"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

my mom, discussing furries with me: but I don’t get all the cats and dogs, why wouldn’t you want to be a sexy animal? like a kangaroo

me: mama what the hell does that mean

my mom: so muscular

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

solved the paradox of the ship of Theseus btw!! turns out the answer was “it depends”. hope that helps, have a good weekend everybody!

This philosophy shit is easy

do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often

anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now

Had the funniest kid on a field trip today who had obviously been on my tour before but wouldn’t fess up to it and instead just pretended to be deducing and intuiting the answer to every question on the spot. I didn’t rat him out because I didn’t want to embarrass him and because I was really impressed with his recall. He’d clearly learned and retained a lot and I was flattered!

I was like “does anyone know why fire might be important to a prairie ecosystem?” and he raised his and said, with this theatrically exaggerated air of thoughtful consideration: “I think it might be because many native prairie plants have deep roots and keep most of their biomass safe beneath the soil, so that when a fire burns the dead plant matter above ground, the roots stay alive and can grow back stronger on the nutrients from the fire?”

like yeah dude it’s like you read my mind or are receiving my whole spiel from memory with suspiciously exact phrasing… good job

he either plans to be your loyal apprentice or to inherit your kingdom through trickery. you must prepare yourself to either have the most dependable compatriot or the most formidable rival in the near future

your move, Nickelodeon.

It’s even funnier when you realize Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Phineas and Ferb, used to write for SpongeBob in season 3.

phineas and ferb heritage post

Ok I’m going to be extremely neurodivergent for a moment. Dan didn’t just write any old episodes, he wrote some of the MOST iconic episodes of SpongeBob.

He did the Nosferatu episode. The Alaskan bill work. The fry cook games. And even though he wasn’t a WRITER for the camping episode, he did write the campfire song song.

In conclusion Phineas and Ferb was out there being iconic before it even came into existence.

The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.

One of the rare times where a comment section is delightful the moment I open it

truly do not understand or sympathize with those "I BOUGHT THIS BEFORE HE BECAME A NAZI" stickers people have been putting on their Teslas because there has never been a point in time when he was doing even a halfassed job of appearing as a potentially Normal Guy. when he first started making waves in the news it was immediately obvious to anyone with half a brain that he was a dumbass who bought his way into every position he held because he doesn't know jack shit about technology. he started out as the stupid person's idea of a smart person and went downhill from there. if you ever held a positive opinion of him you should be ashamed of that and deeply investigate whatever personal shortcomings led you to that conclusion

.....are most (any?...) of you in the habit of buying cars based on a positive opinion of the owner of the company?.... Do you assume any owners of car companies are normal guys???

Musk has always been pretty clearly not very capable for anyone who bothered to look, but Teslas were annoyingly for a while one of the better electric cars on the market a decade-ish ago. So if you were buying a car like a normal person who doesn't furiously research the CEO, a Tesla would've been a reasonable enough conclusion to come to. Musk was way less of a household name during that time (and his politics were all over the place, so a casual glance would not have told you white supremacist fascist.)

Like yeah, anyone driving a cyber truck is a chud, anyone driving a new model is an asshole. But assuming someone who is driving an older Tesla is automatically one of those weird musk fanboys vs. someone who just wanted an electric car (ostensibly a good environmentally conscious thing!) is a huge logical misleap.

I'm also gonna toss out there: the left and liberals really need to learn how to gracefully welcome people who aren't perfect back to sanity. Setting aside the wildly different moral stakes between "not being able to recognize someone is full of shit about their engineering abilities" and "bigoted fascist," even if someone WAS a Musk fanboy because they weren't able to recognize he was not in fact Tony Stark, if their reaction now is "holy shit, this guy is a Nazi, this isn't what I signed up for," that's good.

Why would we punish what we want to see? Have y'all ever felt like continuing to work with someone who says "shame on you for being too stupid to know ________.“ ?

I'm probably taking the post too seriously, but Jesus H Macy on a teeter totter.

I don’t mean to be old but computer used to just have games. U didnt have to pay for em either but if u wanted u could get a little CD that put the game onto the computer and you could play it forever and ever even if the company that made it went to hell and shit. You didn’t even need the internet or wifi or anything. And it was pretty neat

It would be a finished game, too. If you played long enough and did really good you could go to all the places and get all the stuff. You never had to pay more money later it was just there. onn compter
