It's hilarious to me that Al Capone was an amazing tipper. I get why it took so long to catch him.

Me and the other caddies watching Al Capone beat a guy to death with a golf club after he gave each of us the 2022 equivalent of $1600

I think it’s funny how Mormon God was like “look polygamy is super important and I am telling you my followers to practice it even in the face of persecution” and then 40 years later Congress said Utah wouldn’t be given statehood as long as the LDS practiced polygamy and Mormon God was like “Ok tell everyone I changed my mind”

[memecucker]

I just really like the idea that Mormon God like, basically caved into pressure from the federal government

Recently I've been thinking why people are often more empathetic towards animals that people

It's racism first and foremost, obviously

But people also often think of animals as innocent beings incapable of wrongdoing, and people in distress or poverty as somehow "bringing it upon themselves"

We see this in the intense racism against people living in countries that suffer greatly from pollution, and those countries or regions somehow always just happen to be ex-colonies

People blame those people for littering or "fucking up their own ecology" which in their eyes justifies the suffering and health consequences they go through

Humans basically can never be innocent, their suffering is always somehow deserved, or their own fault, or we can just do nothing about it

It's basically "humans are the real disease" to conceal the fundamental inequalities and racism of the global economy

this screencap must look so confusing to people who havent played this like what situation could possibly cause all three of these answers to be relevant at once

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

[penny-anna]

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

[penny-anna]

perhaps a good way to sum up the issue here is:

if you put potatoes in your medieval european style fantasy world people will by and large not find it jarring and accept it as a normal fantasy trope

if you put, say, black people in your medieval european style fantasy world a whole demographic of people will get very angry and accuse you of breaking their immersion

this is in spite of the fact that black people were a lot more common in medieval europe than potatoes.

a kitty is like a stuffed animal that is so heavy and it bite you and she loves you so much and you're best friends

[werewolf-transgenderism]

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

If you want people to work in order to "contribute to society", then you support socialism. Capitalism is working to enrich the people who own the means of production.

[hempseeeeds]

most of the people who "contribute to Society" the most, are retired-from-paid-work elders, breadwinner-spouse-supported care-workers, and other volunteers. This is also reality. Capitalism is actively making ever fewer people able to afford to contribute to society because their survival depends on enriching Rich people.

they seriously expected us to worship cops & soldiers when street cleaners and sanitation workers exist? fuck off i know who my heroes are

[teaboot]

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
