We have literally zero accounts from murder victims.

I guess we�ll never know if murder is bad.

weirdly related to the argument in the incel thread that incels are just the most obvious and festering manifestation of brutal millennial alienation and social atomisation, because of the end of personal stability and erosion or replacement of communities and kinship structures that don't involve spending money, making money, or spreading hate.

No point getting to know your neighbours, because everyone's moving as soon as the landlord kicks them out or they change jobs. No point getting to know your co-workers, because you'll leave them all behind when you change jobs to get a raise. Leaving them with the internet providing a thousand communities willing to fill your brain with poison and set you against other people over dumb poo poo.

yeah unironically the internet is probably counter to class consciousness because it reinforces the belief that there are barriers between you and others in daily life

i design roads and love being able to influence the projects i work on into being more bicycle and pedestrian-friendly and let me tell you that bicycle advocates are The Worst

being able to design bicycle facilities is a big part of why i became an engineer and the opportunity to do so strongly motivated my decision to take a job at my current firm and honestly i could not be more sympathetic and they are still almost always just the craziest fuckin people

last year a buncha them came to a public meeting about one of our projects that included entirely closing off part of a street to turn it into a mixed ped/bike path, to link it up to this larger bike path network that has lotsa big overcrossing structures to get them over the highways

anyway a big part of the project was also widening an arterial road to allow us to squeeze bike lanes through it which was difficult since it�s also covered in bus stops, and they were super pissed that we weren�t just killing half the lanes of this roadway (and the bus stops) to make a segregated bike trail there

fuckin bike people i swear

when you relegate an entire mode of transportation to a subculture it naturally follows that they're all gonna turn into bike otaku

Kunster: Dec 24, 2006

Yesterday I was talking to a goon friend of mine over takes on Portuguese papers and he suggested that I translate one or two. This one particularly sticks to my mind despite the magazine where it was published disappearing in 2016 and the writer for it transforming overnight from Right Wing Feminist Hillary Clinton Stan to Wine Mom:

In April 2015, a Kenyan University was attacked by an Al-Qaeda backed Somali Jihadist group, resulting in the death of 200 students. The response was quick and understandable, many mourning their deceased loved ones and making allusions of the Charlie Hebdo attack a few months before. "Well that makes sense, you wonder", but Carla Hil�rio Quevedo, one of the most notorious right wing bloggers in Portugal, permanent position in several talk shows, writer of a book about Women of Rome that assumes that Nero successfully managed to obscure everything bad he ever did right into his Mom's laps on the general history of antiquity, has a slightly different position, which for some reason saved to her blog, and on which I'll provide a translation:

quote:

There is a new profession of the days of today: The Police of Outrage. Its measure and method was the terrorist attack to the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo, which resulted in the death of 12 people. Right after the attack, a new pro free speech slogan has shown up: "Je Suis Charlie", shared on social networks by many who had solidarity with the victims and with a lifestyle that condemns violence as a response to insult. From then on, any time there's a massacre, these policemen have shown up reclaim for their dose of outrage they think any terrible occurrence requires. I wonder what to these people pretend to want: Are they minimizing the Charlie Hebdo attack? And why is it that they reclaim for themselves a special right to demand whoever's nearby to get outraged in equal tone to the worst that happens in the world? Who gave them that right? And since when does outrage have a moral value? Some people just want to make their own lives impossible. And to others too.

That lovely piece of writing, if you saw her snap hard at people doing Je Suis Kenya things, meant that she spent a whole week steaming angrily at it, didn't reconsider and decided to submit that thing to the editor without anyone going "Why are you informing us you're mad at mourning kenyans of all things".

idk about "chores" per se for a 3-year old but smdh if you dont involve your kid in the housework from the earliest possible age so it becomes a natural part of their life that you do your dishes etc

Putting your toys back in the toybox when you're done playing and putting your dishes in the sink/dishwasher when you're done eating seem reasonable for a three year old, but I wouldn't really call them chores.

I mean for non-broke brains the �chores� are probably stuff like �put your toys back in their place�. but for that guy I�m sure he is making up the whole situation because his life as a click-bait writer is vacuous and full of regret.
