this place has a brunch menu where everything’s named after this summer’s movies. so you got stuff like “indiana jones and the mango french toast of destiny” or my favorite:
This is exceedingly common. Cops will shoot their own dogs, then use their deaths as copaganda.
The vast majority of police dogs “killed in the line of duty” are killed by the cops themselves.
Cops also kill an average of 25 pet dogs every single day, per Justice Department statistics. Frequently these dogs are shot and killed while children are present.
“you can’t pick and choose what you like from canon” common misconception! yes you can
but please do not get this very true concept confused with “you cannot pick and choose what is canon”
they are two very different things.
thank you for this addition seriously
Pick all the cherries you like, but don’t tell the next people to come by that there are no cherries aside from the ones you have in your basket and those exactly like them.
No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that’s so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you’ll say “Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you’re right” and that doesn’t mean you were “morally toxic” before, it means you’re a non-omniscient human capable of growth.
you’re doomscrolling and see some post on your dash start off with grade-A uncut liberal tripe, im talking Picrew icon making a powerpoint about how anyone criticizing democrats or telling you not to vote is a russian chaos agent, and you keep scrolling waiting to see when someone dunks on it, because surely this wouldn’t just be on your dashboard uncritically, right? you curated your following list better than this, any second now there’s gonna be a funny reaction gif or a - okay well maybe it’s under the “continue reading”? no? it just keeps going? oh thank god we’ve finally reached the end, this will be the sarcastic takedown. wait… no, this can’t be right, it’s a comment from liberalsarecool about Hillary’s emails??? where’s the leftism?????? and you break your index finger scrolling back up to see who’s responsible for making you see this HuffPo fuck shit before cocking your head to the side and going “oh, you!” because of course it’s one of the handful of normies you followed way back when you first joined and never got around to unfollowing as your politics shifted from “voted for Obama” to “America delenda est” because the flash of anger you just felt is one of the only things that makes you feel alive any more
almost peed my pants today when my bf told me about this dude in his hometown who dressed up like ryan gosling in Drive every day (including driving gloves) but did not own a car. bf was like “yeah we called him Walk”
was at a tattoo convention today and i saw a guy with a spider-man tattoo so i walked up and went ‘oh dude is that spider-man? badass! i love spider-man!’ and then looked down and realized i was wearing my shirt that says I LOVE SPIDER-MAN in big black letters. i’m a parody of myself
stop calling me a cartoon character or an npc or a wojack i am a real boy.
Hearing about gaming websites being suspected of using Chat GPT to write articles about, like, ‘how to do xyz thing in game’ and reading about people being accused of using Chat GPT to write soulless emails for them really gives me the feeling that if something *can* be replaced with Chat GPT, then it probably *shouldn’t* be done, like at all. Maybe *nobody* should be writing buzzfeed articles, whether it’s underpaid journalists cranking out a new low-effort article every 10 minutes at a breakneck pace or if its a robot doing the same thing. Maybe nobody should be doing this, like morally speaking.
at this point I wish advertising in general was just literally illegal. Word of mouth only. Maybe exceptions beneath a certain net value like if you’re a startup or a family run business but if you’re already making a billion dollars then making even one single commercial or banner campaign should be a crime and I mean a crime like the CEO gets investigated on national television and goes to prison forever and everyone agrees they’re a sick fucked up maniac
