btw lifelong mental illness does not mean the same level of suffering or the same symptoms for the rest of your life. Things change, some things are manageable, some come and go. Basically, an incurable mental illness diagnosis is not a life sentence of guaranteed constant suffering forever. I think it’s important that young people with a new diagnosis know this

everybody is talking (rightfully) about alex wearing the shorts but i haven't seen anybody talk about when somebody (alex moffat i think?) said something about how they had the cum of somebody he didn't know in them (bc they were sticky) and alex replied that he would rather it be somebody he didn't know than somebody he did and greg replied that later there would be both in there

[returnofastraea]

also at one point greg said "daddy's little slut" instead of "greg's" and alex was like "where did DADDY come from???" and then jason mantzoukas later was like "you really exposed yourself with the 'daddy's little slut' thing". also alex moffat called greg daddy multiple times throughout the rest of the show

how do you reconcile with the fact that so many people have so much hatred and disdain for anybody not like them? how to you accept the fact that so many people have no empathy for people who are suffering and enduring violence and oppression every day? being in america is so heartbreaking and eye opening every day. it is truly disgusting how many people will celebrate and defend state violence simply because the victims are people they've been told they should hate

ok repeat after me: gluten free is not "diet culture". gluten free is not meant to "take the joy away from carbs". gluten free is a diet that allows people with an autoimmune disease to eat without inflicting further damage upon their bodies. we don't have to be condemned to eat the most disgusting and basic shit ever because we have celiacs. we deserve options too.

Excellent! AI is wasteful as fuck and we need to stop this shit.

However.

An average golf course uses about 548,000 gallons of water per day.

Indianapolis has 77 golf courses within a 20 mile radius, utilizing an average of 42 million gallons of water. Per day.

Do something about that too, please.

[depsidase]

yes! thank you! golf also needs to be stopped. it does not need to exist. play minigolf or virtual golf or something i dunno but there is absolutely no reason golf should be allowed to exist in a world where water is becoming increasingly scarce and even land itself increasingly expensive.

one's love of golf does not outweigh civilization's need for water. it does not outweigh all the ecosystems' needs for water. get that selfish boomer attitude out of here. it has no place in the 21st century.

Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;

I am PRO-WOOL

I am PRO-LEATHER

I am PRO-BEES

Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.

Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.

[marzipanandminutiae]

“but the industry-”

listen there is a huge difference between an industry with problems that can be made sustainable and more humane, and an industry that cannot, given current technology, continue to the present degree without destroying our planet

[oakenroots]

Wool - Contrary to what bullshit mongers like PETA would have you believe, wool is one of the most ethical materials humans have ever worked with. Happy sheep make better wool, experienced shearers seldom nick their sheep, and older sheep produce more wool, meaning its best to keep them alive and treat them well for many years.

Leather - one cow makes SO MUCH leather. One deer makes SO MUCH leather. Well-treated leather lasts almost FOREVER. Even animals with small skins like rabbits, a pair of well oiled rabbit leather gloves will last decades. Every animal usually made into leather is also a meat animal, so it’s more sustainable to get more than one product from a single ethically butchered animal (humane kills make less punctures in the hide!) Leather can be tanned with natural resources like brains and doesn’t require treatment with chemicals that seep into the groundwater!

Cotton: Cotton is a fucking plant, it burns. The growing and harvesting of cotton is rather water intensive but it IS possible to sustainably harvest and reuse the water spent in the cleaning process to reduce the ecological footprint of the crop. It burns clean, it cuts clean, it’s sturdy, and there are 1000 ways to weave it to change its properties.

Bees & Honey: yes yes, the european honey bee is an invasive species, we know that. But honey has been cultivated by humans for just about as long as there have been humans, and they 100% choose to be cultivated. Like bees can and will leave if they’re not treated and maintained well. They understand that humans protect and clean the hives, and often become familiar with their keepers, choosing to walk on and investigate them instead of acting defensive. If animal welfare and consent are your concerns, honeybees aren’t the animals to worry about. If you, like me, are worried about native bee species, instead of creating hives you can strip an area of grass and leave an open area of clay and sandy soil to attract mason and digger bees to nest in the spring. They will happily coexist with honey bees as long as you plant the native keystone species the native bees rely on (like indian blanket flower, partridge pea, native violets in my area) as well as the high nectar plants that honeybees prefer (like roses, sunflowers, bee balm and cone flowers). Nature is actually really adaptable and accommodating of the human urge to cultivate plants and animals, and the idea that nature is ‘dead’ rather than ‘neglected’ is something that corporations want you to believe so you don’t oppose them spraying pesticides every 15 feet.

[tucsonhorse]

The thing about cotton production is that if it is done somewhere other than A DESERT, it is far, far more sustainable and requires far less additional water. The reason cotton production in the US is such a water-suck is because they are taking this plant that likes lots and lots of water and they are growing it in the desert. Put it in an area closer to its natural habitat and it will be even more ecologically sustainable.

so DRAAG employed The Black Parade, used them as propaganda. their manager was the man in the suit with the rose (sorry i missed his name). they were doing DRAAG’s bidding, running the elections and executing the candidates. truly dark shit.

then Gerard started acting out, mocking his manager and what not, which of course got him in trouble and literally SMACKED. he takes off part of the uniform halfway through, but the manager guy forces him to wear it again.

later in the set, especially during teenagers, they stop showing the faces of the band members are start playing television ads for DRAAG game shows and canned soup corporations. they’re trying to cover up the Black Parade’s rogue, defiant behaviour.

and after the manager guy had enough of the defiance, he went crazy and murdered Gerard. DRAAG soldiers entered the scene and detained Ray, Mikey, and Frank (although Mikey bolted so maybe he got away free).

that’s what i got out of the plot… let me know what yall thought it was about
