Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

What's distressing, but also important to understand, about JK Rowling hitting the "Denying trans people were targeted in the Holocaust" point is that it's kind of the last stop before she just goes full alt-right weirdo.

Joanne is denying the Holocaust (if a group was targeted, denying they were targeted is Holocaust denial) and that's going to lead to pushback from historians and experts. But Joanne is too deep in to believe what anyone who disagrees with her says, so she's just going to dismiss what those historians and experts tell her. And once she's disbelieving them about that one thing, well it's just a tiny step to start disbelieving them about other things.

This isn't by accident either, transphobic circles are swarming with far right agitators, ready to use hatred of trans people as an in to recruit people into their causes. They have handbooks for this sort of thing and they are, unfortunately, good at it. I suspect Joanne will be spouting coded versions of Great Replacement stuff by the end of the summer.

This is not a plea to try and pull Joanne out. She's too deep in, and even if she wasn't, she's already demonstrated an inability to examine her own prejudices, an unwillingness to hear criticism and a weakness to flattery. She is perfect recruitment bait for people who know what they're doing, and my impression is she's surrounded herself with people like that.

No, this is to understand two things: First is to use her as an example, to understand how a well meaning liberal can chase their own prejudices down a very dark rabbit hole. We are none of us immune to propaganda and even if we can't change what's happened to her, we can at least use it to protect ourselves.

And second is to understand that one of the main reasons you can't pull Joanne out of the transphobic pipeline is cause she is the pipeline now. She is the transphobic banner bearer now, she is funneling money and attention to these groups, she is their most famous celebrity and she is helping recruit people. Being able to show people how far she's gone, how deep into the right wing rabbit hole she's going, is important to help other people who still think she just "Had some concerns" know where her path leads.

Indigenous here is a political designation which describes a people groups relationship with colonialism - ie. Saami people are an indigenous group but Finnish/Swedish/Norwegian/Russian people are not, even though they are both genetically from the same countries- because of the groups different relationships with colonialism.

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

You know I've talked a lot about how writers go back and add things to Dick's childhood to give it more edge. When really they could have just pulled any Golden Age comic and expanded upon it. Because Dick nearly dies like every time he goes out as Robin.

For example take Batman #11 not a famous issue. But here's what goes down

Dick catches up with the Joker's men. They hold his head underwater until he passes out. Then the Joker ties him out and lights sulphur on fire so the fumes will choke Robin out. Robin manages to SOS signal with wires... I gues

And Batman arrive to find other people trying to help Robin breathe. Batman uses a pulmotor an early ventilator basically. And saves his life. Bruce then takes his half dead kid home, gets him in his pjs, and watches him all night long.

And then Batman goes out and finds the Joker "Try to kill Robin, will you? I'm going to give you the beating of your life!"

The angst that could be pulled from a mission like this? Trauma from drowning. The smell of sulphur. How Joker has always had it out for Robin in general. When Two-Face almost killed Dick there was a whole arc about the trauma of that event. There are like hundreds of these events from Dick's original childhood.

#its honestly like dark humor almost #like there was a comic where 2 randos found batman and supermans costumes and psychologically tortured him and jimmy like what the fuck 💀 #dc #hc thats y they never talk now. the Trauma but u cant not see supey so u put it on someone else

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

#u like literally described my exact situation rn op 🥴
