Woke of the day

We aren’t talking about the majority of homophobes; we’re talking about homophobic lawmakers who push for anti-gay legislation - already performative of “banning” or “being tough on” their other “sins” like drugs or crime, and they keep getting caught doing drugs and gay things.

Statistically there are far fewer politicians than LGBTQA folks. So when some sociopath rises to power because they figured out they should be “tough” on all the things people hurt them for, all the things people appear to dislike, you’re not gonna get people with empathy who speak about a brighter inclusive future, you’re gonna get bullshit artists who draw on their own pain and twist it into a performance of what, in their mind, people seem to want. They prey on the prejudices of the masses.

And it works. The anti-drug politicians get caught with coke and speed. The anti-sex worker politicians get caught with prostitutes. The “save the children” freaks get caught with underage kids. The “fiscally responsible” get caught insider trading and money laundering. And the homophobes get caught with men.

Because the biggest flaw of democracy is to allow a person to deflect all the hatred they receive back out into the world and if they can perform it charismatically enough, they can use it to rise to power. Hell look at Trump, that’s how his superpower works. He can shit talk anything, and it fucking works on just enough people that it’s always been worth it for him to do it.

So if you are someone who sees the “anti-LGBTQA politicians are always closeted!” (or, are someone who is using/making jokes with it!) and it upsets you - make sure you understand that it’s not a comment on LGBTQA folks as a whole, it’s a remark about how society who’s majority is empathetic (normal humans) yet prejudiced (unfortunately currently also normal humans) will elect people who speak from their pain, and those abused by it will exploit their suffering to give that crowd exactly what they want.

The sociopath cornered into being closeted their whole life will scream from the rooftops about banning homosexuality, because not only did people stop hurting them but now have rewarded them greatly.

So no, the majority of homophobes are not closeted. But I’m willing to believe that doesn’t hold up in Washington.

PFOA is one of the most prominent forever-chemicals and has polluted every single living creature on earth (including you). PFTE is another one.

PFOA causes tumors and has been found in 100% of the places (including living creatures) that is has been tested for. Every human, every animal, every river, every forest, every senior, every newborn.

The real “tinfoil hat” is how we let them get away with it. Oh? They had money and were in America? You don’t say.

You said it 26 times!

D’oh!

One piece of deez…you know what? Nevermind.

I thought that was only in Europe? 80€ vs 90€

In the US (as the meme implies) and physical and digital copies of MKW are both $79.99, and DK Bananza is $69.99.

Of course that’s not gonna sick thanks to Orange moron

I was like “did they make dude pregnant?” But then I realized there’s like a trash can or something behind him 😅

He might not do that one, it’d make John Bolton too happy and they’re not friends anymore

I’ve had this beer before! It ain’t bad.

I also know this but I am powerless to do anything but talk shit on the internet.

They don’t need to measure. We’re all female at conception. We’re dunking but it’s ACTUALLY that stupid

Kamala wanted to be the 1st woman President so Trump had to make sure he was the first instead.

That depends HIGHLY on which app/client you are using and in what context you are viewing it.

Sometimes display name is all that shows.

They didn’t even find out if the users wanted the move? Power tripping idiots.

When are people going to realize that communities do not belong to them just because they’re at the controls?

Hey it’s Apollo the BORZOIIII 🎶

Mom: “No, we have John Snow at home”

John Snow at home:

The AOL amateur HyperCard game scene was like Newgrounds before flash. I wish the world was still that simple sometimes. Or, at least, that fun.

I started with System 7 on the Mac and because of that I had to quickly learn ResEdit and hex editing. Ironically this made me better later in life with windows and Linux, that shit is a breeze in comparison.

Also HyperCard fucking slapped
