Always fun to watch people find out about Hobby Lobby smuggling thousands of looted historical artefacts from the Middle East (x) and 'United States of America v. Approximately Four Hundred Fifty Ancient Cuneiform Tablets and Approximately Three Thousand Ancient Clay Bullae' (x)

Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.

I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.

It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"

I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.

But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON

LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR

Isn’t gathering a social behaviour?

[scavengedluxury]

It turns out being sociable is antisocial when landlords collude with the police to get public amenities taken away from working class people to boost property values under the guise of fighting crime. There are already virtually no public toilets left in this country, now people can’t sit unless they pay to use a cafe or pub. Old people and the disabled have it bad enough already without this.

[artistic-arteries]

“design out crime” because making a park less pleasant for people to be in definitely makes it less perfect to deal drugs in, since drug dealers love crowded locations with lots of people.

wHy DoN’t KiDs PlAy OuTsIdE aNyMoRe! BaCk In My DaY…..

Because public spaces are being routinley dismatled day by day. There used to be at least three or four play parks within walking distance of my home. Only one remains, and the rest have been dismantled and leave behind only depressing barren concrete rectangles, sprinkled with broken bottles, in the middle of an empty field, where nobody but ‘anti-social youths’ go, because there’s nothing to do.

The problem isn’t that these spaces are encouraging ‘anti-social behaviour’. ‘Anti-social behaviour’ is always going to exist to some extent. But do you know what is going to cause ‘anti-social behaviour’ to increase? Living in a barren shithole with nothing to do because the council/government/police has dismatled and taken away LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN PUBLIC SPACES.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

Gathering is anti-social behavior because when people get together, they start bonding and comparing notes and getting ideas on ways society might improve, which would threaten those that benefit from a status quo. Hence the destruction of children’s spaces (and subsequent destruction of adult spaces for “the sake of children” but really the sake of ads"), the destruction of teenage spaces, and the destruction of third spaces. You will all be alone and atomized and easily digested.

Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on

[gripes-withthesun]

An experience that made me feel much more assured in my friendships was at college, a friend and myself were talking about a third friend of ours and how cool and knowledgeable and smart she is and how we feel like we could never be that cool. The next day I was working with a professor on some paper presentations we were about to have and when I came out of the staff room I was informed that these two aforementioned friends were having the same discussion about me. And it turns out we spent a lot of time thinking about our friends who aren’t currently in the room and gushing over how cool and smart and talented they are without being able to say all of it to their face.

Your friends secretly love you a lot more than they already express, just like you love them so intensely that saying it all to their faces would sound clumsy to your own ears. It’s true though

[vmohlere]

I’ve had more than one friend say “no, listen to me for one second: you are literally and actually one of my favorite people, I enjoy your presence in my life” and if that won’t rock a foundation …

It’s so good to be loved.

[subversivegrrl]

“Loved” is something I take for granted, but “one of my favorite people” is like. Oh surely not. I mean there are so many other people? And I’m just. Me

[valtsv]

one of the most frustrating ways i've found you can be misunderstood is when people think you're horny about the things you're just weirdly fascinated by and weirdly fascinated by the things you're horny about

[valtsv]

"omg is this like a fetish for you or something 😅🤣" NOT EVERYTHING IS A FETISH!!! "you have such interesting hobbies" no uh . that one is a fetish actually.

the way prehistoric animal documentaries will talk about extinction like it happens because of “a failure to evolve” as though evolution is a meritocracy is so funny and so scary

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

this species persisted over the eons because of its Protestant work ethic to produce more of a specific kind of digestive enzyme that allowed it to extract 4% more nutrients from the dominant plant species in the area
