“queer spaces should be inclusive of people who don’t enjoy sex and who have “strange”, negative or repulsed relationships with sex” and “sex is an important aspect of lgbt community, history, and activism and queer people should be allowed and able to talk freely about sex without stigma or shame” are ideas that can and should coexist.

That was awkward, and then your partner had to laugh to cover over the silence.

If you ever feel stupid or unworthy of your aspirations, please know that I am going to be a literal doctor. And today when we were driving to a farm call the vet I was with handed me her lunch bag, which I assumed was just a plain ol' bag she was passing off to me because I looked carsick off my ass. And which I immediately barfed into. With her lunch still inside. And after realizing, then went "oh my god I'm so sorry" and went to hand it back to her.

If someone like me can have a license to do surgery and handle illicit drugs, you can do anything

Something that bugs me is when people call Arvio a flirt or compare him to Albert when he's just a Silly Lil Guy. A Goofball. His brain is full of side hustles and a crippling fear of debt.

Dude, crypto literally says that about religion all the time. They're an occultist not a theologian. What are you on about " doesn't hold water." If all that's supposed to be personal the who the fuck are you to dig at someone you don't agree with?

Hey @cryptotheism can you clear this up or??? Afaik we've never gotten into an argument and I'm really not sure what this is all about??????

i haven't interacted with antis in AGES so i kinda got into the mindset of "yes, these particular mindsets can easily lead to/perpetuate the same underlying logic of many reactionary arguments, but i don't think this is intentional or realized by antis, and they generally couch their arguments in terms far removed from actual homophobia" and then i got called a pedo for drawing fanart of two 17-18 year old boys dancing. like

Help! My Investment Advice Is Not Being Taken

Social Q's, New York Times, 1 February 2023:

I was advising my adult daughter on a great investment in a field we know well. I even offered financial assistance, but she told me she was afraid to proceed. So I shared a very personal story: When her father and I were engaged, he was offered a similar opportunity. I begged him to postpone our wedding and use the money to make the investment. But he didn’t; he was afraid, too. I told her that marrying her father, instead of making the investment, had been a poor financial decision I’ve regretted ever since. I urged her not to make the same mistake. She then forwarded our entire text exchange to my husband (her father)! It didn’t cause any trouble between us. But she didn’t know that it wouldn’t. How do I deal with such a betrayal? I will never trust her again. — MOTHER

Dear Mother,

On the scale of human betrayal, it is hard not to situate what your daughter did to you as one of the more egregious crimes that humans have yet committed against each other lo these 230,000 or so years. The Bad Advisor doesn't pretend to say that humans aren't capable of coming up with something worse than asking a man about some shit he was already well aware of, but it's hard to imagine what that might be, and the Bad Advisor daren't speculate for fear of what nightmares await.

You ask an age-old question: Who dares snitch to Daddy? Where does a child, who is an adult and allowed to do whatever the fuck she wants, get off doing whatever the fuck she wants, up to and including telling her dad that her mother said a thing that both of y'all already had a conversation about decades ago? A thing which your husband is by his own admission not at all concerned about? The gall boggles the mind.

You could have been in big trouble with a man who openly gives no fucks about a thing he was already well aware of! What if your daughter had exposed you as a person who had feelings about an investment decision you expressly and specifically told your husband you had feelings about and with regard to which he gives not the barest shit today, nor gave the barest shit about ages ago? The consequences of your daughter telling a man a thing he already knew are nigh life-or-death, and she wholly disregarded them.

But what if your husband, who has known since the dawn of your marriage that you disagree about investment opportunities because you told him so, didn't know that thirty years ago -- when you specifically said that you wanted him to invest money in Dot Com Stocks Dot Co Dot Crypto instead of paying for a nice reception at the VFW hall and he said "Nah fuck it let's buy a huge fucking cake instead" and then y'all literally did that -- that you were actually specifically saying that you would rather him spend money on Dot Com Stocks Dot Co Dot Crypto, and he said no let's not do that let's do the wedding instead, which is what happened? Imagine the horror that might have ensued if your disruptive daughter, who refuses to take your investment advice, had disclosed to this man a thing that would not have surprised him in the least because he actively participated in it?

Well, you needn't imagine the horror. It happened: your daughter told your husband a thing he already knew, and here you are bearing the brunt of the consequences: deep betrayal by a woman who not only is obligated to listen to and take your financial advice, but who dares communicate with someone else who decided not to take your financial advice about their shared hobby: not taking your financial advice.

So: we know what betrayal looks like. We know of the Trojan Horse. We know of Benedict Arnold. We know of Brutus stabbing Caesar. These stories have shaped Western history, and given us a means of understanding ourselves and others. But do we know of the daughter who expressed vague trepidation at her mother's investment counsel? We do not, and the whole of humanity is the worse for it. On behalf of the world, we thank you for sharing your awful tale so that others may learn from it.

How does a mother deal with such a betrayal? A mother can do what only a mother can do: invest deeply in crypto, and let the ~ gains ~ speak for themselves.

i've been getting back into animal jam recently and i seriously forgot about all of the chat restrictions on that game. anyway here are some particularly funny excerpts from the AJC slang dictionary i've started

i purposefully tried to write these as seriously as possible and lemme tell you it is REALLY paying off

warning: the excerpt below the cut contains the f-slur

fun fact: i saw a group of players discover this uncensored word LIVE during a frat party roleplay. lemme just say it was HILARIOUS to watch all of that unfold in real time

Back into the swing of things ✨🏆💖

Getting back into playing apex with my fave crypto @meisakurohashi and we’re doing pretty well with our boys!! I’m having a blast so I drew some cryptage to commemorate!!

Every time someone from high school wants to reconnect it's either he wants to hit it or she's trying to sell me on her makeup pyramid scheme but every time I'm like no THIS TIME it will be different because I have an open heart and I have learned almost nothing from my time in this world

haVE LIFELINE AND MIRAGE SMOOCHED???????

No :) but my love for them stems almost entirely from A) they were both the characters i crushed on first and B ) The season 3 trailer with them in a trio with crypto. AS A MATTER OF FACT i ship them in a threebie, a throuple, a lil triange of love and understanding ;u;

im seeing people saying like, dont worry abt chatgpt and other "ai's" (they are predictive text generators) taking your creative/writing-based/coding-based job, they make shitty art and they lie. that one movie trailer looked like shit its all gonna be fine.

but i think that misses the fact that it doesn't actually matter whether these robots can effectively do the job or not. the mere idea of them maybe being capable of doing the job is going to be enough for various c-suites to rationalize "reorganizing" their companies to get rid of all kinds of jobs. replace all the copywriters with one guy throwing chum to the robots, etc.

id bet money that the super-credulous who-needs-liberal-arts tech world has already run their numbers on this, but i could absolutely see other industries following suit down the line. in the end it could leave normal people with fewer, worse-paying jobs, systems that dont work properly because there's not enough people to maintain them, and a universe of inferior products and shitty art.

as always, we are not at the mercy of reality. we are at the mercy of an idea of reality created by a handful of rich people who will believe whatever they need to in order to make ever-increasing profit.
