This might be a hot take but I think if I click the button that says "unsubscribe from emails" then I should fucking be unsubscribed from the emails

person typing into google search bar: obfuscate meaning

google ai overview: Understood! From now on, all meaning will be hidden from you, and you'll be forced to wade through the dreary vastness. Whether it's things you've always held dear, or new ideas you've yet to discover, nothing will make sense or appear to have any real value. This could be the beginning of a fascinating journey!

[awed-frog]

For all my fellow oversharers out there.

As a chronic people-pleaser, this is my advice for success.

Offer as little as possible. Be terse. Get rid of all those exclamation marks and tidbits about why you want to take a sick day. State your needs clearly and concisely without reason. Start saying “No, I’m unable.” more often. Say Thank You only when the other party deserves it.

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

[what-even-is-thiss]

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

[what-even-is-thiss]

Emperor Hadrian randomly stabbed a slave in the eye in a fit of rage and he was supposedly unusually sympathetic to slaves.

There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.

And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.

People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.

Like how many people throughout history were beaten to death because some rich asshole was angry and there was no legal or social consequences for doing so? We don’t know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

almost seven years deep into the 2020s this feels less like a retrospective evaluation and more like a prophetic vision

[breadandm]

somebody posted this Calvin and Hobbes strip and i cannot overstate just how topical this fuckin thing is

@isuggestrevolution ?

[isuggestrevolution]

i suggest we need to slow down

[butchfagminotaur]

it’s nice seeing other people starting to open their eyes to what i’ve been saying for a while in that the current use and proliferation of the term “gooning” is an outright tool of fascism

[butchfagminotaur]

the second “gooning” stopped referring to a specific sexual practice and started to be used as a replacement for “masturbation” we needed to kill it immediately and sadly we didn’t

[butchfagminotaur]

if you call someone a “masturbator” in a derisive way you sound like a fucking mormon but suddenly you switch to calling them a “gooner” and you’ve created a way to express the same puritanical beliefs around masturbation that is not only palatable to the average person but the attached underlying implications of the term make people way more susceptible to adopting those beliefs themselves

leftists need to fucking stop using the term “gooner” right fucking now

[butchfagminotaur]

demonizing human sexuality and treating masturbation and sexual activity as deviant and disgusting are straight up fascist tools and it’s startling how successful this aspect of it has been the last few years

anyway now that guy is gone can we all just agree that "you're too priveleged to have ever been abused" is an insane thing to say. like hey what theory can i study to learn how to victim blame Wokely.

[valtsv]

yes being marginalised in any way does increase your vulnerability to risk of being harmed without meaningful consequences for the perpetrator and that's grossly unfair + abuse is primarily about power and control but if you are a human being with a body there is no sufficient social condition you can achieve that makes you immune to being taken advantage of

[valtsv]

idk i just think implying that if you're marginalised you should expect to be abused and that nobody else could possibly understand your struggle or support you in fighting back is maybe not as progressive as some of you seem to think it is

The long awaited sequel.

[thededfa]

I have two black cats, Sera and Ceridwen. They are sisters and look exactly alike and like to sit next to each other in the exact same position.

Sera is sweet and loves to be petted.

Ceridwen is sweet and loves to pretend your hand is a mouse she wants to disembowel. 

My kids will stand in front of them both and try to guess which is which, even asking the cats, “Which one of you likes to bite?”

Every now and then I’ll hear a, “Wrong one! Wrong one!” followed by my kids running through the house chased by a delighted kitten

[inkdrgn]

this feels like the cat version of the thing where one creature always speaks the truth and the other always lies

[byjove]

suspicious…

[byjove]

there are apparently a lot of mushrooms that are poisonous to some people and edible for others. unlike food allergies, it’s not an allergic immune reaction, it’s mushroom poisoning but only for some people

[byjove]

edibility is FAFO

[homunculus-argument]

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.
