  • I’m sorry you have to work during the eclipse. I understand that it’s moot whether or not you would enjoy it when it isn’t something that you have time for anyways, and that would make me frustrated by everyone talking about it too.

    I don’t really believe you that don’t care about any of that tho lol. Maybe not as much as your responsibilities, but no way you don’t care at all.

    “it’s just the moon” is honestly a wild opinion to me.

    It’s just the massive orb that circles our world through all of known history, which bends the oceans and tectonic crusts with it’s movement, that inspired incredible amounts of art and culture, and is about to create a phenomenon which blots out the sun, in an incredible coincidence of size, position and timing, as the latest iteration of a pattern that may well have been the original inspiration for ways of thinking that went on to become the foundation for all of scientific thought. Nbd.

    It never reffered to a gate, that didn’t exist at the same time. But camels do supposedly fit through said gate, if they get on their knees.

    Of course all bullshit to help rich people feel like being wealthy wasn’t a sin if they were “humble” about it.

    The institution of the police is like an occupying army.

    If another country invaded and occupied, would it make any sense at all to join that invading army in an attempt to “be better” and “improve things from within the system”? Or, if you joined that invading army, would you just be a traitorous bastard participating in the subjugation of your own people?

    ACAB because it is the job description to be a bastard. ACAB the same way all firemen fight fires; it is the main thing they are employed to do.

    Salad theory is rigid and respectable.

    Cube rule of food identification exists to be disproven aggressively for comedy and arguing. It’s a good time, until the person that believes it so truly they would kill and die to call a cheese roll up sushi arrives. They can make the conversation stressful.

    Names of things don’t have to follow “the rules of english” to change and morph with who is using them.

    Acting like there is any immutable qualities to any language or word is kinda silly.

    Currently, with the common opinion split pretty well, the correct answer for how to say it is “‘gif’ or ‘jif’”. Call it whichever you want.




  • Why anyone would do proper seatbelting “preventatively” when you have airbags and your car is built with crumple zones and just a low level general risk of getting in what is mostly a fender bender is honestly crazy to me. We now understand how collisions work, where they happen, how to build cars safer (ie with more airbags). There’s no reason to remain so scared anymore.

    Edit for context: I don’t literally think this, I was mocking something from the removed comment



  • I can’t believe people still act like putting a tiny piece of fabric on your face is even an inconvenience. So fucking dramatic “I can’t imagine living like this” its like living a regular life except sometimes you go an public and you put a little piece of fabric on your face. It’s similar in concept in some ways to how when you go in public you use pieces of fabric to cover your genitals, etc. oh man what a crazy fucking bizarro world can’t even imagine if we had to put fabric on parts of us when interacting in public.
