  • My little brother, I’m fairly certain, pioneered this technique in dealing with our racist parents.

    My parents would say something casually awful, about LGBTQ, Black, Latino, or Muslim people and my lil bro would sarcastically, and enthusiastically agree, stringing their point along to the logical conclusion of their hate-centered universe, and watch them get more and more uncomfortable.

    example:

    parents: “Black people are just genetically more violent”

    lil Bro: “Oh yeah, they’re genetically inferior all right, and genes can be altered before birth, so we should treat melanin as a genetic anomaly and edit it entirely out. we should put the rest in cages and make them perform like in a zoo. Everyone who isn’t perfectly milky alabaster white should be shot out of a cannon and into the sun. My freckles are a sin to god and we should cut them out of our bodies ritualistically. My friend Gary is black, let’s go fucking shoot him for it.”

    Parents: 😶

    I had been away for a minute and watched it happen for the first time, and I laughed, applauded, and clapped my bro on the back… So proud of him.


  • don’t know what subjective is lol, mate do you not have to remember to use other birth control, not have to have it physically with you, does taking, organizing, and ensuring the steady presence of pills, shots, and whatever not produce some challenge?

    You invented some arbitrary metric of “birth control is only convenient and effective when you don’t have to carry it with you,” and then been an ass about condoms not meeting that subjective, arbitrary measurement. As if it’s such a strain on your gentle countenance to bear the massive weight of less than 2 grams. Do you go out on dates entirely naked? Do you not carry your phone, wallet, keys, and trousers with you? Well you need underwear in order to maintain good hygiene for your balls, and because you’ve got to carry them around, they’re not very convenient are they?

    You’re an absolute tosser. Just say you hate women, mate. that’d be easier.






  • Their worldview quite literally stems from the idea that there should be Out-Groups whom the law binds but does not protect, and In-Groups whom the law protects but does not bind.

    That’s how they square their “don’t tread on me” attitude with their want of big government. They recognize that in order to properly humiliate and subjugate “the others,” they need a big state militarized police force and constant surveillance, but if they were ever themselves to fall victim to it, then they cry foul. They can’t learn the lesson until they’re caught up in it, and usually instead of updating their opinion and voting like it, they simply drop out of the democratic process all together, saying that “both parties are the same.”

    They are the uneducated simpletons that the founding fathers feared, which is why they originally wanted only educated people to vote. I’m, uh, starting to come around to the idea myself.





  • oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza

    CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”

    After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.

    In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”

    In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.


  • I mean, is 98% effective not effective enough?

    I personally wouldn’t want a male birth control pill, because I’d have to remember to take it, and it’d inevitably have unforeseen side effects. Add into that the hassle of getting it paid for through insurance, having to go to a doctor for it, what if that one doesn’t work, gotta try a different one, each time you have to commit to taking that pill for several months to ensure your body adjusts to it before you can rule it out… what a nightmare! Nah, I’ll just wrap my willy until it’s time for a vasectomy.
