i personally did not go to mine as a protest because they wouldn't allow students to bring dates of the same gender (my prom was in 2013 and in florida so).

as a communist i think that that "conservatives can't make good art" is pure cope whether coming from liberals or other commies but "republicans aren't funny" is just kinda true

It's always so weird to come down from the biology heavens to see what the average person believes about animals, plants, ecosystems, just the world around them. I don't even mean things that one simply doesn't know because they've never been told or things that are confusing, I'm talking about people who genuinely do not see insects as animals. What are you saying. Every time I see a crawling or fluttering little guy I know that little guy has motivations and drive to fulfill those motivations. There are gears turning in their head! They are perceiving this world and they are drawing conclusions, they are conscious. And yet it's still a whole thing if various bugs of the world feel pain or if they are simply Instinct Machines that are Not Truly Aware of Anything At All????? Help!!!!!! How can you look at a little guy and think he is just the macroscopic animal version of a virus

remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots

studying ancient history will have you thinking stuff like The 18th century was basically yesterday

To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

log onto tumblr and you learn that cowboys are secretly leftist and pirates are secretly leftist and superhero comics are secretly leftist and vikings are secretly leftist and greco-roman antiquity is secretly leftist and knights are secretly leftist and the concept of the appalachian region is secretly leftist and all genre fiction is innately secretly leftist and every animated show you ever watched as a kid is secretly leftist and you never have to think about the political subtext of anything ever and you log off tumblr and for some reason people are talking about a descent toward fascism

I saw the sentence “Japan has been stuck in the year 2000 since 1980” and while I don’t have any opinion on the object level truth of the sentence, it is very pleasingly quippy to me

part of the reason no one on here knows what is catholicism vs protestantism vs specifically puritanism or evangelicalism etc etc is because they treat religious belief as static and unconditioned and are looking for some essential characteristic of [sect] that will hold in all times and places rather than familiarising themselves with local manifestations that have various particularities that develop in relation to the economic, legal, social, etc situation. the dog wags the tail basically. also in general they think of religious doctrine as, like, a belief system (true but only in a trivial sense) rather than an ideological scaffolding that is filled with the politics etc that any given commentator is trying to rhetorically justify

okay but the American education system literally didn't tell us how to defend against horse archers
