why is a third of tumblr humor making random things horny, this is not clever at all

"concept: the Congress but everyone is young and hot and fuck each other before every vote"

concept: nudes that capture evidence of paranormal phenomenon in the background by accident

most would be mad ofc which isn't unreasonable but it doesn't really disprove my point.

some student might view his bully as the worst person on earth, while on the other hand a friend of said bully could see some his bullying as a little evil but they are happy he helps them with hw.

if I wanted a genuine image of someone's character would I really get it from their biggest victim? personally I think that's stupid (not that I would get something perfectly genuine from anyone else but you gotta use your brain to figure out how much each one gets to see).

now ofc I'll agree USA involvement in these countries was horrid and shouldn't have happened. you should just not use it to be reductive even if it seemed morally preferable, as you know you'd get different answers from South Koreans, Kuwaitis, Ukrainians, and so on.

when usamericans try to say they have it as bad as people in the global south it just reveals that they genuinely do not believe or do not comprehend the fact that real people are currently being killed with bombs

mostly agree.

I do think it's pointless to prioritise "your military is killing civilians" if you want to convince Americans to be more leftist

it's very easy to rationalise it. they don't see the military's actions nor have a say in it, American citizens in general don't have much choice when it comes to foreign policy. they can continue their life, pay taxes and the military won't cross their mind often.

it's easy to mock how they believe the military defend their country continents away, but for a superpower with many enemies, a citizen will only feel safer that the danger is extinguished early and far away.

a little controversial but I do think the usa military isn't completely a force of destruction. it serves America's interests first ofc but it happens to benefit other countries, an example is how trade routes are defended the most by the usa (other countries do it as well, but nobody else can afford to do it as well). another example (unfortunately kinda pro unipolarity) is that it often prevents or delays wars to expand influence by usa competitors, again self-interest driven but neighbours of China and Russia are probably still grateful (you can argue this is still bad I suppose)

the economical advantage as you described feels to me like it is a more important thing to make them consider and is less likely to push them away. I'd rather an american be sympathetic to their military but questioning of their economic position than the opposite.

I get what you're saying but most people in the global south are not starving, being bombed, or fearing being shot, at or anything like that.

for the most part they are like 10-20 times less wealthy and have worse working conditions in many metrics and that's unfair enough, we don't need to make it seem like we are living in deadly warzones because we aren't (ofc it's reality for some but it's not representive and imo misleading), I'd rather a more accurate image than a more sympathetic one.

I just dodged a major health scare, so now that it's not ongoing I'm comfortable posting.

I got my labs drawn and results came back wonky. I was told the most common, likely cause for my results is parathyroid disease and that that is usually caused by tumor(s) that have to be surgically removed (and can occasionally be cancerous). Which would suck because I'm already at high risk for complications from adrenal insufficiency.

It turns out it's not the big scary thing because I just need to chill and take less vitamin d. My dose was fine in the past, but I've been on it for a couple of years now so it's become more than I need. This is a rare issue and my vitamin d levels themselves aren't even high, but apparently that can still skew other things for some people and mimic fucking tumors.

nothing like seeing a 10k+ politics post to make you hopeless

omfg she lost, get over it it's been months

Probably one of the most disillusioning things about the Trump years isn't simply the amount of people who agree with his horrendous views, but the amount of people who feel very Moral and Justified for refusing to stop him from getting elected in the first place, no matter how bad things got.

If people have to beg on their hands and knees for you to do the bare minimum of the right thing, and you still refuse to do it, you're just an incredibly selfish asshole no matter how much bullshit rhetoric you dress it up in. The fact that I could've written this post verbatim 8 years ago only goes to show how little things have changed, despite everything, and how little the insufferably smug and Online are moved by real human suffering to be slightly inconvenienced on election day.

I guess that's what separates good and bad posters

the ones with miserable low esteem childhood have too much resentment in their belief systems and takes.

The ones that grow up to be proper haters have takes actually worth reading and tend to be something harder to interpolate from other posts.

growing up autistic with zero self esteem and thinking yourself unlovable for the longest time makes any sort of emotional closeness feel like you're engaging in dark forest doctrines

I asked you "why" before I asked you if you are stupid but that didn't work so maybe you just are

Like don't get me wrong I am 100% the "do what you want forever as long as everyone's an adult and consenting I truly could not give less of a fuck if I tried" guy but also.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to accept when people say "this happened to me and that's why I use this language" and... believe them?

[shoomt]

why did you say "but" and then just say something that follows said principle are you stupid?

people who are like johnny marr was such a good musician too bad morrissey was there DO NOT get it and never will. johnny marr is a great musician but morrissey brought the crazy ass vibe. johnny marr couldn’t have done that all by himself

how is being anti-capitalism this hard for you people, "shit man I miss 2014 products they really used to live" like what

Cause: Effect.

Wait until that's not effective either and the whole store shuts down.

idk why the entirety of tumblr seems to think Democrat voters are all about open borders

New official ad from the Kamala Harris campaign

Margaret Thatcher once said that her greatest success was pushing her opponents in the UK Labor party to the right. Trump has been similarly “successful” with the Democratic party on immigration and China.
