If you had shown me this site in 2005 I would have asked you if had checked your virus software lately, because this looks like a bad one. I would have clicked away so fast it would give you whiplash. Looking at these sites now, I have to convince myself that they aren't virus laden sites and fight against the pavlovian urge to just navigate away.

[eclecticmasterpiece]

I navigate away anyways because fuck them, there's usually a better site (though they are dwindling quickly). I still can't get over how the internet "as intended" today looks like a malware ridden fever dream from 20 years ago. This is every story I've ever read about an empire that used to be great and has now fallen into turmoil.

Beloveds, there is a wonderful website that gets rid of all that crap<3

[isthatluked]

There is also Copymethat.com

Will do the same thing as justtherecipe, has a ap for Android and can make shopping list and meal plans from the recipes you save.

"That sounds like a good idea......."-"Is there something bothering you with the idea?"-"No, the idea is GOOD.....🙂"

[biteswhenprovoked]

Can someone explain this to me?

[cop-disliker69]

Old people use quotation marks to indicate emphasis, as a substitute for italics (which many of them could not produce on the old typewriters they learned to write on), whereas young people use them to indicate sarcasm or falseness. They’re used as “scare quotes”.

And old people use ellipses simply to indicate a pause, or for some other incomprehensible reason I’m not aware of. But young people use ellipses to indicate passive-aggression.

So an old person could type something like:

how are things going with your “boyfriend”….

and what they mean is

How are things going with your boyfriend? [Im so excited for you, sweetie, and I wanna hear about it]

But a young person would interpret that sentence as

How are things going with your so-called boyfriend…. [I say, while seething with contempt for him and possibly for you too]

[mycroftrh]

I regularly have to re-explain to older family members that putting a period at the end of

Thank you.

in a text doesn’t mean “Your effort on my behalf is valued as significant and of import, and I do not wish to underplay the sincerity of my gratitude”

but in fact means “I despise you and all your progeny and kin with the icy fury of a dying star; when I slaughter you it will be in cold blood”

[isthatluked]

There is also a lot of the time where ellipses were used the way we would use a line break, specifically with post code cards because space was so limited.

So where I can simplly text

"hi how's it going

How's your boyfried

I leave for Paris tomorrow"

Someone writing a postcard 40 years ago would write

"hi how's it going....how's your boyfriend...I leave for Paris tomorrow"

^that’s low-key the best line

[yourladyindank]

conservatives aren't being fired and shunned because of actual conservative values, i'm tired of them cryign victim about this. You weren't fired because you believe in small government and low taxes. You were fired because of the bigoted, hostile shit you said, or the dangerous conspiracy theory you were spreading. if conservatives over the last couple decades have chosen to overlap with the bigoted rhetoric that gets people fired, that's their problem.

Correct

Now if it were to occur that someone was discriminated against due to believing in actual conservative values and not just being a racist or whatever then id be all up in arms against it.

Like the lady from the mandalorian. I saw like one tweet about how it wasn’t nazis it was neighbors? I agree with her and it’s kind of an important thing to say. If that’s the only shit that went down I don’t get why she was fired, except maybe if someone saw “it wasn’t nazis” and just saw red idk. I guess she could have worded it better, to avoid implying nazis did nothing wrong but that’s a super nitpicky stretch imo

Like I said though there might be more context I don’t know about. I’m open to new information.

[noblepeasant]

The exact phrase was “Jews were beaten in the street not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbours... even children”

I guess people are mad that she brought the persecution of the Jews into the matter at all? I don’t know. But being tasteless is no reason to fire someone over.

[yourladyindank]

I agree. While it’s not a comfortable or appropriate thing to say, there technically nothing wrong with it.

[ace-pervert]

Indeed

[rwfosterwriter]

How the fuck is it inappropriate to tell the truth?

[yourladyindank]

The same way it’s inappropriate to bring up a detailed image of a penis in anatomy class.

Because that day we are working on livers.

[isthatluked]

It's not just that it's unrelated facts, it's that when people say "the truth" in a conversation it's reasonable to assume that the person thinks they are related to the conversation at hand.

If in a conversation about differences in earnings at a company between men and women I say "well there are biological differences between men and women". That is a fact. There is nothing wrong with that fact on its own,. But I haven't actually used the fact to show why there is an earnings gap at the company. And if that company is an accounting firm, I'd say it is very reasonable for people to say I am being sexist for saying that fact. The fact isn't sexist, but the story I'm telling with it is.

She didn't just say "Jews were beaten by their neighbors" , she was telling a story, comparing the oppression of an ethnicity, something you don't control, to the criticism of a political ideology, something you do control.

Why did nobody in Fullmetal Alchemist carry around some fucking backup transmutation circles. Like Riza is there with a box full of fresh gloves for Roy when he gets soaked but you’d think after the first time he got rendered useless in a fight by some dude with a water bottle he’d start carrying around a spare set in a waxed bag or something but NOOOOO. And Ed’s even fucking worse like his arm gets destroyed how many times???? AND HE ACTS SURPRISED EVERY TIME. OH NO MY ARM. NOW I CAN’T ALCHEMY. Shit, boy, draw some transmutation circles ahead of time and keep em in your coat, this isn’t hard. “Oh no, you’ve destroyed my arm again, whatever shall I SIKE” Ed says, before throwing a rock with ‘explode’ written on it at his attacker and making good his escape. Everyone’s always carving shit into their skin or drawing it in their own blood, HOW BOUT INSTEAD YOU CARRY A PIECE OF FUCKING CHALK. Alchemists are useless

It is. Sex work has more gender discrimination, more dangers, more hazards in general, so in many ways, sex work is generally harder work. It should be respected. And legalized.

[howtobangyourmonster]

Also, sex workers do not sell their bodies, they sell a service. Their bodies are still theirs and they can say no.

[callmebliss]

“Also, sex workers do not sell their bodies, they sell a service.” This is so important.

[schrodingers-fyke]

Reminder this is a sex worker positive zone
