Dudes get divorced at 45 and realize they don't know how to cook or clean or do taxes and suddenly they get really into avenging some city state that was humiliated 1000 years ago. (Drunk driving with a firearm)

i think one thing that will really invariably get me to click out of a fic immediately, if i even get as far as opening it in the first place, is He Would Not Fucking Say That’s hornier cousin “he would not fucking fuck that hard or that prolifically”. like when regardless of canon personality a character enters the bedroom and immediately becomes this almost christian grey parody ultra suave dom with dubious bdsm practices and it’s like. i’m very sorry but i truly hand on heart do not think he knows how to use his dick like that

i think that a lot of what gets billed as "transandrophobia" that isnt incoherent is simply "misogyny" but people are reluctant to admit this because the notion that transgender men might sometimes experience misogyny makes a lot of gender aphorisms from which facts are derived incoherent. how can one reconcile statements like "trans men are men" with "sometimes people are misogynist to transgender men". and the answer is you can't because these gender aphorisms are born from contexts of advocating for certain legal "rights" by building on "born this way" rhetoric that are not capable of being serious analytical tools with explanatory power

Im honestly still not over horizon zero dawn being touted as a feminist game and then literally EVERY man having a fridged wife/sister/mom/daughter in his backstory. It was frankly a comical amount of dead women in backstories.

That's my problem with astrology actually. I simply deeply, completely reject that any human being can be defined by the conditions of their birth or should be judged by that. You may say "oh oh but astrology is just a fun quiz game" well then, it's pointless. (and also not true, there are cases where astrology is taken very, very seriously, historically and today). Even if it's just a loose personality test (which again, pointless) I just reject the idea that people are born a certain way and can't change, because to me, that's the core idea behind every single form of prejudice

Also I was a fan of Carl Sagan and wanted to be an astronomer as a kid so you can imagine how annoying it was when people asked me about horoscopes.

[leliwardens]

it's funny to see some solas fans convinced the devs hate him and that explains some of the shortcomings in the writing. when like yeah the devs do hate a character and it's every female one they ever wrote. and anders.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'd say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn't the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I'm being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven't even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it

okay jem fans we need to huddle in close and hold hands to give all of our energy for a reboot. when jem turned 30 we got the comics and movie and now for jem's 40th we already got a whole new line of funko pops and a statue So We Can Change This.

i don't quite agree with the "it's not left vs. right, it's up versus down" meme- while "up vs down" (ie owning class versus working class) is of course the primary conflict, "left vs. right" does relate to like, significant differences in approach to how to address the "up vs. down" conflict, and one of these approaches is obviously better than the other in this regard.

but i will say that a right-wing working class person is, usually, someone you can and should try to win over.

and a "left-wing" wealthy person is a scorpion on your back. they cannot change their class interests.

[leviathan-supersystem]

relating specifically to that last point, there's a particular type of "left-wing" wealthy person, the kind who lives off family money while traveling around the world and engaging in various forms of performative activism and writing absolutely dogshit political "theory"- this type of person is very common in the crust punk scene in particular these days, as well as the hippie scene, but you can find them all over. usually anarchist, but not always.

this sort of person has done immeasurable damage to the left. and the thing is, i don't think they're even doing it consciously. following class interests is often a knee-jerk instinctive action, they're not trying to undermine the left consciously, but every time left-wing discourse starts drifting in a way that would truly combat the power of the owning class- and thus, cutting off the money their rich daddy sends them- they feel a terror they can't explain, and on instinct start gibbering buzzword-laden screeds about how the language you're using to talk about the wealthy is Really Kinda Problematic :/

[leviathan-supersystem]

i have a semi-popular post from a while back where i compared this sort of person to historical holy men who came from wealth then chose to live as beggars (given that the modern equivalent maintains access to family wealth during their poverty cosplay I suspect these "holy men" did the same)- the post ended with a really great "crust monk" pun, some of my best work. anyways while that post was mostly just Jokin Around, these is genuinely something to be said for there being a parallel in how both the crust monks of the past and the crust punks of the present act to create a superstructural form of control, creating ideology which channels class resentment into directions where it won't pose a threat to the existing class system.

[leviathan-supersystem]

@themarospeaker genuinely this is a really good point, i'm probably being both overly general and overly negative here. certainly a massive number of bougie "leftists" fit my description, but you're right that class traitors do exist and i should be careful not to forget that. certainly i think we should be holding people to a higher standard than we currently do to demonstrate their class traitor status, but it undeniably is a thing that can occur.

[hollowboobtheory]

so you're telling me that the man who left fake clues and just vanished after shooting the guy also waltzed into a mcdonalds in broad daylight 4 days later still carrying the murder weapon? bitch that is not your guy. nypd is obviously framing an innocent man to make an example out of so they can put this case to bed quickly, avoid looking completely incompetent, and shut down the conversation this whole ordeal has started. lemme guess they're gonna try him in like 3 days and then dump 5 life sentences on him.

[hollowboobtheory]

so sorry I missed something huge here. forgot to mention they'll beat a bogus confession out of him before his kangaroo court date

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shot dead in Midtown Manhattan, masked gunman at large

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot near a Midtown Manhattan hotel in a potentially targeted shooting early Wednesday, according to

The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were discovered by detectives on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson, the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare, was gunned down, police sources told ABC News late Wednesday evening.

There was a book about insurers ripping people off titled "Delay, Deny, Defend".

The plain interpretation is that the shooter was unhappy about insurance business practices. United Healthcare is notoriously bad about denying claims. I have a denial letter from them on my desk right now. That would narrow the suspect pool down to millions of people.
