those loony leftists can't handle a guy who's a little rough around the edges* * has a permanent tattoo of a prominent nazi symbol on his chest

"Dudes rock!" "Oh, you think rapists rock?!" is the kind of exchange a forums poster would build their entire worldview around if it happened on Tumblr 15 years ago

homosexuals at Pride regarding the gender they're not attracted to:

My favorite part of Pride is the WLWs being mad at men existing in public without even pretending it's about a specific issue like manspreading

His supporters/defenders will try to lead people into the "cheating doesn't matter" conversation and that's not really the problem here. He's a whole made up dude. Everything about him has been putting out fires. Why would you trust him? I just don't understand this.

The bigger concern that I think most people are purposely ignoring is this guy hasn't spent one minute in office. You have zero clue how this guy would vote. He could be a straight up GOP plant! Likely? No. But we have zero to go on except he's tried to hide every part of his life from voters

I want you to do as little as possible at work this week. Just like every other week.

Amigara roads, take me home, to the hole, where I belong

I've noticed that people who want us to overlook the tattoo will call us either centrists or hardcore leftists, depending on whom they don't like. For the record I'm a leftist, I just have standards and don't like Nazis :)

Literacy encapsulates MULTIPLE SKILLS, and listening is one of them.

There is a reason why most teachers supplement in-class reading with listening along or reading aloud.

Hi. Educator here, with a masters in critical pedagogy, focused on literature and language arts. Listening to an audio book is reading. It is a key part of literacy. Eat shit and fuck off.

It’s shocking to me that Teams has managed to cement itself as a product like every other job uses. With every other Microsoft product I’m like “yeah I get it that makes sense” but Teams sucks and is less than ten years old.

Let me tell you bout my best friend,!! This is Mr Nicks and he’s a 3-4 year old rescue super star #adoptdontshop

Oh shit, I just had an idea: Castlevania game where you play as the librarian from SOTN, shelving the books

Me seeing the name Queequeg in Moby Dick for the first time: hey it's scullys dogs name

*typical graham platner supporter online* "technically, blue no matter who includes nazis"

One time during fleet week I was in Taco Bell waiting for my order and this guy in a navy uniform wouldn’t stop talking to me about how much fire sauce made his asshole hurt and I’ve always had kind of a low opinion of the armed forces after that

if you followed for mutual aid and politics and hate the sports I would love to tell you about how sports build community and a lot of your underlying judgments about them are probably rooted in classism

Great day for blue check accounts to say the dumbest shit imaginable

We love cosmic horror so much because the experience of using the Internet, if you are more than a casual user, is basically the same thing as uncovering the horrific secret of an ancient city

Dissolving Fillers Leave Face Completely Concave

The doctor said “You have ADHD” and I told him I have 100 HDs thank you very much

Will Wheaton was really propped up by the whole "nerd culture" thing in the 2000s/2010s, and his insufferableness became very clear when we all got tired of that whole schtick circa 2016.

the old men in the trees

Mina the Hollower looks pretty baller. I liked shovel Knight well enough, but I wasn't a huge fan or anything. But this looks so much more interesting to me.

The people who keep saying that map screens are for babies, handholding in games is bad, etc should just play obscenely complicated board games instead

I warned you! fxtwitter.com/NicolasWR/st...

What is it with people named wil or will being incredibly tiresome

I think I need to read Moby Dick.

I'm a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground's walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.

"this does your cause no favors" I shout as two bullies play keep away with my backpack

Every time an extremely liberal take gets spread around here, I'm reminded that bluesky is kind of like if in high school most of the jocks actually went to parties on senior ditch day and the handful of geeks on the av team suddenly rule campus for a day

Watching YIMBYs argue that protecting endangered species is ableist and lower taxes are progressive really drives home that politics are aesthetics and not ideology for way too many people on this site.

Time to read more of Normal People, the novel where everyone is constantly fucking but somehow bdsm is equated with abuse

System shock has that thing where you run out of the good ammo really fast and have to make due, only better than pretty much any other game does it

You know what, Rally's seasoned fries hot from the fryer are absolutely unmatched

Astrology For Men is a perfect description and a book waiting to happen

This goes hard, you should read it

I think often when people say "nihilism" they really mean "misanthropy"

I generally roll my eyes at the way a lot of people talk about kojima because it reeks of desperation. We so desperately want a compelling auteur figure that we'll go for a guy who puts ridiculous diarrhea jokes in his supposedly brilliant spy thriller games

anyone who did not think kojima was 100% on board with genai crap was living in another reality. this guy has done nothing but look for ways to make games worse since getting the boot at konami

stop making me write self-evaluations leave me alone and give me a performance rating of He Did His Job, please and thank you I have no more ambition, I do not need a promotion, I will do good work, just stop bothering me about it

Witcher 3 was just as disappointing to me as 2 and 1. The love people have for that series has always baffled me. The mechanics always feel slapdash, like you can just do whatever and none of it matters.
