My instant block policy has officially evolved to include making arguments we’ve all heard a billion times that have counter arguments we’ve all heard a billion times. If you’re boring, you are not worth my time, and you’re getting blocked
Texas GOP is going to catch these yadaiim istHS. Can we not recognize a rational space between recognizing CAIR's foreign terror funding involvement (can't do that yo) and not threatening to BAN hijabs in schools and HALAL FOOD SALE in general??? They also want to teach about Islamic imperialism but they'd probably just create a suspect and likely inaccurate narrative atp (unhelpful)
Now if you know me you'll know I have never agreed with our GOP, but have often disagreed with some takes by their opposition. I imagine there's a good chance I'll do that here again, because the local powers that be who will call out the GOP are likely to be reactionary themselves (per usual) and start saying some shit like "Islamic nations are actually incapable of imperialism" (direct quote). Now, this proposed legislation will not pass, is purely bigoted posturing, and assumedly bait to illicit this exact response because it cheapens the Dem stance. Obviously. But apparently too difficult for the blue team to recognize.
I hate this state. Clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right INDEED
A German friend of mine (usually a sub) was experimenting with domming me over text message while I was at a work sponsored lunch.
She asked me what I was eating and I told her "a hot dog with ketchup and Sauerkraut" and the idea of putting Sauerkraut on a hot dog so threw her for a loop that she completely dropped her persona
Apparently the German desire for control is no match for American food sacrilege
Worldbuilding exercise #137: imagining how answers regarding mildly obscure trivia about your setting's culture, geopolitics, and history would be phrased on a hypothetical episode of Celebrity Jeopardy (which for the purpose of this exercise exists in that world in precisely the same form as it does in ours).
I'm 100% serious about that first part, for the record. If you have a certain type of mindset, doing this exercise with regular Jeopardy might send you down a rabbit hole trying to decide whether a given answer is too obvious to be game show trivia, but doing it with Celebrity Jeopardy totally bypasses that potential stumbling block because on Celebrity Jeopardy a solid 50% of the answers are objectively dumb as hell.

Referring to any game where you level up as an "incremental game" in order to piss off absolutely everyone.
That spy novel bit where the spy seems to be getting tortured for intel but is actually slyly interrogating their captor, except it's an inverted power dynamic forcefem thing and the sub is waging a subtle campaign of psychological warfare to undermine their overconfident dom's gender identity.
RPG where it's very easy to overcome all of the bosses nonviolently through correct dialogue choices, but actually doing so locks you into the bad ending; in order to get the good ending, you need to do a bunch of obtuse side quests in order to goad them into fighting you.
Canadian bilingual packaging is fun because you get to see how various slightly odd idioms end up being translated by people who don't give a shit. I just saw a tub of double chocolate chip ice cream where the English label says "death by chocolate", but the French translates literally as "chocolate until death", which has a somewhat different vibe.
#there are so many cases i see when the english packaging has a pun for a tagline #and then the french is just a poor translation EVEN THOUGH an equivalent pun can be made (via @souplover13)
Occasionally it's the other way 'round, though, and the French is clearly the original pun. There's a brand of cheese sticks at the local co-op where the English tagline on the packaging is "cheesetastic!", but the French is "fromidable", which is so much better it's faintly offensive.
My personal favorite genre is when I involuntarily think, "Who in G_d's Name would eat something called that?!?" while dropping it into my cart.

The thing still gets me about the "levant/middle east was all Arab" idea is that... even setting aside Jews. You have to ignore every other people in the area to say this. You have to ignore the Copts and Beduoin and Kurds and Yezidi and Assyrian and Druze and Persians and even fucking Greeks to go with the idea that this entire area was just Arab. In order to deny Jewish origin here, you have to deny everyone else. Because you can go "the levant was Arab and also Persian and also Assyrian before the Jews arrived" because that's not really a united identity destroyed by the Zionists, is it? You'd have to acknowledge all of history and that's just not acceptable. So the area was entirely Arab. That's how it was. Don't question it
but you see, y'all were SUPPOSED TO stay subjugated! AND dispersed! By refusing to do that, you've ruined the narrative! You were SUPPOSED TO stay just a bit-player, a small handful of NPC's in the Arab Conquerer's Story! It's all your fault! Say you're sorry right now!! /s
seriously - they give zero shits about the real history of the region and its many peoples. Root-Cause Analysis not not in them. If they EVER ask, "why?" they'll only do it a very limited number of times, usually just enough to excuse whatever rash/hostile actions they wanna see excused by the side they're already biased towards.
Many of them willfully choose to live with a blind faith in whatever they're told by whomever has authority over them. Their revered figures just couldn't be liars, right?!? It's Divine Will! It MUST BE!!
They are the type of person who values Loyalty over and above Intellectual Honesty & Integrity. Their concept of Honor absolutely requires one to be Loyal before anything else. You're not supposed to ask questions and have your own thoughts!
had to share this
In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
Making me cry over a dang chickadee

Okay but frog genitalia are internal whereas male rats have among the largest proportionate ballsacks of any animal.

however i do think i scared the repair ppl by materialising at their door in 3 seconds
wuts the joke here?
Sylveon evolves with affection, but Umbreon evolves with friendship. After having sex the Umbreon realized she only liked the Sylveon as a friend, which is disappointing for the Sylveon, because he feels much more strongly than her.
The joke is heartbreak.
this is the best thing. ever.
the fact it had to be explained….. ugh white people
