the far right is on the rise
  • Wikipedia says the root is Hebrew. So…. a European name? Seems pretty popular in Germany.

  • In Norway it is required by law to apply a standardized label to all advertising in which body shape, size, or skin is altered through retouching or other manipulation.
  • Maybe it would be more useful if it was like a chemical hazard label. Add symbols for what kind of alterations were done, i.e skin texture removed 🫥, body shape changed 🧍‍♀️, teeth whitened 😬, etc…

  • And now you get the bad ending
  • I love the way Fallout 2 (maybe also 1, it’s been forever and I can’t recall) changes your dialogue options if you have low intelligence. It’s like a whole other game.

  • Dad is full of surprises
  • I read it as Dad told the cop why he was going so fast, and cop thought it was funny and decided to help him win. Not totally unrealistic; cops get bored and hate paperwork, and love breaking the law.

  • cheugy af
  • It’s VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. I’m acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but I’m forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.

    bro and bear chillin in a hot tub... we don't need no hassle!
  • This is the world feminists want. Dude is happy, bear is happy, lady is hiking without being attacked.

  • A bit late
  • Your condescending tone and weird insistence that we only talk about very specific topics in very specific ways makes me think you’re not interested in a good faith discussion at all.

    You seem upset, so I won’t push any more. Hope you feel better soon!

  • A bit late
  • What aspect of your post are you interested in discussing? I found your assertion that the fear was irrational interesting, but if that’s off-limits we can talk about some other part…

  • A bit late
  • Ok. If you don’t want to discuss why post?

  • I don't need any of that in my silly little life at all
  • I’m certainly not arguing that the US’s behavior in this case is good, I’m just not seeing the connection to fascism.

    Authoritarianism is about a government’s relationship to its own citizens, not its posture towards foreign governments. An authoritarian country can be completely isolationist, like North Korea, or warlike and expansionist like nazi Germany.

    For fascism a hallmark is government capture of business within the country. It can take the form of cooperation like the US’s relationship with BP, but ultimately this kind of cooperation is about fulfilling the totalitarian regime’s goals, not the businesses.

    Primary to fascism is NATIONALISM, like your second quote states. Arguably the US is well down the road to fascism, we have a cult of personality building around Trump, focused on making the US “great again”, demonizing and othering his opposition within the country. If he were to seize power I’d argue we’re there. I just don’t think our colonialist mindset towards other countries is a symptom or indication of fascism. It’s just yet another way we’re a garbage country.

  • Suggestion to make comments more compact

    The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.

    The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).

    The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).

    I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants

    I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

    My bird viewing a birb meme

    I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, here’s a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
