Not sure what the link is for, I’m fine with people using it in their own life and media. But using it referring to me or in reference to lesbians makes my skin crawl as someone who used to be called that by homophobic teenagers

I’m personally kind of reminded of how “faggot” and “dyke” are being “taken back” and used jokingly/sarcastically, but I still get really uncomfortable if someone uses them with me. They’ll say “oh I don’t mean it offensively!” But it’s not really up to you to decide what’s offending another person or not.

It was used heavily as a slur/insult for a very long time

And if they’re into politics, it will be a bubble as well. Not even left/right. It’s a bubble of your specific flavor of politics/humor. Because also political discussion and humor go hand in hand now at all times, apparently.

The plastic and other bullshit the FDA allows in our food is definitely why colon cancer rates are skyrocketing in the US as well. Ask anyone who has spent extended time in Europe how their digestion differed when there versus the US. Almost everyone has a hard time adjusting to our diet because it’s so shitty and toxic. I wish I could eat food without doing a million hours of research into what’s in it because the FDA doesn’t do it.

We were mediocre before but now it feels like a slap-stick comedy

The idea that most other countries are either extremely strange or extremely poverty-stricken is definitely a very intentional form of propaganda we get fed in the US. People are shocked when I tell them they can get cheaper, safer, better medical care in Mexico pretty often. Mostly for cosmetic surgeries, but they act like all hospitals in Mexico are run down death factories.

Cops often treat their own dog’s like shit. Not shocking giving their proclivity for murdering citizen’s dog’s

I hope Russians who want to flee the draft are able to do so, somehow. I feel for any citizen in an “evil” country that wants nothing to do with their own government, especially as an American.

And Ilhan Omar? Even the “radical” ones fall in line, huh

Every day you hear someone say the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard in your life. And then the next day someone says something even dumber. It’s absolute hell on earth but the plus side is my mortgage is cheap as dirt I guess.

The bots would pretend to be black in order to say “as a black man, I don’t like BLM” or pretend to be a male rape victim so they could say “the experience wasn’t as traumatic as some would say”. How the fuck do they reconcile this as ethical? They’re actively arguing with real people and acting like it’s all just random data. Social scientists once again de-humanizing their subjects, I guess
