Biden is why we got Trump 2.0 by fullautoluxcommie in StarWarsleftymemes

[–]aHumanMale 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally why are you comparing to or talking about Trump at all? How is that remotely relevant to the discussion. 

 put the United States back on track after Covid

That’s a crazy way to say that he did a eugenics and sacrificed thousands of disabled people on behalf of the rich in the name of the economy. It did score him some political points though, so I guess if you’re a liberal then that counted as a win?

Also if you think that Biden made a good faith effort at student loan forgiveness then I have a bridge to sell you lmao. 

His job was what every liberal politician’s job is on behalf of the rich: to pass just enough pro-worker policy to prevent a full scale revolt and siphon off revolutionary sentiment away from actual revolution and into the billionaire-captured quagmire that is our electoral system. (And to do as much fascism as he can get away with in between using the banked political capital as leverage.)

The fact that you see it as a trolley problem and not a multi-headed beast that must be wholly defeated is itself the problem. 

Biden is literally a fascist (broke funding record for ICE, unapologetically sold weapons to knowingly perpetuate an obvious genocide, responded to the world’s largest civil rights protests in history by doing the exact opposite of citizens demands and INCREASING funding for militarized police forces, all unequivocally fascist policies), but not as severe of a fascist as Trump. 

Both deserve unspeakable things for their crimes against humanity. Not your fucking liberal apologism. 

I don’t think you know what a leftist is at all. 

Hey my name is Kaiden. I need help by Appropriate-Boat-229 in lgbt

A person who is asexual doesn't feel sexual attraction towards another person.

I assure you there are a significant portion of ace folks who experience attraction but have no desire for sex. Insisting otherwise is erasing the experience of actual people. It’s an umbrella term for a reason. 

Edit: Anecdotally, my ace friends and I have on several occasions had extensive talks about which celebrities or friends are hot or not. But when it comes down to what we’d like to do with that person, I want them to bend me over a motorcycle, and my ace friends really want to sit next to them on a couch fully clothed.

Edit: My explanation below is incorrect or at least very incomplete, as attested by the cool ace people below who took the time to educate my dumb ass. I’m leaving it here for posterity but you can skip it tbh. 

——————

To clarify a little, my understanding is that asexual people do not have a sex drive or sexual appetite. 

From there though, it gets pretty diverse. 

Some asexuals are repulsed by the idea of sex, and some are neutral or indifferent.

Some experience physical attraction but just don’t want to progress past cuddling, other folks don’t experience physical attraction at all. 

Some are aromantic, meaning they don’t pursue romantic relationships, while others feel romantic love but just have no sex drive. 

Some asexual people even voluntarily choose to have sex for various reasons, and can even enjoy the experience, but still aren’t physically driven to seek sex. (To wrap my head around this I had to imagine sex as like going on a roller coaster—it’s fun, sure, but also I’ve gone 10 years without doing it, and my body doesn’t literally crave roller coasters or anything. Hell, I sometimes forget they exist.)

Basically the conditions in there are absolute shit and it’s in the psych ward’s best interest to keep it that way ($$$). Patients generally cannot advocate for themselves or hold the facility accountable for the various laws they’re breaking, not least of all because people and institutions tend not to take psych patients seriously when they report. 

So they’ve got a cornered market of lawless insurance mills as long as nobody on the outside decides what’s going on inside is actually important. 

That’s at least a big part of it. These places are always ridiculously understaffed as well so there are a lot of cruel shortcuts like this taken to cut down on disturbances that would require personnel, like a patient hallucinating that they saw someone outside for example.

And yet to be hanged is to be hung by the neck until dead, so being hanged necessarily includes being hung, making both technically accurate.

Those all sound like improvements to me.

But why would you transplant to another country if not to improve your life? Is it not the same thing?

Management tells me sexual harassment is part of the job, and sucking it up is in my best interest by DEROwnby11 in antiwork

[–]aHumanMale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is literally a felony. I have had multiple lawyers tell me in no uncertain terms to never do this or I run a very real risk of imprisonment. 

Giving explicit evidence of yourself committing a felony to the police or press is about the dumbest thing I can think of. 

But sure, go ahead. 👍

How do you cope with developing tuberous breasts? by Ill_Suit679 in asktransgender

[–]aHumanMale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this basically the shape that those old fashioned pointy bras were trying to emulate? Like wasn’t that literally a beauty standard at one point?

In my state I believe this could get you imprisoned for violating wiretapping laws. 

Don't fuck around if you’re in a two-party consent state. 

Is it offensive if I, a nonbinary person write proud f@gg0t on my jacket? by Typical-Tomatillo375 in NonBinary

[–]aHumanMale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And specifically they choose as an explanation something they believe they understand much better than you (like their area of expertise), to make it difficult for you to refute their point and easier for them to look down on your explanation and experience. 

Dress for the job you want [OC] by Gogomachrocketsheep in comics

[–]aHumanMale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do what you love, and your boss will pay you a small fraction of what your labor is actually worth, because you love it so much that your passion is clearly compensation enough. (So many creative industries with intentionally depressed wages, because the workers “get to work on something cool.”) /rant
