nah, furries have existed since ancient history, we just like anthropomorphizing.

Call your union

90% of Americans have failed at this step. That’s not a joke or hyperbole, less than 10% of Americans have membership to a labor union.

Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.

Yeah there’s not much jovial energy to go around either. Any time I see misinformation today I don’t go April Fools, I just try to ignore it and move on.

What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

It’s not just theirs, I swear every fuckin streaming service has made the most dogshit algorithm of all time. If I have a playlist of 100 songs, and I hit shuffle and repeat, I expect a list to be generated with each song in a random order that will get played through until each song has been played once, and then ideally a new randomized list is generated to listen to the same 100 songs again in a different order.

For every streaming service I have used so far, my experience is that it’ll just pick a cluster of maybe 10-15 songs, and cycle through exclusively that until the algorithm either decides you want to listen to something not on your playlist, or the internet connection breaks for a second and the algorithm just gives up completely on randomization.

It is more work, but imagine how cool you would feel with a big red button on your desk that you hit to turn the light on!

I was at a local protest yesterday. There were probably a few thousand of us in total. As we were marched around, led by police officers who monitored and managed our progress the whole time, I just kept thinking “This many people working together could probably actually do something that gets national attention.” We have a Trump Tower in my city that the protest went by, and everyone just ineffectually flipped it off or yelled some dumb shit like “Fuck Donald Trump.” I bet if we’d all charged the lobby at once, it’d have broken through to national news, but instead we kept an orderly and maintained peace as we shouted “No Justice, No Peace.” It won’t surprise you to learn corporate news didn’t bother to report on it, since nothing really happened.

I’m getting out of this place, Americans have no goddamn chance. They don’t know how to protest, they don’t know how to scare their oligarchs anymore. It’s no wonder the oligarchs are laughing at us, I’m laughing too.

…but is it actually a good buttplug?

because you’re only seeing through a lense that is controlled by capital, and they refuse to show the demonstrations. I went to one yesterday, there were thousands of us and we took to the streets to demand trans rights. I won’t speak to the efficacy of the protests, but they are happening. News of them is just being suppressed.

I’ll preface this with I am not a parent and have no interest in child-rearing, so I’m speaking purely from a realm of past experience and some child development statistics I’ve read over the years.

I’d say absolutely yes, fully knowing and expecting that they probably are planning to have sex. If you haven’t had a talk with them about what that kinda entails, I’d highly recommend doing so, and making sure that they’re practicing safe sex. This might be your kid’s very first time, and it’s very important to instill healthy sexual habits into them. If you’re in the U.S., do not think that their school’s sex education has prepared them in the slightest.

The last thing you want for your kid is for them to go through an unexpected pregnancy or get an STD. If you teach them to be thorough about protection and consent now, it’ll set them up for the rest of their life.

Not sure if cute is the right word per se, but I know ostriches can sometimes get so attracted to their human farmers that they stop doing mating displays for other ostriches, and only do them for the farmers.

So at least one animal thinks we’re hot.

So, from an investing standpoint, there’s really only two things that can happen. Either the market will recover, and continue steady growth, at which point you’ll definitely be mad if you pulled out completely. The alternative is the collapse of the Western hegemony, at which point you’ll have much bigger problems than your 401k account.

Wait, he’s buried in Wisconsin?

Well, my weekend plans are set now!

is it really all that? the ads promise existential horror, but I never thought it’d deliver.

It depends on the school.

The vast, vast majority of armed militias that are allowed to operate in the U.S. are far-right white supremacists. Mysteriously, they are allowed to operate without any issues, but any leftist militias that start to accumulate guns get a visit from the FBI or the ATF.

If anyone who looks like that is single and desperate enough to be posting flyers, they should try sliding into my DMs. They’ll find love much quicker there.

I really want someone to just really start messing around with the human genome, see the limits of gene expression. Let’s add horns, let’s add tusks, let’s add tails, and wings, and carapaces, and antennae, and claws, let’s just see what happens. Human evolution has gotten so tired and trite; let’s add some spice.

So they’re gonna continue the status quo?

You can’t be more mad about them actually saying they’re raping and pillaging the Global South than them doing it. The U.S. has worked to keep the Global South impoverished and exploitable for my entire life. I’ve never seen any politician even mention it as an issue. Americans didn’t care before, and now Vance is publicly admitting they don’t care.
