He's just going to SAY they were extracted and you know what? That's just how things are now he doesn't have to actually do anything but tell his usual lies and move on

is this the post-truth reality they told me about

I know what you're trying to do but you do have a problem and need help.

Could you not have posted this entire thing without this one sentence? It betrays whatever intention you have, here.

e. actually nah I don't really think any of this was necessary at all, in fact.

Agreed. I was mostly just posting I guess a preemptive selfcrit here because I was one of the upbears 😓 I want to say I had that more charitable reading of an otherwise offensive sentiment in mind when doing so but it’s just as likely I was projecting my own perspective i described above on garden variety chauvinism I was too sloppy to recognize and I don’t want to give the illusion that I support that. I feel a bit silly for it but I will own that

The original wording of this post I remember was pretty bad but I have to admit I don’t think plastic surgery would be anywhere near as popular outside of a medical context were it not for the very outrageous beauty standards that exist in the world today which compels women to conform more and more just to be seen as valid, real, worthy. It is anyone’s choice in this society to do what they want with their bodies of course (though I do think it is another discussion altogether how much agency can actually be claimed when forces of coercion are so strong as modern-day standards of beauty) but I’m not going to sit here and say I don’t think it’s even a little bit tragic what people are compelled to do to themselves in pursuit of this. I don’t believe it is a liberatory or empowering thing most of the time at all. frogman could have said it like that, I think a more charitable reading like that could have been got out of it, but that’s not what was said, yeah.

i come back to this one a lot tbh

I don’t either but I don’t have a choice because if I unmask I die, so. idk dog I think you ought to just do it. the more people mask the safer people like me are. does that mean nothing to you?

It’s the default option when you make an account which is where I assume most of the “I don’t give a shit about pronouns” stuff would land, yeah. I make a note of it whenever I see a bad take now lol

Also a big Covid minimizer from what I remember. Had this person blocked on my Lemmygrad account and didn’t remember on this one until recently when they made some subtly racist jab in a topic about the four Trump shooters being white guys.

what point do you think you are making here exactly.

[-] Ivysaur@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

I need to know what the pro-LGBT message is in fucking Sonic Adventure.

Not to be too doomer but this same thing has been tried so, so many times and it has failed/ been sabotaged every time. Every single one of them. Even this one is trying to do the stupid Apple-esque, Corporate Memphis shit on their landing page. You will never be able to sell this in the modern technological hellscape. We must return to the old ways, and I'm only partly joking.
