Gotta say tho, having alcohol this time makes this slightly better than 2016
I can’t believe this is the world we live in
One thing I’ve noticed both with parenting and with wider topics like politics is that people often don’t seem like their goal is to get their goal achieved. When you want a goal achieved, and that goal is not on track to being achieved, you need to try something new in order to get that goal achieved. Instead, some people see that their goal is not being achieved and they decide to punish the ones not achieving their goal. For example, my brother is bad at getting his homework done and perhaps I might threaten to take something away from him. If he does his homework, great it worked. If it doesn’t, then the threat was not adequate. The goal was not achieved. But I still want the goal achieved, so I find something else to motivate him. My parents, on the other hand, will go through with the punishment, and be done with it. The homework is still not done, and they no longer have their leverage, but they stop at that. The end goal was not having the goal achieved, but to inflict punishment at the goal not being achieved. This may be cathartic, but it does nothing to help in the long run. We see this now politically. We want our government to do a specific action, and we may threaten to withhold our vote if they fail to achieve said action, but if that doesn’t work, we can’t just keep going with our punishment. Because the goal is not yet achieved, and that is indeed the goal, right? And in addition, because you made a threat and went through with the punishment, the people you want accomplishing these goals don’t really want to help you anymore. It’s very frustrating, and you can wish all you want that they will want to do it anyways, but as I see with my brother all the time, they won’t. And now you have to live with the consequences because you were unwilling to adjust your methods and cared more about punishment than achieving your goals. And many people, like my parents, seem to be okay with that. But if you aren’t, if you genuinely want that goal achieved, then I suggest you change tactics before the deadline for late work passes

One thing I wish people understood about politics, is that building coalitions means treating coalition partners the way you want to be treated. You want a party to reliably work on issues of concern to you? You need to reliably show up for that party, and loudly say WHY you're showing up for that party. Otherwise you're not a coalition partner. You're an unreliable group that's not worth investing resources in.
And, honestly, a lot of the "leftists" have shown this year that they don't really pay attention to issues or what's going on or being done. Plenty of them have gone on twitter to announce that nothing NOTHING will make them vote for Democratic candidates. That's a one-way ticket to getting sorted into the same "waste of time" bucket as hardcore MAGA people and ignored.
Because people who are serious about making change don't throw public tantrums. They don't have constantly shifting goal posts. They're strategic. They are able to partner with people, even if they disagree with those people. They organize. They build coalitions. They constantly work on growing those coalitions. If that's not what you're doing, admit to yourself that, for you, politics is not about helping people, it's a hobby or something you do to try to get attention for yourself, and get out of the way of the people doing the work.
a singular scuit. just one.
an edible cracker with just one side. mathematically impossible and yet here I am monching on it.
‘scuit’ comes from the french word for ‘bake’, ‘cuire’ as bastardized by adoption by the brittish and a few hundred years ‘biscuit’ meant ‘twice-baked’, originally meaning items like hardtack which were double baked to dry them as a preservative measure long before things like sugar and butter were introduced. if you see a historical doccument use the word ‘biscuit’ do not be fooled to think ‘being a pirate mustve been pretty cool, they ate nothing but cookies’ - they were made of misery to last long enough to be used in museum displays or as paving stones
‘triscuit’ is toasted after the normal biscuit process, thrice baked thus the monoscuit is a cookie thats soft and chewy because it was only baked once, not twice
behold the monoscuit/scuit
Why is this called a biscuit:
when brittish colonists settled in the americas they no longer had to preserve biscuits for storage or sea voyages so instead baked them once and left them soft, often with buttermilk or whey to convert cheap staples/byproducts into filling items to bulk out the meal to make a small amount of greasy meat feed a whole family. considering hardtack biscuits were typically eaten by dipping them in grease or gravy untill they became soft enough to eat without breaking a tooth this was a pretty short leap of ‘just dont make them rock hard if im not baking for the army’ but didnt drop the name because its been used for centuries and people forgot its french for ‘twice baked’ back in the tudor era, biscuit was just a lump of cooked dough that wasnt leavened bread as far as they cared thus the buttermilk biscuit and the hardtack biscuit existed at the same time. ‘cookies’ then came to america via german and dutch immigrants as tiny cakes made with butter, sugar/molasses, and eggs before ‘tea biscuits’ as england knew them due to the new availability of cheap sugar- which is why ‘biscuit’ and ‘cookie’ are separate items in america but the same item in the UK the evolution of the biscuit has forks on its family tree
Biscuit history
Tumblr the only place I would learn this
I learn so much useless fucking shit from this site I fucking love it
It’s not useless, it’s Quality Life Enrichment and endless Conversation Topics
Also, and this is important to add since this version of the thread doesn’t mention it, Triscuit doesn’t mean thrice baked.
It comes from “electic biscuit.” As in elec-TRI-c bi-SCUIT.
And it’s because Triscuits are baked in an electric oven, which was new and fancy when they were first marketed.
The cracker world would never be the same after one Twitter user revealed the origin story of this oddly named snack.

Every 2 years we get to overthrow the legislative branch. Every 4 years we get to overthrow the executive. Not to be melodramatic but: use your power! Make the world a better place! It won't happen overnight but it WILL happen step by step, slightly better law passed by slightly better politician, each a little further than the next. VOTE! (And don't forget the down-ballot races, which affect things like local housing, libraries, and schools!
What is Trump? And why are people posting about it all the time?
the ancient Americans believed that Trump, pharaoh of new york—later exiled to florida—was the second incarnation of their national demiurge, Reagan. he did little to discourage this, even taking the name Donald in direct reference to the ancient conservative deity
though they reigned in different eras, together the two presidents were considered as equal halves of the superdeity and American patron deity “Ronald McDonald”
Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".
The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?
one of the coworkers I assumed didn't like me - which made all those outings a bit uncomfortable - took me aside last night, put her hand sort of on my shoulder, looked me intensely in the eyes and said:
"just so you know, I do like you. I just have autism."
also, one of the guys was getting very comfortable - too comfortable for most people - and he kept resting his arm over the back of my chair, and so at some point when I turned to her to ask about something mundane she interrupted me:
"I see his arm on your chair," very intense eye contact, which I understand was specifically for my benefit "if it makes you uncomfortable let me know and I will tell him off. I literally don't care what he thinks and it will be easier for me than you because I'm incapable of feeling awkward."
so true

anybody got tips and tricks on how to not go absolutely fucking insane because of the deranged world order we live in
Thinking about how stupid the name Christian is. Imagine if someone was just named Muslim. Gonna name my child Agnostic
Apparently people do name their kids Islam and Muslim. I still think this is silly but I stand corrected
The people who police your gender will police your gender even if you're cis.
Eat them.
"OH those body builder women with pancake breasts arent-" eat them.
"This woman has a beard, thats not-" eat them.
"That man has a baby face, that's not" - eat them with barbecue sauce.
Eat them. You will never be gender enough for their definition of gender. Eat them.
