It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.
I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.
That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”

“Dr Laura” (receiver of that original letter) is a fucking shit stain of a human being. One of those right wing women that absolutely hates other women.
She’d tell women and girls calling in that they needed to quit their jobs and dedicate themselves full time to their children, when she herself was happy to ignore raising her children to play pundit. A Phyllis Schafly style gender traitor, someone happy to have a full time job and make lots of money telling women that they weren’t capable or deserving of full human dignity.

Don’t forget when he retweeted BDSM fetish porn, thinking that Chinese men are being bound and “milked” for their semen.

There’s variation between people on how much they menstruate. Some people have very light flows, some people have very heavy flows. It also changes a bit over the course of the period - you might start out with a lighter flow, have a heavier flow in the middle, and then end with a lighter flow. You generally want to go with the lightest one you can for comfort reasons.

Yeah, I can’t be friends with people who vote for people who don’t want me to exist.
- Comment on Bethesda's re-releases and remasters are getting outta control. 4 weeks ago:
I have zero interest in them remastering the older games. I 100% do not want an unreal engine Morrowind remaster. I want Morrowind to be a buggy exploitable mess where I can buff my intelligence and speed into 5 digit numbers.

The Onion started publishing in 1988, and was online by 1996.
Landover Baptist has been on the net since 1998. I stumbled on it as kid, back when the family computer was for playing Neopets.
There’s been an increase in satire websites for sure, largely driven by the popularity of the Onion, and it does cause problems. There are conservative outlets which 100% put out complete and utter bullshit under the guise of “satire,” knowing that their audience has the gullibility of a five year old, and that’ll end up on garbage Facebook pages as unironic.
It’s not “conspiracy” but more - the Onion is very popular, popular things get knock offs, and opportunists saw a way to inject lies into the public discourse, while claiming they’re “satire.” (Similar to how CinemaSins on YouTube uses the term, “we were wrong about a basic thing in the movie? psych! the jokes on you for taking it seriously!)
I really miss that brief time that the Babylon Bee was good.

Warmlines are usually a better alternative.
They’re not as well funded as 988, sometimes it’s hard to get someone on the other line. Which sucks. But when it comes to suicidality, the system is very deeply fucked. If you say the wrong thing, you can end up in a mandatory hold and sent out in much worse shape than you were.
This is a problem that needs to be recognized by mental health care professionals and policy makers, but is not, because it’s assumed that if you experience a mental health crisis you can not be trusted to understand what is happening. There’s an assumption that being suicidal = being insane, thus meaning that you are a voice that does not need to be listened to.

Depending on where you live, all 988 does is forward your information to the police. When I’ve called it, basically a bunch of questions to try to get you to trip that line, then nothing but “I’m sorry to hear that :(“
There’s no requirement that the volunteer have clinical experience. I’ve heard horror stories of people being hung up or mocked. The company that runs it (and subcontracts it to several companies that they hide, it can be very difficult to figure out who is actually taking your call) is opaque and does not listen to complaints.
988 is mostly a fancy ad campaign.

They want to arrest Obama and try him for treason. There’d be some bullshit reason he wouldn’t be allowed, probably wouldn’t be on the ballot at all in red states.

I checked out Naked Lunch from my high schools library when I was a junior. Read the entire thing. Not big on controlling what kids read, but someone probably should have said something…

My favorite version is from a book with a talking gorilla. Although if you prefer talking asses, you can find it in another book too.

Even God didn’t want people to cancel him, anyone who sent him to the Afterlife would get avenged sevenfold. Weird that he was concerned when he had just killed the only other living person on earth other than his parents. It must have been a Nightmare knowing that he wouldn’t get A Little Piece of Heaven. Perhaps if he hadn’t made that Unholy Confession, God wouldn’t have noticed and he wouldn’t have ended up in Bat Country.

It’s “do not interact.” It’s really common on tumblr. Sometimes it’s reasonable “this is a porn blog, DNI if you are a minor” but sometimes it’s a comedically long list of political positions that they want you to agree with.

It’s uhhh, rather graphic and gruesome. Don’t listen in a place where someone will mind necrophilic beastiality.

I’d love a return to pre-Digg exodus Reddit, or slashdot in its heyday. Hacker news scratched that itch for a while, some instances here seem close if not quite the same.

Yeah, I “put myself there” because I got fired from gig work for being a tranny and needed to eat. The dudes who pressured me not to use condoms or fucking stealthed me were just normal guys.
Eat a bag of dicks.

See my mom just forced me to graduate early, stole all of my scholarship money, and no one told me that taking Calc 3 as a 17 year old was a bad idea! I lost my national merit scholarship and had to sell my body to creepy old dudes to get a college degree in a field that said “no more trannies allowed” 3 years after I graduated!

Man, I miss the old Kanye, straight from the go Kanye chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye, I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye, the always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye, I miss the sweet Kanye, chop up the beats Kanye.
But the man’s gone full Yazi. It’s time to let go. We’re never getting another Graduation or Yeezus or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Most states do require some comparative religion in high school history. I’ve taught it.
Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the Abrahamic faiths were in the curriculum. What was really fascinating was having a high schooler that had no idea what Christianity was. I live in the Bible Belt!
But yeah, understanding things like the Five Pillars of Islam humanizes Muslims. Understanding why a classmate isn’t eating all day, knowing that Muslims are required to donate some to charity if they can…
I think even some of the quasi Christian groups should be covered, but that’s a lot dicier. I don’t know if JW kids’ parents would want them to learn about the Great Disappointment, or Mormon families would approve of discussing Jo Smith’s child brides… (much less that official Mormon theology was that Native Americans would turn white if converted, or the best outcome for black folks was being a servant in the afterlife)
