mom’s bf:
I was just thinking of this guy. 🤣
Any person who freaks out over grammar lessons and destroys a child’s homework is completely unhinged and seriously needs some mental health care interventions.
That lack of impulse control and rage has no place in a family setting… or anywhere really.
I guess these are the family values conservatives are pushing these days. Grown men ripping up a kid’s homework assignments. I guess book burning wasn’t enough.
How do I do factorials on the word bad?
Them idiots
I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real
Sadly, if my abusive step dad were still alive I absolutely can see him doing this
Wound’t going entirely gender neutral be progressive?
That’s what THEY want you to think.
Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
Better yet, a grammar book from 20+ years ago.
Holy shit, wait, what if we convince them that gender is a liberal hoax?
Don’t they already believe that? What you call gender is a concept they don’t believe in. They use the word as a synonym for assigned sex.
Your flaw in logic and reasoning is applying logic and reasoning.
Dude doesn’t even remember elementary school English lessons.
It doesn’t work that way. These “people’s” worldview is “heads I win, tails you lose.” They will be selectively hyper-credulous to whatever bullshit they want to believe, while turning into hyper-skeptics about anything they don’t want to believe.
You will never, ever win against them with a logical argument, not even reverse psychology, because the only rules they play by are the ones they make up second-by-second to make them victorious against you.
No, we convince them that having sex is woke.
It’s too late, they get the breeding stuff stamped into them early. Channel vladimir putin, from his house in russia right to yours by way of conservative talk radio!
Gender is why we need all the different pronouns in the first place.
On one hand, this is obviously fake
On the other hand, there’s 7 billion people on the planet and the odds that one of them would do this is very high
*8 billion since 2022
Not necessarily. As someone who worked in education for a bit. You’d be suprised how crazy parents can act, and how they can overinterpret everything as political.
One parent got mad I was teaching the students about “radicals”… in math. (you know the opposite of the exponent, the radical).
I think (hope) they felt very embarrassed when I explained that to them.
Is it obviously fake? In a country where far stupider shit happens regularly?
Yeah this looks fake because it’s a dramatization of reality. I’ve seen young dudes IRL argue whether it’s “gay” to wash the balls, and the unmentionables behind that. Literally just soap and water bathing. We’re talking people so uneducated they don’t know the word “gooch” or “taint”, or anything similar. There’s always at least one older dude who leaves to shower like a normal person, but he’ll be back later to buy some weed.
Tangent, but can you imagine buying weed from someone who doesn’t wash their ass? That’s part of the history of the war on drugs. Unwashed perineums, in your lungs.

When you can’t get it legally, you do what you gotta do.
The year was 1991.
My roommate decides to eat hot dogs.
We keep breads in the freezer so they last. Toaster is broken.
I tell this to my roommate before I go to the toilet.
I come out and I see a pot of boiling water with hot dogs and hot dog buns in it.
My roommate decided to boil bread to warm it up.People can be far stupider than you could possibly ever imagine.
I’m less offended at the boiled bread than I am at the boiled hotdogs.
you might as well just eat them cold, they’re precooked. You heat them on a pan (or grill) to add FLAVOR. boiling generally removes flavor. Browning the skin in some way (Grill, pan, those rollers at gas stations,) is that flavor.
The only exception to boiling removing flavor is hot dog carts and stands and such like, where the water hasn’t been changed… ever… Yes. it tastes amazing. no. You don’t want to know why that is.
George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
Bao hot dogs where?
Did he eat the bread sog sacks?
He just dipped the hot dogs in ketchup and at them while I pissed myself laughing.
I had a friend that liked to put butter and honey on his bread before he put it in a two slice toaster. He did this every morning for years.
Each time the toaster broke or caught fire, he would put it out and get a new toaster and repeat the process. He may still be doing it to this day.
Should’ve just bought him a toaster oven
Aye, I put the garlic butter on the bread halfway through the toasting process, and it is beautiful.
I fucking love toaster ovens. I wish we didn’t have a small kitchen.
I told him to buy one. He didn’t like them. Kept using his toaster.
He was not stupid, but he was an idiot.

