Straight cis white men are the worst. Like really, I'm not even doing a bit. Just the worst.
I mean, obviously not the whole cohort, but goddamn I don’t know of any other demographic that feels like they need a goddamn parade for performing the barest amount of introspection
This is what pisses me off the most - their intellectual laziness. It's like people think they have the right to ignorance. They fucking revel in it. I think the American Dream is no longer money. It's not having to think anymore. People just want to float through life unbothered with anything, including responsibility or guilt or having to even question their own actions or thoughts.
I'm not doing a bit either. This is genuinely what I think.

Introspection can be difficult and painful, and people being introspective and thoughtful is laudable.
But the ease of avoiding any introspection is different for different demographics and straight cis white dudes can usually avoid any amount of it, and get cheered for the slightest most superficial amount.
Lots of dudes are good people and not the worst, and it's an easy punching bag even for those of us who identify as that. But we don't deserve any more praise for doing the bare minimum than anyone else.
Whoever was playing Hardspace: Shipbreaker - you can disable the time limits! I did, for my playthrough. Makes the whole thing sufficiently chill.
But then the corporate guy turns up and somehow perfectly recreates the experience of a miserable workplace right as you're liking your crew, and honestly I blame no one for being triggered by that.

It's an uncomfortably weird inverse of "one of the good ones", and it is always self-applied and fucking yikes.
I've had the white savior beaten out of me enough to see performances like the one in baby reindeer and feel like I need to down the entire bottle of nedroid poison on their behalf.
I will watch the whole series because I low key hate myself I guess.

I don't want any more praise, I want to come here and post about food and motorcycles and not be made to feel like I'm getting zoned out of my own community
Like I was taking a shower five minutes ago and it's just like, oh, okay, gonna be sad/upset now. Nobody benefits from this.

Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

What irritates me is when someone argues against trying to contemplate the things they've always and continue to take for granted, and that's for EVERYTHING. Not just aspects of a privileged life, but even intellectually/academia. It's a thing and it bothers me.

Fair. I shouldn't be working out my own guilt and shame about my shitty things and uncomfortable privilege at the expense of anyone in our community.
I genuinely apologize and will try not to be shitty like this again in our space.

Only planet-killing gaia-haters take showers. Smell bad, bro. Do it for the universe!
can someone explain Khruangbin to me because several different algorithms keep throwing them at me and near as i can tell they're just noodle wank soft jam and they suck
Boo! Booooooo!

and then you die and even worse lose like 2/3rds the salvage
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

i read the little two sentence blurb for Baby Reindeer on Netflix and immediately was like nope no no thank you
Here’s the summary of my hottest takes:
- there are details he’s straight-up lying about
- knowingly and voluntarily enabling abuse is not the same thing as being a victim
- forcing people without their consent to hear your tearful admission of being an insane attention-whore narcissist is, in fact, you just being an insane attention-whore narcissist
- Robert Gadd is, even now, deeply toxic and unformed, and deserves no pity or redemption whatsoever.
It's an uncomfortably weird inverse of "one of the good ones", and it is always self-applied and fucking yikes.
I've had the white savior beaten out of me enough to see performances like the one in baby reindeer and feel like I need to down the entire bottle of nedroid poison on their behalf.
I will watch the whole series because I low key hate myself I guess.
I think the part that makes Baby Reindeer truly appalling is what you just said, this guy really does position himself as some kind of cool progressive who is singularly hampered by problems only he could ever understand or experience, and to him that story is so novel and important it needs to be told to the widest audience possible, and damn all the glaring evidence showing him downplaying and ignoring his own toxic harm.

Is he lying about being raped?
No, most of the details that I highly suspect he’s lying about are regarding his girlfriend
The rape thing is …. complicated, but there’s no reason to assume he’s not telling the truth about that specifically

I mean
I’m not saying you’re right
But you’re definitely right about Richard Gadd
??????????????

But seriously this is a fucking banger of a song.
Such a great riff. Straightforward, good bass...
This guy has no idea what the blues are, but he made a good hook.

Farting on pets deserves a medal tbh

Do not challenge dog to farting contest.
Beware.

Big cheeks go brrrrr
Yeah just finished Act II. Oof.
Still got all the points right?
Also I had a department retreat all day today and gotta say sitting in a room holding my farts all day is not what I ever want to do.

I follow the drummer for these guys on the social medias and that’s how I found out about them but I think this is a good song regardless
They’re from PDX

this is me but in hard manspace
It probably wasn't all the way down. Big things can sometimes slow down (you know, with all the friction you get in space) and not quite make it
this reminds me of Mission of Burma
i dig it
Is he lying about being raped?
Tried to tire him out and he did play fetch and wrestle with his toys for like 20 minutes
But then he remembered that the roommates aren't home and now he's back in howler monkey mode

I messed with it a bunch because I had almost the full countdown after it hit the barge, just bugged.

I got it in one of the monthly humble collections but I thought it was some gonk multiplayer game.
