Rojava, the most successful anarchist project, used the cunning trick of making a state and calling it an anarchist society. So far the anarchists haven't twigged.

The reason SF is seen as a transgressive genre is 'cuz all the interesting transgressive stories got remembered while the schlock was doomed to obscurity (Don't take this take as gospel, I'm not an authority or an expert on the history of SF)

If I recall correctly, the editor of one of the most prolific classic sci-fi magazines, one John Campbell, insisted on every story featuring aliens have them be inferior to humans because it reflected his white supremacist views.

Anyways this is a distraction from the real solution, everything is Paraguay

Pretty much the only thing that can make me jingoistic is hearing an Argie say he has a claim to the Falklands

I mean Yes, actually, all that convenience has a cost as an aggregate no matter how many times you point at a private jet and insist you’re Not Part Of The Problem

Really happy to see this but also

Good character includes an ability to regulate your emotions, to cultivate mutually satisfying relationships with others, to put life's ups and downs in their proper perspective, to let go of petty slights, and to laugh at oneself. Of course bad people are unhappy.

The number of times I've seen anarchists reinvent cops and then deny they're cops is quite funny. Fuck me at least us liberals admit that we need police and policing, albeit very much reformed!

Primary teacher here: If your kid is dressed as a donkey in the nativity, it's on purpose; they are an ass in the classroom. Equally, with angels - angelic for the majority of time. Wrote in a special cactus part one year for an odious little prick.

Oh boy I love image searching for that one "Mahjong causes great damage to the human spirit without a single benefit" meme with safe search on moderate and seeing an image of a degloving injury from an image scraper slop site Aren't you so glad to be on the modern internet

I have a vital seasonal life hack, regarding roasties. There is no point making roasties for one, so you may as well make them for two. And the only foolproof way to make enough roasties for two, is to make them for three. I will be taking no questions at this time.

you there boy, what bullshit is this

For years I have been refilling the "premium" named brand sauces in our cupboard with budget supermarket own brand, nobody in the house has ever questioned the taste or quality. Around every 6 months or so I have to renew the tatty bottle of the "premium" sauce.

YOU CANNOT TAME A TIGER INTO A KITTEN BY STROKING. YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH AN INCENDIARY BOMB

I’ve thought for years that, clearly, there’s a subset of trans people who actively want to be oppressed, and that those people are a serious obstacle to progress. But I’ve always been really confused as to WHY they want that. Thanks to @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com, I think maybe I get it now?
