I mean, Winston Churchill most definitely was a villain. He wasn’t the villain of WWII, but undoubtedly a villain.

He was intensely racist, had no problem using Indian people in his army while censoring their letters, as a famine he had a hand in creating killed over three million people.

That’s no excuse for peddling propaganda-Nazi propaganda, though. I thought that was kind of this guy’s shtick?

Is your kid in therapy? Because going by what you’ve said, your partner has been sick and depressed for 40% of your kid’s entire lifespan. That’s bound to take a toll.

Frame it as part of the treatment for MS.

Solid idea. Though, I feel like this is phrased a bit strangely, because it makes it sound like this is duplicitous. A part of the treatment for any chronic condition would be how to cope with and emotionally process living with it. This is part of the treatment for MS.

Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.

This particular tumblr blog’s entire thing is taking poorly cropped tumblr screenshots from Pinterest and reposting them on tumblr.

This actually makes me so cross. We can’t call plant milks “milk” because of their lobbying, and now they go and co-opt our stuff and taint it. The nerve of these corporations. I mean it’s crapitalism, I’m not at all surprised, but it’s infuriating nonetheless.

Are they at least labelling these corpse-littered products clearly? I’ve been a lacto-ovo vegetarian since birth, and a vegan for well over a decade; I can’t eat meat without getting horribly ill from it. I mean the obvious answer here is to boycott these companies (I already don’t buy quorn, and I’ve never heard of Smug Dairy), but I worry that other companies will follow suit and start sneaking corpses into vegan products.

If I had more spoons I’d go back to just making everything from scratch again.

I think it’s a mixture of toxic behaviours brought on by a patriarchal society, and an unhealthy dose of cognitive dissonance. Consuming corpses is for some reason a sign of masculinity, the less cooked it is the better, assuming you don’t char it on a grill because that’s the epitome of masculinity.

At this point, I believe most people know that a carnist diet isn’t exactly a good thing. There are severe effects on your health. It causes an immense suffering among animals. There’s an increased risk for various diseases being transmitted (salmonella, swine flu, avian flu, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, etc.) and making its way to humans. It’s an immense source of pollution and is actively destroying the environment.

Examining these things however takes volition, and plenty of people just lack that. Instead people compartmentalise it away because admitting you’re partaking and supporting an oppressive and negative system hurts so it’s easier to just pretend that you don’t.

I regret clicking this thread. So I’ll add to it.

Years ago the apartment complex I was living in was getting renovated. We got these little caravans put up out in the back which we could use as kitchens and bathrooms as ours were getting renovated. The bathroom ones had pump issues, and one day, as I was preparing to get into the shower in this freezing cold caravan (because what better time to do this than in the middle of the winter?), the pump crapped out and the sewage ended up backflowing, regurgitated out of the shower drain.

I did not shower that day.

I mean, inpainting isn’t particularly hard to make use of. There are also tools specifically for the purpose of generating “deepfake” nudes. The barrier for entry is much, much lower.

I love the idea of a dinner plate bed.

A giant crib?

I don’t get it, either. The White House has a website, which is certainly a place they could announce it. Further, there’s nothing stopping the government from hosting their own Mastodon instance, specifically for communications like that. Using X seems like an endorsement of the platform, and the person currently calling the shots.

Trump isn’t held to any standard. That’s the thing. No one has any great expectations of Trump. His campaign should have been over when he mocked a reporter’s disability, but it wasn’t.

At this rate society isn’t worth preserving.

Not at all, if anything I feel affirmed. He seems like a really cool guy. A shame he keeps getting shafted.

Do you need complex investment options in your bank? I’m sure some banks offer that here, but there are also dedicated services specifically for gambling on the stock market, which I think more people would be drawn to as they are focused on that specific niche. The bank investment options are more for long-term savings rather than proper investments.

Proboscis!

Countless ants.

It’s giving three body.
