“This thing can’t possibly be an antisemitic dog whistle, it’s just a commonly used phrase!”

My dude you are so close to understanding how pervasive antisemitism is

I'm going to sound like a total killjoy lmao. Dgmw the "net zero information post" meme was funny the first handful of times I saw it, but nowadays seeing someone pull out that phrase on a post just leaves me thinking like. Well, it doesn't *have* to be a net zero information post.

You can actually learn a lot from it if you're willing to interrogate things such as "why did I completely believe this until I saw someone directly on the thread debunk it?" and perhaps "are there any particular preconceptions the original claim is playing into to Confirmation Bias its way into being believed with no evidence?" and "How susceptible am I to believe something because it confirms biases I hold or it makes for a satisfying narrative?". And then trying to apply the things you learned from that exercise the next time you catch yourself believing a similar claim without looking into it.

little miss normal didn't hear what the group was talking about because she hasn't stopped reminiscing internally about how good it felt when she successfully managed to say her joke at the right time to make everyone laugh 30 minutes ago

just did a weird roleplay with a Michaels employee in which I pretended to be the world’s oldest most pretentious teenager purchasing fancy spray paint to huff

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

me: why do you need my id? so I don’t graffiti stuff?

employee: it’s so you aren’t a teen huffing it for drugs

me: do teens even do that anymore? i feel like we have more appealing options for underage drug abuse these days

employee: yeah it’s just silly

me, adopting a transatlantic drawl: my father says that pedestrian drugs are beneath me. the common rabble can get their hands on all kinds of things these days. that’s why I stick to tradition.

employee: only the finest metallic effect spray paints for your family

me: father says I have a legacy to uphold if I am to inherit his estate.

employee: the gold symbolizes inherited wealth

me: yes! quite right. you are so wise in the ways of old money

employee: have a nice day. and get out of here before my boss hears you

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

[draconym]

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

[draconym]

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.

[earhartsease]

where's the future we were promised where robots do the gender for us

the differences between alcohol, tobacco, and anything else in america is kind of absurd and it’s hard to wrap your head around without going kinda insane

[hemipenal-system]

you can drink alcoholic drinks in public if you want BUT ☝️ only in some places. you can smoke cigarettes almost fucking anywhere though, even though that makes the environment way worse for everyone around you. however you cannot smoke cannabis anywhere. you can’t even have it at all in a lot of places. having open containers (i.e. a bottle of liquor you’ve drank from before) of alcohol in your vehicle is illegal EVEN IF you’re sober as a nun. you can smoke in your car. everything has so much caffeine in it that sometimes a drink just hospitalizes or kills you. you can buy caffeine pills to stay awake at drugstores and gas stations. you need a drivers license to get decongestants and you have to jump through hoops and bark like a trained seal to get any kind of hrt or psychiatric medication. they sell cigs literally everywhere. they wreck your life and finances and make you smell horrid and give you cancer but a bunch of rich people are dumping so much money into keeping them legal that seemingly the only thing the government can do is “ehhh they give you cancer but we can’t BAN them.” cannabis has well-documented medical properties but old white people think smoking it makes you a satanist because of racist government propaganda. hell world

Ya know what I should kidnap a princess it's been awhile since I've done something fun for myself

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

Okay so it's been a few months since I kidnapped the princess and uh. No one has come to try to rescue her yet. Like at all. I sent a spy to the kingdom and they just don't care. Like they know she's gone and they're not bothering. She's been crying for a few days straight now. Idk what I'm supposed to do here.

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

An update on the princess. She kinda broke and was very... hollow for a bit there. It took some time to get her interested in learning magic but she eventually came around to it. I'm trying to goad her into reaping bloody vengeance on the family that abandoned her but she's just been really focused on her studies. Maybe once she's more capable, she is still a beginner after all.

[john-boneman-lich-lord]

It's been a couple of months and the princess' progess on her magical studies is absolutely *stellar* I swear this kid is a generational prodigy she's already bent a Cambion to her will and is casting higher level necromancy and evocation spells. She's such a good apprentice. Is this what it's like to be a proud dad? I'm buying her a gift. Teenage girls enjoy tomes full of dark rituals and such, yeah?
