Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

I love seeing certain takes about certain characters and going "congrats. You've fallen for the front they put up"

[pidgeon-brained]

This is what 90% of takes about Dean Winchester read like to me. Oh you think he's a play boy and isn't husband material, be so fucking for real with me right now.

them saying colorism is somehow created bc of classism and not…white supremacy? 😭 what r yall on why do yall pretend ur lack of understanding of white supremacy is bc ur not american instead of u just not..knowing basic words

[pidgeon-brained]

(this is absolutely my take and I am open to corrections and discussions) I think for a lot of young people colorism is tied with Americanism, and in that way the civil rights movement. It's easier to believe that colorism is in relation to the American slave trade, rather than a prevalent problem for much of history.

They don't understand that race science was originally a white British thing. The basis of so many of those pseudosciences; phrenology (the study of skulls as a tell of character), physiognomy (the study of facial features to determine mental illness), eugenics, etc was the British "right" to colonialism. They wanted to justify their imperialist attack on many countries (primarily India and Africa) through the lens that they were the "more civilized" of people.

The animalistic comparisons, the dehumanizing language, the stereotypes we apply to many people of color today, especially black people, stems from British colonialism, and that's why it's so prevalent in America today.

It's interesting, because earlier today I saw a video talking about how people are often more judgmental of "ugly" people than they are of "Bad" people and that's because of colonialism. The use of race science determined what is and isn't attractive and we use those stands to imply that unattractive people are less human. In the same way that physiognomy said "I can tell someone is mentally ill/a rapist/a thief based on their facial characteristics" racism says "this person doesn't fit white beauty standards and is there for Bad" so even if someone is accused of horrific actions it doesn't matter if they're physically attractive.

not fully related but thats also y when i see yall on here like “awww i wish we had purple people or people with horns or people with neon green eyes….💔” im like. yall cant even handle black people…yall cant even handle caring about people like 5 shades darker than you….u want the world to be ‘whimsical’ or whatever yet ur completely fine with white supremacy 😭 evil ass individuals u cant handle a cyclops or a fairy u cant even handle hip hop!!!!

Because testosterone is already a controlled substance and thus the posession of it as DIY HRT is already illegal. Trans men and transmascs have been talking about this for literal years. This is such a bizarre kneejerk, because instead of simply talking about how horrible the attempt to criminalize DIY estrogen is OP here immedeatly decides to make this about trans men and transmascs being less opressed.

atheist: joe hills is from nashville tennessee

christian: joe hills Came from Heaven

agnostic: nobody really knows where joe hills came from

[thenopequeen]

But we do know he conquered death, you can ask @quinnhills

[quinnhills]

Indeed, evidence of Joe Hills can be found across all cultures and belief systems:

The druids called this figure “Seosamh an Taibhse Ciaróg”

Juppet-like renderings grace the cave walls of Sulawesi, Indonesia dating back over 50,000 years

It is not fallacious to say that Joe Hills is from Nashville, Tennessee. Joe Hills is from anywhere that the water cuts the land

I hate you epitome of innocence being represented with blonde hair I hate you lightness representing goodness I hate you "angelic features" automatically being read as blonde hair and blue eyed with pale skin I hate you whiteness as the default for morality I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

[clonehub]

Guess who's being the most annoying on this post

[clonehub]

this post isnt about blondes and how its so unfair to them that theyre always viewed as good healthy holy morally upright outstanding people no matter what this post is about racism its about colorism its about white supremacy making people with dark features and skin literally feel evil. this is not about your stupid disney princesses or achilles or your fave anime boys being allowed to be unhinged feral shitty awful people and this sure as hell is not an opportunity for blonde people themselves to show their entire pasty flat asses and beg praise for "breaking the stereotype" by being shitty unhinged people. fandom people you are 192% of the problem. white people in general you are 1,000% the origin of the problem. this site is so unbearably white my GOD

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

[takashi0]

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

[tpwrtrmnky]

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

[iteh3xael]

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

[tpwrtrmnky]

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

i love headcanoning old men as ftm. like considering fandom loves to equate being transmasc to being young no one will probably agree with me but i look into his eyes and see the wisdom only a post-menopausal man could provide

[pidgeon-brained]

Stan Pines is transmasc, I believe this to be true
