I feel like so much of basic online/offline social etiquette can be summed up like this; Other people exist and like different things from you, and that is a right you have to respect.

you punch nazis!

autism is not a horrible disease that ruins lives and tears apart families. elon musk, who is autistic and an evil billionaire who doesn't pay taxes, has ruined thousands of lives, and whose family hates him, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted

I think people let JK Rowling's transphobia define her too much, we need to acknowledge her other aspects.

She's also a racist, antisemitic, and a Holocaust denier, we can't forget that!

So, my iPod does this fucking genius factory thing where it forgets which artwork goes with which album and it makes guesses. Because it’s pretty sure I won’t notice.

Needless to say, I noticed.

whatever else you have to say about katy perry i do have to say "do you ever feel like a plastic bag" is maybe one of the all time funniest ways to start a song

coworker born after the 90’s didn’t know cool story bro was a meme and then called me unc. lol I think I need to kill him

if you want to protect kids you have to come to terms with the fact that it's just expected that kids will experience a baseline level of gaslighting every day of their lives. children are just straight-up not trusted as narrators of their own lives and experiences, and it's taken for granted that nothing they say will be true without the verification of an adult. of fucking course kids are so vulnerable. who is gonna believe them.

I like to collect headlines that read like a time traveler’s last desperate gambit at fixing reality

at the risk of beating a long dead horse. i just. there were MANY valid reasons to dislike kamala harris as a politician and i do understand why a lot of people were not thrilled to have her as the democratic nominee. but at the end of the day, everyone understood that only one of two things would happen after the election: either she would win or trump would. that's IT. there was never going to be a revolution that took the corrupt system down overnight, or a miraculous reformation of the electoral college that allowed [insert your preferred 3rd party candidate here] to win at the last second. it was always, always, ALWAYS going to be her or him, and most of the people who refused to vote for her on moral grounds frankly should've known that.

and here's the thing. i think most of them DID know that, they just expected her to win - and, let's be honest, WANTED her to win, not because they actually wanted her in office, but because anyone with a brain could see she was still the lesser evil to trump. (if you come on this post with "both parties/candidates are the same" bullshit, i will block you because frankly at this point there is no getting through to you, at least not for me.) i think a lot of leftists who hated her policies (again, often for valid reasons) decided they could afford to not vote because they expected everyone else to get their hands dirty and vote her in. they expected her to win, and trump to be gone, and then they could stay on their high horse and feel good that they didn't have to compromise.

except everyone else didn't vote her in. and now we're stuck with trump for the next 4 years. and now our best hope for the next election is probably someone who will start to clean up his mess rather than implement any major progressive policies, because that takes longer than 4 years, and it also takes having people in congress who will work with you.

and obviously the real blame here lies with the people who voted for the fascist, and the fascist himself, and the system that protects him. i'm not denying that. but i do really feel like a lot of the leftist non-voters took a gamble and it backfired really fucking hard.

the world would be a really different place right now if pink pony club had dropped during the height of brony fandom

Lol, good stuff.

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

"you need to take responsibility for your illness. You need to find something to make it easier for me to deal with your problems. You can't burden others with your issues, be productive."

Hey maybe if people were understanding of disabled people I wouldn't have to find a way for you to navigate around my illness. Maybe if we weren't automatically considered useless this wouldn't be a problem

i regret nothing

I hope every minute of this pathetic cunt’s life is haunted by the decisions he’s made. He deserves no rest, and no sleep.
