sick of people analysing the pandemic's impact on our collective consciousness while also speaking of it in the past tense. it's still going on. people are in denial more than ever. we need to speak of it in the present tense.

truly don't understand why terfs cling to "adult human female" so much because like... you have a different definition of female to trans-inclusive people. this isn't a gotcha.

it's extremely obvious that when marxists talk about "identity politics", what they're really talking about any issue that doesn't directly affect cishet white men.

once again begging people to learn the difference between generic gendered language (especially the generic masculine) and gender-neutral language. "guy" is not a gender-neutral term just because you sometimes call women that.

the most frustrating thing is criticising how a fictional character has been written and people respond to you as if the fiction character is a real person and by criticising them you're not respecting their agency

Not vaccinating your kids should be considered child abuse.
I do think parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate their kids.
I also think schools, sports teams, and other clubs or activities should absolutely have the right to exclude those who don’t want to participate in keeping these communities safe by getting vaccinated.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

One of my favorite parts of having the hockey game on is when they cut into the middle of the action so some dirt bag can tell me I "still have time" to gamble on tonight's game. JFC, the damage gambling is doing to sports. They should've left everything in the hands of the mafia where it belongs.

the point here is true, but jonathan ross has been in ice for 10 years, not 18. before that he worked for the us border patrol for 8 years, and before that he worked for the national guard for 6 years. which is to say, abolish ice, but also abolish the us border patrol and the national guard.
Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.

you ever watch a small to medium sized youtube channel and think "this is good but it's very obvious you are trying to imitate a bigger youtube channel". like there's this one video watching right now and it's good but it's also clear that he's trying to be jon bois
