Look it rhymes ok

No, she doesn’t think fans will kill her, just make her poop funny. Don’t be ridiculous.

Have you tried just not having a headache?

This is my wife. She was raised to believe that all suffering is the body fixing itself and has, on more than one occasion, spent two days in bed with back spasms intead of taking the muscle relaxer the doctor gave her.

She also believes that fans make you sick. But like, not the fan in the basement which blows the AC through all the vents. That’s not a fan, it’s a magic wind box. I am assured that this is sound science, just not among western scientists who are in the pocket of big ceiling fan.

I fucking hate this meta but we literally are at the point where Joe Biden should seriously consider faking his own death.

Born to die

And you get

To sit and watch your TV set.

Just become a dentist, have a midlife crisis, and start riding a bike.

Technically, sure. You are free to go live in the woods, off grid, somewhere. Or you are free to violate this particular social contract and deal with the consequences.

Who cares, I’ll be dead.

This but unironically.

It’s a shame that Rowling picked up absolutely zero from Nabakov’s writing style.

That was pretty apparent to me from the first chapter of the first book. I never got the hype and thought her writing was pretty bad, even by the YA standards of the time. Like, Piers Anthony farts out better YA fantasy on the toilet every morning, but Rowling writes some toddler-speak and everyone loses their fucking mind?

It’s even more insidious than this. In many conservative value sets, children are viewed as property, and domestic issues are viewed as household business. Many many cases of obvious CSA (and physical abuse in general) over the decades have been dismissed as “I’m sure the parents know best,” or “it’s not our business,” or “I’m sure we don’t know the whole story.” It was only very recently that this veil was pierced even a little bit, but it was not without significant struggle. And even now there is a growing backlash to the idea that children are to be allowed any autonomy or agency beyond their parents. Many people still believe it is is ok to hit children, or that children should not be allowed to use a nickname in school. These are all vestiges or even new iterations of this exact same attitude which has enabled all manner of child abuse over the years.

Make no mistake, in the conservative worldview, child abuse is still, to this day, only bad if the parents say it is bad.

Get topped idiot

Do you believe that if the US didn’t make weapons, then everyone else would also just stop making weapons?

IDK, I’d rather the people making the weapons be on our side.

And 7 bears fucking

They got the joke wrong though

This explains a lot.

The hexbear admin is on the record saying they primarily care about information warfare in their interactions with the broader fediverse
