  • When I was young and discovering myself, my existence was illegal in my area and queer people in my area were still heavily persecuted.

    I won't go into details about the terrible things I've seen and experienced as I'm sure nobody here wants to hear it.

    Laughing not to cry and all that you know?

    Edit: I'm also not a fan of how you brought (and doubled down) on trying to make it a race thing.

  • As long as they're shitposting and not shitting while posting on the bus I think we'll be fine.

  • A running stereotype is that all queer people can dance, I can assure you that us not the case.

    My dancing skills would best be referred to as a slow motion full body seizure.

  • It is a tragedy

    And this is a shit post

    Sometimes you just have to laugh to not cry you know?

  • Unfortunately I know people who literally talk about how they're "just waiting for the orders" anytime queer people, homeless people, liberal politics in general come up.

    It's an incredibly shitty feeling. Going through life knowing that there are people literally down the road just waiting for the chance to brutally murder someone for loving someone.

    And I live in the US in an area commonly referred to as a blue state. Literally on the border of a major metro area.

  • "Gay Agenda" maybe?

    IDK some people really do go about their lives hunting for anything with any relation to the thing (or group) they hate. They think about the thing (or group) they hate more than those that are the thing (or group) in question.

  • I have no idea what kind of critter that is but damn is it cool looking

  • This is the one that breaks my brain

  • Straight facts

    Though my party hasn't done some as intimately evil as your play did, they've definitely committed some crimes against humanity at this point.

    Selling WMDs to a crime lord, giving goblin Hitler (they never asked his political aspirations) access to a weapons manufacturing plant on par with WW1 tech, etc, etc.

  • I'd say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you're failing to see the biases inherent to the content you're consuming. There's the flaw of "I think it's this way" seeking out that content and not seeing that it's poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

    Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you're reinforcing.

    It's a complicated can of worms for sure.

  • "Won't someone please think of the shareholders‽"

    Sucks to suck, I'm so looking forward to easy cancellation from services.

  • NGL aspects of my current life were merely dreams to me a decade ago.

    The novelty of having running water on tap will never get old to me, or having a hot shower whenever I want, or a fridge to keep food in.

    Of course there's also aspects that make me feel like I'm living in the horror of how things could be. I find myself waking sometimes wishing to have what I had then, even if it meant losing everything I have now.

    Letting my reality be wiped away like the sleep from my eyes just to be back then to have what I lost.

    But of course even those years back then (and before) weren't great. In fact many of them were so terrible that to this day (at over 30) I keep a small light in my room so that when the PTSD kicks into over drive in the night I can quickly figure out where I am to quickly ground myself in reality.

    The horrors persist, but so do I. For how can I can the jewels of life unless I continue the search?

  • The funeral industry (in a nutshell) is hella expensive

    Cost of the plot, scheduling, cost of a casket, prepping the deceased, if there's anything special there's that cost as well, etc

    There's a reason I tell my family that when I die, cremate me and put my remains in a coffee can. If you wanna schedule some kind of event do it completely removed from the funeral parlor.

  • Funnily enough I picked Dr. Pepper as a guy because I think "Doctor hocking Miracle Tonic" and I think of late 1800s "doctor" do sleazy shit

  • It's more a "If a company doesn't comply with a coutry's regulations then it can't operate in that country" thing and not a joke.

    For example Twitter when it was blocked in Brazil for a little while because they didn't want to pay a fine for not complying with some of their regulations.

  • Sounds like it'll need blocked in Ireland then

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

    Fuck Spez
