They turn the frickin' frogs gay.

I'd like it better if its entire existence couldn't literally be a prop in a dystopia novel. Ruthlessly exploiting malnourished cows and their calves, watered down to pad profits, jugged in plastic, extorting ungodly amounts of land and water resources, sold by a corporation that has a bigger bottom line than most sovereign nations, sold to the impoverished and brainwashed masses that fuel the very destruction of the only planet we fucking have. That, and it's 2%. Whole milk or no milk, and I will die on that hill.

Karens are to feminism what scabs are to labor.

We need more people like this on the planet.

Worst crash I ever had on a bike was during a commute to work. It was winter and it was dark in the morning, and the bridge over the river had gotten icy. I hit my brake and slid, went straight into the retaining wall on the embankment, headfirst over my handlebars. I'm fucking lucky I was wearing my helmet. Ended up putting a decorative bandage over the scuff on the helmet shell where I would have split my head open. It looked gnarly. I got a new helmet first thing as soon as I got my next paycheck. Kept it on a shelf for a while.

I've been hit by cars before on my bicycle. Six times. You know what it was, every single time? The driver was turning right, and looking for oncoming traffic from the left. I tried to cross, and didn't know they hadn't seen me. Ran over my front tire, or just knocked me over. I'm damn lucky those were all extremely slow speed collisions and they stopped as soon as they heard me scream. But honestly? Fuck cars. I shouldn't have been forced to cross at the sidewalk to begin with. And they should have been looking for pedestrians anyway.

Flag football was meant to replace tackle football. Rather than stopping the ball being based on takedowns, the players wear a belt with flags on their hips. If an opposing player yanks a flag off the belt, that's where the stop is counted. Oh, but nooooo, it's not manly and powerful and warrior-like enough. So it never really got popular outside of high school gym class.

Speaking as an American, from my understanding, it’s supposed to be a lighthearted tease. No one’s being seriously malicious about a Southern English accent on this side of the pond. That said, having coached friends in the UK on American accents before for theater and voice acting and other things, I do have a legitimate question. Understand, I hope this is of no offense to you. But why is it the only two accents most Brits can do are Texan and Boston?

Child emergencies, family emergencies, pet emergencies, personal medical emergencies, household emergencies… I mean, yeah, if shit is happening at home, everyone should have the right to go take care of it, child-related or not. If I were a boss, and someone said, “I need to go home, it’s urgent,” I’d shoo them out the door and reassign their task no matter what the nature of the emergency was. Unless they ‘urgently’ need to stand in line to buy a video game. That isn’t an emergency.

Four day weekends for everyone, and three months of vacation time too. Yes. Flexibility for everyone. Unironically, this is not a bad idea.

Cannot upvote this enough. Bruce Lee is a treasure to humankind.

36th Chamber of Shaolin is awesome!

Wow. That is clever wordplay. Thanks for that, I never would have picked up on it. 👍

When I was a kid, I fell asleep on a camping trip after eating way too much candy, and a relative got a picture of me with a humming bird examining my mouth. Literally, "Honk, shoooo, mimimimi..." I was so bummed out that I missed it.

You are assuming that capitalists will actually think that far ahead.

Eh-hem. NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF.

Speaking as a punk, it’s about keeping a community a healthy, welcoming place for the 99% of people who aren’t assholes. There’s a reason why we say ‘Nazi punks fuck off.’ It’s not just a slogan or part of a song, it’s a declaration that this house will not be used as a gathering place for people who want to tear it down.

Pear Launcher is nice. Fossify Home is good, too. I prefer Pear since it lets you use icon themes.

So, the prior comment about the woman who raised a pet beaver… lemme guess, every time she takes a shower, by the time she opens the door, every non-stationary object in the house has been dragged in front of the bathroom door.

Brothers, I am AFAB, and this picture still reminds me of one of my most infuriating roommates. Trust me, she’d annoy me a little too.

Seriously?? That’s the price of FIFA’s bribe? Not, idk, “Call off your ICE ghouls at the next match, because we need to sell tickets?”

You know… there’s a Space Hippies AI Personality mod on Steam. It’s actually really funny.
