i love when boomers complain about shit like this because as a fast food worker i would literally rather walk out into the lobby and shoot myself in the head than suggest more than one menu item to a customer

Yeah former 8 year Starbucks employ here. This never happens. I’ve have had what amounts to a flip on this happen more often. Something like

“Welcome in what can I get you”

“I want a plain black coffee”

“All rights wha-“

“No sugar or cream or flavor or anything else.”

“Okay, got it, wha-“

“I don’t want no caramachmocha flippy-do’s or frappachina-what-it’s. Just. A plain ol regular black coffee”

“That’s great sir, now please wha”

“Just a old fashioned stright up coff-“

“SIR WHAT SIZE DO YOU WANT YOU STUPID FUCKING COFFEE”

Please believe me when I say I have never knowingly shared AI artwork in my life, but this one is so godawful that it defies any sort of categorisation.

THIS was posted by the current President....

Presumably it was supposed to project an image of utter masculinity.... which would surely test even the most soulless of generative AI programs, but this... THIS?

This may simultaneously be amongst the most horrifying AND most gay things I've seen in my long life.

The closest thing I can think of is those old Sino/Soviet posters all about men striving together which just looks like they're a slightly adorable gay couple, sometimes bringing up their kids together.

The central image strives for manliness, though I can only hear Jabba the Hutt's theme playing in my head as I look at it.

But the near naked, ALL MALE, totally toned (and possibly cloned) cheerleaders gleefully flinging their pompoms with gay [sic] abandon makes JC Leyendecker's work look butch.

[moveoversun]

To add another layer to the nightmare of this "art", it looks like the cheerleaders all resemble young Ronald Regan. yikes

Well, not unseeing THAT now....

Thanks, I hate it....

sorry, but you were socialized christian. I just can't trust you in a trans space

[mousidy]

they literally taught you that trans people were subhuman and that you were better than them. I don't know if you can be trusted around other trans people

[mousidy]

they scapegoated and abused you for showing signs of transness? uh... no? christianity is the most privileged religion there is. stop whining

This is 100% me being a crank, but I'm getting real annoyed at seeing Ancient Traditional Crafts™ videos that depict people grinding minerals to make pigments with no respiratory protection. Like, yeah, an N100 mask isn't Authentic and shit, but do you know what powdered mica does to your lungs?

[prokopetz]

@sawdust-emperor replied:

Watching any green or blue-green mineral being ground to make pigment in these, praying it's just rough glass or some shit and not any of the almost always notably poisonous green minerals:

Being as I've also seen examples where the craftsperson is handling what appears to be raw cinnabar with their bare hands, I wouldn't say the odds are good there.

It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.

[mudaship3]

So we know land back is Indigenous sovereignty Native agency and Indigenous stewardship yes. Land back is them respecting treaties they promised to respect ages ago but didn’t. Land back is them respecting the agreements they made with sovereign nations but broke instead. Land back is us going back to our ancestral lands. Land back is referring to Indigenous land by native names not colonizer ones. Land back isn’t a ethostate or deporting people Or whatever fever dream settlers have that’s cuz of settler colonizer projection and guilt.

“If you're American, you've almost certainly heard about how Indigenous reservations were and are located on whatever land the US doesn't want anyway. That they're just a way to whisk away undesirables until the land becomes useful to the US. That's the two-state solution.”

Two state solution is living side by side with people that tried to exterminate you with land theft genocide ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism When we say land back We mean all land stolen by settler colonizers Not just half of it to appease colonizers or respectability politics

“it’s worth mentioning that the proposal of a “two-state solution” is exactly what was offered to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas by European settler colonizers as a peaceful way to coexist.”

Land back. Indigenous 🪶 agency, sovereignty, and stewardship. All land back. Turtle Island, Hawaiʻi, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), Sisam Moshir (Ainu term for mainland Japan), Ryukyu/Luchu (Okinawa), Samoa, Guahan (Guam), Papua, Éire(Ireland), Alba (Scotland), Borikén (Puerto Rico), Maohi Nui (French Polynesia of Tahiti Bora Bora and Marquesan Islands,) Aotearoa (New Zealand), Palestine Etc. Etc. End to all settler states.

the rainbow gay pride flag is really ugly im sorry. im sorryyyy. i love rainbows & homosexuals but it's such a fuckign. garish flag. especially when we just keep adding more stripes to it like we need to. learn restraint. with the colors we use in a design. wait wait though i'm not talking about the brown/black stripe honestly the brown/black stripe unironically makes it better because it adds some neutral tones to balance all the eyebleed. but the lavender stripe... the cyan & magenta. like i know cyan & magenta were originally on there before they got removed because of inaccessible dye colors but like. we should have known. because that's too many colors. do NOT misinterpret me i love sex & magic & diversity but NINE??? NIIIIIIIINE COLORS. that's so many colors we NEED to streamline
