It looks like too much extra work for too little benefit, unless it's super-important to you that it's blended. It doesn't seem outrageous, though.

I'm okay with formal hierarchies, such as in an organization, where there are checks and balances and accountability. A racial hierarchy is bullshit.

The left believes conspiracy theories. They're just different conspiracy theories.

Some body types are more...fashionable than others. For example, a woman who is deemed "chubby" now would've been a perfect 10 centuries ago.

Since beauty is subjective, tastes will be different from person to person, but certain types will dominate depending upon the culture at that time and place.

I was part of a coding bootcamp, and one day the class was talking about git. Somebody mentioned that "git" is also a word used as an insult, like "That guy is a total git". When I revealed that was where the name came from, several students audibly gasped, and a couple said something like "Oh, how embarrassing!" I had the weirdest sense of culture shock, and I had no doubt those students would make very good corporate drones.

For them, I guess. I can imagine some folks would be embarrassed to tell people that they use GIMP for the same reason.

That's what I heard, too. He has a habit of naming his software projects after himself: Linux, git.

He's an "imperfect vessel", but God uses imperfect vessels. That's what I've heard from Christian Trump supporters.

And it's hard to argue with. He's done a lot for them. He got Roe v. Wade overturned!

Fascists can act out their power fantasies in a healthy, consensual way in the bedroom. Not in my government!

So, do you start licking the boot from the toe or the heel?

Or are you the kind of person who just deep-throats the whole boot?

Vaush explained the idea in one of his streams.

Yeah, I quit watching him. Dude is pretty problematic. "Genocide is bad and wrong, but still vote for Biden, because party loyalty is more important." At least he has the balls to criticize Biden, which is more than I can say for some people.

I don't think that voting for the same two parties is going to change that. Those two parties got us into this; they aren't going to get us out.

Voting for the Green Party is the bare minimum. Voting for Democrats or Republicans is capitulation.

It makes no difference to the victim whether or not the fister is enjoying it. The experience is the same.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I've heard a lot of people use that same logic. "I want the cow to have a happy life before it's killed for my dinner". Isn't that the while logic behind "free range", "cage-free", etc.?

It isn't even that. You can be pro Zionism and anti Netanyahu.

This is largely a myth. While it's true that caffeine is a diuretic, the effect on hydration is very small. This is especially true for tea, which has minimal amounts of caffeine. Hospitals are not full of people who got dehydrated from drinking too much coffee or even energy drinks.

Do a web search for "caffeine dehydration myth" (no quotes). There are lots of articles on the topic.

There's decaf tea, like there's decaf coffee, but it's still camellia sinensis.

Now, if you're talking about herbal tea, there are a bajillion different kinds: rooibos, chamomile, lavender, etc. Some herbal teas do have caffeine (such as yerba mate), but most do not.

It isn't a good test, because YouTube algorithms are shitty. For example, I disagree with Ben Shapiro probably 90% of the time and think he's an odious troll, but because I watched him in a debate once, YT pushed videos of him for months after.

if you go on /mu/ it's gonna be no more toxic than basically any other forum you could go on.

I used to go on /mu/, and yes, it's unbelievably toxic. I'm glad I don't use 4chan anymore.

And this was long before all the QAnon shit happened.

Why do people keep bringing up Palestine when talking about TikTok? Is this some CCP astroturfing?

"We are going to put Satanic chaplains in Florida schools, nothing in the bill places limits on who can become a chaplain, and Ron DeSantis can not simply amend the Constitution limiting the religious liberty of some by proclamation from the podium. "

excellent, yes. exactly. @thesatanictemple

So, there’s a lot of confusion about what TST is and what it does.

TST exists as a church for Satanism. Its activism is (primarily) based around fighting for the rights of Satanists.

If TST didn’t need to fight for the rights of Satanists, it would still need to exist for every other reason that a church exists.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is a common misconception. TST is not a joke or parody religion.

But you don’t become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?

Sure you could. Why not?

zarkanian ,

I guess what they do is the opposite. They say “religion” when they’re really just taking about Christianity.

Your question was “How is it that people turn vegan and don’t eat enough lentils?” and my answer is “Easily enough, if lentils weren’t part of their diet in the first place”.
