single people have wealth comparable to world superpowers less than 60 years ago. if that doesn't make you want to build a guillotine, I don't know what will.

these people LITERALLY brag about how little taxes they pay

Lizards...they’re just little dudes

Sometimes depending on where you live you can just go outside and there’ll be a little dude there, scurrying

[ex0skeletal-undead]

Just a little dude can you believe this

[ex0skeletal-undead]

oh my god i didn’t even think about their little bones

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

i know we're all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we're coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don't want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

this is what we mean when we say "capitalism prevents innovation" in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can't do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it's not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it's how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they're doing is bad.

Ha ha there were news stories about biodegradable eco-friendly plastic alternatives when I was a child in the NINETIES. That’s thirty years we knew how to do that and are still using the oil-based plastic for most things. Thirty years since I heard someone say we would have straws and trash bags and pens made of this cool new decomposing stuff. Maybe it had some problems, but still, thirty years that it could have been used for SOMETHING and not a peep about it, because yeah, corporations, against what should be the natural order, pretty much all have the power to decide when their services are obsolete rather than be rendered obsolete by healthy competition and consumer choice.

When I was in the 4th grade (around 1996-7) I had a teacher who had an electric car. A full ass electric car. It was GM's EV1. Now there are a lot of stories out there about why this car was recalled (if you don't know, look into it, it's a pretty fucked up thing that happened) and I'm not going to claim to know the truth.

But I do know that my teacher loved that car, that he was willing to pay full price for that car, that he payed all his payments on time, that he begged to keep the car, and that one day when we were in class he looked out the window and ran out because his car was being towed off. It was taken to Arizona and crushed like all the other EV1's, and it leaves you asking a whole lot of questions that were never answered.

So yeah, fuck capitalism.

P.S. also the reason he managed to keep it so long was because he kept not parking at his house and just making the payments. Eventually they found him out, but he fought tooth and nail.

That teacher also installed in me a love of spiders.

Lmao, this was in response to me calling them out on not actually answering the question on why they haven't already adopted or fostered a child but using strawman arguments and red herrings. Probably because they know they are a hypocrite for not being ready for a child for whatever reason(s) and wanting to force other people who aren't ready for a child to have a child. Can anyone find where they actually answered a single question of mine? Because I sure as hell can't. Buddy's gotta stop lying out here.

I really hope this person learns that life isn't black and white and that they need to be compassionate towards others before they get someone killed.

[enchantingsoldier]

@biblicallyfeminine you're a hypocritical idiot

Boutta say smthn mean but afabs makin posts about how they don’t read theory or literature or engage with reading complex topics cuz “it’s all just common sense to care about people” is absolutely tied directly to the way that they then get indoctrinated by TERFs by like. hatereading 1 fucking radfem blog for too long. because TERFs have done their research and have their sources and statistics and their journals and their historic documents on hand (partly because trans people are an entire category of humans simply living our lives while TERFs are a specific culty fascist political hate group with a specific set of goals and beliefs, so you might follow 20 trans people and see very little in the way of loud trans rights activism because we simply don’t devote our entire life to fighting for our rights whereas a TERF blog is going to be devoted fulltime to the political stances of trans exclusionary radical feminism, and even cryptos will have the dog whistles EVERYWHERE if you are educated enough to catch them), and it’s all hateful skewed bullshit meant to manipulate people into furthering the marginalization of a vulnerable oppressed group, but it’s unironically the first actual theory on privilege and oppression that 75% of these people have read and they have not actually put tangible thought into the oppression that trans people face so suddenly that radfem article about The Scientific Proof Of Sex Based Oppression, Medical Transition As A Tool For Misogyny, And How Trans Women Are Behind It All sounds real impressive.

