I can't imagine being so broken that I enjoyed engaging with brands on Twitter. When steak-umms pretended to be a depressed millennial a lot of people were replying with poo poo like "thanks, I needed to hear this today". I have been homeless and desperate before but if I ever start looking to brands for hope I will absolutely blow my brains out.

Thinking of it as interacting "with the brand" is conceding more than we should. People on Twitter interact with social media personnel posting on the brand's account.

Over 70 years ago the Jews of Germany ended their persecution by making a deal. We vowed to to use our power to protect our Reich. Today, we are warriors on the front lines of the defense of the Fatherland.

lol, what an idiotic premise

clearly, the people who are killing you because they believe your power is inherently wrong and tolerating you will lead to eternal damnation are just itching to cut a deal with you

Regarding asexuality, there is the fact that it has, at times, been celebrated. This does not, of course, mean that oppression does not exist. But it does give us awesome things, such as:







Hanuman, devotee of Rama and Lord of Celibacy and Victory.

Of course, celibacy is considered and celebrated here a matter of self-control, not as a sexual orientation. On the other hand, being untouched by lust is, in his worship, seen as proof of Brahmachari, the highest level of human achievement. I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that at least at times, this virtue would have been a luxury of the Brahman class. We should all fight for a future in which everyone may choose whether and who they wish to gently caress. So I say, whether one wishes to gently caress or not, one may take refuge in Lord Hanuman.

do we have woke weed brands yet?

Weed stores don't have to try to put out that image.

In Canada, at least, the people who would do that anyways have proven bad at the actually growing weed thing and incapable of hiring anyone who can (despite the fact that at any given time I have 1-3 roommates with experience running grow ops).

Keep in mind as well, Legends was the third MtG expansion, back when it was still just Richard Garfield and Co., and they basically asked some friends to make an expansion for the game and then ran with what they gave them. This is why some of the design decisions (like treating having multicolor costs and being legendary as advantages instead of as making the card more difficult to play) in the set stand out as so odd, even for early WotC.

We read Catch-22 in high school and it drove the Glenn Beck-reading, Sean Hannity-loving republican in our class insane with rage. God I love that book.

Catch-22 is the true dystopian novel, because it doesn't make the dystopia into an other. It places it right in the heart of the Allied forces.

capital genuinely understanding teenagers better than bougie wokescolds is pretty funny

i mean, ffs, maybe if you want to make science appealing, put some effort into taking a good photo of your prospective stem girlboss and let her dress up a bit. i mean, if she wants to emphasize practicality in her appearance over overt gender performance that's fine, but do the work to make that look a little badass. or even just give her more warning than like her mom snapping a photo of her on her phone ffs.

It's just a random photo, lol.

yeah, its gotta be like what, from some stock image set you can pay for the rights to? lol if they grabbed some random kids picture from google images and never gave it further thought

but like, the choice of photo still matters because it rejects any attempt to appeal to its audience's literal developmental need to define an idealized version of themselves that represents their potential adult persona. its extremely puritanical in a very lib fashion.

and yeah more or less just like the games

Didn't they blame Russia of all country for the us army created Iraqi's "highway of death"?

it seems so inept as propaganda to me. like I guess chuds don't make a habit of maintaining internally consistent beliefs, but is there even a relevant audience for "this was bad and wrong and russia is scary"?

the people who are receptive to that sort of thinking don't think its bad or wrong. they want just enough hypocritical liberal handwringing to give them both cover and a chance to revel in the implicit celebration of americas ability to create suffering and death.
