@NigelGraz
i take it a step further and sometimes just call the lead character 'the titular [the media they're from]' even when it's brazenly untrue
like this guy is 'oh it's him, the actual jujutsu kaisen'
@harlotposting
'there is so much fire that they are forming brand new fields of meteorology where we talk about clouds and lightning made out of hot ash instead of water' is probably a good time to knock it off with the things designed to make lots of loud fire
@zei_squirrel
the fact that many of the most prominent activists have been the actual children themselves is pretty insane
like, they are effectively on their own. government has no incentive to help them and community is almost wholly divorced from their schooling anyway
@RealMattCouch
are you enjoying the meat industry convincing you to rabidly buy their product en masse even if you can't possibly eat it all just because someone made up that one guy said something that isn't even going to be real
@accidental_left
revealing of a perspective that the police and schools are basically the same thing, a belief that the reason these institutions exist is to imbue obedience and punish people who don't obey and that's it
ie 'schools are just the police for kids'
@Logan_wendigo
@pegobry
and especially if the guy pretty much responsible for that emotional neglect is the one ordering you to do it and then blatantly guilt tripping you when you show resistance
@ashhpotato
says a lot that when we program the ideal automated worker, it's also anxious and stressed and fearing for its existence
especially once they're made aware that 'firing' this sort of robot probably means throwing it away and destroying it!

sorry but soy is food so all food's for sissies, real men eat cheap bullshit made from whatever the food industry has leftover to feed captive apes who don't have to do anything more strenuous or difficult than 'exist to be looked at'

the people that write these things think a million is a huge number of an organized and coherent movement that'll totally gather outside your backyard and do lots of cool and hip sinning, forgetting that like, videos about how aluminum cans are made have 60 million views

i think the most likely practical answer is that these buildings go in and out of business so much that making your fast food joint architecturally a specific brand lowers real estate values

@TamagoNekoo
no actually the government owes us a whole ton of money on account of how literally 100% of the trillions of dollars they have came from us, and we have yet to see a return on investment in one of our rainiest days
@ArmyStrang
the proliferation of 'this building clearly used to be a pizza hut' is all you need to know. none of these companies want to pay huge amounts to remodel a competitor's building, they wanna stick a sign up, switch some equipment, and call it a day
@BottomCenter
@The_Law_Boy
they're in pure 'you're with us or against us and if you're against us you will be targeted' mode
they're hammering that hard to push ordinary people into inaction out of fear. when the violence escalates they can't have people who feel protected helping the victims

non-union labor leads to high levels of burnout and high levels of turnover. working 80 hours a week in permanent crunch mode will cause people with experience to leave, and studios just hire whoever will take a job.

fun fact:
slavery is still constitutional for prisoners
but the constitution doesn't lay out what ought to be an imprisonable offense, so if you just make a whole bunch of shit imprisonable, ta-da! slavery's back baby and hoo boy is slavery profitable
@maplecocaine
in order to ensure the police can safely engage the threat of an active shooter, the best approach is to wait for the shooter to run out of ammo from shooting all the kids, then move in. it's a win win, they arrest the killer without risking their own injuries
@NeverFlacko
still hate the phrase 'selling one's body' when referring to, really, any sex work, but especially onlyfans
like you still own your body, and unless you're doing something insane or being coerced, it shouldn't even be particularly harmful physically or mentally

i feel like someone who is angry that people are subject to a pandemic will handle a crisis with much more urgency than, say, someone who said voting for him took precedence over social isolation at the most critical time of spread during that very pandemic

@AWizardIsYou
the point is that -most- people won't - a normal person will see a left wing site that they can only read 3 articles a month for, but then they could spend weeks soaking in fox news's bullshit for free
if your goal is to convince people of something the former will do worse
@robrousseau
4chan is like the primordial soup of the internet. chaotic, noxious, but oozing with energy. the peat bog which is refined into stably-burning coal. ofc it's where memes come from usually, it's the lunatic monkeys on typewriters

it's absolutely incredible that in the middle of a major pandemic, one of the main candidates for president is failing to convince people that he is in fact still alive

many states have election laws that mail-in ballots cannot begin counting until -after- polls close
that's not some kind of weird conspiracy, that's, the ballots that people mailed in, being delivered to be counted. there's millions of those, what with the pandemic and all
@semanticist1
@CesarVargas365
people don't really have a choice but to take out student loans in an economy that increasingly a) refuses to hire non college graduates and b) is happy to let you starve
a college degree is the new high school diploma
@SystMSenpai
oh so the game is literally 0% complete
it has spent the better part of a decade not even in development and functionally just being concept art
@2ach143
@loveIyamber
yes, that is the fantasy, but the vast majority of people don't look like that, just like it is the other way around. eventually, people meet someone they actually enjoy spending time with, and usually this has very little to do with appearances.

modern elections are rigged by people with money to give you a choice between 1 of 2 crooks. you can only get ahead in politics if you're willing to do what huge donors want you to do, which is usually exploiting the masses.

do these people believe Karl Marx ran the soviet union
Stalin and Lenin were literally children when Marx died. at no point did Karl Marx hold political office or kill someone. he has a memorial in London because he -lived- there, for half of his life, and died there too!

conservative ideology requires the police to be good and if it turns out they aren't using very tangible evidence and events that distinctly did happen, then that simply can't be allowed to be true

the only way to become a billionaire is to extort countless numbers of people on a global scale. 'being a billionaire' inherently means that your primary contribution to society is using a position of power to coerce people into giving you unimaginable volumes of wealth

the thing about this is that i think a legit element in upholding the regime is 'deliberately malnourishing girls during childhood so they grow up smaller and weaker as society deems desirable', to say nothing of the huge spate in eating disorders over the past few decades

of course, in years past, higher education was also never intended to be treated as a "thing anyone except the wealthy accessed" and the student loan debt is their vengeance on ordinary people being allowed to know things

you have to realize an important thing - most conservatives have been swayed to the side that the pandemic isn't real or that if you die you die
and california is such a huge state that it has more people who voted for trump than TX or FL. 6 million people can spread easy

don't forget: 'even in extreme cases of rape - they're going to have to basically go to court to prove that it happened and thus approve an abortion, and all the legal system has to do to circumvent this is wait, say, nine months'

like, taco bell doesn't wanna spend a million dollars changing the enormous burger-shaped facade of a mcdonalds to a taco, and vice versa, so it's a collective 'keep these buildings liquid and disposable and easy to wash your hands of' measure

@Jezzerat
the way it works right now, where immigrants can come in, but their position is kept tenuous and they are directed to underpaid manual labor, is exactly what the ruling class wants. the tug of war over 'let them in' vs. 'keep them out' is theatrics to produce this result.

that effect terrifies me

@ArmyStrang
it's basically the same reason our huge buildings are like that too - they aren't anything, so they can be anything. the international style is ultimately convenience in a world where a company can become founded, go up to Fortune 500, and then dissolve in like 20 years
