It's a little-known fact that trans people don't like looking at themselves in the mirror not because of gender dysphoria but because they have no reflection.

Also it's a pain in the rear end whenever my wife comes home from work because she can't cross the threshold without me inviting her in.

I never watched the Dinosaurs show when it first came out, but my dino-obsessed kid wanted to watch it so we watched the whole thing during quarantine and I was amazed at how well it held up. Honestly, the episode about the gulf-war was so spot on, I'm amazed it ever got made.

I distinctly remember during progressive taxation in my secondary school civics class I asked the teacher "Why should people be punished for being successful?"

Back when Hitchens was still alive I watched a Sam Harris video which was, if I remember it right, actually quite good and progressive about using prisons for rehabilitation rather than punishment. Unfortunately it led me down a dark path of first general atheistic and then Islamophobic Dawkins, Hitchens and Sam Harris videos on Youtube and I held some pretty horrible views for a while. Luckily I grew out of it pretty fast as I read more things and spoke to more people and I never expressed any of these views to anyone but those I was close with and who helped me understand why I was wrong.

I think if I was born a few years later when the reactionaries on YT learned to be more effective with their propaganda and the YT algorithms got more sophisticated, I probably would've been duped for much longer.

I was an atheist libertarian when I was younger. eventually I noticed the “new atheists” mostly lacked Carl Sagan’s empathy and the libertarians valued freedom of capital holders over human freedom from oppression (such as by capitalists) so I went in a different direction.

I got real lucky in my 20s meeting my now wife who put up with my poo poo long enough to call me out on my poo poo. If I'd spent that time being catered to by The Algorythm instead I'd be, hoo boy, let's not go there.

My mom's an old socialist and made sure to raise me as such so I did in fact come out of the womb quoting Marx :c00lbert:

I did have a similar edgy insufferable atheist-libertarian phase at the end of highschool / beginning of college though. However the thing that ultimately fixed me was SA, so thanks

I was born in the early 80s, so growing up calling someone a filthy commie was a schoolyard insult. I considered myself "liberal" but in actuality every position I held as a teen were full-on socialist in nature. I attribute that to my mother getting sued by a multinational for millions of dollars because she wrote an unflattering op-ed.

Incidentally, she is also the only actual spermjacker I know, I was conceived without my "father's" consent or knowledge.

i went to school to become a cop lol

i spent 4 years learning in intimate detail all the ways law enforcement lays siege to and annihilates poor and minority communities. they taught us about the racist discrepancies in criminal legislation and enforcement (and how police implicit biases factor into this relationship), how corrupt and backwards our corrections system is, how police have been overextended to cover for declining public services, and how class reinforces racist divisions and accelerates community decay - through a fairly materialist lens i might add.

finished up my curriculum just in time to watch the ferguson protests kick off. i then observed nearly every one of my 'progressive' classmates transform into bloodthirsty tyrants during our daily topical discussions.

i'm sitting in the back of the class like :stare: have you guys been paying attention?

I dodged the libertarian trap if only for having stronger succlib tendencies. I read some contemporary liberal economics stuff in 2014 and went, "Wait a minute, this is all wrong. How can machines be the valuable thing without labor to operate them? And you need labor to build the machines in the first place!"

Thus I discovered the labor theory of value completely independent of Marx ~200 years later, and have been a filthy commie ever since.

I definitely had a libertarian phase in high school followed by a lengthy succlib phase through about six or seven years ago.

A lot of it. My friend lost his balance and his hand smashed into a nice used condom covered in poo poo.

I am just the on-set dresser, so I get to watch the monitors and make sure the sets look good for camera. I don’t have a lot of exposure to the cast because they separate us after the Paradise season in Tulum five years ago when a boom operator was sleeping with a contestant, then panicked when he heard the producers coming, and jumped out of her balcony and smashed both his ankles on concrete from a two story fall.

Cute story though is one chick who got fisted wound up marrying the dude and they’re still together like three years later. I guess the fastest way to somebody’s heart is through the back wall.

it’s the same amount of come. I worked on that show too but it’s even worse from the standpoint of me constantly asking “is this a Union job?”
