I feel like I should be horrified by this. And yet, I think it’s pretty cool.

Some spooky thoughts about it also there are already glow in a dark domestic flowers

OMG if we can get glow in the dark spider silk so I can avoid walking through them in the summertime near our garage door that would be great.

That’s dedication to one’s self-sabotage.

Self-sabotage? This will be the best sex that person ever had, or, something. It’s a role-play setup. /s

Grossman says that after finishing their shift, a cop says, “Gunfight, bad guys down, I’m alive” and goes on to have “the best sex … in months.” He says, “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex” and that “there’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. If you find one, relax and enjoy it.”

She died a traitor and her family is getting rewarded for it. Awesome.

GOP will want a statue of her in front of the Capitol.

I can see it now, the ultimate maga monument - Ashli Babbit 69’ing with Kyle Rittenhouse while Derek Chauvin kneels on the neck of a faceless black man next to them, jerking himself off. Behind him will be a banner bearing this quote from David Grossman: “They all say, ‘The best sex I’ve had in months.’”

And all captured in lifelike bronze…

Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.

I don’t feel it’s substantially changed, you’ve just added more detail. You don’t need to care about my opinion though, and I’m not suggesting you should; I’m just sharing how I see it.

I just think it doesn’t matter. We live in an economy designed to suck every possible penny from every person and pay them the least amount it possibly can, to ensure the enrichment of the 1%

Someone wants to keep a few more bucks in their pocket rather than spend more in some principled stance that will change absolutely nothing anyhow, I’m not going to judge them for it. Life fucking sucks for just about everyone in the US right now, to varying degrees. On the list of things I might judge my fellow man for, that seems ludicrously privileged and self centered.

You don’t get to decide who is poor enough for it to be “OK” for them to buy the cheap tier. I mean, sure, you do get to have that opinion of course, but man I’m sorry I think you are really kind of a jerk to have this attitude.

It’s literally the reason the cover art exists. To entice you to judge it positively and pick up the book for a closer look.

Whenever I hear anyone say that, I conclude it’s one of those things that somehow meant something slightly different when the phrase was coined. Either that or we’re all just a bunch of goobers.

So you’re angry that the poor are choosing the cheap option (🤔) because it helps the wealthy win? You’re righteously indignant because they ignored that “Doing without is an option” and decided to spend some entertainment dollars in a way of their own choosing?

Ok, but I don’t really find that very convincing.

Let’s not forget we’re dealing with the Administration that lied about Hatian immigrants eating pets, and when called on it the VP (candidate at the time) said, "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

This is straight up victim blaming.

That’s fair! Stories like this remind me that not every single thing is going in the wrong direction, just yet.

💯

Took them 35 years to apologize: (And people say the George Floyd Protests didn’t do anything)

They also tried to cremate remains without permission from the families, then realized they’d screwed up even that.

The party of taking things away.

It applies to literally anything they champion.

Regardless, if he had someone in his life to guide him in any way, I can bet that’s not the approach he’d be taking. This kid landed here by neglect, I guarantee it.

I kinda feel like this is a sincere attempt to improve his chances, and while yes I see the creepiness, I feel a bit sad for him also.

Willing to bet a makeover would help him more than anything he puts on a shirt, and no one in his life to tell him that.
