I hate this idea people have that if a parent walks in and turns off the tv while their kids are watching or playing something it’s evidence of some unhealthy attachment or addiction to technology if they get pissed off. If you walk up and slap a book out of my hand while I’m reading I’m going to have the same reaction, fuck off you’re not making some great social commentary you’re just being an ass hole.

[celticpyro]

If you slap a sandwich out of my hands and I get pissed it doesn’t mean I’m addicted to eating it just means I was enjoying something and then you had to be an asshole lmao

Ya ever feel like the ideal body type for women was inherently just classism and the perfect way to treat women like trophies because like back when women were Thick™ as an ideal body type the only women who were able to look like that were the rich and today now the type is super thin and the only women who can look like that are the women who don’t work labour jobs and can afford not to have a carb diet so basically men only go for rich women and have changed how they objectify women not because of some biological quirk that shifts their lust but entirely because the form of the most privileged women has changed therefore the best trophy to keep

[nosekissesbuttscritches]

It literally was. Fat was hype when malnutrition and starvation were common. A symbol of leisure.

Gucci Skinny was hype when malnutrition from cheap food was common and when most of the middle class had desk jobs. Symbol of control over women who now had more rights.

Instagram Fit ™ is hype because most people are overworked and too broke to exercise or eat properly. A symbol of “leisure” and wealth.

Silicon Valley’s ‘Startup Castle’ is looking for roommates, and the requirements are completely bonkers

[plasmalogical]

good thing i listen to exactly one song with explicit lyrics every day

[nazerine]

I’ve been saying this for a while but Startup Bro is the new and terrifying lovechild of the brogrammer and the business major and he is somehow even more self-centered and bigoted than either of them

[hapabap]

No, no, guys, look closely.

This house is looking for extremely physically fit young men (No drugs, no makeup, no special diet, exercise 15 hrs a week) who are passive and docile (no protests, no music lyrics with swears) who, most of all, will not be missed if they disappear (very little social media presence, not rich enough to own expensive luxury items, no need to constantly be in contact with their parents over bills/gifts, few identifying markings like tattoos)

This is obviously an organ harvesting operation.

[berlynn-wohl]

[gehayi]

Actually it turned out that the guy who was running it wanted to create a quasi-paramilitary organization.

There were so many horror stories about the place in the news that the landlord evicted everyone.

(Gotta say, though, that I like the organ harvesting scheme better.)

[ajani-on-the-spot]

“It would have been better to have found out this was an organ harvesting scheme” is not a sentiment I expected to see today, and yet.

Dehumanizing criminals are a favored tactic among authoritarians.

A society that has already demonized criminals and are stripping them of rights need only criminalize political dissent for opposition to be practically impossible.

Crime Dog visited the gay couple who wants to adopt her last night and apparently had a wonderful time. They let their dogs sleep on their bed and refer to them as their “kids” - I imagine she will be positively doted on. She got along splendidly with their old lab, which I’m glad of; she revels in canine companionship.

However, they’re going to be out of town until the 21st and are unable to take her off my hands until then. I think her extended stay may cause difficulties with my mother, who is starting to become worryingly attached to Crime Dog. I do not want to have to fight my mother over this because I’m not certain I can win - I have the willpower to give the dog up, but if I might not if it becomes a matter of ‘taking her away’.

On the bright side, I’ve found a new home for my mother’s frogs - they’re going to my friends in Ohio, so I can celebrate the idea that I am giving them as a gift rather than surrendering them because they were not sufficiently cared for.

Capitalism will put the bill on your grave and harass your grieving family until they pay

[theludicrousrival]

One of my cousins passed away unexpectedly at the age of 35, and had been paying back a loan from the bank. About two weeks after his death, my great aunt received a statement from the bank (his mail was being delivered to her house) about a late payment. She called the bank and explained the situation and the only thing a manager could say was “Well, that’s unfortunate. We can arrange so payments will resume in 30 days, that should be enough time to have already paid for the other arrangements.”

On top of the unexpected $10,000 funeral, cremation and burial bill, my aunt had to finish paying my uncle’s $5,000 loan. She’s a disabled retiree, on a fixed income, and could barely afford to pay for her insulin for diabetes. She nearly lost her home of more than 40 years. Fuck the system.

[lawful-evil-novelist]

She didn’t need to pay. When people die, their debts are not their family’s responsibility.

In fact, it is outright illegal to try and collect those debts from a person who didn’t cosign the loan and isn’t executing the will.

Debts and Deceased Relatives

Who is responsible for paying off the debts of your deceased relatives?

Consumer Information

Here’s a link to the detail on that one.
