Trek is best when they have more hours to fill than budget.

I understand it's person's point, but I'm not going to fucking listen to it from a white Englishman. For all the bad the USA has done, it hasn't reached the British empire level.

"It's okay if children die/ it's okay to kill children in the name of resistance" is sort of where I draw the line.

I will never use the term usian or usaians. If you do I will just dismiss anything you say. If you must, any use USAmericans.

I'm here by declaring war against everyone who says, "25YO IS JUST BABY UWU!! SO IMMATURE! So BABY!" I have never seen a cohort of adults so interested in being stripped of the title of being adult. Who actively want to avoid being in charge of themselves.

Hey @margaret.bsky.social , I was a hanger on in the NYC goth scene 25 years ago, what band were you in? Because I'm curious if I've seen you? I went to a lot of shows.

Post your favourite LOTR characters, wrong answers only

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

I understand the reasons some non-Americans have for using this, but this post is correct — you’ll be immediately ignored here if you use it. If I wrote a post referring to “UKians” all the people living there would ignore me too, and rightly so.

This reminds me of the person on Twitter who insisted that it was ableist for authors to charge for ttrpg books. Because in order for them to be accessible, they had to be affordable. I think they also insinuated that it was racist, But I don't clearly remember.

They might not get him for assaulting or obstructing ice. But they'll get him for the other things and do the maximum penalty. The license plate not registered to him that he was using to avoid parking fees? Yeah they're going to get them for that.

You need to rebuild trust in scientists. Because the public has a lot of really good reasons not to trust them. The entire field looks down upon science communicators. And rewards the kind of asshole cutthroat publish or perish behavior this does not loan itself towards informing the public

It's just wild to act like "there are social rules that you will not be told about and you absolutely MUST follow them or someone will act like you put sugar in their gas tank" is unique to neurotypical people. And if you think that way, you might not notice you're doing it!

This is around when I gave up on social media as a cause for social change.

The new assemblage 23 album is the best one since Meta. Highly recommend picking it up.

I have ADHD and a cold spot on my foot that will not go away without direct skin contact with a heating pad set to max. Can't be a heated fan. That actually makes it colder. Needs to be direct skin contact with a heating pad. My life is a living hell and none of my work is getting done.

Your local conservative neighbor loves this. Your local conservative neighbor wants you dead. Your local conservative neighbor is going to kill you. Go out and buy a gun. Do what you will.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

I'd like to thank conservatives for dehumanizing themselves. Because it means I don't have to.

If last week I had made the suggestion that there was a blacklist of actors who did not Support Israel, you would think I was being anti-Semitic. Yet here we are. It's like they saw every anti-semitic canard and decided to make them true...

They did this to the author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social once when he was younger. Stopped him at the border and wouldn't let him in because he didn't have enough money. Years upon years later when he had already become probably a millionaire, they still stop him at the border for an interview

DNI this, DNI that. If you post anything on Al Gore's internet than anyone anywhere is allowed to interact.

They want the US populace to be sick, ignorant, religiously conservative, uneducated, and attached to the status quo. An easily exploitable population.

What happened to these people, who are mostly now adults, where a media IP became a core part of their personality? When did a corporate brand become a core part of their identity seemingly permanently?

To answer your question, yes, they will come for us all if needed. Yes, they will kill us all. Everyone who opposes them will be considered "antifa".

Declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group and declaring "antifa" a terrorist group... It's all connected to how any and all Palestinians (and their supporters) are immediately labeled Hamas, and in many cases that seems to justify their killing. Please make the connection.

Deer leftists: Don't fall for conspiracy thinking. The government doesn't need to engage in vast conspiracy theories to arrest leftists. They will just arrest them and find justification later.

My father got angry with me when I tried to explain groypers to him. Refused to even entertain the notion that the mainstream media would either have no one on staff to explain internet culture, or would not bother to get a consultant who does. "it doesn't make sense" NO DAD! IT DOESN'T!

I think they want to reduce the population by a couple of dozen million. Probably in cities. Of course all the rich folks will travel abroad to get their vaccines and treatments. And they will have private sources for all of their medicine and food. All tested independently.

Brought my old camcorder to AnimeNYC! It was a lot of fun to go.

Every complain I have seen about #AnimeNYC can be answered with a question: "First time, huh?" It is obvious these people have never been to an anime con before. "why does it smell? Why is it so crowded? Why is there hentai? Why are the cosplayers half naked? Why is everything so expensive"

Not really being in the fanfic, I have no clue what a lot of authors and readers are talking about will describing new works of fiction. Like when did people stop saying protagonist?

Oh yes, fantastic cosplay photos from San Diego Comic-Con. Let's see what the comments are saying? "FUCKING WHORES ARE RUINING MY HOBBY WITH THEIR SLUTTY OUTFITS!" And it's just a voluptuous woman dressed like Sue Storm looking up at Galactus longingly.

Fracking toasters

The show that appealed to three anime demographics: People who like mechs People who like fights People who like cute boys. That about covered all the bases

This is just an example of how they will outlaw without outlawing content cons find objectionable. Make it impossible to purchase, then allow banks to close accounts of those businesses who sell. Have payment processors threaten everyone in the supply chain involved in production.

BOOKMARKING

Because men hate women & immigrants. They want to be able to "tell it like it us".

If you follow any zionist accounts, I will block you.

This is just sectarianism. Historically abrahamic faiths are extremely violent. Holy scripture means whatever the people at the time need it to mean. Insisting that you have it right and everyone else has it wrong is no different than a street preacher in front of a Catholic church.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

When you accept an invitation to a fascist’s podcast to “debate” them, you’re implying: 1) They’re worth your time and attention 2) Their platform deserves public recognition 3) They’re engaging in good faith 4) Their ideology is a legitimate subject for open debate

DO NOT DEBATE WITH FLAT EARTHERS

I post so much on Facebook everyone has me muted. Maybe I should post here? I don't want to come across like a whiner

I didn't really want to believe that AOC was voting to fund Israel, but it really looks like she's funding the iron dome and pretending that it's not funding Israel. She obviously is aiming to become part of the controlled opposition elite.

The only way to deal with the room full of fascist is with a fucking grenade or other IED.

My (also)40's friend mentioned to me she was seeing a rise in misogyny from men, especially young men. She is not online. She sees this IRL. I'm getting shit from young men online for not being one of them. For showing respect. I can only imagine how bad it is for women

I'm extremely glad that I am not the only one who hates the term neurospicy. I am a deviation from the norm. I am different. I am not average. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Major spoiler about Superman in the free folk subreddit 3 days after premiered. Do I have to act as if I fucking despise all genre media and find it psychically repulsive? Is that the only way to avoid spoilers? Just stay off of the internet in its entirety until you consume a piece of media?
