it's honestly the nadir of american culture, like every single thing that makes people from abroad go "hey what the gently caress is going on with america" is at or near its peak in oklahoma. culturally it's a mix of the midwest, the southwest, and the south, but primarily just the worst bits of each.

i mean just look at what it leads the country in

my friend from oklahoma likes to remind us of the burning of black wallstreet whenever we say the places we're from are really racist

here are some words that are as old as me


i have to question their sources on this one because cisgender is literally just the actual prefix cis (meaning "straight" or "aligned with") with the word gender and there's no way 1992 is the first time any person put those together.

fun fact, all fats that aren't trans fats are cis fats. in humans and foods! (fake edit: always for getting about intersex people in ur cutting edge humor, shaaaame)

i'm fairy sure that this is the first year they added the word to the dictionary, and not the first time A Person Somewhere ever said the word or wrote it down or published it.

it upsets me that the media has apparently forgotten Wounded Knee when they tally up the list of deadliest mass shootings in american history

rolling up military actions into the "mass shootings" category somewhat downplays the seriousness of what actually occurred

downplaying the mass murder of 300 unarmed civilians as a "military action" is a really bad look, even for you, stymie

the fact that they were murdered with the full sanction of the government makes the situation a whole lot more serious, especially since the government didn't apologize until a full century after the fact

oh, well, i agree with that, but regardless, it's still the largest-civilian-loss-of-life-by-guns-in-a-single-incident in american history and it's good to make sure people remember what happened.

it also cheapens modern mass shootings to compare them to military massacres because it distracts from the fact that so many deaths were caused by just one heavily armed person

for once im agreeing with stymie. maybe it's better to call them "rogue mass murderers" to distinguish from wounded knee etc, but there's no way in hell it's the same category of events other than meaninglessly broad "death by gun"

my mom always says "oklahoma is a great place to be FROM" which i think is true

it sets the bar so low that everywhere else is amazing

im from california and my grandparents are "grapes of wrath" okies. that term was a serious slander to anyone who was from there, but gently caress oklahoma. nothing good has ever come from that shithole and nothing good will

including my family

if moving to the usa didn't pan out my backup plan was to go to germany

probably should have done that anyway tbh, at least that way years 25-32 of my life wouldn't have been basically a complete waste :smith: (it worked out in the end but i question whether the drudgery was worth it)
