My boomer parents told my younger brother to cut his hair (it's very curly and a little unkempt but nothing crazy) because businesses might not hire him for "looking trans." His objections were met by them claiming they were only trying to help and then asking him if he didn't want them to care about him anymore. Boomers are some of the most manipulative and disgusting people I come across.
I found a local martial arts gym that is explicitly trans-friendly and in a couple weeks I'm gonna start learning me some kung fu!
Just some dudes being dudes
:arm-L::comfy-cool::arm-R:
I just quit my job. There was an open position that I wanted to move to, so they let me work that position as a "placeholder" for 2.5 weeks, during which time I repeatedly reiterated that I enjoyed it and would like to be given the job. One day they put me on the schedule for my old job with no communication, and it was on me to ask them what the hell happened. They hired a stranger to take that job :agony-minion:
So I quit on the spot. I was the second longest lasting employee, having worked there for 6 months. The longest lasting employee has been there for 9 months. I wonder why people are constantly quitting :thinkin-lenin:
Bonus points: When I was asked if I'd be giving 2 weeks notice I was just like "hell no, y'all have never given me 2 weeks notice of anything" :gigachad-hd:
I feel so free
I just had someone try to tell me that “being a wife guy is toxic because it’s a red flag for codependency disorder”. Motherfuckers, you don’t need to do this. Once you’ve reached the point that I could recreate your takes with a Twitter madlibs book, you need to take a step back. You’re just playing word games. This doesn’t fucking mean anything other than an intent to emotionally inflame people. There is no underlying verifiable claim in that statement. I hate to get all new atheist and start citing fallacies, but goddamn this pushed me over the fucking line
i was talking with my mom about the rapid rise in transphobia and she seemed legit worried about it, and then my brother walked in and heard me say ‘people who get called groomers should sue’ and immediately diverted the conversation into how it sucks that 'as a blonde white guy there are things he can't say'
Since this is the lifting thread, Im remembering all those people who Go ewww I dont want to go to the Gym. I want to be "Toned". I don't want to get shredded!! Like mfers lift a ham sandwich and end up arnold schwarzenegger 2.0
Yeah this is the funniest thing to me. It takes a ton of work to get shredded or huge from lifting. It's a common misconception though
Jessy and James were revolutionary communists and ecological activists. Smeared as terrorist and Pokémon thieves, while they were actually liberators.
"To protect the world from devastation"
Clearly stated goal of stopping the world from polluting nature and destroying and humans destroying the habitats of humans and Pokémon alike.
"To unite all peoples within our nation"
James alludes to the shared struggles of the working class, that needs to come together in order to overthrow the bourgeoisie capitalist elite
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
Jessy is pointing out the inherent contradictions of liberal ideology here. Claiming to be for truth, rationality, love and freedom but at the same time grinding it down for marginalized peoples in the Third World with their imperialism.
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
While preserving earth and promoting equality first and foremost, we can come together to ultimately explore the cosmos united under communism.
"Jessy, James. Team Rocket is blasting off at the speed of light"
Note that the red R of team rocket is analogous to the Red hammer and sickle symbol of communism
"Surrender now or prepare to fight"
This displays their revolutionary fighting spirit. They are driven to fight for the cause (communist revolution) for all workers and marginalized peoples of the world and exploited pokemon.
"Meowth"
Meowth is a reference to Chinese revolutionary Mao Zedong, who was notable for his sharp critique of landlords.
It goes without saying that I want Ukrainian refugees to get the assistance they need but I’m beyond disgusted by the double standard of US immigration practice. It’s not even policy...they just make up the rules.
It is literally this:
:us-foreign-policy:
This is kind of why I'm amazed that communists ever even won anything. You got like the entire bourgeoisie and their hangers on who got the most drip, the most guns and are well fed and educated and shit and are more than ready to put your ass in line. Stalin would shit blood, had one arm and was probably malnourished. Your average Red Army conscript in Russia probably didn't even know what the direction "Left" was, much less read. Here in the USA, you're going to have really out of shape, overweight Instacart workers who grew up on government cheese, poorly printed math handouts, shitty TV, AND frikkin' cheetos fighting petite bourgs who were on the rowing team at Duke, Eagle Scouts, talked about philosophy at the dinner table eating Whole Foods™ and had every kind of extracurricular imagineable
Fucking Edgar who works at JiffyLube and que se lo paso trokiando y pisteando is going to be hiding in the fucking rocks in the Mojave desert with a busted up AR15 he got from his gang banger uncle as the kids who had internships at finance firms in highschool hunt his ass down with the finest weaponry the state can conjure up
bruv, how do boomers only small talk about work, do you really only exist to come here and do this shit day in day out? did you kniw the pronghorn, the North American antelope basically, is the fastest land animal in north america because of an evolutionary arms race with the north American cheetah that is now extinct? ain't that interesting? no? ok back to the fucking oblivion NPC conversations it is then around the morning coffee table
