I like how rap music is deeply pissing off conservatives again. For a few years their complaints were just low-energy generic racism and half-remembered stereotypes from the 90s, but between WAP and Little Nas X, they're going out of their fucking minds again.
Like when WAP got to Ben Shapiro so much that he revealed that he can't sexually pleasure his wife- awesome shit.
This is for real something that would cause a global recession. That little hiccough in trade for a couple weeks as ships reroute could easily cause a recession on its own, never mind the current pandemic and current crisis in corporate debt (in the US).
Kinda feels like everything is touchpaper right now and some guy made of matches just walked in.
Most of us are people who don't have healthy social lives. Please can we get along and not fly into shitfits. Look I don't know how to talk to people, I haven't had that ability since I was ritualistically harassed by my peers at a festival while tripping. Let's just make this thing work. An imperfect union.
When word fail me I use :meow-hug:
Gonna :meow-hug: you now, I don't really have social skills either emojis help.
Of course this can go wrong very quickly with the paradox of tolerance / bad faith assholes, but generally I agree with you and appreciate your sentiment since this is so important.

On the topic, what's everyone's read on the recently resurfaced Richard Stallman drama over the past week? I don't want to make excuses for bad people, but I don't think RMS is a bad person and has been misrepresented to an insane extent by the wokie radlib brigade. Now we have companies like Red Hat and Mozilla latching onto these opportunities and it makes me very sad for free software in general. They're painting him as a transphobe to amplify the cancelling attempt and from what I can tell he isn't one.
Thoughts?

I don't honestly know who that is, what's the background?
Thinking about becoming an Ever Given truther. Look forward to me claiming it's still stuck a year from now.
I always get way overstressed over applying to jobs :stalin-stressed: :stalin-stressed: :stalin-stressed: :stalin-stressed: :stalin-stressed:
I'm trying to destress the process by just applying to jobs en masse with a generic cover letter but just getting that written so stupidly stressful, it's like damn I hope this combination of words is convincing enough to get me a job cause I apparently have to explain why I deserve to live!!!
Oh shit the ship is floating https://twitter.com/evanchill/status/1376379027393482761
I hope it comically floats around and gets stuck in the opposite orientation it was originally in
I hope the very next boat getting through when they reopen immediately gets stuck.
Giant Vessel Is Now Afloat, Inchcape Says: Suez Update - Bloomberg
While the ship is floating again, it wasn’t immediately clear how soon the waterway would be open to traffic, or how long it will take to clear the logjam of more than 450 ships stuck, waiting and en route to the Suez that have identified it as their next destination.
Inchcape? They couldn't think of a better name than what is clearly a euphemism for foreskin?

The saving grace is that neither Ever Given nor Suez rhyme with McConnell. If one or both did - we'd have 100,000,000 lib jokes about it already.
is this a rewrite of a song or something? had a strangely compelling rhythm
Yeah it's Kanye's "I miss the old Kanye" freestyle of The Life of Pablo.
Bad news guys, Xi Jinping just logged onto reddit and saw a post comparing himself to a fictional anthropomorphic teddy bear! He's so owned that he's giving up on communism and is disbanding the CCP :deeper-sadness:
Oh god oh fuck putin just logged in and saw a post insinuating that he's gay! He stepped down, Navalny is president now :(
Oh, no, he starts black hundreds again, who could have predicted this. Anyyyyywayyyy, good to see democracy restored.
Alright, I just watched my first Sorken film, and no one wants to hear me rant, so I'm gonna tell y'all.
Cw: rape
Trial of the Chicago 7 was hot garbage.
They made Tom Hayden, an anti imperialist marxists, a career soc dem with a respectability fetish and obsession with American lives lost.
They made Abbie Hoffman, an anarcho communist and revolutionary, a liberal who believed that the problem with the US was that Nixon was the president.
They made Jerry Rubin look like a dope.
They left out the best parts of the trial, from abbie hoffman insisting he was born in the 60s, to Ginsberg reading erotic poetry on the stand, to to hoffman calling the jewish judge a nazi in Yiddish, to Phil Ochs being cautioned for singing on the stand, to everyone calling the judge a fascist pig, to people refusing to swear "in the presence of ladies", to hoffman insisting Washington was a stoner, so much was left out
What was left in was sanitized. Bobby seal was bound for 3 minutes in the movie, 3 days in real life. He was not concerned about police brutality, he was against the whole white capitalist power structures down to the slave owner whose portrait hung on the wall. Abbie and ruben were no longer revolutionaries, but edgy liberals. Hayden was made from a stalinist to a soc dem.
Then, needless violence and conflict was inserted. At one point, imaginary frat boys are mad that a woman has an american flag, so they attempt to rape her, only for her to be saved by Jerry Rubin. They make a committed pacifist punch a balif. They add ed tension between hayden and hoffman. Why? There was already so much tension in the original.
One of the most offensive parts for me was when sorken used hoffman as his mouth peice and made a jewish communist quote gospel while advocating for american democracy
I also have multiple stylistic complaints I'm not gonna start on.
I'm so mad, I want to give Aaron sorken a giant wedgie.
Another cool @lydiaaaaaaa megathread, learned something new again so thanks lydiaaaaaaa :trans-heart:. Jesse Ownes I've never heard of till now, thanks U.S american education system :acab:

that'd be cool, ngl i'm a little nervous about it, I haven't really got to play much and I've mostly dm'd since none of my friends ever wanted to haha
Was nervous too playing for first time but everyone here is cool. I've had my handheld so much and feeling a bit more confident now. All the players in my first group are dms so I find it super fun.
We love our @lydiaaaaaaa don’t we folks? Everybody is saying it. Her megas, they’re the best!
