My guess is if you can tell you're about to wake up, that means your imagination had a great idea for a premise, but didn't know how to write a satisfying ending for it, and you noticed things were starting to unravel. You could try, as soon as you wake up, start workshopping what a compelling conclusion to the dream could have been. With some practice, your dreams might start to incorporate those ideas. Or just enjoy the sex, and don't worry about your dreams needing to be complete works.

That's optimistic. I think one of the more employable/profitable skills is going to be learning how ai works so you can get it to be full of shit in a way that's useful to your boss.

Remember when people called mike bloomberg an oligarch, and others were defending him by citing webster’s dictionary or whatever to say that an oligarch can only be from russia by definition.

Either keep your compound words to a reasonable length, or get rid of spaces entirely and have one word per paragraph.

People criticized Obama for performatively pretending to drink water, and now here's Biden actually drinking water. Sometimes we just need to maturely accept incremental progress and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Ukuleles make a comeback

For a second I thought this was about the counteroffensive.

Wasn't there just a picture of him still consulting at the white house? The guy was an ongoing evil, and now he's been stopped. crab-party

I look forward to a week or two from now when we can just lump it in with silver-legion

The most aggravating thing about these is that they keep implying hexbear is a straight site that made the decision to let us be here. When they make detached from reality insults like hexchan or israel it’s easy to say ‘lol, no’. But I hate that they’re also trying to smuggle in the idea that of course it’s the straight people that are in charge of this website. Probably without even realizing it.

Personally I prefer the ones where they just call us fake queers.

It really falls apart any way you look at it, but some of them seem to believe they’re the one person who is immune to propaganda and has complete control over their biases and associations. Like, okay even if that’s true, what happens now that you shared it with people that aren’t as big-brained as you.

Exactly. Sometimes people will defend it with some supposed high-minded origin, like "it's not saying being gay is wrong, it's using trump's homophobia and insecurity against him and turning it into a vulnerability that we're using to trigger him". And maybe some of the people repeating it actually believe that, but the images don't come with a paragraph explaining the nuance. They're just supposed to be an easy shot at trump, you're supposed to laugh and keep scrolling. Most people liking or sharing them aren't thinking about it any more than "haha, he's owned cause he's gay".

You can spend all day convincing yourself that your specific way of thinking about it isn't racist/homophobic, but when you share this shit online all that stuff stays in your head, and you're just spreading bigotry.
