that’s what i figured as well. all i’ve been doing is posting about how cops are bad, bikes are good, and i like funk music. real fuckyouinparticular vibes, huh?

agreed. that’s why i’m saying it’s so important to use it when teaching kids about religion.

ik this is a shitpost but that’s like the worst possible way to handle that situation

i’m like a third-generation none, my parents were both raised secular and their marriage was officiated by a guy from the a.h.a., but i had some christian classmates in like kindergarten or first grade (public school in california) and i sorta half remember asking my mom some question about something i’d heard them say at some point or another, and what she did was she explained to me (in 5yo detail, anyway) what christianity even was, which i didn’t really understand at that point, and that was enough to make it clear to me how silly it all was.

one of the easiest ways to figure out who to trust, imo, is looking for who can most accurately and fairly describe what their opponents’ argument is. trying to hide it away from a kid who’s looking for answers is just going to make it more intriguing. going over it in detail makes it clear what the problems are.

e: damn, who’d i piss off

I’d take that as inevitable period at this point.

i mean, having an extra pair of arms coming off your boobs could be useful

no, they’re just swords

margaret thatcher, pat robertson, and rush limbaugh’s deaths were enough to make me wish there was a hell for them to go to, but sadly, they just stopped existing, like everyone else

Guy was my best friend in middle school. We reconnected after I graduated from college, played and beat L4D and L4D2 together. Then he started sending me political memes, and they were all fascist.

I tried to reason with him, but then he refused to engage with anything that was longer than like a page, or any video/audio source longer than about five minutes, but didn’t seem to have any problem sending me stuff way longer than that.

I still wonder if there was more I could have done. But I just didn’t need that in my life. I’m not some hero, I’m a downwardly-mobile working-class schlub who’s pretty good at playing piano and riding a bike. I shouldn’t be responsible for dragging this dipshit back from the depths of fascism just because he sat next to me in seventh grade history class, and honestly, with some of the things he claimed to believe, I probably didn’t even want him on my side anymore.

That’s what I tell myself, anyway.

i don’t think so, they have different shaped faces and bodies and different hair colors

what the fuck is up denny’s

Bottom right is cool in a vacuum, but there’s like… a shade of swastika to it? I dunno, maybe that’s just extremely online of me, but I’d be a little hesitant on it for that reason as compared to middle bottom.

The one that strikes my fancy the most is middle right, maybe just because it reminds me a little bit of Strava. Maybe the Fediverse colors could be applied to that one in some way, maybe teal and blue on top, red and orange on bottom, and purple as a fill? Or blue and purple on top with teal as a fill. In my head that looks cool, but in practice it might look like total ass. Worth trying anyway imo.

WTF? Are they trying to get hit with brute force attacks?

this is the funniest thing i have seen today

Even calling it a news update isn’t really accurate. It’s more akin to “water is wet.”

systemic change is required, that’s for sure. as to the how of that? fucked if i know tbh

unfortunately as long as they’re still subject to the whims of global capitalism, they will never be free from perverse incentives

What we had has gone away.

that’s the kind of line i would come up with in the shower three days later and be so mad i didn’t think of on the spot

sometimes i get ads for like maternity stuff or jewelry or cars

i’m a guy with a vasectomy and not enough money for a car

it’s very funny
