Anti-black racism is a fundamental building block of this man's worldview. And has always been.

This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

Exactly the social contract that should exist. If I have to wear business formal to fly, then I want to be treated like I'm in business class.

I struggle to see the point of getting all dressed up in order to pay exorbitant amounts and feel like I'm traveling in a over-populated school bus.

Well, the good news is that there are no historical records of disease negatively impacting a military force.

So that's all right then.

Oh. Good. Yet another overly rich dweeb who thinks he's more than an overly rich dweeb.

It's an infestation.

Life is just corner after corner after corner and then you die.

Vitric grapes, liquiform fabric in the most luscious green hue, and wonderfully iridescent mother of pearl:
this might be one of my favorite examples of my favorite genre of painting.

"Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" vibes, definitely.

This administration is barely pretending to hire for competence or expertise. I don't think there are *any* adults in that room.

Life is such tragedy.

"Lemon Water" - my oil painting

Even if I agreed with the assertion, I'd still feel that it failed to address the question posed. And I'd wonder if that response suggested that there wasn't really a good answer to the question.

I don't see how that non-answer satisfies anyone who thinks of convos as more than simply mouth-noises.

I recognize the rhetorical dodgeball she's playing, but I've never been able to see how it works.

"How can x be true since y exists?"

"X is absolutely true."

The question is asking *how* x is an accurate assertion! "X is accurate" IS NOT AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION!

Yes, well, the National Trust is obviously wrong because whom amongst us has ever had to host an emergency ball with naught but 55k square feet of building space to work with this is an clear outrage thank you for your attention to this matter

dark purple fish with big ol’ eyes and thicc lips and a tuft of…fish hair, head fins?? that look like a tuft of hair. he’s chillin on a reef. he has little toofs.

look at this fraggle-ass fish

This kind of PDA I never want to see.

On some basic, lizard-brain level, this guy knows that he's spent his entire life being pathetic and that no one whose perspective he values has ever respected him. Or ever could.

So many decades lived, so little benefit to the world. His entire life constitutes a net negative.

It's basically earwigging.

Anne Innis Dagg standing outdoors beside a giraffe, smiling while holding out a thin branch for the animal to eat. The giraffe bends its long neck down toward her hand. She wears a light blue jacket over a red top with a yellow scarf. The setting includes trees and greenery in the background, with a large log in the foreground.

Anne Innis Dagg is considered to be the World's First Giraffologist.
Along with giraffes, she studied the behaviour of camels, primates and Canadian wildlife.
She also fought against gender discrimination in science.
This is the story of the Girl Who Loved Giraffes.

So tired of this BS.

1) It's BS.

2) We all know it's BS.

3) The [insert number]-D chess cliché was diagnosed with chronic fatigue years ago: give it a rest.

4) A politician who deliberately refuses to ever communicate honestly with his constituents is not the flex you think it is.

And his argument was that Mississippi asserted that as a description of the lawful residence rights of the enslaved person and not the property rights of the enslaver?

I mean, be so fr.

How good, how moral are you, compared to other people? (You get to say what is "good" and "moral.") As I mentioned in chapter 1, if you're an average human being, you'll think you're a better than average human being. Almost everybody think's she's more moral than most. But high RWAs typically think they're way, way better. They are the Holy Ones. They are the Chosen. They are the Righteous. They somehow got a three-for-one special on self-righteousness. And self-righteousness appears to release authoritarian aggression more than anything else. Chronically frightened authoritarian followers, looking for someone to attack because fighting is one of the things people do when they are afraid, are particularly likely to do so when they can find a moral justification for their hostility.

Dr. Bob Altemeyer remains relevant.
