very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them

kind of crazy how much of a role the consumption of pork as an in-group signifier in need of defence plays in german discourses on immigration in order to conjur the frightful image of "orientalisation of the west", specifically targeting muslims. how is one to take seriously the anti-antisemitism arguments and resolutions of a society that so regularly and automatically forgets jews still exist when israel isn't the topic of debate. if one wanted to read more into it one could regard it as an indication that tolerance towards jews in germany is reliant on the existence of a country to go back to, to, if need be, deport to

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

If a city in North America has “good public transit” what that translates to is “it’s possible to live without a car here but you’ll still wish it was way better”

It's weird this isn't talked about more, but Elon basically kidnapped his son. He used his lawyers to near bankrupt Grimes in her custody battle and it's unclear if she has any access to her son at this point.

Grimes can be an unsympathetic figure at times, but this is just awful. Especially since it seems Elon is using this young boy as an anti-assassination tactic.

'phoenix and edgeworth are just friends and it's only shipper brain that makes people read their relationship as something gay' <- patently untrue 'phoenix and edgeworth are supposed to be in a romantic relationship but because of anti gay censorship they aren't allowed to make it canon' <- even less true 'people at capcom are aware that gay subtext is responsible for a huge amount of the series' longevity and will pander to that interpretation with enough plausible deniability to maximize profitability' <- probably true

this is a great example of cat communication! Belphie wants to play, but is being somewhat meek about it. Grim is happy to groom him, but is VERY STERN about not wanting to play. in the end, Belphie decides to bother someone else (me!)

I don’t believe those who went into this past election taking pride in the unemployment numbers understood that the near-record low unemployment figures — the figure was a mere 4.2 percent in November — counted homeless people doing occasional work as “employed.” But the implications are powerful. If you filter the statistic to include as unemployed people who can’t find anything but part-time work or who make a poverty wage (roughly $25,000), the percentage is actually 23.7 percent. In other words, nearly one of every four workers is functionally unemployed in America today — hardly something to celebrate.
