I've discovered the worst game in human history. I call it Dog Toy Or Sex Toy, who wants in

[autisticexpression]

How would this even be challenging? Are there dick-shaped chew toys?

Somewhere I saw a post that was like, "any state can turn blue if enough people vote."

This is very true. And with so much at stake here, you shouldn't assume that people won't turn out in droves to vote blue even in red states.

Project 2025/Agenda 47 isn't the kind of thing that normal, everyday Republicans actually want. Trumpers are a weird bunch. As we raise more awareness, your Republican swing voter types are going to be like, "hey uh, wait, this isn't what I want" and a lot of them are going to start eyeing Harris.

So even if you live in a red state, don't assume that your vote is meaningless. Do not. For one minute. Assume this.

I had a conversation with this guy who was like "I am voting for Trump because I don't support defunding the police."

And I was like...what do you think about increased funding for mental health to prevent situations escalating to police? And he's like oh I agree with that.

And I was like...what do you think of better training for police in deescalation? And he's like oh I definitely support that.

What about a database to document police misconduct, subject to due process? Oh yes I also support that.

I basically went on and he agreed with everything, including demilitarization, and I was like...I just read you Biden's platform on police reform and what he has been doing. And that's the whole thing...there is no total defunding of the police.

And he was like, oh, wow.

This is what we need to do. People just need to know what they're voting for. Most people are moderates. The Democrats' platform is moderate. The Republican platform is extremist. People just need to know what the politicians are actually calling for and they will make a reasonable choice. Republicans only win if they keep people in the dark. We need to get the information out there.

I just felt these tags were too important not to add @blacksasuke

[augustdementhe]

The particular segment of medical racism that says ‘Black people are built tougher’ is a great example of why ‘positive’ stereotypes don’t exist.

Adding your tags, prev, cause.. yeah.

I swear to god raspberries get moldy so fuckin fast you just look at them wrong and they immediately go bad

[sabertoothwalrus]

2 for 1 sale of raspberries at the grocery store:

first pack: downed as soon as you got home

second pack: you only ate four out the pack the next day because you were trying not to be as much of a goblin and you want them to last longer except when you check it later that day half of them are covered in mold

[sabertoothwalrus]

wow,,,,, that’s so valid

[transarsonist]

Thank you berry farmer for your berry knowledge

[all-hail-trash-prince]

So what you’re saying is… Downing an entire container in one sitting is actually the correct way to eat raspberries

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Everything I have read about Raspberry Vines indicates to me that they would very much prefer you to go absolutely hog wild on their berries. Restraint is for Civilized folk.

[elodieunderglass]

Also if you grow your own, a thing that people don’t usually talk about is the Raspberry Worms. You pick some raspberries, maybe wash them, set them aside on the counter for a few minutes, and when you turn around they’re vibing with tiny, raspberry-module-sized white larval things.

Various critters are the cause of this, from a kind of infesting fruit fly whose larva burrow into fresh strawberries (and then pop out to say “Peekaboo!”) indicating a bad outbreak year, to just a normal amount of larva from the raspberry fruitworm beetle. All organic or wild berries to some extent have a likelihood of passengers, but raspberries are the most consistent in my experience. Freshly picked raspberries, with their distinctive cup shape, are often just a house for a little guy! And you normally won’t spot it when you’re picking them (which doesn’t make a difference, they needed picking anyway) but the minute you turn your back the critters all emerge from their raspberry houses, inquiring about the change in their real estate circumstances.

The best thing to do if you notice this is to pour water in the bowl, add vinegar, stir through and look away. We shall draw the veil of graciousness across what you will see floating to the top. Rinse through a strainer/colander a few times and remind yourself that every berry you purchase has either done this or been so soaked in poison that they didn’t need it, and both are freaky. (Actually radiation or other sterilisers can sometimes be used too! Not as scary as you’d think.)

Thankfully most things that live on berries don’t have any taste at all. I hate when people joke about “extra protein” like LOTS OF THINGS ARE PROTEIN IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY’re GOOD. If your raspberry worms tasted bitter, you would stop eating raspberries forever. But they taste like absolutely nothing and are harmless, so you’ll never know.

In conclusion, eat fresh organic or foraged ones straight off the cane (raspberries grow on a fruiting structure called canes, rather than rambling on brambles, like blackberries - that’s one way to tell the difference!) or take them home and rinse them in vinegar without looking. Shop bought ones will be sanitized so that you’ll never ever hear about it. But a raspberry does require either quick eating or the ability to draw a veil over it.

I dunno man all I'm saying is that the right wing doesn't need nearly enough convincing just to vote as the left does

Republicans just say "Biden is destroying America, we have to stop him" and the right wing says "okie dokie" and shows up to fucking vote for every republican on the ballot

Meanwhile the rest of us are out here giving civics lessons on how congress works and why Biden can't just Do A Thing, separation of powers, write laundry lists of all the good things Biden and Democrats have done, remind people of all the shit trump pulled, actual tables comparing Biden and trump policies, on and on,

and the left is just like "😡 both parties are the same" or "but Biden didn't do enough / did this thing I didn't like!" and stay home

And it's like

This is literally why america has such right wing policies, because you don't fucking show up every election

The center and the left showed up in the UK and France and unified and got out of each other's ways because they knew they had to defeat the right and they voted

Holy fucking shit why do we have to go through this every election to tell you just to show up and fucking vote you shouldn't need this much convincing to just vote

Tradwives need to realize the seriousness of the shit they are getting themselves into.

The society isn't all that kind to women.
