I’m trans and I don’t think conservatives just hate other humans. I think they’re scared and they don’t want “bad things” to happen to their communities and their children. They know things are fucked up right now, and they are right about that. It’s something we can all agree on.

The problem is that they’re being offered a bunch of things to point the finger at as a cause of their misery, like LGBTQ+ people/rights, immigrants, diversity, etc. On the other hand, those of us who are left-leaning are being offered the same type of thing, except in our case, it’s them. The media is doing such a good job of othering both sides that we’ve lost sight of their humanity and we don’t even listen to a single thing they have to say. Nobody is there to agree with them when they’re right and nobody is there to actually have a conversation when they’re wrong. Both sides just write off everything the other side has to say. It has to stop. If you think that these people only care about guns, taking away abortion right and getting rid of LGBTQ+ people, you’ve been played.

Politicians won’t stop using these things as political tools until we stop giving them reasons to. It is working so well for them.

Reality is that both sides are being manipulated. People on the left and people on the right are the same people and in these times we need to actively make an effort to remember that. Saying that conservatives just need to die out is so ugly and dangerous.

We need to start talking to each other again. We need to stop the constant consumption of outrage. I know it’s not an easy thing to do but you can do it, it can be done. It is an addiction that is destroying us all and it doesn’t matter if other people still consume, these things start with “You”.

Bahah yeah I thought so! It was SO amazing. Probably the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life so far.

Kinda?

I think “Only half the time.” is actually the correct answer here.

Or you could just find yourself freaking out at 7am with your arm up your ass all the way to the elbow trying to grab that cute heart shaped buttplug that was way too small and somehow just kept crawling further and further up your ass while praying that you won’t have to go to the ER. That’s cool too.

However, some Republicans have characterized Biden’s effort as a “bailout for the wealthy.”

I’M SORRY WHAT???

Do these people think that having an education means you’re wealthy?

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it certainly looks that way… Terrifying stuff to watch from the sidelines. I hope for all our sakes that these people have a moment of realization sooner rather than later.

There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down (www.issmmbeatenyet.com)

UPDATE: Ahoyoo has confirmed that Trimming the Herbs was uploaded with TAS tools, meaning that The Last Dance was the final legitimate level all along! Congrats to kazeihinn on the Last First Clear! The journey continues in Super Mario Maker 2…...

I’m sure one day they’re going to be selling those user created levels back to the users who originally created them.

Hah, funny. As a non-native speaker I never mix them up as I am very conscious of it when I’m writing. I’m also often translating from French in my mind to English on “paper” which helps differentiate all of them since they don’t sound the same in French.

@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

Currently I don’t

Edit: Is that a thing though? I really don’t think I do.

Edit 2: Took a second to think about it and yeah I guess because actuellement translates to currently it could be mixed up but I don’t think I have or have I ever heard anyone mix those two up. I also speak English since I’m like 5 years old though so maybe I would have at some point but I can’t say I do now.

I feel it’s the kind of mistake that people make for whom learning the language was a “necessary evil” / chore in order to succeed professionally

Ahhh yeah that would make sense, I do love languages and have always found them fun. I also grew up in a bilingual area. My little village is French but most surrounding towns/cities are English speaking and was immersed in it from a very young age. I actually learned English mostly to argue with the kid next door who only spoke English (and from a whole lot of American English TV.)

Nice! You could try hitting it with varnish or stain! Makes the wood look much more convincing.

Edit:

Here’s an example of what it can look like

Edit 2 hahah: Just saw someone else had mentioned it and that you’ve already experimented with it in your original post in 3DPrinting

It's kinda wild that zombo.com still exists (www.zombo.com)

zombo.com was launched in 1999. I remember in high school you’d see the new fancy web kiosk’s the school put up just displaying it as a joke. and being locked out of the address bar so you couldn’t change it. The fact that this url has been renewed, maintained, and updated with all the advancements web browsers have made...

Oh damn I had completely forgotten about that one!

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

That’s what I thought originally but then you look at those other logos and you start seeing some other ones that don’t look as shopped lol. Rocket League? Grindr? Bandcamp? Damn even Daft Punk… 😭

Did you say making fuck?

Basically non-existant but of course when it does happen it gets repeated over and over again. The main reason why anybody detransitions is because of how they get treated during their transition.

“If blacks should stand up against racism, and women should stand up against sexism…shouldn’t men stand up against feminism?” he posted on Sept. 20, 2016.

That same day, he also wrote, “I am REALLY sick of feminism and feminist. They are just as bad, if not worse, than racist.”

There’s plenty more to revisit with Robinson’s attacks on women, including calling them “whores,” “witches” and “rejected drag queens.” There’s also his record of quoting Adolf Hitler, fanning Islamophobia, saying trans people should be arrested for using bathrooms, casting doubts on the Holocaust and spreading countless dangerous conspiracy theories.

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

It is and it kinda isn’t?

He didn’t explicitly say he wanted to go back to women not being able to vote but he might as well have if you take every other fucked up thing he’s said into account.

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

That’s just a straight road for me.

It’s super cold and we’re very poor but we’ve got big hearts and lots of fish :3

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

We do and fishing has always been a huge part of our economy but things have changed. The money doesn’t stay here anymore.

Betch,
@Betch@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, it’s heartbreaking to see good hardworking people slowly lose everything like this.

Betch,

I mean yeah, of course. The jemories, the bemories and the memeries. They’re all encompassed in the memories.

I will start with season one I just can’t physically do otherwise but I will keep that in mind! Thank you!

Ahhhh much better. Thanks!
