The default length of pasta is designed to fit on a supermarket shelf, not to be the best length for cooking/eating.

Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)

Every time I hear people talk about satanic imagery or satanic propaganda I think about that tweet that was like, some people view Satan as a video game villain where he gets stronger the more people worship him

Good think you won’t see this so I can speak my mind

You are

* queerphobic

* racist

* antisemitic

* islamophobic

Hope you find it in yourself to improve as a person

I don’t know why you’d think I wouldn’t see this, but alright.

I kinda find the accusation of being “queerphobic” kinda funny because it’s the one thing you could quite literally never accuse me of. Unless of course you mean it SUPER literally, as in I hate the term “queer”, which is true. It’s an insult to many LGBT people, you can’t just erroneously label people it if they don’t want to be labeled with it. But otherwise, I’ve never actually posted, or even implied anything negative about LGBT people. Nothing even some brain dead loser could misinterpret as “queerphobic”. So this alone tells me that you’re probably just throwing labels around willy-nilly and hoping something sticks.

Which, to your credit, one of these is actually true. I am “Islamophobic”. There isn’t a religion I despise more than Islam. However I don’t hate Muslims, you can’t accuse me of that. I know some people like to go around and pretend that to be “Islamophobic” means that you’re also racist, but that just isn’t true. Islam is a religion, not a people. The same way Judaism is a religion, not a people. Jews and Muslims are the people, not the religion. I’ve never been a fan of pretty much all organized religion, but Islam is by far the worst of them as far as I’m concerned, and I say that as someone who grew up Jehovah’s Witness, a literal cult.

Anyways, anon. 3/4 of your labels didn’t stick, and the fourth one I don’t even consider to be a bad thing so as far as this ask is concerned, there’s nothing I need to do to “improve as a person”. Thanks for playing, though.

If you were honestly more concerned with advocating for Palestinians than you are hating a specific group of people, you would be disavowing these actions the loudest. But instead all we hear is a deafening silence, and worse… When a minority group tells you there’s a problem with your movement, listen to us, don’t “but” and “if” our concerns. Don’t bring up one Jewish person or 12 who agree with you or are too afraid to tell you what they really feel. Because tokenism is racism.

Really good Twitter thread originally about Elon Musk and Twitter, but also applies to Netflix and a lot of other corporations.

Just one more election everyone I know we've been saying that for the last 50+ years but this time we really mean it, we just need you to set aside your integrity just one more time and then we won't try and guilt you into violating your conscience.

This is just the most important election ever so you gotta trust me on this, we can start making it better after this.

Almost exactly how I'd have put it, I'd have dialed up the sarcasm more I think.

Threat to democracy is people using scare tactics to get you to vote for their guy instead of letting you be free to make your own choices and believing in the system of checks and balances that is in place.

Also if 85% or your reasons for voting for one person is that they're not the other person I'm not going to vote for you because I don't know what your position is and I'm not going to be bothered to find out.

It's wild to me how low people will stoop sometimes as to try and prevent some completely innocent party, who're only tangentially-related to possible drama, from participating in an event that is likely very big and meaningful to them, all because of completely unrelated petty drama.

Like even if we pretend that Israel is actually committing a genocide (they aren't, but we're pretending here), it's insane to prevent random Israeli civilians from participating when they have nothing to do with the war at all. Dare I say it, but it reeks of blatant antisemitism since there's quite literally no other explanation for why you'd ban civilians from participating with as flimsy of an excuse as "their country is doing bad things". The fact that you'd lump them all together like that is quite frankly gross.

And yes, I am well aware that Eurovision banned Russia from participating for similar reasons, and I find that to be equally as stupid and pedantic. Unless Putin himself was planning on performing, I see absolutely no reason why you should punish completely unrelated civilians for the crimes of their governments, real or fictionalized.

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.

do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.

write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.

do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.

boycott ALL of eurovision.

I don’t care what anyone else says, the whole human blockade tactic like this will always be considered “violence” to me because we all know what’ll happen the moment someone tries to force their way through these clowns. They’ll consider it assault even though it’s clearly not, and they’ll start swinging. If the only response to your actions is violence, then evidently you’re being violent as well.

looks familiar huh?

Liberalsarecool posts something dumb, take a shot.

Netanyahu preaching cancel culture.

Right wing loves it. The fealty to crooked Netanyahu mimics the fealty to crooked Trump.

I almost started beef w/ someone immediately after posting this, ffs I'm closing this tab.

I write the most unhinged drafts while drunk, but thank god I still maintain the rationalization to keep them in the drafts 😭
