You pretending it’s unprecedented is privileged and incorrect. This the first time since the Japanese internments that white or white adjacent people have regularly suffered illegal search and seizure and been made to feel unsafe in public in the US. The person you responded to brought up plenty of precedent for stuff that’s as bad or almost as bad that has been accepted treatment of non-white people in the states since it became a country. You don’t get to accuse somebody of being disingenuous because they care about the plight of people you seem to be happy to marginalize by claiming and defending that this is unprecedented. The only thing unprecedented about the current state of affairs is that white people are suffering because of it too

Contradiction isn’t nuance

Gonna be honest, I’m not reading that slop. You open by telling me that I’m dead wrong, then immediately confirming that my guess as to your political leaning was half correct, which sets a very clear tone that you’re here to mudwrestle on the internet rather than engage in a discussion. If you want to try again I’ll talk to you, but I’m not interested in trading novels high on insults and low on reading comprehension with you.

I’m pro LGBTQ

against trans-women in women’s sports

No, you’re not pro lgbtq. You’re a TERF at best

against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. (…) pro taxing the rich

pro merit success

??? Do you understand what any of those words mean? “Pro merit success” directly contradicts each of the social policies you claim to support.

Pro climate policies

I’m also against fossil fuel bans

You’re either lying about one of these or you somehow think we can stop climate change without stopping the most significant cause of climate change?

Does the complete lack of internal consistency in your worldview not bother you at all? You have no defined political leaning, you have a bunch of emotionally driven contradictory political opinions that you clearly have little to no understanding of.

Given that description, I’d guess you probably call yourself a centrist and vote conservative.

Sure, if you’re a TERF and believe that validating trans people is violence against women. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you probably don’t recognize that as a TERF talking point, I’d advise you to be more careful about where you source your facts lest you end up accidentally spewing hate. If you are a TERF, I’d advise you that trans rights are human rights and you should stop being a bigot.

TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012

Minor disagreement. I’m a straight dude who celebrates gay pride, and that usually comes off as a green flag to women considering sleeping with me

She got blue, I’d let her smash

This is how you get the thoroughbred of sin riding across the nation

I used to have repeated ingrown problems with one of my big toes. The eventual solution was the doctor chemically burning my nailbed in that toe and now I don’t have a toenail there and it doesn’t grow back at all

Glad you like it :)

And hey, you never know. You’re a person on the internet I don’t know; I wouldn’t want to look like a fool in front of you and your deer furry lover if that happens to be your situation

With a reflective pool of water on the forest floor. Like the rest of us

Realizing that my father was a coward killing goat herders from a billion dollar jet, not a hero like I thought growing up.

I’m sure this is real and that guy is super talented, but I’d love to see a video of somebody who couldn’t do this but still had confidence because they thought the video would be edited so the bread didn’t all fall to the ground

At least it’s not forty cakes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible

Avatars are a psychological trick useful for building up sunk cost fallacy and making a user more likely to personally identify with a product. I don’t have social media avatars for the same reason I don’t have “nabisco” tattooed on my asscheek.

Huh. I always thought the big trucks would do better in the wind, and I’ve never questioned that assumption. TIL

Texas. Not even once.
