MAGA boomers SHOCKED by 20y/o commie speaking fluent hog

[red-garden]

Hog 201 for anyone interested in trying this:

Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”

Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”

Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”

Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”

State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”

The vast majority of conservatives think of themselves as underdogs being repressed by the government/the elite, and they value personal freedom (specifically their personal freedom, they don’t care about other people). The will almost always agree with leftist points if you can find a way to blame the problem on their vague enemies (useful, since rich people are the root of most problems), and tie it back to their ability to say fuck everyone else. NEVER appeal to science, theory, logic, or human goodness. Make it seem as if you are a paranoid lunatic who trusts no one. They love it.

that post where someone says lesbians are over represented in media and all the examples were kids cartoons. lol

[userdoesnotexistintable]

I mean, cartoons are the only media that ever mattered to me… so yeah?

[uptownthots]

this is a really embarrassing addition to be making at 40 years old unfortunately

[duckwithaknife84]

no, it isn’t. Anyone of any age can enjoy media, you don’t stop being interested in things just because you are an adult. That being said, claiming that because there are a lot of lesbians in a specific genre that you exclusively watch, they are over represented, is wrong. That’s like only listening to rap music and then saying that there are too many black artists in the music industry. (Obviously not a perfect comparison, but the best I could think of at the moment.)

[uptownthots]

it actually is really embarrassing for a grown adult to be perpetuating stupid lesbophobic lies made up by tweens a decade ago because they like cartoons, yeah 😭

A reminder to my self and all of you: you can, and should make customer complaints on behalf of staff.

Like last week, I had to mail a package and my local USPS was absolutely SWEALTERING. And the staff only had a few fans, some of which they were using faced towards customers, to try and keep us cool.

While doing my transaction, I was chatting with the worker about how crazy this was and how I hoped she had her own fan too, because I could only see the customer-benefit ones. She said yes, but I also asked if there was anyone I could complain to on her behalf and she immediately said yes again and to please do it! She wrote a more direct customer service number on my receipt which I was able to call Friday.

To be clear, I was kind and polite; I stressed how good the workers at this office were and how efficient always: "It's my local post office," but also how unbearable the heat was and how I couldn't imagine MY poor local staff having to suffer in that heat all day. I don't know yet if it will have an immediate effect for the workers, I hope it will though.

It's a move I haven't pulled much recently, but it was a good reminder for me that I can. I can put on my best assertive-Karen-for-good voice and bitch at companies and corporations to take care of their staff because why would I keep going to them if they don't? I know Post office is a little different, but all the more reason for me to take a vested interest as I pay for them with my taxes! Use my money to get those hard-working folks some goddamn aircon!

how the heck porn addiction is not real

Because scientists have studied it and they've found insufficient evidence to prove that it's real. It's really quite simple.

[the-consistent-anti]

There are literally scientists who went into these studies genuinely believing in porn addiction who were eager to study it and its effects who came out no longer believing in it. Why? Because they're good scientists who changed their minds in the face of new evidence.

The key point in studies like this is that they always expect porn-related problems to go up as porn use goes up, and you would expect that because that's how every addiction works from gambling to cigarettes to alcohol to crack cocaine, but what they actually find is that the people with the most distress over their porn use is actually related to how religious they are, not how much porn they're watching. This is significant, because it means people who identify as "porn addicts" are not actually watching more porn than the average person; They just feel worse about it because they think they shouldn't be watching it AT ALL.

I really can't stress this point enough; Are there people whose lives are badly impacted by watching 22 hours of porn a day? Sure, they do exist and they have my sympathy, but the majority of cases of "porn addiction" are completely religiously motivated and have nothing to do with how much porn people are actually watching.

The key takeaway here is that shaming people for their sexuality is harmful. It's bad for people's mental health to make them feel shame over something they have no control over, like how horny they can get. It's wrong to force people to suppress their emotions and make them feel guilty for not harming anyone. As Drew of Genetically Modified Skeptic once said; You can't shame someone out of feeling horny any more than you can shame someone out of feeling hungry.

Christianity often does this as a form of control by selling you the sickness and the cure; We are created sick and commanded to be well.

psa to all white people: if you start your conversation with “i’m sorry for being white” “as someone lighter than paper” “white people are terrible i will be the first to tell you” or anything similar i will not ❌ 🙅‍♂️ be listening to the rest of your sentence. your performative self-flagellation solves nothing and i refuse to validate your racial victim complex 😔 😡

If you are not Black (YES EVEN YOU LATINOS) and you say nigga, I do not like you and will not value your opinion on anything <3

Literally why is it your favorite word? I don't even say it that much. Do you even know the history of that word? What they did to us? And for how long? Oh, you don't even care, do you? Explain to me why you think you can say it.

Even though I don't even ship them, I love these two morons because Sparrow will not hesitate to get into whatever sheninigans Duchess Swan cooks up.

She yells at him to stop playing so obnoxiously with his guitar and drags him towards Ashlynn and Hunter's secret date in True Hearts Day special. Which he happily goes along with.

Even when Sparrow claimed he was DONE with Duchess, a second later he claims,

"Nobody will tell me (about the party) because I'm friends with you." Which I will so glady call bullshit on.

I think a big part of the reason he wouldn't go is because he *actually was invited* as long as he ditched that "snitchy swan friend of his". Maybe by Charming or Hopper who he will sometimes hang out with as curtesy to Briar and Cupid who knows Duchess would do anything to get them in trouble. Sparrow Hood is not the kind of kid who ditches his friends over a party, especially if of them is his sneaky hotheaded traumatized ballerina.

Sparrow understands that Duchess is stuck in a tragic story with no autonomy, so she does things that to others that are seen as wicked and cruel, at least she would be free frol what is essentially her punishment. And to see other princesses like Ashlynn who are better off with her own stories break the rules seamlessly adds more insult to injury.

Sparrow, even though he thinks she shouldn't care about her destiny all that much as he doesn't, still helps her in the schemes because he also believes she does deserve a much happier ending. And if she isn't gonna be a Rebel, at least he will be the rebel for her.

And Duchess knows how much of a ride or die he is when it comes to her. Which is why she reacted nonchalant about Sparrow not being invited to the party because she knows he wouldn't come without her anyways. They understand each other in ways that they can trust and depend on each other without feeling judged, but at the same time keep each other somewhat grounded in reality. They work so good as team essentially.
