The original art they're using there is fanart of Violet Evergarden, a series about a soldier who lost her arms and was horrifically traumatized by war trying to reintegrate into society and learn how to make emotional connections with people.

She was also a child solider lmao

reading isn’t any better than watching or listening, you were just trained in school to think that reading = smart and want to feel smart

Counterpoint: When my brain decides it will zone out and skip a whole section of what just happened it is much easier to go back to the bit I last recall what was going on. Doing that with audio / video is a lot harder.

Look, so few people read books any more that I don't care if grown adults are reading Lord Dragonicus and the Sword of Fancy, I'm just glad they're reading a goddamn book. I had a conversation with a coworker in his 50s a few months ago where I asked what was the last book he read, and he said he wasn't sure because it was something in high school. :smith:

that's what everyone said about adults reading harry potter and now we have grown adults with blue checkmarks sorting world leaders into hogwarts houses

Pubes dreaded out so hoes call me Chris Barnes. I don't wear a condom at the pig farm.

What the gently caress is it with bikers and sitting on people's faces? I've seen a few helmet stickers with some variation on that joke. When my dad bought a motorcycle when I was 12 the guy at the shop told me he got his tongue pierced for when women sit on his face. Just unprompted.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

because the only thing better than riding a bike is your partner riding your face duh

There's a lot of weird & reactionary transgressive sexual politics involved. Early biker gangs were formed by war veterans who resented domesticity, but weren't interested in any real change in gender politics. So they loved engaging in what we'd now consider "queer" sexual activity just to freak the squares, while still treating women like property they could pass around. Bikers today are a far cry from the old criminal gangs since it's been mostly reduced to a hobbyist identity, but the juvenile impulse to be gross about sex is still there.

I heard that they give different patches for different kinds of "giving face" as they call it; red wings if they're on their period, green wings if she's got the clap, purple wings if you go down on a dead chick which doesn't actually exist I hope

Supposedly, this same shock impulse is where a lot of the Nazi iconography they wear comes from as well, which makes sense when you consider that a lot of the folks they were trying to freak out in the 40s and 50s were also WWII veterans.

But, just as happened with the "ironic" Nazis on 4chan...

There's a poster in the "Vantasm" thread in GBS posting scans of old issues of Easy Riders, really interesting to see the intersections of reactionary bullshit, "rebellion" slash freaking the squares, and pure beautiful exploitative capitalism making a quick buck
