And every comments section is one person saying "I went to therapy once and it was awful" and people being like "amen".

The wealthy now outsource all of their brains. This used to happen too, but at least the powerful usually had to at least have a brain for numbers or organization. Now we have entire machines that are designed to keep any idiot propped up like weekend at Bernie's. Running solely on the will of hundreds of people who just don't want to lose their paycheck.

Honestly the time this is most reminiscent of is medieval kings and rulers who were the 4th in a lineage and were so inbred and not educated that they couldn't string a sentence together.

Reminds me of the green text of the HR person who throws the top half of the resume pile in the garbage because they don't want unlucky people working there

Inland empire is about 3 hours long

If a leaf was broken up into microscopic bits and flung into the air you wouldn't be able to determine what color it was either. So at best the thing thats missing is that there's a lot less air.

To be clear: I am not on the dads side but I get it. Imagine wanting to share a once-in-a-lifetime hike up mount Fuji with your sons and having to turn around most of the way to the summit because your kid doesn't understand how special this is and doesn't understand that they might regret it. Not to mention you have another kid who would be missing out on the experience cause their brother's a little shit.

Not saying the dad should have done that, but I would also be conflicted.

100% also cause they were learning games like Monopoly or Risk which are just not even worth a well-explained teach. Also games nowadays have actual thought and research put into how they lay out their rules.

I'll say: it really seems like that call is coming from inside the house. Lots of former conservatives can get by in leftist spaces by just not being a conservative when asked about their opinions. If you can laugh at who you used to be you can absolutely be a reformed conservative. Maybe you have to be a few years removed from who you used to be but I've seen it, I know people who have gone through exactly that and they're as left as anyone now. Mostly because being a leftist means engaging with and being in the normal world.

But if you're in a conservative environment even the smallest dissent can be seen as fully treasonous. It spirals into hysteria and we see how conservatives have to live in an alternate reality to stay in the in-group.

Oh, no I understand they're trying to continue it by saying life isn't BDSM because it doesn't care about consent. I think that misses the joke which starts from that premise and adds the absurdity of suggesting that maybe there is consent going on it's just that you forgot the safe word.

I think they missed the joke because saying that there's actually no consent is kind of removing layers from the joke, not adding a new one.

I feel like you don't quite get the joke here.

Ah yes, the dream to have less fun and be less fulfilled but make a lot of money. And then do... What exactly was the goal again?

Lots of maga people are going to find out quickly that a major function of government jobs and social welfare programs are to redistribute wealth from the rich cities to the country.

It hits for me when I'm typing it out and I can already read the braindead response they're going to type and I don't want to spend another 2 paragraphs preempting the obvious response and I definitely don't want to wait a few hours/days to explain why they're still wrong.

Filament died of cringe 😔

I think this person's point was lost when they drew the creatures to be very cute as well.

Counterpoint: it's free and easy to use.

The absolute worst is them saying socialism is pessimistic because it thinks people can't do anything for themself and coddles them with a nanny state. Then turns around and says "you have to structure capitalism assuming every single person is a greedy sociopath hellbent on fucking over everyone else to make money."

Shitass little kid can't even think of what to turn a tree into. LMAO

It's so sad, because veganism is a good force in our culture. Look at all of the vegan meat alternatives and more and more restaurants that have to have at least vegetarian options in certain areas. That wasn't a thing 20 years ago.

Vegan diets help the environment and improve health. But many vegans get this brain rot, probably a consequence of a superiority complex where they have to police everything around them. It happens in a lot of communities.

I'm not a vegan. But the idea has me eating less and less meat every year.
