Some of us are old and still think of him as stoner frog. I’m not in the spaces where he’s used as a fascist icon and forgot they hijacked him.
Man having to remember every permutation internet bullshit gets exhausting.

LOL I’m enjoying these tankie rants.
- Comment on Stay Mad 2 days ago:
I didn’t watch debate but have been enjoying tanking and hyperventilating that alot of us grassroots dem supporters don’t give a shit about the debate and realized Biden was old before it even happened.

Not about being “the king” just about simplicity and sufficiency.
I want ubiqituous immediate connection…we aren’t all maximizers, some of us just want the easiest serviceable & reliable option.
- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 1 week ago:
America is not the world my friend. I mean Irish people in Ireland have been historically repressed and reviled in and by UK and Europe. I dont know how prevelant it continues to be, but there is a deep history.
Humans beings the world over find ways to categorize and class each other on ethnicity in all sorts of ways that is fundamentally working with similar powe relations to racism without it being reducible to skin tone.

I presume you are being ironic but just in case the Irish have experienced alot of racism LOL.

The history of forcing slaves into limited food choices, and then caricaturing an entire race based on people adapting to those arbitrary forced limits…there are alot of layers of historical racism in play that could make doing this in a way that highlights those foods would probably play into that racism. Chicken and watermelon aren’t “black” foods, they were common staples of Southern slaves that had limited choices.
That said, those stereotypes are stupid, those foods are delicious to people of all races, so if those foods are served as a broader celebration or feast and its just part of the day without any emphasis or indicators of meeting (i.e., chicken and fruit are common foods for celebration so why not have them), I don’t think anyone would care.

I believe that’s the joke my friend.

He’s doesn’t unilaterally have the power to stop it. I agree we should stop military support under current conditions, but Biden isn’t Israel…this isn’t a US War. Its amazingly short-sided to blame Biden for this to the point of helping Trumps reelection chances.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yeah, because its unfortunately a choice between those two at this point. Until Biden is re-elected, it will be a constant reminder that its him or a fascist criminal that led an insurrection, even if a particular criticism is valid. This criticism is shit btw, antisemitism is happening and should be called out.

I’m against what Israel is doing in Gaza but some small % of protestors are getting legitimately anti-Semetic, but starting to be very aggressive about it in an uncomfortable way, especially with larger authoritarianism at play in the culture.
I appreciate the president calling that type of shit out personally.

I’m so old that Mike Tyson was too busy eating my balls to prepare to fight that youtube scammer guy.
- Comment on How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. 2 months ago:
Makes more sense when you look back at how Wikileaks actually functioned. They literally coordinated with Trump campaign to generate anti-Clinton disinformation, for instance. Why would they do that? Because the wanted Putins guy to win.
- Comment on How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. 2 months ago:
He ain’t there by coincidence, and isn’t the good guy in this story. Might have exposed bad shit US had surveillance wise, but Snowden didn’t do it for ethical reasons, he did it to undermine the country, and ran to an authoritarian state that violates privacy even worse.

The extrapolated head math people like to do based on their narrow interactions to determine how large companies should run is rarely right or useful.

Fuck Lyft and Uber. Mass transit FTW.

I’m not offended, and don’t care if he makes lowest common denominator trans jokes. I just don’t find the reactionary shtick to be funny.

Crypto is like cash for gold scams. If my scummy dirty inferior fiat dollar is so bad, why are all the ‘future of money!’ holders trying to give me their amazing future dollars for my dogshit fiat dollar? Oh wait, thats right, itsa scame!