“Conjunctions are a liberal hoax by the Democrats.” --J.D. Vance (Probably)
Not to deflect from the stupid lies of Trump and Vance, don’t vote for them, but they learned from a master:
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.”
George does not like pronouns. George tries to keep George’s temper under George’s control when the (plural) people George interacts with use pronouns.
The plural form is clearly peopleses.
Peops?
Popeses
Those are the guys wearing hats that look like ppses
Why’d you call me cat over?
Funnily enough this is how many non-binary people want to be adressed in german, as the equivalent of “they” (sie) is not used as a neutral version of he/she. Probably because “sie” is the same word as “sie” (she).
Sounds like a call to CPS is needed. Maybe a game of ‘shot to the chin’ every time he uses one.
Rock um sock um reactionaries.
A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
I would suggest it’s the conservative ideologies that are toxic, education is the antidote.
I’d posit both statements are true and fundamentally complimentary.
Well, toxins are
inorganicnot really alive, so they’re not really killed by antidotesNow if the analogy were infections an antibiotics….
(Edit corrected a word. Apparently, toxins are produced by organisms, got confused for a second there.)

Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo. Going this wild about a common grammatical construct because it reminds you of people you hate for existing isn’t conservative, it’s something far worse.
Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
No, that’s a lie conservatives tell to make their ideology seem less abhorrent.
What conservatism is actually about is perpetuating hierarchy.
That would be the tradition they favor.
One could argue that so called “traditions” they are holding so much dearly in their heart never was fully a thing and is just the product of past idealizations and marketing propaganda. “The perfect suburban american trad family” from the 60s is a construct made by marketing people to sell fridges, diamond and beautiful car.
Idealizing a fake era of greatness which came before the weak, but also very powerful bad people took it away.
Now where have I heard that one before? 🤔
It was an era of greatness, but conservatives destroyed it.
An era of greatness… for white people.
Climate change is a thing and back then life was cheaper, this “MuH WhIte PeOpLe” shit needs to stop. 80s and 90s were not some sort of ethnonationalist world where black people were genocided.
I thought we were talking about the 1960s? You know, the era that where black people didn’t have civil rights or even voting rights in some places legally until the middle of the decade and were still being lynched in significant numbers? The era where both Malcolm X and Dr. King were assassinated?
I stand by my comment.
“The perfect suburban american trad family” from the 60s
Had one working parent and stay at home moms. But they don’t give a single fuck about that part of it, do they?
They don’t talk about the 90% top tax rate either.
“Nobody paid that. They just reinvested in their company [and their employees and reputation] instead.”
No shit. Sounds great. Let’s do that.
The world is honestly too far into the crumbles for it to work like that anymore, they would just use circuitous accounting to funnel it into bunkers, militarized yachts, private armies, and extra planetary fever dreams.
Can’t just give up though. It’s one step towards making things better.
We don’t have to solve it all at once.
In liberal democracy, the status quo is liberalism. Conservatism was to conserve the monarchy and aristocracy.
There is a difference between historical conservatism and what it has become. Even setting that aside, there is much daylight between what a movement will profess and what it will ultimately produce.
No, there really isn’t. True conservatism is an unbroken line from royalists, to confederates, to nazis, to Trump.
It’s the allegedly small government, pro-freedom “conservatives” – i.e. self-deluded liberals who mislabeled themselves – who were the aberration.
What’s the most confrontational way to respond to someone who agrees with you?
I think you dropped your writing prompt
Fascism. The word you want is fascism.
Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo.
That’s just what Conservatism claims to be about, but it has always been regressive
I think we agree that most self-identified conservatives aren’t actually very invested in the status quo or tradition, and are actually regressive reactionaries, but I think it’s a clearer point to say that most self-identified conservatives aren’t in fact conservative, than that conservatism isn’t actually what people (claim they) mean when they say conservative. At that point, conservatism loses its meaning.
At that point, conservatism loses its meaning.
Conservatism hasn’t lost its meaning, conservatism just never meant what conservatives claimed it meant; it’s always been a façade.
Conservatism is about conserving (and reinforcing) power structures; all talk about ‘tradition’ and ‘stability’/‘status-quo’ is wool over your eyes.
The status quo is white supremacy, patriarchy, gender norms, and capitalism. That is what they are conserving. Those are the traditions.
And the preservative is done through fear.
That’s also your brain on being a stupid little dipshit who didn’t pay attention during elementary school grammar.
That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
The mother has some question to answer when it comes to her BF choices.
