I really don’t get why there’s never any effort when doing l this kind of “stock art” math/science.

So many fake chemicals, so many equations that are completely meaningless… all of those t-shirts that say “what part of [UNINTELLIGIBLE SCRIBBLING] do you not understand?”

Is it really that much effort to crack open a linear algebra textbook or look at an actual equation sheet? I always feel sniped by that shit, I tried to read it and figure out what it is but it’s always just a mix of completely random stuff, with half of it truncated to the point of meaninglessness.

Which is why it’s funny that he’s accusing them of having a political agenda. They are all arch conservatives!

He forced a principal who did drag on the weekend to resign.

He harassed a teacher for years, revoked her license and chased her out of the state for having a link to the Brooklyn library in her classroom .

School districts across the state forced their teachers to remove their in classroom libraries, to avoid being accused of having porn.

Walters was really gunning for Department of Ed. Not as rich as McMahon though…

Liberterians[sic] with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick.

I do think there should be a conversation about how South Park did normalize a lot of fucked up shit. I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.

Sorta like how on /b/ - the racism and homophobia was mostly joking originally (I’m talking like pre-2010). Taking it seriously/too far would get mocked. But:

Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company. (No attribution)

I love South Park, but their episode on trans people was just shitty and dehumanizing, and it gave people permission to parrot that kind of rhetoric. There’s a difference between being edgy and offensive, and saying the kinds of things that end up actually getting people hurt. South Park has always been at its best when it punched up (as in this episode).

I’m so fucking terrified tbh… I went in voluntarily last year and it got upgraded to involuntary after they accused me of lying during my assessment. Was physically assaulted and verbally abused. I got out after a day, but fuck, the nurse was joking about how since a weekend was coming up, they could keep me for five.

Tbh it’s been terrible lately. Free services increasingly go behind a paywall, they’ve limited how many convos you can have (invisibly, they just fall off), they show you fewer and fewer people.

The fediverse could be really useful in the dating space - capitalism means they never really want you to find The One, because then you might delete the app.

How long until this is expanded to transgender people, I wonder?

Most people’s understanding of Satan and Hell is more from Milton and Dante than from the Bible. With the “Rapture”, it’s all Tim LaHeye, Hal Lindsey and basement church videos regurgitation of John Darby.

No idea. He gave 5k to one before he kicked me out. What was our house is for sale now though.

My husband kicked me out once he realized flashing his money at 19 year olds worked. The teenagers didn’t ask him to stop playing FIFA and walk his dogs.

Not sure we are cognitively at that level yet. We are now watching Bluey’s dad pretend to give birth, and periodically remembering that water is in the sippy cup instead of the desired juice. This is so unpleasant that it has merited physical assault and temporary loss of liberty.
