  Unfortunately taxes is how gentrification of neighborhoods removes the poors. If property taxes remember relatively flat for low income property owners they could actually benefit from the equity they put into their homes. Instead of rising with the waters of gentrification they are squeezed out of their home and future benefits of living in an improving neighborhood.

  Leaving aside how gross it is, and separate from whether corporations should be the arbiters of morality:

  Incest between parent and child, even if the offspring is of legal age of consent, would imply an insurmountable power differential as well as likely grooming. Incest between siblings would depend on the age differential and authority structure of the family. It’s not a case of incest=abuse, but of how likely it could imply abuse. The challenge is nuance. The goal is harm reduction

  I understand that for some incest porn is enjoyable, not because they would commit incest themselves, but because incest=forbidden=naughty=sexy. Maybe that’s you? In any case, you asked how violence is implied, and that’s my take

  Oh man yeah, I remember seeing this on thinkgeek a while back. I wish I had gotten that shirt before they went under

  The rhythm was a little different tho:

  Johnny was a chemist’s son
  But Johnny is no more
  What Johnny thought was H2O
  Was H2SO4

  Pretty great, thanks for the reminder 😁

  …and this is the puffy-faced fizzblood. We have learned many interesting things about Terra from these creatures. For instance, while they often cry blood, occasionally their eyes will just, you know, burst. Seems to be pretty random, we think they evolved to burst their eyes to confuse predators

  More like the Vimes Unified Theory of Adulthood

  Another gem from that theory:

  “That was always the dream, wasn’t it? ‘I wish I’d known then what I know now’? But when you got older you found out that you NOW wasn’t YOU then. You then was a twerp. You then was what you had to be to start out on the rocky road of becoming you now, and one of the rocky patches on that road was being a twerp”

  I mean, I’m familiar with bitch lasagna, but i imagine it’s worse than that, considering another commenter called him a Nazi

  This is a genuine question, btw. I used to be with it, but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” anymore, and what is “it” is weird and scary to me

  Halo was best when it was Halo:CE played 4v4 on two linked systems, with the teams on two screens in an undersized dorm room in 2002. Alternatively, two people playing through the entire game in co-op mode and finishing at 3 in the morning.

  Everything since then has been mid at best

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So judge all you like, and you do seem to like it

  Oh, sorry, my tone is difficult to read over text. I forget that sometimes. I was, in fact, speaking against condemning people for their dietary decisions. Processed food is engineered to be addictive and not provide long term benefit, and obesity is like the one sin people can still condemn others for indiscriminately. But yeah, easy to read my post as the opposite of that, my bad

  And man, yeah, weight fluctuating despite consistent caloric intake because of stress? Oh yes! Add to that the fact that a person has less mental bandwidth to give to dietary needs and it can become a negative feedback loop. I’m living that reality right now. Plus changes in metabolism from middle age. It sucks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  tl;dr: I 100% agree with you

  As quality of life declines, addictions will rise. Anything to stave off the cortisol and get a little more dopamine. Anything to make life a little less miserable. And the most socially acceptable addiction, the one they engineer daily to be more effective?

  Food

  And it’s totally fine to eat what you like, to have a big dinner with friends, to treat yourself. Until it isn’t. Until you cross an abstract threshold from socially acceptable to being a glutton. You wake up one morning and you’re a fat piece of shit draining resources and injuring nurses with your giant obese ass. Why didn’t you exercise a little self control? Why didn’t you go for a jog? Just exert a little willpower you lazy bastard. You deserve this. Actions have consequences.

  You deserve to die on the factory floor before you can collect a pension, you selfish asshole

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are two stories here. One is that a middle aged man in poor health unexpectedly died right after finishing his shift. That’s the story you read. The other is that there is a systemic abuse of power by management to overwork higher seniority workers until they quit or are in too poor health to work. That’s the story I read.

  Well, it’s your own damn fault you’re so damn fat
  Shame, shame, shame
  All the food on the shelf
  Was engineered for your health
  So, you’re gonna have to take the blame

  Not exactly plot armor. Well kinda. Definitely loss of suspension of belief.

  Obi-Wan escorting Leia under his trenchcoat through a giant active hangar. The chase through the trees earlier in the series was obviously a cost cutting sound stage scene that I could cross my eyes and say “this is like a stage play, sure”, but that hangar scene? Cmon guys, you can do better than that. Put her in a box and push the box with a cart. Like, it could have wheels for crying out loud. You could’ve spent less on a box and a cart then you did on that ridiculous rain coat
