After a lifetime of claiming that being weird is cooler because being normal is boring I may have to give that one up. Being a Trump cultist is NOT what I want people to think of if I say I’m a little weird.

Hah, I too have been called a goober… it was past midnight and I was searching for some kind of term that wasn’t more explicitly crass and offensive.

I am of the opinion that swearing and extremely rude insults are good, but only when used sparring, if you use them all the time, they lose their punch and you just sound like an overly aggressive idiot.

Maybe at some point, someone will come up with a more specific more pointed epithet that truly encapsulates all of the ways these people are irredeemably despicable. I’ve used MAGAtard in the past, but various mods on lemmy consider that ableism.

It’s not quite as weird as selling a Madonna Pap Smear but it’s still pretty fucking weird.

Never said it was Trump that paid for it. When I first saw the headline, I though it was a Sacha Baron Cohen style prank setup.

Also, it was CPAC, not the RNC, but that’s immaterial.

He’s for sure gay. He talks in his book about when he was “tricked” into believing he was gay. He has just suppressed it his entire life. It’s probably why he’s such a sad weird loser.

aside from having peter thiels arm so far up he can taste it, he spends his time on a discord server full of 20 yr old statue-perv greek-gay fascists.

so yes, in the worst way. kind of why he thinks women are only useful for reproduction.

He’s a narcissist who was smarter than the other trailer park kids, and wants to distance himself as much as possible from his heritage. I’ve seen it a million times. They’re snobbish, materialistic, judgemental, cruel, and just extremely unpleasant individuals. I’m slightly sympathetic in that they’re damaged individuals, but I’ll never trust one, and they don’t give two shits about anyone who doesn’t benefit them, or they’re not related to. And the latter is entirely situational and transactional. They’ll abandon family in a heartbeat if they’re determined a liability or embarrassment.

Don’t you mean couch?

Well I don’t have the affliction of continuing to make the same joke, that was never based on anything real, for weeks

If you’re saying that I am “afflicted” with noticing things very intentionally made to look like a naked woman asking for sex with her posture… Uh yeah, that’s called preferring women and having a sex drive. Kinda programmed by millions of years of evolution for that one.

Maybe you fuck all the things you notice, but I don’t.

no, im saying we should respect their dehumanization of themselves.

it’s not a reason to do violence to them. my shoes aren’t people, and I would be upset if you fed them through a wood chipper. just a reason not to feel too bad if we need to.

no, they did that, deliberately and by choice. if you treat them like people they get mad, and I think it might be unethical if you see them as such.

unethical as in, like, violating their consent and contradicting their self image and shit. they do not consent to common human decency, and wouldn’t accept it in good faith if they could, which they cannot.

edit: think about it like using the wrong pronouns for someone because you think they’re such a cute (their AAB gender), it’s fucking rude. no matter how cute a (whatever) you think of them as. they don’t want you to.

What, exactly, is the problem with rejecting the humanity of people who literally believe in race science and want to literally kill you in mass genocide?

Liberals will go to any lengths to defend fascists if it means they can send one last sneer to the left, holy shit.

it’s not about being the same species.

this is, in fact, about the criteria for intelligence inclusive of non-human intelligences

we can’t just say ‘all humans are automatically in’. if you’re not going to be a bigoted piece of shit. and I think it’s pretty clear there are entirely non-hypothetical non-human people. elephants, dolphins, corvids, octopi, etc. these are persons. on top of hypothetical non-human people we might make from the thought-sand or find out amongst the stars, who we should have some metric to at least indicate personhood for.

so, if the criteria isn’t just “human” (which is bigoted as shit) then you need other criteria; a bar which it is at least hypothetically possible for a human to limbo under, with fascists being the world limbo champions. on purpose. intentionally. to the point insisting they are human and have all the capacities and fullness of humans (which, remember, they don’t want, and are mostly upset by the existence of) seems disrespectful. they’re objects. like a desk. that isn’t to say you should attack them because they’re objects. I am currently surrounded by objects that I would rather not see attacked. it just means there’s no moral dimension to any degree of self defense, if, say; my purse tries to kill me and I need to stab it.

xLube is pure polyethylene oxide, kLube is xLube with preservatives, and jLube is kLube with a bunch of sugar for some reason! I use xLube personally, if you make it with bottled water it can last a month or two.

Just avoid lubes with glycol in them if you’re going to be using it for anal. Glycol actually acts as a laxative when applied anally, it makes it hard to relax your butt muscles and you might notice a bit of an unpleasant sensation. Many cheap water based premixed lubes use it as a base ingredient.

Only if people hold them accountable for their ignorance.

Being a voter isn’t free or a given. It’s a right. A right you can and should lose, if you don’t uphold the shared values of our social constructs to do what is best for everyone around you (which also, will include you).

That’s what all their anger and outage is, at people trying to hold the truly ignorant, i.e., truly blissful, accountable, and they don’t like it. Because it fucks with the bliss they’ve had their whole life being raging idiots and thinking the world works like a Nazi inspired Disney movie.
