I've always just heard "cat tail."

They are edible though, but not the corndog looking part. But if you tear that part open they're full of what almost looks like cotton and it makes excellent tinder for starting fires while camping/surviving.

Yeah, cat tails is what we call them out by me too. I've seen a few people share that, and it's very clearly a joke share.

Always wondered how people with strong bigoted beliefs feel about being on the wrong side of history decades down the line.
Like right now they think they are right to stand up to those "filthy perverts" and such, but then I begin to wonder how people who thought that pesky Rosa Parks should have just shut her trap and moved to the back of the bus must feel now. In 10 or so years from now when no-one really gives a flying gently caress about transgender people peeing where they want to, will the people posting such stupid poo poo be self-aware enough to say to themselves "jeez, I really got that all wrong"?

They've found protestors from famous 60's photos and asked how they feel. Most, if not all seem to be genuinely sorry for how they acted. Granted these people have had to face their notoriety and couldn't just slink away.

Some will just rationalize their beliefs. Like, sure Blacks have equal rights and all, but have you seen the crime rates? Everyone was better during segregation. And the Gays, there were so many fewer back before we started encouraging deviant behavior.

Achilles is the proto-husband.

Achilles was invulnerable everywhere else on his body except for his heel. According to legend, his mother dipped him in the river Styx, and she held him by his heel so that part wasn't submerged. Keeping this vulnerability a secret was the key to his success in battle.

Why was he the proto-husband? Once a woman becomes aware of your vulnerability, she can take control over it. Women love horses because the act of riding one is a microcosm of their existence. Take control over something that is more powerful than you, and you can subvert the natural order. Power is power regardless of whether it is earned or stolen.

So what is the modern man's Achilles' heel? The blue pill. It is like a form of malware that is installed by the mother. It is where our mothers held us. We are programmed to believe that we need a woman's love, but it will never again be forthcoming (it's just a means of control).

Extrapolate this to combine the analogy of the horse and the malware. Imagine if your home computer was an AI that was actually more intelligent than you. How would this be useful to you? You too, would install the malware - we can call it the blue pill virus. Sure, it eventually destroys the computer, but you can just go out and get a new one.

Mind viruses are not optional in large societies. Without these viruses, societies fall apart at the seams into disparate warring units. The majority of the populace desires to be controlled.

The Western world has rejected its various Abrahamic denominations. In its place, the totalitarians have created the much more profitable blue pill. They have doubled the labor and consumption markets through feminism. They have created a new slave class on the backs of blue pill betas. On top of this, they have created welfare states that extract much more from one's labors than the Abrahamic 10%.

Oh oh you're depressed you cock carousel riding hag, with your a thousand cock stare?

Oh oh you're depressed you supplicating blue pill beta, with your need for approval?

Here, pop a zoloft. A prozac. Or a cymbalta. Take your pick, child. Stay within the warm embrace of the blue pill.
