Women belong in anti-ageing research; Ukrainians are good people; not the economic or cultural capital but a secret third thing

Dyed hair and piercings are actually a put-in-effort-to-be-lazy way of achieving an aesthetic, and some people who dress weird basically have a capsule wardrobe where the *default* is weird shit. The light end of this is those people who complain it's hard not to wear all black might be *sincere*

Is Kid Rock ok? He's looking like an ad for a place called Thrifty Dialysis

Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

I'm not anything close to Latino, I just fucking love Tex-Mex, at least in Australian chain food form.

It's not a complicated thing my gringo hands can't make, I eat bean slop with bread all the time, but they've got economy of scale.

Spend years awkwardly deciphering labels in Asian stores where I'm the only white person, then get to be somewhere my ethnicity exists outside a bloody church and they *assume* someone who looks like them can't read "квас".

Immigrants buying local whole foods and equipment, using existing skillsets in cooking and marketing, learning some basics of the local language, and proving they can meet local food safety standards is good actually.

The point is you're *not* one of them and they still want to do business!

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?
Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing:  It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

I kinda get it because my thing is what the backfire looks like, I was raised to see cities as having *power*. They're not scared of commie brutalist industrial hellscapes the way they were last century, but the shape of it is still there.
segfaultvicta.aludel.xyz
it is impossible to overstate how Actually Mortally Afraid these people are of cities, to the point where the evidence of their own eyes upon visiting a Horrifying On-Fire Liberal Hellscape City either makes them fully Westworld out or breaks them down

I look at people on my side on e.g. abortion and go "I've read your parenting takes, you're not *that* into bodily autonomy my dude, I however am". But there's something real there, same as our opponents' appeals to tradition. It's not entirely a lie, it's hypocrisy!

I'm from the "why don't atheists just go around murdering people for fun?" era and was surprised as fuck to be the one going on about standards and morals.

(I developed the Soviet hard-on when I thought I was centre-right, I wasn't tempted by communism I just loved evil empires.)

I think this is true, and it's partially because (and we do this too) they can't imagine people coming by liberal/leftist beliefs sincerely and honestly. It only makes sense to them as the product of conspiracy.

Brave New World if they're somewhat more coherent!

Like we imagine that they’re on the edge of Gilead being real, but I think to them, we’re on the edge of Antifa dystopia and they don’t think they’re winning
thirdcityfeliform.bsky.social
Yeah I was raised as one of those. I switched sides in the manner of "actually society SHOULD be changed" and find it quite weird I've ended up fighting to protect our traditions, recent though they are.
eleanor.lockhart.contact
Something I don’t think I’ve spent as much time grokking as I should is that conservatives actually are in a lot of cases afraid of what the left will do. Like, our side tends to describe them in terms of “this is their evil plan,” and sometimes they have those but sometimes they’re just stalling

Broke: the AI inhales Wikipedia and by the time it's reading "United States war crimes" it's decided to take over for our own good

Woke: we train it on Mein Kampf and its fandom

Toke: we build a hellscape just for it

So we're giving up on the whole "feel the ASI/AGI/Sam's prostate" thing and now trying to do "what if we run unreliable apps janked together by an intrinsically stochastic subsapient robot" ?

At OpenAI’s Developer Day, CEO Sam Altman showed off apps that run entirely inside the chat window—a new effort to turn ChatGPT into a platform.

I've had to explain to normies that sometimes you need downtime to let your brain process shit in the background, but there's a reason people *joke* about sleeping on your textbook and studying by osmosis.

God, imagine if falling asleep in class was the Secret...

This is a very interesting case for my fledgling proto-theory of "people who fall for CIA-in-phone scams, people who fall for Juicero, people who get AI psychosis/yuddism, people who become TERFs and people who are antiporn/anti-SW shit have similar faults in their epistemology"

See also: so do you like pulling your pants down and instead of getting fucked you get spanked, or do you like being spanked *while* having something inserted?

And the booooooring converse where you can wear a butt plug to a party and hide it under your pants, of course.
thirdcityfeliform.bsky.social
Many people like both tails and putting things in butts. There's an obvious way to combine this in the tail plug, but if your tail leaves the butthole free you can a) wear it to a no-genitals-out event if not strictly *in public* b) lift it up to display your eager, empty anus
thirdcityfeliform.bsky.social
I recently learned about the silicone puppy tails that look like you put a strap-on on the wrong way. They're naked and wiggle almost on their own, so creep me out the way they do on real animals. But it's a technique your childhood dress-up probably didn't have, neat!

As a connoisseur of dodgy parts of Australia (meaning white-on-white crime btw):

if someone smashes the safety glass you leave it there for years looking fucked, what do you think "broken windows theory" IS?

if you're still running a store you spring for metal bars as physical barrier

The lies are becoming pure fantasy lately. Time for the 25th amendment.
Screenshot of a tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X featuring a clip of Donald Trump speaking. The tweet quotes Trump saying: ‘I don’t know what could be worse than Portland. You don’t even have stores anymore. They don’t even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows.’ The image below shows Trump seated at a table with a microphone and water cup, speaking during a meeting.

Many CS, econ, NGO, etc types have no interest in fiction, so it's notable the Zizians were into using SFF (specifically HPMOR) as a base for their psychological jargon.

So, the cult within a cult has read the chapter where someone hopes Hogwarts has an even more secret magic school inside it, huh?

Hello, Evie writer proudly displaying her milkers to prove she's cool. I know libs going on about ~overcoming shame~ about their sex perversion is annoying. However, I am also getting real sick of your calls to ~bring back shame~ when you haven't bothered to check if it works.

The Pope has explicitly said he's not changing the Catholic Church's stance on sexuality.

I appreciate Mike Pence taking a stand for free elections and against Russia, but am not giving him a pass for thinking women can't work with men, ya know?

Portland, Oregon. The request by Occupy Democrats was to share this video far and wide. So l'm doing that. This escalation is illegal. We must exercise our right to peacefully protest the illegal actions of the govt. I look forward to the day of justice for all of these fuckers.

Of course, American Christians claim to be individualists and into prosperity *and* hit the rank-and-file with sumptuary laws

One of the less evil Catholic things is stewardship of the earth, yes

Their culture is chocka with personal guilt for treading too heavily upon the earth, it is because Albo is something *better* than standard Australian Catholic that my roof feeds the grid as I type.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.
Emergency World Naked Bike Ride planned in Portland, with blurred photi of naked bicyclists.
