I hate the Bible Belt it’s so bad, I just lately fixed my baptist upbringing and recognized horny is fine actually, can we not say things like you should go to the homophobic as fuck baptist church full of conservative old people who say outrageously passive aggressive shit to you on a weekly basis???? Including at a fucking funeral????? Can we not make me guilty for my lack of enjoyment with organized religion that hates me and the things I do/the romance novels I read for fun????? I’d like that, actually, it’d be nice, but clearly I am in the actual hell I hate that church and every member of it! It should be dissolved! It won’t be though and that’s FINE!
This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?
At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.
I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.
semi-dark king merlin au, someone from ealdor tells king cenred about merlin and he is captured and held as a slave in essetir. since merlin despises captivity and servitude, he’d rather be dead and free than alive and in chains so he acts out and pisses people (especially the king) off so they’ll think him too much trouble and kill him. at first they stick to beatings until merlin manages to get his chains around a few necks and now has a body count so they kill him…..only he wakes back up a few hours later and king cenred is Intrigued and keeps him close. merlin keeps acting out but no matter how many times they kill him, he won’t stay dead. merlin has this moment after waking up perfectly fine after his twenty seventh death where he is hopeless and believes there to be no escape, not even thru death. a few other sorcerers in chains come and help him clean up and give him a lil peptalk, realizing him to be emrys, and then they revolt and take over the kingdom and crown merlin as king and now uther is like “wtf” bc his neighboring kingdom who was kinda sorta on his wavelength about sorcery, though uther did not approve of keeping them alive, is now a kingdom ruled by magic. he goes to war with them but with magic running free and fucking emrys on the throne, they don’t make a lot of headway. anyways merthur meet on the battlefield, enemies to lovers, you get it
Hmm, I'm not interested in that, I'm interested in how we're on a dying planet and capitalism is crushing us.
Huh, it's sad that you waste so much time on that TV show when we're on a dying planet and capitalism is ruining everything. Can't you focus on what really matters instead of distracting yourself?
Oh, I can't get into all of your squabbles over identity, I'm focused on how the planet is LITERALLY DYING and capitalism is KILLING all of us. Focus on what matters
What am I doing about it? Well I'm shaming people on social media for not moping about how the world's ending, and I'm moping about how the world's ending. Why can't they see the useful thing to do is to focus on nothing but how the world's ending and resign yourself to not being able to do anything about it? Not trying is the most radical thing you can do, actually,
It is not what you have been told it is. There are many bad things about the government of North Korea, there are many bad things about those running it, but it is not what you have been told it is.
yes my dream job is to be an archivist yes I am planning on getting work experience in journalism as soon as I can yes I am getting a degree in history. I still need to write articles though because I love the sound of my own voice
“I am unbought and unbossed,” he wrote. “Despite my deep political differences with brother Harlan Crow, who is an anti-Trump Republican, I’ve known him in a non-political setting for some years and I pray for his precious family.” —Cornel West
Mannn, look: First of all, get the fuck outta here. Secondly, seriously get the fuck outta here with using Shirley Chisholm’s 👑 line as a defense while taking money from the same dude who bought and purchased Clarence Thomas’ raggedy c👀n ass.
West is hanging out with a fucking Nazi, ffs. Where thee fuck is his judgment? Where are all those vaunted morals that he likes to proclaim he has so much??
do you ever think about how Avad’s last straw was witnessing his brother Kadaman’s execution in the sun ring? An execution ordered by their own father?
Literally cannot believe I came back to this wretched hive three weeks after Rory Stewart publicly described his relationship with Alastair Campbell as “a daddy thing” only to discover that it has gone uncommented on
If I'm real, the most astounding thing about the american political system is the way our politicians will often have no fucking clue what they're on about (especially about healthcare and whatnot), and experts will fucking beg them to reconsider their awful politics and yet those politicians will still have the power to go "anyway..." and ruin so many peoples' lives and livelihoods.
I haven't shared a lot of my politics on here because I have politics opinions far beyond my own country. And some of them make no sense and are liable to make me a pariah. It's just like with comics i haven't read or movies I haven't watched. I still have opinions on these things, even though I really shouldn't have these opinions probably.
I'd share these opinions, if I could get a guarantee nobody would hate me for them. Because nobody likes to get hate mail, and I have incredibly thin skin. But if I'm assured nobody (or almost nobody) would hate me even if I had a political opinion about a country I'm not from, I might try and share them.
Saying "one of the major parties in a country trying to genocide trans people is the "most pro trans" major party in the world" as a statement of fact should inspire fear and terror, not be a call the be thankful to that fucking party. Anyway Biden is partially responsible for the current T drug class
