doesn’t matter what they want now…

if you’re in the states, then you need to get rid of the assumption that anything ever needs to make sense to republicans. the premise, support, warrant, conclusion—everything could be 100% wrong/false/irrelevant. it doesn’t matter to them. you can’t have these kinds of discussions with people who plug their ears and scream “fake news” at anything, regardless of how factual, that they don’t want to hear

i hope they have commercials

“these graphics will BLOW YOU AWAY!!!”

the graphics:

Yenor, an avowed anti-feminist, has spoken previously of career-oriented females being “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome”, and has called US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”.

good job, “female” R voters. hope you enjoy your new mandatory role as literally nothing beyond kitchen bitch/ birthing cow

the details are fiction, but the end result is the same. the trumpistan propaganda machine has been cranking up over the last year, but now it’s full throttle, so you should expect nothing but trump fellating victory pieces from now on. no MSM outlet is going to risk the consequences of allowing anything negative go to press about the regime with literally zero conscience or morals, and to whom no laws apply

ok, well…over 14 years i’ve amassed over 200 games; no way i’m letting that evaporate into nothing if i find out my days are numbered

accounts are “non-transferrable,” but how would they actually know if you handed over your login info to someone

“sparks concern”

coming soon: SLAMS! BLASTS! CONDEMNS! REBUKES! WAGS FINGER!

where did all the “vOtE 3rD pArTy” morons go?

there is NO social media that’s worth getting frustrated over

the first time a site does something stupid (“enter your ph # to continue!” or “disable your adblocker to continue!”) i’m out and never going back. the internet exists to provide me with things, not the other way around

how do i block any post with “hexbear” anywhere in the title or comments?

It’s not really enjoyable to make music now

LOL reminds me of when american ISPs were trying to convince everyone, anyone that “we don’t provide gigabit internet across the board because americans don’t want it”

GOP: “we need to stop talking about climate change because nO sCiEnTiFiC cOnSeNsUs!!!”

also GOP: “lets teach about how jesus made the universe in 7 days, 4000 years ago”

as someone with an unreasonably large head, the gamer beanie still too small

every day it gets more incredible to me that people are so fucking addicted to fake validation and fake likes from fake friends that they still use fucking twitter

dude if you rely on government funding and your work involves anything other than either exploiting poor people or blowing up brown people, or both, then you’re in for a rude awakening when the trumpistan agenda is in full swing

academia is toxic for everyone, but especially for women, and especially in STEM

lol and if the condom has been in your wallet long enough to imprint the leather, then you’re maybe too optimistic

i’m super picky about writing utensils and the “one” pen isn’t one of my favorites lol

but it works and i needed something somewhat visible in case i drop the pad somewhere

current fave pen is the pentel energel “kuro,” before that it was papermate’s inkjoy gel

the signo is a great pen too. i also really like zebra’s G301 gel pen, though i can’t stand the ballpoint version
