Well, not that shocked…

Can’t take a private jet from your mansion in the gated community to your high-rise in the city. Traffic sucks for everyone where it sucks.

(not that I give a fuck if it sucks for shit-sticks like Musk and Rogan)

Nobody in the non-cis-het-normative world is trying to destroy any dam thing. They are trying to live their lives without being killed for it. Nobody is out there killing cis-het couples for being in cis-het relationships.

And where I live, the Amish live in peaceful coexistence with the non-Amish so your nonsequitir doesn’t even make sense. Hell, the Amish have agreements with folks that drive them around.

I want my “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness”. My happiness doesn’t take away from someone else’s, unless they’re such miserable shit Gibbons that they, as mentioned before, refuse to be party to the social contract.

Oh, and keep assuming that there are no straight white men that are allies of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Oh, these “let’s get people to reveal their password reset question” Facebook campaigns again…

Time is a wheel. We’ve seen this movie before, and although we believe we know how it ends, we gotta keep looking out for the M. Night Shamalan twists.

70s and 80s yes. Not so much the 90s. Those were the salad years. Glasnost, the end of the cold war, the Internet… Everything was looking so positive. Hell, even the music was happier (although that might be selection bias).

The 70s and 80s were terrifying by comparison.

But of course, they’ll be reported in the news as “violent ‘anteefa’ extremists”, despite their beat-up lifted truck sporting “Trump 2028” bumper stickers and confederate flags.

And vote to increase funding for it.

Well, the man’s retired so he can be I suppose? When (if?) I’m able to retire, I plan on being as out of touch as possible :D

Oh, you’re one of those people.

their fears are legitimate

There is where you lost me. Their fears of… what… exactly? The gay/les/trans agenda? (to not live in hiding and fear of being murdered for whom one likes or loves?) That is not legitimate.

I will seek to understand. I will approach with curiosity. But to say their fears are legitimate is a bridge too far. There is no paradox of tolerance when one side does not agree or adhere to the social contract. That side wants LGBTQ+ people eliminated. They forfeit the social contract.

The ‘community’ can object as much as they want but the auction site (assuming it would even be a live auction and not some algorithm api thing) would sell off the property to some mega-conglomerate on behalf of the holding company and nobody Un the community would even be aware until the sheriff kicks out and locks the poor sap out.

And they got fucking expensive!

I think when people say “destruction of the planet” they are really meaning “our ecosphere and the multitude of species that are currently going extinct”.

Many recognize that we are in a 6th mass extinction period and understand that as the ecosystem goes, so do we. Is the spheroid body of the planet going to crumble or plate tectonics stop working because we’re gone? With all deference to George Carlin, no we know better (we’ll, there is the question about racking-induced earthquakes, but that’s a bit in the weeds).

I miss that guy

Reading bennyboy blabber on reminds me of:

"nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin’ to say

But nothin’ comes out when the move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish"

This bitch is lecturing on like they got the world’s problems all solved. Where’s all your solutions, bennybitch?

It’s gotta be… Right‽

I’m really not sure…

And a MAGA POS.

“it’s under investigation”

Should be the shortest investigation in the history of investigations.

“Is this your cubicle?” “yes” “You’re fucking fired.”

Anything else is smoke and mirrors.
