I was straight up jorkin it, but I sent my balls into a sand trap.

Do you think it’s okay for us to bomb people because I can say on the internet that we shouldn’t bomb people?

China doesn’t call themselves “the leader of the free world” or “a shining city on a hill”. Sure, freedom of speech is generally better in the US than China (but don’t think that nobody ever gets put in jail for criticizing the government.) The fact remains that the US kills a lot of people.

I’m not Chinese. I can’t affect Chinese policy at all. I focus on the US because my voice is supposed to matter here, allegedly.

Friendly reminder that prisons are a profitable business. There are relatively few private prisons, but companies like Sysco make a ton of money from public prisons and prisoners are leased out as slaves too.

He must have been bullied terribly.

The interesting thing about the furor over trans people existing is that 90% of any harm, real or imagined, stems from mistreatment of people. Conservatives treat trans people badly (supposedly) due to mental issues that are caused by the way conservatives treat trans people.

How dare you tell people our policies are killing them l.

If your interstellar society has slavery, I’m not interested. Didn’t the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?

Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren’t much better, if they’re better at all.)

The meme is from TOS. Not as many people died in the newer ones.

A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors

Not that anyone should feel obligated to shave their head, but one major thing is that his hair is literally his livelihood. He may be under contract not to change his appearance, and shaving one’s head (especially at that age) might do permanent damage.

I doubt that Dave would want John to shave his head. But they’re good friends, and our opinion from the sidelines doesn’t really matter that much.

Isn’t shaving one’s head an “empty performative stunt”? It doesn’t provide any benefit to the cancer patient.

If my calculations are correct, this car is smaller than a football field.

I dunno, friend. Maybe the title doesn’t contain the entire contents of the book.

This is my new favorite conspiracy theory. Thank you.

Zero. That’s just not a thing the President can do.

The fish are hardcore. None have used it yet

That’s the problem with electoralism. Too many people just figure they can turn in a piece of paper every 2-4 years and that will save us from fascism.

I believe in voting as harm reduction, but nobody is coming to save us.

You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

I know Christians have done a lot of damage, and the evil ones are incredibly loud. It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

“Do you think about self harm?”

"Just the normal amount "

“The normal amount is zero.”

“Oh…”

British food made Englishmen the best sailors in the world.

SFW furry? There’s kinda no such thing.

You realize that you’re the one sexualizing them, right?

There absolutely are people who have a fursona or participate in the fandom in completely SFW ways. A fursona tells you exactly nothing about their sexual preferences. Honestly you sound exactly like homophobes insisting that two boys holding hands is obscene. Just because you equate a fursona with sex doesn’t mean that every furry thinks the same way.

The party of Identity politics.

People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don’t really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people’s lives more difficult for no reason.