[rivetgoth]

The reality is that a lot of people end up in this area of the internet where being a leftist is like, the default and they have this weird mindset that’s like “I don’t need to engage in in-depth conversations or critically analyze myself or research statistics or read about experiences that arent my own because of COURSE I support minorities!” but the thing is, when a group of people are actively being marginalized and oppressed supporting them is not some easy neutral default. There is going to be opposition from every side and the scary thing with TERFs in particular is that, unlike the open cruelty of conservative republican types that make it EASY to disagree with them, most TERFs also wrap up their language in leftist rhetoric so they are very good at breaking down walls you’ve built by using the same rhetoric as you and finding “common ground“ with you. And quite frankly if you are not directly impacted by TERFs and have not actually spent the time building up empathy and understanding and actual knowledge about trans people and WHY their opposition is so vile and evil then you are going to be susceptible to falling for their sweet talk.

Also it is not to be ignored and is in fact very relevant that I have seen a million times over trans women (especially TWOC) get ignored or yelled at for speaking up on social media because the same exact type of afabs that would eventually get indoctrinated by 1 eloquent radfem with half a dozen skewed statistics bitched at them for being “too wordy” and not dumbing down what they were saying to make it more accessible or for wording things “nicer” in their posts lol.

[rivetgoth]

I’m just sooo pissed off at how often I see people (always tme people) go “hmm actually I used to hate TERFs but now I see they make good points” when those same people spent years going “lol punch TERFs they’re smelly! Of course transphobia is bad!!” but you can just fucking tell that these people have not critically engaged with ANYTHING regarding trans rights or transmisogyny or why TERFs are actually damaging. They treated supporting trans people as a default that they didn’t have to be critical or thoughtful about and the second it was questioned by people with more power than any trans person they buckled. And TERF rhetoric is soooo good at convincing cis girls and to some extent really all afabs that they should care more about their own victim complex than other marginalized people (namely trans women, especially nonwhite trans women), and it feels really good to feel sorry for yourself while punching down at people with less than you. It’s much easier and more immediately gratifying than actually making an effort to care about other people.

I reported a racist manager to hr for making a slavery joke at my expense. "Somehow" that information became available to the whole store and I was retaliated against by my co workers and management for a month and a half.

It was effecting my health so I quit. I posted about it on fb and it's going viral now because the store is very popular.

Not sure if I want to post it here yet. I did all the adult things you are supposed to do (paper work and eeoc stuff) but I'm really upset. I hate that I had to do any of this in the first place.

a helpful tutorial

I was taking with my friend about good omens and we were wondering how the hell aziraphale-as-crowley managed to get into that bath without getting his socks wet and so I drew this ‘helpful’ guide.

I like to imagine that all the demons had to just awkwardly stand around watching him clamber around getting into this bathtub… @neil-gaiman can you confirm?

[neil-gaiman]

This is even better than the people trying to get Good Omens cancelled on Netflix. I might confirm it when I stop laughing.

[alaska-riversong]

I have been thinking about this scene a lot and while I appreciate the OP’s version as well as the very fine illustration, I can’t help but slightly disagree.  I have always seen Crowley stand at the foot edge of the tub, raise his arms dramatically, falling backward in slow motion with an evil grin on his face, making a massive splash like the dramatic bitch that he is.  It took a minor miracle to not get his socks wet, but it was worth it.  Now I need an illustration of the entry I described for comparison…. for science of course.

[plantichu]

a comparison! (for science, of course)

[joddit-y]

…okay, but can we consider this option? for arguments sake?

ignore that i ordered it backwards

[neil-gaiman]

I imagined a lot of things while we were making Good Omens. I never ever once imagined this thread.

for your Consideration: reverse umbrellas. as soon as u open them they start raining all over u but everything around u is dry. thank you for ur time this was my ted ta

why stop there….. you find this umbrella for a weirdly low price at a yard sale being run by a person wearing a shitty wizards hat. the label says FOR “WEATHER” and when you ask what that means they pretend not to hear you

you try to return it the next day but the entire plot of land has become an applebees. there hasnt been a yard there in almost 30 years, the waitress tells you
