  • Imagine you are at a station, making a call on speakerphone in public (because you’re an asshole). Then you get approached by a person asking you to turn of the speaker (not even to end the call, mind you).

    At that point, I’d imagine the normal thing is to just comply with that request (even for dicks on speakerphone).

    Now imagine this person being not some random passenger, but someone working for the train company, in uniform and everything. And they’re telling you that they will fine you if you don’t comply.

    At this point, how fucking deep up your own ass do you have to be to ignore them?












  • You can hate the Biden/Harris stance on Gaza as much as you like (and there’s good reason to). But if you failed to vote for the obviously less bad option, you are partially responsible for the actions of the obviously even worse option.

    You could go into all manner of discussions about how being all but forced to vote for the lesser evil because of a broken and corrupt electoral system is terrible and a major systematic issue. And there’s a lot of merit there as well. But at the end of the day, those systems were not on the ballot.

    You actively failed to do the bare minimum for the people of Gaza, along with many other groups of people inside and outside the US just so you could watch the suffering from a slightly higher horse.
