I have the monologue, but almost no visual imagination. I got an art degree, and was low key pissed when I realized my classmates were being literal when they said shit like "I just draw what I see in my head"
Like "you fuckers see shit in there? That'd make things way easier."
@poisonjr
I know one person who insists "I just call everyone dude." He doesn't tho, so I tell him not to call me that
I know another who reflexively apologizes when she calls me dude. Buts I've seen her call cis women dude for years, so I tell her it's fine.
@jordanbpeterson
Its wild that your whole thing is giving life advice, but you can't even stop compulsively posting without help from your staff, who - based on how much you've posted since saying this - also can't help you.
@getfiscal
"A long long time ago"
Fucking when?
"In a galaxy far far away"
Roughly how fucking far?
For something we supposedly know definitely happened, it's believers seem awfully foggy on key details right from the start. The evidence is so flimsy!
@OneFeIISwoop
Smaller workforce, and not enough people to take care of the elderly.
Frequently those valid bits get used to prop up wierd ethnonationalist lines, but a shrinking workforce with a large elderly population is still a real problem.
@xychelsea
I literally learned to draw so I could look at the weird shit my stupid brain just kinda describes.
Other people are really just looking at stuff while it's still in their brain, without having to make anything.
Infuriating.
@postingwhilegay
I grew up in a church that focused on the "help poor people" bits of the bible and didn't really care if I believed in God az long as I believed in helping the poor. As a result, I thought christianity was mosty cool. Devastating how much is like this instead.
@WhackNicholson
Or, on the poorer end of things, it means your family has kids early.
Your dad's dad's dad is you're great grandfather. I have a few friends who could tell the story of that guy seeing them graduate high school.
@TrashPandaGirl
The short answer is the Holocaust.
Israel works very hard to maintain the popular belief that opposing Israel is exactly the same as opposing Jewish people existing. Basically evoking the Holocaust and suggesting opposition to Israel is advocating for it to happen again.
@polishXcellence
It's crazy how many people act like you're a Trump supporter if you don't agree that obviously Trump is the worst president in American history.
The guy is straight up evil, but we had an even more evil guy *in my lifetime*.
@bonobomindset
@OneFeIISwoop
Unfortunately the ones who did that are not the ones who will be hurt by the lack of people to take care of them, because, ya know... they have all the money.
@lakeeater
Political movements resemble religions because many religions function at least in large part as political movements.
Always seemed dumb to feel like that's a meaningful strike against Marxism.
@Polygon
It would benefit the article (and readers) to be clearer about the US blockade being the reason for poor internet access in Cuba, because people will assume it's due to the Cuban government.
@DiabolicalSpuds
Yeah, to the extent that it's "child abuse" it's being done at the societal level.
We know there are children in poor households. Help them or shut up. Shaming their mom is not helping her, them, or anyone else.

@biggestjoel
The families of the hostages have asked these Israeli government to do the exchange.
The rest of their "supporters" seem not to be into that idea mostly, and the government certainly isn't.
@TheWapplehouse
I feel like given 1000 guesses I *might* get it, cause after like 20 or so you just gotta start pulling wildly unlikely possibilities out of your ass.
Rewatched a couple times cause it felt like something I'd missed *must* have hit him. Truly, what a magical world we live in.
@AlpacaAurelius
"from us"
Nah, this is rich people stuff. It was never for "us"
If it was for you, you're in a tiny minority, and I promise the rest of us don't care what you've lost. We should take more.
@NotPotBol
It's not even that I agree with everything he says, it's that his most dedicated haters only ever post things he's completely right about as examples of why he's supposedly so awful.
@NikaMelkozerova
So it's the attempted communism that ended 3 decades ago that's making you ear 3 dollars an hour, and not the capitalism of the decades since? ๐ค
@Rachad81169378
1) do you not see how a particular chunk of land that isn't yours is weirder to put there than a globe that just shows every landmass visible at that angle?
2) the US doesn't exactly not heavily meddle with most of the countries encompassed there anyway.

If you're not doing the killing, you're part of the support structure that keeps the killing running smoothly.
You think God said you should help destroy nations that did nothing to you so you could get free school?
@Lefty_Jew
Man, I'm not the most well read on China (working on that) but I really don't think you could convince me our government is better than theirs.
It's crazy that Americans mostly buy the notion that China is the great evil force in the world.

Imperialism is when you don't lose a civil war. You're a very smart person.
What's the funky shape on they emblem, bud? Why's it look like that?
i was on tumblr when yahoo had to sell it for $3 million after buying it for $1.1 billion. we were all a little bit responsible for losing yahoo a billion dollars. and with that type of collective effort, i believe we here on twitter can lose elon musk even more

@poisonjr
Exactly! You can use any traditionally masculine word for me as long as you're observably in the habit of actually using it for everyone. If you aren't, then fuck off with that, especially if you try and tell me you do when you definitely don't. Simple as.
@SwampCommunist
Dude's a music critic who made his name on 4chan.
Keeping that in mind, it's kinda amazing that he's not way worse.
He's pretty much a normal lib, maybe slightly more progressive ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The leftist appreciation for Castroโs Cuba is deeply weird. I donโt even mean the tankies, I mean generic socialists acting like a country that sent gays to the gulag is โsuccessful socialismโ.
@poisonjr
Like, if you really, genuinely, actually do call *everyone* dude, it's fine by me (doesn't mean it needs to be fine by anyone else, but that the standard I use).
I pay attention, though, and if you don't call all the women you know dude, I'll call you on your bullshit excuse.
@polishXcellence
In every other case, a fertilized egg is morally equal to a fully formed conscious human, but God knows when it's rape or incest, so he doesn't give those babies souls. That's why it's okay. ๐

We killed a fifth of the North Korean population, bombed civilian centers, and leveled almost every multi-story building.
China did not "adopt" the DPRK, and opposing the US carrying out a genocide is good, actually.

@OneFeIISwoop
No, I think the problem is that they can't, and given how likely people are to become varying degrees of disabled as they become older many also cannot continue working, so they will just die.
I don't recall saying more people would retire.
@MsBlaireWhite
Do you mean the game where he played the "they're gonna play tricks cause of my views" card the day before a story that definitely wasn't written in a day came out?
@zlingerrr
It rocks that when millenials complain about the economy we're often told basically "your parents will die soon, and then you'll inherit their wealth."
1 - I'm just broadly not jazzed on my parents dying.
2 - They don't have anything either.

@LolOverruled
It's cause the holocaust is how people convince themselves it was okay to give Palestine to Jewish folks from Europe.
That reasoning gets way messier if they were trying to take it any earlier than that.
@Srirachachau
Walt did a lot of terrible shit, but causing the plane crash is silly to pin on him, and it annoyed me that the show pushed that framing.
Letting the girl die in front of him is on walt. Her dad going back to his air traffic control job before he was fit to is not.

You can be non-binary in CoD Cold War, and the fanbase got mad at the time, because "CoD was never supposed to be political".
@irockgnomes
Civ is a game I'll open and then play a turn or two here and there between other tasks I'm doing on the computer, so sometimes it'll be open all day and I'll only have really played for around an hour total.
Is she like that, or has she really played that much?
